La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
At the cross
At the cross
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my soul rolled away
It was there by faith
I received my sight
Now no longer I but christ in me
I will run to the cross
Where you opened up my eyes
I will sing of the love that saved me
I will bow in the place
Where your death became my life
I will run
I will run to the cross
Oh how endless the hope
Oh how empty the grave
And the joy of a stone rolled away
It is there by grace
I am raised to life
Now no longer I but christ in me
It is no longer I
It is christ who lives in me
Christ who lives in me
Christ who lives in me
