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.
Everybody praises the thing they love
Everyone announces what they adore
Where you lay your treasure there is your heart
There is your heart there you find your heart
Everybody's singing a song inside
Bowing down low with a sacrifice
We speak many words but our hearts we show
By what we're spending our lives upon
One name alone I am living for
One name my heart and my soul adore
Be the first and the last
Be the song that I sing
Jesus be my everything
Let if be seen in this life now
If anyone should look my way at all
This I prize and treasure most
You my god and you alone
Well it's you my god and only you
One name alone I am living for
One name my heart and my soul adore
Be the first and the last
Be the song that I sing
Jesus be my everything
O o la la la la la la la la la
Everybody praises the thing they love
O o la la la la la la la la la
I'll be praising you my god
O o la la la la la la la la la
Everybody praises the thing they love
O o la la la la la la la la la
I'll be praising you my god
