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.
You mercy taught us how to dance
To celebrate with all we have
And we'll dance to thank you for mercy
Your glory taught us how to shout
To lift your name in all the earth
And we'll shout to the praise of your glory
It's the overflow
Of a forgiven soul
And now we've seen you, god
Our hearts cannot stay silent
And we'll be a dancing generation
Dancing because of your great mercy, lord
Your great mercy, lord
And we'll be a shouting generation
Shouting because of your great glory, lord
Your great glory, lord
