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 spread out the skies
Over empty space
Said, "Let there be light"
To a dark and formless world
Your light was born
You spread out Your arms
Over empty hearts
Said, "Let there be light
To a dark and hopeless world
Your Son was born
You made the world
And saw that it was good
You sent Your only Son
For You are good
What a wonderful Maker
What a wonderful Savior
How majestic Your whispers
And how humble Your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a Father
How majestiv Your whispers
What a wonderful God
No eyes has fully seen
How beautiful the cross
And we have only heard that faintest whispers
Of how great You are
