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.
Who are we that a King would trade heaven's riches
For a stable and a manger low
Can it be Great I Am bending down to reach us
Morning star let this dark world know
Here is our promised One
Jesus our hope has come
Unto us, unto us a child is born
Unto us, unto us a Son is given
Glory to God in the highest
Wonderful Prince of Peace
Emmanuel has come to set captives free
With the angels we sing
Glory to God in the highest
He has brought this great love
Unto us
Who are we that a King would still walk among us
Knowing He would only live to die
Cross of shame, crown of thorns He still chose to carry
Beauty broken breathing us new life
Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Love has come
Emmanuel
God with us, You are God
You are God with us
