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.
I heard it all from the cheap seats
Assembly Hall Arena, Champaign, Illinois
Just a poor college boy making noise
Writing my first songs
Steven Curtis up on stage, singing speechless
Left me speechless and amazed
Tears rolling down my face
I heard a still small voice say: That’s gonna be you someday
Telling the world about amazing grace
Telling the world about a God who saves
Something inside me came alive that day
I’ve never been the same
Can you hear the sound of a life changing
The sound of a dream that’s waking up inside
Can you hear the song
The song of a new beginning
Amazing grace how sweet the sound of a life changing
The sound of a life changing
Now the stage is under my feet
And you’re in the crowd looking at me
Singing: Child of the one true King
And when I hear you sing
I can’t help but think
Could this be your defining moment
The moment you decide to cross that line
And leave the past behind, yeah I’m no Billy Graham
But I come as I am, and you know, that you can too
I’m telling the world about amazing grace
Telling the world about a God who saves
Does anybody wanna feel alive today
I promise you we’ll never be the same
It’s the sound of a tear drop touching the floor
It’s an I don’t wanna live this way anymore
The sound of a first-time whispered prayer
It’s a Jesus I just need You here
The sound of a nail through the hands of grace
The sound of a stone being rolled away
The sound ringing out from an empty grave
Hallelujah, hallelujah
