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.
Haunted by a past
That I can not escape
Got a long list of broken
I wish I could erase
Don't know why I live defeated
When You say that I am changed
And I'm more than my mistakes
So today I choose forgiven
Today I choose redeemed
Today I choose to listen
To what You say about me
This time I won't give in
To the lies I once believed
I'm falling into the outstretched arms of truth
Today I choose You
Today I choose You
Even on the bad days
When You feel out of reach
Even when the heartbreak
Is all that I can see
Your word remains the same
And it says that I am enough
I'm defined by what You did
Not what I've done
So today I choose forgiven
Today I choose redeemed
Today I choose to listen
To what You say about me
This time I won't give in
To the lies I once believed
I'm falling into the outstretched arms of truth
Today I choose You
Today I choose You
Your loving, Your mercy
The freedom You give me
A life that has been made new
Today I choose You
(Today I choose You
(Today I choose You)
I choose You
So today I choose forgiven
Today I choose redeemed
Today I choose to listen
To what You say about me
This time I won't give in
To the lies I once believed
I'm falling into the outstretched arms of truth
Today I choose You
Today I choose You
Today I choose You
Today I choose You
God I choose You
Everyday I choose You
