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.
Checkmate the end, I've lost again my hope it is running out
Dead end, good bye, I fought I tried, in my desperation I cried out
You told me to look to the sky your mercy opened my eyes
I saw an army strong and mighty, chariots ablaze
I saw an army fighting for me, making a way, making me brave
I saw an army
The final blow is soon I know, and their getting stronger and stronger
the end is close I feel alone, I can't hold on much longer I reach for You
You say there's no need to surrender, Your mercy it helps me remember
I feel salvation coming, lift up your eyes
I feel salvation coming on the hillside
