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 have searched me and you know me
You're familiar with all my ways
You have placed your hand upon me
With such a knowledge I can't attain
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I make my bed in the depths
If I go up to the heavens
You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there your hand will hold me fast
Even there your hand will guide me
You are there
You are there
You have searched me and you know me
You're familiar with all my ways
You have placed your hand upon me
With such a knowledge I can't attain
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I make my bed in the depths
If I go up to the heavens
You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there your hand will hold me fast
Even there your hand will guide me
You are there
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you love me
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you care
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you're there
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you love me
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you care
I will sing
Sing a new song
Because you're there
