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.
On the battlefield where the fight is waged
My enemy is real and my courage fades
I lift my eyes, I lift my eyes, where does my help come from
I look to the king
Eternal, immortal, invincible God
I stand on the rock of ages
My savior, he conquered it all
I look to the king, I look to the king
On the battlefield of all that lies ahead
Here your blood will speak
A greater word than death
I lift my eyes, I lift my eyes, where does my help come from
Victorious, victorious
Reigning over us, forevermore
Victorious, you are victorious
Reigning over us, forevermore
