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.
Take me back to the day I met you
When my dead heart came alive
I was running but you came chasing
You couldn’t wait to take me back
I’ll sing of a grace that’s still amazing
I’ll dance like a child before the king
And I’ll shout like I’ve heard it for the first time
You have come to save the lost and last
And you are the God who always takes me back
Take me back to the day I saw you
Through the eyes of my first child
You let my heart see how much you love me
The father’s arms will always take me back
Take me home to a place I’ll know soon
Where sin and sorrow cannot go
And all your family, forever standing
In the glory of the God who takes us back
