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.
I was hopeless
I knew I was lost
Death and darkness were my only songs
I needed someone to come to rescue me
And mercy heard my plea
Lord, you found me
You healed me
You called me from the grave
You gave me your real love
I thank you Jesus
You washed my sins away
And now I'm living
Like I'm forgiven
You came to set me free
And that's what your mercy did for me
You gave beauty for my guilty stains
And now I'm living day to day by his grace
So excuse me if I can't contain my praise
Cause I know that I've been saved
Lord, you found me
You healed me
You called me from the grave
You gave me your real love
I thank you Jesus
You washed my sins away
And now I'm living
Like I'm forgiven
You came to set me free
And that's what your mercy did for me
And every morning mercy will restore me
I will proclaim
And even if the world may fall before me
I will proclaim
Lord, you found me
You healed me
You called me from the grave
You gave me your real love
I thank you Jesus
You washed my sins away
And now I'm living
Like I'm forgiven
You came to set me free
And that's what your mercy did for me
That's what your mercy did for me
