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.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Elyonna Adonai
(God almighty, God almighty, God in the highest, oh LORD)
Age to Age your still the same
By the power of the Name
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Erkamkana adonai
(God Almighty, God Almighty, I will love you, oh LORD)
We will Praise and Lift you high
El Shaddai
Through Your Love and through the ram
you saved the son of Abraham
Through the power of your hand
You turned the sea into dry land
to the outcast on her knees
You were the God who really sees
And by your might you set your children free
Through the years you made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people couldn't see
What messiah ought to be
Though your word contained the plan
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of your son
