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.
How my soul longs for the Lord
Yearns after Him, waits for the Lord
And my heart is lifted up to You
And until I see Your face
I will not give in
I will not give in longing for You Lord
I'll not be satisfied
Until I see your face
As the deer pants for the water
My soul is thirsty after You Lord
And as I live to draw near You
You'll draw near unto me
I will not give in longing for You Lord
I'll not be satisfied
Until I see your face
I will not give in longing for You Lord
I'll follow close behind
Until I see your face
And in the wilderness
I cannot see ahead
You tell me seek Your face Lord
And Your face I will seek
'Cause I will not give in longing for You Lord
I'll not be satisfied
Until I see your face
I will not give in yearning after You
I'll follow close behind
Until I see your face
