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.
Come As Close As You Want
Come as close as You want,
Consume this heart that longs to burn
I know Your fire can hurt,
But I would be worse here without You
For I was made to dwell with You,
And how I ache until I do
● Refrão
Holy God, Take my heart,
Purge with flame and truth!
Holy heart ,is all I want,
That I may live with You!
Come and take all this chains
That get in the way of what You want
And as I stand in the flame
Still I will say, "I trust You God!"
