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.
To you, o lord, I cry out
For your arrows pierce me deeply, deeply
For your hand is heavy on me
Because of my sin
But lord keep me, keep me, keep me
I am in trouble, I am in trouble
My iniquity is over my head
My flesh is weary from convictions convincing
And I have been weeping all night in my bed
It’s the sound of a heart crying out to God
And the sound of his heart calling back to you
It’s the sound of a heart crying out to God
And the sound of his heart calling back to you
All of my tears you hold in your bottle
Like a sentimental thing
My tears of repentance you hold like a treasure
Like a sweet offering
All of my sighing reaches your ears
You know that I love you
So help me, help me, God
And the lonely you will comfort
And the broken you will heal
All my sighing reaches your ear
