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.
A room within a room am I
A world within the world outside
Hidden from the eyes of men, I’m your secret
Most of life is lived inside
In visions of the soul and mind
Don’t want to waste this sacred space
When you’re in it
I am your cathedral
In the midst of the people
In the congregation
Life is lived
Before the audience of one
Everything I say and do
Every little part of me
You see the silent conversations in my head
You see me when I rise, I fall
My God, my God, you see it all
Every dream I dream while on my bed
A room within a room am I
A world within the world outside
You fill me with your glory
Then you break out
A tabernacle filled with you
A riverbed that flows into
The desert of this broken world
God break out
Break out
Break out
Break out
I am your cathedral
In the midst of the people
In the congregation
Life is lived
Before the audience of one
