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.
Colossians 3:1-4
I think about all the time I wasted,
Trying to figure out
What in the world my heart could ever trust
What I finally found...
There ain't nothing on this earth
Was ever gonna satisfy (me)
I think about all the life I've tasted now
What I'd done without
And sometimes I still wonder how
You turned my heart around
How You brought light into the world
Love into my longing life
Well, down here,
I find my hope when I'm looking for You
Well, things are looking up now...
CHORUS:
Set my mind on things above
I prefer the wonder of
Your amazing grace, Your higher way
Your mystery
Won't rely on earthly things,
Only want the love You bring
'Cause I hope in the Heavenly
I think about all the time I wasted here
All that I dreamed about
And in pursuit of happiness I fear
I let some people down
So Lord, I pray that they see through me
See You on the other side
Well, down here,
I find my hope when I'm trusting in You
Well, things are looking up now...
CHORUS
Down here, I find my life in You
My heart is complete
For You're all the hope I need in the world
And You're the love I lean into
Yeah things are looking up now…
