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.
My feet are tired, from the runnin'
My strength is gone, for overcomin'
My lips are silent, I don't know what to pray
So I'll wait, I'll wait for you
My eyes have seen your hand deliver
My heart remembers you, my help and my defender
My well runs dry, but I've known the taste of rain
So I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Here I am, I'm reachin' out
I need you always, oh, I need you now
I'm comin' close, so we can stay
Hand in hand until we stand face to face
I still believe in new beginnings
The battle rages, but I still believe you'll win it
The night will bend, to the light that's breakin' through
So I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Here I am, I'm reachin' out
I need you always, oh, I need you now (oh, I need you now)
I'm comin' close (ooh, ooh), so we can stay
Hand in hand until we stand face to face
Face to face, you are the light here
When bondage breaks and darkness dies (oh, oh-oh)
Face to face, you are the end of fear
Who you are, brings heaven here, yes (who you are)
Oh, who you are brings heaven here
Yeah
Here I am, I'm reachin' out
I need you always, oh, I need you now
My hope is found in your embrace
Hand in hand until we stand face to face
Hand in hand until we stand face to face
Hand in hand 'til we stand face to face
