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.
Sometimes I'd come home
After playin' with the bands
I'd walk into the church
With my heart held in my hands
The Lord said "Welcome home"
I felt accepted and received
I walked the aisle alone
as the people all would sing…
And I know, yes I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
For years I had no peace
Every day was filled with dread
I wished that I could sleep
And awake when I was dead
And so I prayed to God in the midst of all my shame
Take this wasted life and wash away my pain
And I know, yes I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
And I know, yes I know
Jesus' blood can make the vilest sinner clean
