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.
You saved me from my destruction,
You turned my feet from death,
You lifted me with Your kindness,
You filled me with Your breathe.
How can I thank You?
What can I bring?
I will sand and worship You,
For everything You are to me.
I will lift my voice in praise,
For all the wonders You displayed.
I will stand,
I will stand and worship You.
You draw me with tender mercies,
You hold me in Your grace.
So I will fall down in reverence,
At the mystery of Your ways.
In the middle of the congregation,
I will lift my voice and sing that,
You good.
In the midst of every situation,
I will make this declaration that,
You are good.
