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.
Used to think you didn’t care
Was just a pawn in the game you were playin’
Puttin’ walls up everywhere
Never thought you heard a word I was prayin'
I stood in the way
When I needed to run to you
But I was too proud to say
Take away the blindness
Lead me through the dark
Don’t let me fall apart
Save me from my bitterness
Show me who I am
Make me who you want me to be
I know I pushed you away
Lookin’ for someone to blame
Now I can see I’ve been my own worst enemy
Now I can see I’ve been my own worst enemy
Who was I to sit and judge
Always pointing my crooked finger
Holdin’ tight onto a grudge
All along I was the chief of sinners
I stood in the way
When I needed to run to you
Lord, I was too proud to say
No you never gave up on me
(No you made a lamp unto my feet)
No you never gave up on me
