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.
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are
In the arms of the Father
There is love like no other
He who formed all things
He offers love to me
Where You go we will follow
Through the dark through the narrow
And in all we do, yeah!
We are bound to You, Oh God!
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are
We are found in Your presence
Seeking You in Your fullness
Oh give us eyes to see, yes
That You are all we need, yes yes
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are, no, no
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are, no, no
My sole devotion
My only focus
To worship You (sing it out, sing it out)
My life surrendered
My heart abandoned
From all of You
My sole devotion
My only focus
To worship You (it's the cry of our heart)
My life surrendered
My heart abandoned
From all of You, oh, yeah!

My only focus
To worship You (it's the cry of our heart)
