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 sleep was shattered by blinding light
High and lifted up upon his throne
Was the great I am and me alone
Jehova's glory was all about
All heaven shook with the angel shout
"Three times holy is this God of might"
Here am I, send me
Here am I, take me
Here am I, use me
Here am I, spend me
Send me, take me, use me, spend me
I am not my own
His righteousness screams that I have sinned
Holy conviction rips me apart
A coal from the fire burns through to my heart
Clean was I by the holy king´s choice
Then all was still except for his voice
"Who will go for us? Whom shall I send"
Here am I, send me
Here am I, take me
Here am I, use me
Here am I, spend me
Send me, take me, use me, spend me
I am not my own
Here am I, send me
Here am I, take me
Here am I, use me
Here am I, spend me
Send me, take me, use me, spend me
I am not my own
Here am I, send me
Here am I, take me
Here am I, use me
Here am I, spend me
Send me, take me, use me, spend me
I am not my own
Here am I!
