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.
When my hope in lost and my strength is gone
I run to you, and you alone
When I can’t get up, and I can’t go on
I run to you, and you alone
Cause you’re my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
Alleluia, my almighty God divine
Alleluia, I am yours and you are mine
This is all I know how to say
Alleluia, Alleluia
You’re my everything
When i’m plagued with pain, and filled with fear
I run to you, and you alone
When my days are few, and death is near
I run to you, and you alone
Cause you’re my light in the dark
And I sing with all of my heart
Alleluia, my almighty God divine
Alleluia, I am yours and you are mine
This is all I know how to say
Alleluia, Alleluia
When trouble comes and goes
And when the cold wind blows
I lift my hands up
I lift my hands up
When sorrow knocks me down
And you pick me off the ground
I lift my hands up
I lift my hands up
And I sing …
Alleluia, my almighty God divine
Alleluia, I am yours and you are mine
This is all I know how to say
Alleluia, by the grace of God above
Alleluia, I shine a light cause I am loved
This is all I know how to say
Alleluia, Alleluia
This is all I know how to say
Alleluia, Alleluia
You’re my everything
Oh-oh, you’re my everything
