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 once was lost, I walked away
The road was dark, I could not see
My hope was gone, the pain was real
But your mercy
You saw my steps, You felt my fears
You heard my cries, You caught my tears
Arms open wide, You ran to me
With Your mercy
Your mercy, Your mercy
I stand before my King, and bow my heart to sing
You save me, You raise me
You died so I could live, no greater love than this
Your mercy
You gave me life beyond the grave
My deepest shame is cast away
You sing a song that covers me
It's your mercy
Your mercy, Your mercy
I stand before my King, and bow my heart to sing
You save me, You raise me
You died so I could live, no greater love than this
Your mercy, Your mercy
Your loving kindness leads me to repentance
Your loving kindness leads me to repentance
Lord, let your kindness lead us to repentance
Lord, let your kindness lead us to repentance
Your mercy, Your mercy
I stand before my King, and bow my heart to sing
You save me, You raise me
You died so I could live, no greater love than this
Your mercy, Your mercy
