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.
We lay down our burdens, surrender our pride
We battle these worries, confess ev'ry lie
We cast off our anger, we fight through these fears
We cry out for freedom, oh Lord, draw us near
To the cross I come, to the cross I come
Just as I am without one plea, I know Your blood was shed for me
Oh, Lamb of God, oh Lord I come to the cross
Despised and rejected, You carried our pain
Traded strength for our weakness, Your glory for shame
No grave could contain You, no rival too strong
Our hope resurrected, Your love conquered all
Just as I am, oh spotless Lamb, I come to Thee
To the cross I come, to the cross I come
To the cross I come, to the cross I come
Just as I am without one plea, I know Your blood was shed for me
Oh, Lamb of God,oh Lord, I come to the cross
Just as I am without one plea
I know Your blood was shed for me
Oh, Lamb of God, oh Lord, I come to the cross
