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.
Through deserts wide and oceans deep
When troubles pressed us to our knees
You remain, through everything
The song we sing
You are good
You are good
Your love is great
Your love endures
Through everything
Our hearts are sure
You are good
Forever good
Through every dark, uncertain day
Though fears arise, we’re not afraid
You never change through all eternity
It’s who you are
It’s why we sing
From generation, to generation
You’ve been our hope lord
And our salvation
We say with heaven and all creation
We’re not alone here, we’re not forsaken
