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.
Shalom shalom Jerusalém
Peace be to you
When Messiah comes
To take us home
May His praise
Be found in you
Pray for peace Jerusalem
City of our God
There salvation was
Poured out for you
The atoning of the Lord
Once your streets
Filled with joy
Branches raised up high
Shouting blessed be the Holy One
Yeshua T'Adonai
Israel beloved Ephraim my son
How my heart would
Thril to hear you say
The Messiah has come
O my brothers hear these words
May they pierce your soul
Turn again to worship Adonai
Messiah you will know
