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.
You give me water in a dry and thirsty land
You satisfy my hunger
Yo feed me from your hand
I was a wanderer in the wildnerness
Until I stumbled on your oasis
And I will stay here with you
Here in the shade, here in the cool
You keep me safe through the night in your oasis
You give your spirit
To a dry and thirsty heart
You satisfy my longing
I hear the voice of God
I was a wanderer in my emptiness
Until you brought me near your oasis
And I will stay here with you
Here in the shade, here in the cool
You keep me safe through the night in your oasis
And I will drink from your well
I find my peace here in your shelter
And I will stay here with you in your oasis
