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.
(Chorus)
I waited
For the Lord on high
I waited
And He heard my cry
He pulled me out of my despair
He taught me how to walk
From fear into security
From quicksand to the Rock
Repeat Chorus
I sing to let the people know
That I have been restored
And they will kneel and understand
To return and trust in the Lord
Repeat Chorus
And there's a new song
In my heart to sing
There's a new song
Praises for my King
I waited
