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.
What did I ever do for You that You should die for me?
And what did I ever give to You that You should live in me?
Now and forever and always true, His love has found a way.
As I was, I am, and always will be, will be
Be in my heart, be in my head,
Be in my soul tonight.
Live in my words, let it be said,
Live in my life tonight.
Pray that I never take in vain the Name I hold most dear.
His love is the very heart of me, cast out all doubt and fear.
Now and forever and always true,
His love has found a way.
As I was, I am, and always will be, will be
Be in my heart, be in my head,
Be in my soul tonight.
Live in my words, let it be said,
Live in my life tonight.
Tonight we shall sweetly sleep,
Tonight, by still waters deep,
Tonight, for my soul to keep,
Still waters, still waters, still waters.
Now and forever and always true,
His love has found a way.
As I was, I am, and always will be, will be
Be in my heart, be in my head,
Be in my soul tonight.
Live in my words, let it be said,
Live in my life tonight.
