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.
When my heart
Is torn asunder
And my world
Just falls apart
Lord you put
Me back together
And lift me up
To where you are
There is hope
Beyond the suffering
Joy beyond the tears
Peace in every tragedy
Love that conquers fear
I have found redemption
In the blood of christ
My body might be dying
But I'll always be alive
You have turned
Mourning to dancing
You have covered me with grace
The struggle here
May last a moment
But life with you
Will last always
There is hope
Beyond the suffering
Joy beyond the tears
Peace in every tragedy
Love that conquers fear
I have found redemption
In the blood of christ
My body might be dying
But I'll always be alive
When the age
Of death is over
And this world
Has been reborn
I'll be there
Beside my savior
This is our grace
And rich reward
There is hope
Beyond the suffering
Joy beyond the tears
Peace in every tragedy
Love that conquers fear
I have found redemption
In the blood of christ
My body might be dying
But I'll always be alive
