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.
I was lost and could not see
That You did not give up on me
To save me from my guilt and shame
You stepped into the world You made
And on the cross of Calvary (ooh, ooh)
You gave Your life to set me free (ooh, ooh)
Forever I will sing Your name (ooh, ooh)
Hands high, heart full of praise (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
The King of glory once enthroned
Was laid to rest behind the stone
But death would not have final say (ooh, ooh)
Jesus, You rose from the grave
Now standing in Your victory
Your Spirit is alive in me
Forever I will sing Your name
Hands high, heart full of praise
Praise, oh-oh
Heart full of praise, ooh-ooh
After all is said and done
When after every race is won
I will see my Savior's face
Hands high, heart full of praise
For You are crowned the King of kings
And You are robed in majesty
Forever I will sing Your name
Oh, hands high, heart full of praise, yeah
Heart full of praise
And oh-oh-oh, oh
Hallelujah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hallelujah
All glory to Your name
Hallelujah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hallelujah
Hands high, heart full of praise
Hallelujah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hallelujah
All glory to Your name
Hallelujah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hallelujah
Hands high, heart full of praise
