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.
Humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord
He'll lift us up in due time
He's never late and He's never wrong
Able to save and destroy this is His song
Let no man say he's been tempted by God
There's no evil in him to tempt anyone
But we're all tempted when we're drawn away
By our own desires we give way
And I pray for a changed heart
To walk with you Lord, and never depart
And I pray for a changed heart
You grant me the grace for a new start
And when that desire has been conceived
It gives birth to our sinful disease
So lay aside all your filth and woes
And accept the holy word which saves our souls
Submit to God and the devil will flee
Change my heart so graciously
I humble myself in the sight of the Lord
Who's word is sharper than a double-edged sword
And I pray for a changed heart
To walk with you Lord, and never depart
And I pray for a changed heart
You grant me the grace for a new start
