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.
By his stripes we are healed
By his nail pierced hands we're free
By his blood, we're washed clean
Now we have the victory
The power of sin is broken
Jesus overcame it all
He has won our freedom
Jesus has won it all
Hallelujah
You have won the victory
Hallelujah
You have won it all for me!
Death could not hold you down
You are the risen king
Seated in majesty
You are the risen king
Our God is risen, he is alive
He won the victory, he reigns on high
