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.
Verse 1:
The sweetest sound, i've ever heard
The sound of heaven calling out, to me
Pre-chorus:
Before i ever called your name
You gave your life for me
And all the things i'd ever do
You took upon the cross
Chorus:
You took the weight of the world on your shoulders x2
You did it all for me x2
Verse 2:
The greatest love i've ever known
That you would give your life to set me free
Pre-chorus 2:
Before i ever called your name
You paid the price for me
And all the things i'd ever do
You bought a covering
Chorus:
You took the weight of the world on your shoulders x2
You did it all for me x2
Verse 3:
You take me as i am
Into your new scarred hands
And when i run so far away
You always call me back again
Into your open arms
Not matter what ive done
Amazing grace has found me here
Because of what you've done, for me
Chorus:
You took the weight of the world on your shoulders x2
You did it all for me x2
