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.
Before the throne of grace I come
Humble and repentant one
With sorrow for the deeds I've done
Before the throne of grace I come
Before the throne of grace I fall
With a trembling voice I call
For pardon from the Lord of all
Before the throne of grace I fall
I love the Lamb Who took my sin
Whose Mercy makes me clean again
Before the throne of grace I hear
Your debt is paid your name is clear
Such precious words of life so dear
Before the throne of grace I hear
I love the Lamb Who took my sin
Whose Mercy makes me clean again
I rise with words of grateful praise
Knowing now the only way
Before the throne of grace I stand
Is all because the Son of Man
Bears my wounds in His Feet and Hands
So before the throne of grace I stand
Before the throne of grace I stand
Before the throne of grace I stand
