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.
Shadowlands Rebecca St. James
You promised me
That You'd never leave
Or let me go
You promised me
That You'd love me through
The highs and lows
You promised me
You won't give me more
Than I can bear
You promised me
That when I cry out
That You'd be there
The shadowlands are what I know
So I'm hanging on to Your every word
The shadowlands surround me now
But You walk with me through the cloud
Into the sun
Into the sun
You promised me
If I sow in tears
I'll reap in joy
You promised me
That You will breathe life
Into my soul
I know it's true
All that You say
I believe in You
And I am standing on
The promises You've made
You promised me and I believe
