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.
Painter of skies, maker of stars
Holder of seas and all our hearts
Artist of life, Father of lights
When I'm with You my soul ignites
You see my sin but love me the same
Breathe on my hurt and raise me again
Up from the ash, up from the dust
You're recreating us
I will not waste this day You've made
I will be glad
Rejoice, rejoice
In the sunshine, in the sorrow
Oh, my soul rejoice
How can it be, You know my name
Tamer of storms who calms the waves
How can it be, I can't explain
Why You carry me and all my shame
You take my sin and all of the mess
As far as the east is from the west
Everything changed, I stand amazed
My every breath is grace
I will not waste this day You've made
I will be glad
Rejoice, rejoice
In the sunshine, in the sorrow
Oh, my soul rejoice
Rejoice, rejoice
In the trial, in the trouble
Oh, my soul rejoice
Life is beautiful, You are the colour
Life is wonderful, You are the wonder
Life is beautiful, You are the colour
Life is wonderful, You are the wonder
Life is beautiful!
