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.
I cast my life like ashes on the waves
And leave behind all of my selfish ways
My past is gone, now all that's left is grace
To live is Christ, to die is gain
I have been crucified with Christ
It is no longer I who lives
But Christ lives in me
I have a second chance in life
My future's open wide
I know Christ lives in me
He lives in me!
My dreams I lay surrendered at the cross
My hands held high, my knees upon the dust
My choice is made, I've counted up the cost
To live is Christ, to die is gain
To live is Christ, to die is gain!
I'm pressing on, pressing on to Heaven
I've seen the power of Your resurrection
The Saviour of my soul, is Jesus Christ alone
I'm pressing on, pressing on to Heaven
I've seen the power of Your resurrection
The Saviour of my soul, is Jesus Christ alone!
It's You and You alone
He lives in me!
Christ lives in me
