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:]
He is mighty as a mountain.
He is wider than the river.
He is deeper than the ocean, Jesus is His name.
He is strength when there is weakness.
He is joy when there is sorrow,
He is food for souls of the hungry, Jesus is His name.
[Chorus:]
Jesus, Jesus is His name,
every, every day the same;
yesterday and forevermore, Jesus is His name.
[Verse 2:]
He is lily of the valley,
He is bright and morning star.
He is the Rose of Sharon, Jesus is His name.
He is Alpha and Omega,
He is the beginning and the end.
He is the first and the last, Jesus is His name.
[Chorus]
[Vamp 1:]
Jesus, Jesus is His name.
Jesus, Jesus is His name.
[Vamp 2:]
Healing, healing in His name.
Healing, healing in His name.
[Vamp 3:]
Joy, joy in His name.
Joy, joy in His name.
[Vamp 4:]
Power, power in His name.
Power, power in His name.
[Ending:]
Yesterday and forevermore, Jesus is His name.
