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:]
I come that you might have life more abundantly.
I come that you might have life through eternity.
I've not come to condemn the world
or shame you for your wrongs,
I have come to heal the brokenhearted,
and to give your heart a song.
[Chorus 1:]
I've come to give you life,
I've come to give you joy,
I've come to give you life more abundantly,
more abundantly.
[Chorus 2:]
I've come to give you life,
I've come to give you joy.
I've come to give you life,
I've come to give you joy.
I've come to give you life,
I've come to give you joy...
[Vamp 1:]
Joy.
[Vamp 2:]
Joy, joy.
[Vamp 3:]
Joy, joy, joy.
[Chorus 1]
