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.
Pierced for my transgressions
Wounded for my sins
This man of sorrows came to take my place
King over creation
Slain for my salvation
Unspeakable love, abounding grace
Now I am coming to this holy place
I am drawing near to seek your face
Jesus, your blood has made my hands clean
So I will not hide my face from you
You have won the victory
You have paid the cost
While I was still in sin you died for me
Carrying my sorrows
Lifting off my shame
Bearing all my sin to set me free
I will ascend the hill of the lord
‘Cause you have rescued me
