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 wanna feel the strength David felt
with a rag and a rock, knowing that he couldn’t fail
And I wanna trust that would lead me up a hill
To give my only son, if I knew it was Your will
I want a faith like that, God give me faith like that
To speak your word and mountains move
To reach beyond all I can do
Cause your doing things I cannot see
So I’m gonna trust you and believe
You are all I need, give me faith
When my heart’s about to break
Don’t know how much I can take
And my soul is like a ship, overtaken by the waves
I need the courage to walk on the water and be strong
Like Peter in the storm until I fall into your arms
I want a faith like that, God give me faith like that
I believe you’re strong enough to save
I believe every promise you’ve made
And when I just don’t understand
you hold my world inside your hands
I’ll speak your word and mountains move
I’ll reach beyond all I can do
Cause your doing things I cannot see
So I’m gonna trust you and believe
You are all I need, give me faith
