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.
Christ, be on my right, be on my left
Christ, be in my blood, be in my breath
Go before and come behind
Fill my ears, flood my eyes
Christ, be on my left, be on my right
Holy Lord, flood my heart
And make Your presence known
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
God, be in my words, be in my deeds
God, in my advance, in my retreat
Shield me in the midst of war
Spirit, come and be my sword
God, be in my deeds, be in my my words
Holy Lord, flood my heart
And make Your presence known
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
Spirit, be my strength and be my song
Spirit, guide my steps and lead me on
Until my days have reached their length
And You and I are face to face
Spirit, be my song, be my strength
Holy Lord, flood my heart
And make Your presence known
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
