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.
Though now we have trials
We wait for salvation
Though tested by fire
We suffer with joy
By his great mercy
Our hope has been born again
Faithful as the morning
We are raised up with Christ
And I cannot see him
But oh how I love him
I cannot see him, but I believe
I know he walks with me.
I believe, that he walks with me.
Raised up with the priesthood
To witness his wondrous works
Called out from the darkness
To shimmering light
