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.
In the morning when I rise
I'll be lifting your name high
You alone are worthy of my praise
In the evening when I lie
I'll be lifting your name high
You alone are worthy of my praise
You alone are worthy of everything
Through death and through life
We'll be lifting your name high
You alone are worthy of our praise
Through darkness and through life
We'll be lifting your name high
You alone are worthy of our praise
You alone are worthy of everything
I'm in awe
I'm in awe of you
