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.
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen one
Bring many son's to glory
I was a wretch, but then You saved me
I was a wretch, but then You saved me
Then You set me free
Then You set me free
Behold the man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
I was a wretch, but then You saved me
I was a wretch, but then You saved me
Then You set me free
Then You set me free
