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.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good
His love endures forever
He is my strength and He's my song
His love endures forever
I will proclaim what He has done
His love endures forever
I will enter and give thanks to Him
This holy gate the righteous may enter
I will give You thanks
You answered me, You are my salvation
This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day the Lord has made
