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.
Just a singin' a gospel song today
Get a ready to send the years
Of guilt and shame away
The years of failing
The years of nailing up yourself
To a cross you can't bear
That's why He was there
What a beautiful day
When He washed all our sins away
What a beautiful day
By grace you have been saved
By grace you have been saved
By grace you have been saved
By grace through faith
Through faith
Even the faith I have to sing
Halle, halle, hallelujah to my King
It's freely given
That I might not boast in myself but Him
Can't sing it enough
Say it enough
Play it enough
When will I get it
I can't earn it
And no I don't deserve
Can't say it enough
