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.
The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The lord is my salvation
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun, the lord is my salvation
Who is like the lord our God? Strong to save
Faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The lord is my salvation
My hope is hidden in the lord
He flowers each promise of his word
When winter fades, I know spring will come
The lord is my salvation
Who is like the lord our God? Strong to save
Faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The lord is my salvation
Glory be to God the father, glory be to God the son
Glory be to God the spirit, the lord is our salvation
Who is like the lord our God? Strong to save
Faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The lord is my salvation
The lord is our salvation, the lord is my salvation
