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.
My life is like a canvas
And on most days I do my best
To fill it in with my mess
Til' your image can't be seen
How I love self-centered sketches
Painting my ways to the edges
But I think what I like best is
How it looks so much like me
No more now
I'm laying my colors down
Til my picture fades away
Chorus
I am coming clean
I am offering
Every space in me for you to fill
And I am coming clean
I am promising
If you'll write on me your perfect will
Then I'll be a blank page
Maybe my life's like a story
That was written for your glory
But I guess I found that boring
So I took your pen in hand
And I scribbled you a bit part
And I made myself the big star
But replacing you proves too hard
Guess I don't know how it ends
No more now
I'm laying my best plans down
My story fades away
Chorus
Make your masterpiece
Out of each day in me
I beg you, beg you
Where my plans have laid
Come write your better ways
I beg you, beg you
Lord I need you
