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.
When my life is tempest tossed
When the ground quakes under me
When it seems all hope is lost
You're the rock under my feet
I will not fear though the earth gives way
Or mountains fall into the sea
Though waters rise and the ground it shakes
You are holding me
When I feel the wind and waves
When I'm pulled by the tide of doubt
When it seems I can't be saved
You're the hand that can pull me out
I will not fear though the earth gives way
Or mountains fall into the sea
Though waters rise and the ground it shakes
You are holding me
Though the waters rise
You are higher
Though my faith grows weak
You are greater still
Though the waters rise
You are higher
Though my faith grows weak
You are greater still
Though the waters rise
You are higher
Though my faith grows weak
You are greater still
Though the waters rise
You are higher
Though my faith grows weak
You are greater still
Greater still
I will not fear though the earth gives way
Or mountains fall into the sea
Though waters rise and the ground it shakes
You are holding me
