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.
Hear Your words hear Your voice
Like the sound of rushing waters through my soul
In the company of mystery
I am lost I am found
In the whirlwind of my mind to comprehend
All the vastness of your beauty Lord
Please tell me in this holy fear that you are near me
In silence I will know that you will hear me Lord
(I cannot touch you
I cannot hold you
I cannot see you
But I know you)
Here I fall at your feet
Where my heart will lift its cries to be relieved from all the things that keep me from you Lord
My soul knows that one day
When this body and this mind have perished then
I will join in heaven's songs until then
