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.
You were there in the void, at the sound of your voice
It all began, it all began
God of all knelt down, with a kiss to the ground
My heart became, my heart became
Oh, my soul rejoice,
Oh, my soul
How can I give you anything but everything
The universe is at your feet, to watch you count the stars
But still you call me, closer to your majesty
Closer to your heart, I’m running to your arms, oh, God of all
Oh, the stains on my hands, when I see who I am
I come undone, I come undone
But you broke open the sky, what a God who would die
To give me life, you gave me life
