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 blessing of the father, gift of grace and love
The promise of the savior for power from above
Oh, wondrous gift that’s given for confidence and mission
Holy spirit, you make all things new
Spirit of God, breathe on me now
Source of life, come, revive my weary heart
Spirit of God, shine on me now
Light of life, come, ignite my longing heart
Come and lift the dark clouds of doubt and unbelief
Shine upon my soul now, for by your rays I see
Clearer, closer, deeper the love of my redeemer
Holy spirit, you make all things new
Where you breathe hope thrives
The dead return to life
And the dark must flee the breaking day
By your light I see the glory of my king
Beholding him I will be changed
