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.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
Forgive me lord for I have sinned
Have mercy on the shape I'm in
And if I've fallen from your grace
Help me lord to find my place
I'm in a storm with no way out
The waters rough
I'm tossed about
I know that there's blue sky above
It's in your mercy and your love
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light
Take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day
This I pray
I crossed a bridge
And lost my way
For years and years
I've gone astray
And if I live another day
I pray the lord to guide my way
I need a savior
Here and now
I know I'm sinking
Yet, somehow
I'm reaching for some final peace
Before my time begins to cease
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light
Take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day
This I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take
