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 the weight of the world's pushing down on my back
I don't know where I'm going, I don't know where I'm at
When I'm lo, lo, lo, lo, lonely
It's like I hardly know me
When I'm dreading the day, when I'm losing my brave
When I'm talking in circles, somehow you find a way
When I'm lo, lo, lo, lo, lonely
You're the only one who knows me
You lift me
You lift me
Oh, you lift me up
Yeah, you lift me up
When my head's in the clouds with no feet on the ground
You're the anchor I need, you're the up to my down
When I'm lo, lo, lo, lo, lonely
You're always there to show me
You sit down and you listen, not a thing's not forgiven
Yeah, you know my whole story, anyway that I spin it
When I'm lo, lo, lo, lo, lonely
You're the only one who knows me
You lift me
You lift me
Oh, you lift me up
Yeah, you lift me up
You lift me
You lift me
Oh, you lift me up
Yeah, you lift me up
Oh, oh, you'll never leave me low, oh
You'll never let me go
I hope you know
I hope you know
(Oh, you lift me up)
(Yeah, you lift me up)
You lift me
You lift me
Oh, you lift me up
Yeah, you lift me up
You lift me
You lift me
Oh, you lift me up
Yeah, you lift me up
