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.
I have tried in great detail to earn your love
But always failed to find you
The love that I had tried to earn
Was a gift that I soon learned was yours to give
So I lay myself down - took in your grace
And now am found - inside you
Covered by your love
Covered by your blood
Covered by your righteousness
I'm covered by you
Now that I'm found I will stay
Your love it carries me each day and surrounds me
Lord all I want to say is I look forward
To the day I can see your face
So I lay myself down
And in your rest I now am found
Inside you
