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 can barely stand right now
Everything is crashing down
And I wonder where you are
I try to find the words to pray
I don't always know what to say
But you're the one who can hear my heart
Even though I don't know what your plan is
I know you're making beauty from these ashes
I've seen joy and I've seen pain
On my knees, I call your name
Here's my broken hallelujah
With nothing left to hold onto
I raise these empty hands to you
Here's my broken hallelujah
You know the things that have brought me here
You know the story of every tear
‘Cause you've been here from the very start
Even though I don't know what your plan is
I know you're making beauty from these ashes
When all is taken away, don't let my heart be changed
Let me always sing halleluja
When I feel afraid, don't let my hope be erased
Let me always sing hallelujah
