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 waited for the Lord
At last he looked
He bent down and pulled me out ohhhh
Of deep, deep mud
He stood me up on solid ground
Made this weak heart strong
He gave me a song to sing
Ohhhhh, it's rising now
Ohhhhh, it's rising now
I've got this new song in my mouth
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
Of my new life, I am found
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
He taught me how to sing
This rescue song
For everyone who's lost and lonely
It's rising now
Ohhhh, it's rising now
I've got this new song in my mouth
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
Of my new life, I am found
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
I've got this new song in my mouth
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
Of my new life, I am found
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
And it goes oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh
And it goes oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh
And it goes oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh
And it goes oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh
We've got this new song in our mouths
Can you hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
Of our new lives, we are found
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
We've got this new song in our mouths
Can you hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
Of our new lives, we are found
Can you, hear it now
It's pouring, it's pouring out
And it goes oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh
