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.
Lifeboat
When I am scared, You are my Father
When I can't breathe, You are the air
When I can't swim, You are a lifeboat
When I'm tired and weary, You are there
And my times get high, my times get low
You always let me in on all that You know
I could give You time alone and then
You'd only come and ask me
Where have you been?
When I am weak, You are my shoulders
When I'm poor, You give me a hand
When I can't swim, You are my lifeboat
You carry me to dry land
When I'm not sure, You are my maker
Speaking words that keep me aware
When I can't swim, You are a lifeboat
When I'm tired and weary, You are there
