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.
Forgive my foolish ways
I have been wandering for quite a few days
Turning my face from the truths that you say
I know it's wrong but I still run away
Forgive my foolish ways
I have been crying for quite a few days
Got in a pit, oh, and I'm sinking low
Ooh, I forget you are there with me though
Trying to find a way to hide, I waste all my time
You are with me always
Ooh, I find every time, you're so patient with me
I run and hide in my doubt that you'll forgive me
I'm surprised every time, at how you come through
When will I work it out, it's your nature to pursue
And you patiently pursue
