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.
One day I was seeking lifes treasure
That money couldn't buy
Now I know my wealth is in glory
With Jesus, on high
I'm longing for the day that is coming
When Jesus shall gather us whole
To a land where children are playing
Forever on streets of your gold
Where troubles and trials are over
The tears of our mothers are gone
Today I'm looking for Jesus
And longing for my Heavenly home
I own my blesses to Jesus
He suffer on
When I go through the gates of that city
I praise him for dying for me
I'm longing for the day that is coming
When Jesus shall gather us whole
To a land where children are playing
Forever on streets of your gold
Where troubles and trials are over
The tears of our mothers are gone
Today I'm looking for Jesus
And longing for my Heavenly home
