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 cannot make a world and hold it in my hands
I cannot make the lightening flash across the land
I cannot take a piece of clay and mold it into man
But I have a father, I have a father who can
Now he sits high and looks low and guides my feet where ever I go
When I don't understand I have a father, I have a father who can
I cannot make a cloud and ascend it in the ski
I cannot love humanity so much that I would dye
I cannot even name the stars or count the many grains of sand
Oh, but I have a father, a heavenly father who can
Now he sits high and looks low and guides my feet where ever I go
When I don't understand I have a father, I have a father who can
Now he sits high and looks low and guides my feet where ever I go
When I don't understand I have a father, I have a father
I have a father, I have a father who can
