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.
If You don't build it, we labor in vain
Without Your Spirit, we stand with no strength
I know my life is passing away
But the works of Your hands are what will remain
Let the favor of the Lord rest upon us
O Lord, establish the work of our hands
O Lord, establish the work of our hands
Teach us to number the length of our days
Pour out Your power, we'll pour out Your praise
Teach us to run, to finish the race
For only what's done in love will remain
Let the favor of the Lord rest upon us
O Lord, establish the work of our hands
O Lord, establish the work of our hands
O Lord, establish the work of our hands
O Lord, establish the work of our hands
