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.
Oh God, you are my God
I am seeking you like sunny days in winter months
My soul is thirsty for you, my body longs for you
In a dry and weary land, where thereʼs no water prechorus
I have seen you in the sanctuary
I have seen your power and glory
Because your love is so much better than my life
My lips will glorify you
I will praise you as long as I live
I will praise you as long as I live
I will praise you as long as I live
All day I think of you
In my bed at night, I cannot help but think of you
Because you are my help, my soul clings to you
And youʼre the only thing that holds me up
