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.
In my dreams I have seen beyond
In my dreams I have seen what I am coming from
Visions of my eternity
Visions of a celestial holy city
Twelve gates of Jerusalem
Twelve angels surround the wall
Only one way leads inside the gates
Only one way prepared for us all
I have seen New Jerusalem
Glorius, the New Jerusalem
Behold, the world of corruption has passed away
Out of the ashes below me I rise
Into the city of new life, the power, the way
ascending into paradise
By the grace of the Holy One
I am free from this world of desolation
Free from greed, lust and selfishness
To nevermore be a slave to this wicked flesh
By the ultimate sacrifice
I'm alive, yet transcend this life
From this old world of death burning down
Now I walk through the ashes unto holy ground
I have seen New Jerusalem
Glorius, the New Jerusalem
Behold, the world of corruption has passed away
Out of the ashes below me I rise
Into the city of new life, the power, the way
ascending into paradise
