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.
Haven't You always loved me
Haven't You always cared
Why should I be anxious
Why should I despair
Haven't You been good
Written in the pages
Of my history
Story upon story
Of what You've done for me
Haven't You been good
Oh my Lord haven't You been good
Oh my Lord haven't You been good
Haven't You been faithful
Throughout the years
Hearing my petitions
Sharing my tears
Haven't You been good
The robin and the sparrow
Have taught me this truth
There's no need to worry
You've always come through
Haven't You been good
