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 the mountains of joy, in the valley of tears
I will love You, I will trust You
When the flame's burning bright, when I'm weary and dry
I will love You, I will trust You
You are my strength and You are my song
Giving me hope and guiding me on
At all times I will sing of Your greatness
At all times I will sing of Your love
At all times I will sing of Your faithfulness
For Your goodness remains
And Your love is the same
At all times
When your guidance is clear, when I can't see ahead
I will love You, I will trust You
In the summer of life, in the soul's darkest night
I will love You, I will trust You
You are my strength and You are my song,
Giving me hope and guiding me on
