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.
When my heart grows faint I cry to You
And I need a love this world won't do
You call me close and You calm my fears
Though I've grown far away
You draw me near
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I
Lead me to the waters that will satisfy
My soul it waits for You Lord
My soul it waits for You
For You, for You Lord
Lord break my heart in this wilderness
As I find in You all my righteousness
And I lift my eyes to Your mountain
Your mountain high
Let me hide in You, Lord
As You pass me by
You wash me, You cleanse me
You make me new again
You wash me, You cleanse me
You make me new
