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.
There was time when I was looking for something real hard
I'm not quite sure what it was, but I think…
I think it was peace with God
What I longed for were bluer skies
Somethin' to fill the emptiness deep inside
Just when my life seemed to unravel again
I knew I was fallin' I needed a friend
I wasn't lookin' for a love so real
I never thought I could reach the sky
Then when I least expected a reason why
To my surprise
I better stay focused on what's gonna last
The Lamb of God erased the sins of my past
If I just lock into Jesus each day
He promised to help me and carry the weight
And now that I know he paid for my sin
I'm washed in his blood, this new life begins
I wasn't lookin' for a love so real
I never thought I could reach the sky
Then when I least expected a reason why
To my surprise
No, I never expected to know the most high
To lose the weight of my sins so I could fly so high
I wasn't lookin' for a love so real
I never thought I could reach the sky
Then when I least expected a reason why
To my surprise
I wasn't lookin' for a love so real
I never thought I could reach the sky
Then when I least expected a reason why
To my surprise
You opened my eyes
Oh what a surprise
You opened, you opened, you opened my eyes
To my surprise
