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.
God You know, my heart is divided
And my lips have worshipped many idols
You seem so far, while I need You to be close
And my doubts are at war with what I used to know
But for me, it is good to be near You
I have made the Sovereign God my refuge
I will tell of all that You've done for me
How you cleansed and set me free
It is good to be near You
You've welcomed me home like I've never gone astray
The orphan child has found a family
I give in to Your kindness and I melt in Your embrace
In You, my past meets grace, grace, grace
In You, my past meets grace grace grace
But for me, it is good to be near You
I have made the Sovereign God my refuge
I will tell of all that You've done for me
How you cleansed and set me free
It is good to be near You
