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.
Before I Tell Them
Lord, please tell me
Before I serve them
Lord, please serve me
How can I lead
Where I've not been
How can I show
If I don't know
Before I tell them
Lord, please tell me
Before I teach them
Lord, please teach me
Before I reach out to them
Lord, reach out to me
How can I lead
Where I've not been
How can I show
If I don't know
Before I tell them
Oh Lord, please tell me
Before I tell them my way
Sit me down and make me silent
And give it to me your way
Please don't let the things I do
Distract me from hearing a word from you
Before I tell them
Lord, tell me
Before I serve them
Please serve me
Before I say one word or sing one word
Say it or sing it in me
Before I tell them
Oh Lord, tell me
Teach me; show me; reach out to me;
Tell me
