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.
O living word; please come and dwell in us
Lord wipe away, these tears
O ancient son; so long foretold
We're desperate souls, draw near
And we will stand,
Securely in the strength of the lord
Every heart will surely come and adore
The great I am
Our shepherd king; please come and dwell with us
To fields of grace; lead on
And we will stand,
Securely in the strength of the lord
Every heart will surely come and adore
The great I am
We need you now
Break our chains by your glory and power
Make us captive to the holy desire
Come to us o lord
Come to us o lord
Prince of peace, emmanuel
Lord draw us close, unto thyself
King of kings, god's chosen one
We need you now; to thee we run
And we will stand,
Securely in the strength of the lord
Every heart will surely come and adore
The great I am
We need you now
Break our chains by your glory and power
Make us captive to the holy desire
Come to us o lord
Come to us o lord
