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.
In wonder of the God who saves
Each morning I sing the same
Of lavished grace on grace each day
You took the place of me
My mind cannot behold the thought
The son of God hung from the cross
All the while he bled out love
You look the place of me
Lift us a song to the one whose name is love
Drenched from redemptive blood my eyes look up
How can I, how can I, how can I
Thank you enough
I rise to when he calls my name
Each morning he will stay the same
Reminding me what changed my fate
You took the place of me
