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.
Lift up your heads, O you gates
Swing open wide you ancient doors
Let the King of kings
Take His rightful place,
Make room, make way
For the King of grace.
Lift up your hands
Open up your hearts
His vict'ry over sin
sin and death is ours.
Let the King of kings
take His rightful place,
Make room, make way
For our King of grace.
Who is this King of glory
Lord of pow'r?
His name is Jesus, our risen King.
Who is this King so mighty
Lord of strength?
His name is Jesus, our risen King.
Lift up your heads, O you gates
Swing open wide you ancient doors
Let the King of kings
Take His rightful place,
Make room, make way
For the King of grace.
