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.
[Chorus:]
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely you won't forsake the ones who seek your face
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
[Verse:]
In his presence is fullness of joy and laughter
He rejoices over us with singing we are changed
As we welcome the heart of the Master
And the heavenlies are ringing out with praise
In one accord
Praise praise to the Lord
Oh oh oh
