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.
I've got so much to thank God for
So many wonderful blessings
And so many open doors
A brand new mercy along with each new day
That's why I praise You, and for this I give You praise
For waking me up this morning, (that's why I praise You)
For starting me on my way, (that's why I praise You)
For letting me see the sunshine, (that's why I praise You)
Of a brand new day (oh)
A brand new mercy (that's why I praise You)
Along with each new day
(That's why I praise You, for this I give You praise)
You're Jehovah Jireh (that's why I praise You)
You've been my provider (that's why I praise You)
So many times You met my needs (that's why I praise You)
So many times You rescued me (oh)
I wanna thank You for the blessings (that's why I praise You)
You give to me each day
(That's why I praise You, for this I give You praise)
For every mountain You've brought me over
For every trial You've seen me through
For every blessing, hallelujah
For this I give You praise
