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.
You have been our dwelling place
A rock amidst the waves
Though everything around us shakes
Your truth will still remain
Our anchor forever
Lord, You will never change
You will never change
From everlasting You are God
Your love forever will endure forever
Your promises are sure
To everlasting You are God
Our lives are like a passing dream
A thought that soon is gone
With all our strength we cling to You
Our rock, steadfast and true
Our refuge forever
Teach us to number here
Our momentary years
From all eternity
You were and will always be
