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.
Time, it's flown by
But your ageing face is burnt in my mind
Your smile, misguiding voice
Those fairytales life's been to kind
Oh, I understand what you've been through
And I have all the time
I'm the only one to pity you
I walked in to this blind
More fool me
I stumbled in with my eyes closed
More fool you
It took years to see through you
How well you have done
Be proud, my loyal friend
Those stepping stones
They'll soak your lying feet
But I won't watch you drown
Oh, I understand what you've been through
And now I have no time
I'm the only one to pity you
You pulled the wood over my eyes
More fool me
I stumbled in with my eyes closed
More fool you
It took years to see through you
