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 wish I had something more to give you
You’ve been feeling bad this time of year
If I could I would drive out to see you
Things are finally looking up for me this time
Take it from me, I’d be lost without you
I try to run away, but you’re running up on me faster, and I
I could barely breathe, I couldn’t even turn around
I only hope we make it home
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
If I had a dime, for the days I’ve spent
Just trying to unwind, sitting on the steps
I’d buy a star in your name, like I heard on the radio
I would buy a brand new house, where we can go
Take it from me, I’d be lost without you
I try to run away, but you’re running up on me faster, and I
I could barely breathe, I couldn’t even turn around
I only hope we make it home
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
If I had one wish, I would give it up
To be standing here, just like this, up on the rooftop
But it’s so hard to look down, when I see your face
There’s no more time to spend, no time to waste
Take it from me I’d be lost without you
I try to run away, but you’re running up on me faster and I
I could barely breathe, I couldn’t even turn around
I only hope we make it home
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
