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.
[verse 1]
My eyes would say
That we've seen better days
And they cry
It's hard to stay
When I could run away
And close my eyes
[chorus]
But when there's no tomorrow
You're telling me it's alright
And when I feel sorrow
You're telling me it's alright
[verse 2]
There's so much to take
Feels like my heart could break
At any time
So invade this place
With Your lovely grace
So divine
[bridge]
(Ah, it's hard to stay)
(when I could run away)
