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 awoke from a dream to the sound of fluttering wings.
A flock of ghosts on the lawn,
Travelling south for the winter i suppose.
They're lost trying to leave this icy winterland frost,
But there's no way to escape everything.
There's an angel up in a tree,
And she won't come down.
She's afraid that she might fall
Into the arms of a fireman
And she will lose her soul.
Sometimes they don't know when to let go,
But there's no way to escape everything.
