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'm waiting,
for a shiny new life when I leave the old.
I'm tired,
and it's hard to go on when the world goes cold.
I hunger,
for a different place He prepares for me.
I wander,
like a rudderless boat on a hostile sea.
Chorus
Deep in the darkness calling me,
out to a brand new day.
I don't want to be left in the back street.
Pinned down and hidden from the light of day.
I don't want to be sitting on the curb
when I yearn to speed down a distant highway.
I wonder,
will the world ever see what you've done for them?
I travel,
down the lines on a map with an urgent mission.
I hunger,
for a glorious place He prepares for me.
I wander,
like a rudderless boat on a hostile sea.
2nd Chorus
Deep in the darkness calling me
out to a brand new day
I don't want to exchange what You gave me,
for the worlds nihilistic ways.
I fight the fear and I cry, Lord save me!
Put me back on the narrow highway!
I don't want to be left on the back street.
Pinned down and hidden from the light of day.
I don't want to be sitting on the curb
when I yearn to speed down a distant highway.
