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.
Here is our chance to turn
From all our drunken feelings, angry words
This year I have been so bitter and
This year we've lost each other in ourselves
Mikhail, say I did my best
Here is our chance to turn
Mother, father, sister, brother, come together for each other and
Celebrate the mess and celebrate the rest
Turn it into understanding and
Turn it into understanding
Call our drunken angry uncle
(Import him on while ??) watching for snow
Fall and bid him welcome
Bid him welcome to our home
Redemption ringing in his lonely ears
Redemption ringing in his lonely ears
Redemption ringing in his lonely ears
Redemption ringing in his lonely ears
Celebrate our imperfections
Celebrate a new direction
Celebrate a resurrection
(Redemption ringing in his lonely ears)
Light a candle in the silent place and
Hang the wreath on the door
