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.
Sorrow in my heart
Fear flows through my vein
My body dies from within
Your burning scar will remain
Branded deep in flesh
Piercing right to the bone
Your voice screams in my head
Why don't you leave me alone
I am I am
Gutterboy
Well it was hard to accept that you would leave me to die
When I never received the love you said you supply
And I still can believe you ever said that you cared
While I lie broke and cold on the street of despair
