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.
All around the world people are trying.
Deserted souls cry to be filled.
Spirits left undone their hearts are hollow.
I can see, in their eyes, hollow lives.
And every heart, and every soul
and everybody's got a God-shaped hole.
You may have tried to fill that hole inside
with an empty hand you reached in vain.
Substitutes don't work, bandages only hurt.
The only thing that heals is the hand of God.
Nobody's meant to be left all alone.
Our lives are much too short
to have an empty soul.
