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.
Everyone minds their own business
But nobody's watching the store
Everyone's playing their own game
But very few know the score
No replacing the time we're wasting
So attitudes had better improve
When the ways of the world make your little light flicker
Priorities will quickly be moved
You're never too safe to feel the fire
Everyone feels the heat
You'll never be too safe to feel the fire
Until your perfection's complete
Carnage on the corporate ladder
Bite and scratch like cats in the night
The camel's getting fatter and fatter
The needle's eye is tighter than tight
I'm not saying you shouldn't be playing
Everyone has got to pay dues
But if gaining the world makes your little light flicker
The winner will eventually loose
No time for endless division
No time for sowing bad seed
Consider the unfaithful servant
No time for letting things be
No replacing the time we're wasting
So attitudes had better improve
When the ways of the world make your little light flicker
Priorities will quickly be moved
