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.
Chorus 1 (2x):
Don't wait
'Till the battle is over
To shout now
You know in the end
You're gonna win
When you're burdened down
With the cares of life
And you feel
All hope is gone
Don't despair
God will be right there
When the battle is over'
Chorus 2:
When the battle is over (3x)
We're going home
When the tears
Are streaming down
And there's no one around
And your striving
Seems in vain
Hold your head up high
Your deliverence is nigh'
When the battle is over'
Bridge
Hallelujah (5x)
