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.
My lord and i;
We're gonna' walk and tell the story, children,
My lord and i;
When i come to the river, wide,
The blessed lord is gonna'
Calm the tide,
We're gonna' walk this road to glory, (children)
My lord and i
(repeat)
We're gonna' walk this road to glory, children,
My lord and i;
We're gonna' walk and tell the story, children,
My lord and i;
Rain or shine, snow or sleet,
Blessed lord, guide my feet
We're gonna' walk this road to glory, (children)
My lord and i
Such is my consolation;
Burdens out of the way.
The holy spirit guides me
As i travel day by day.
I just pull into the station
And i get a full supply.
We're gonna' walk this road to glory, (children)
My lord and i
Well, we're gonna'
Walk and talk all the way to glory,
Walk and tell the blessed old story,
Walk and talk all the way to glory,
My lord and i.
When i come to the river, wide,
The blessed lord is gonna'
Calm the tide.
We're gonna' walk this road to glory, (children)
My lord and i
(repeat)
