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.
Just the other day I remember
I was walking home from school
Cutting through the corners of the fields
Dreaming of tomorrow
Youth was in my hands
I could breathe the mountains around me
Didn’t matter minutes or the miles
To me, it didn’t take but a while to find
If the road get hard
Lighten up the load
Set your sights up yonder boy
There’s love you’ve yet to hold
Gazing at the sun
Bit of a man now
But why am I here crying out for you
Wresting with reason for my lot
Haven’t I yet giving all I’ve got
Suddenly a sweet memory
A stored up prayer Grandma must have said
As I shook the tears came pouring out
And I heard a voice say in the wind
When I was tired I’d say
What’s the use of trying
What’s the using of trying anymore?
But now I understand it
I’ve never been this close to anyone
