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.
There's a shadow coming
As the sky goes black
It's a stubborn rain
On a Nebraska plain
There's a farmer standing
On a thirsty ground
He holds his breath
This is life or death
It's only water
And it washes over me
Like a single river stone
Changes everything
But has no power on its own
It's only water
There's a winding canyon
Where a mountain stood
Miles of earth and clay
Carried far away
But there's something holy
In these cathedral walls
They took a lot of years
And a lot of tears
It's only water
There once was a wedding
All the wine was gone
They said He's just a man
That's where it all began
It was only water
