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.
Verse:
Sweet sugar pumping through my veins
Everywhere is on a wire
Sweet sugar you say it's just a game
Soon to be your one desire
When the devil holds your hand
Then you know he's in command
Of temptation
Like the beauty of a rose
Or a summer that will go
Where's salavation
Chorus:
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Verse:
Sweet sugar your world just tumbles down
How you hunger for illusion
Sweet sugar will take more than you own
All you have is your confusion
You'll be standing in the rain
You'll be crying out in shame
For mercy
So you turn to every man
Say you need a helping hand
Don't desert me
Chorus:
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Bridge:
I don't know what I've done with my life
I don't know what to think of all this wasted time
I was in search of paradise
Yet this seems a heavy price to pay
Chorus:
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Won't you say a prayer
Say a little prayer, say a little prayer for me
Won't you say a prayer
Say a little prayer
Say a little prayer
