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.
Black crow laughing on a fenced porch
Far as I can tell
There gotta be something behind me
Lord, cause I feel I'm doing well
I ain't been staying up late
Making folks wait like I've done before
For me to get on track
Make up for what I lack
Black crow, I ain't a joke no more
Cold, cold empty home
What's a man to do when he ain't got no dough?
And his door's been kicked in
By the damn tax man two days ago
Well, he gets a case of the fools
Wants to break all the rules
So he pulls out his gun
Corner store's a good aim
To make a little change
But it's a shame to blame an innocent one
Lord, I can feel them spirits pulling me down
And a hundred and ten in the pin
Is a long time when you did no crime
They got the wrong man on that chain
A hundred and ten in the shade
I'm a different man
I guess I'll say old crow
It is funny how it goes
I do confess
What good is freedom outside these walls
If you're living dead
I'm gonna pay my dues
Make up no excuse like I did before
Make it right with the lord
I told the sheriff so
Black crow I ain't a joke no more
