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.
Where the body is the eagles will gather
Lift me up and give me your strength
To fly across the great divide
The promised land is just over on the other side
Once there was a promise, now there is hope
Restore the righteous thirst of my soul
A river ran which touched both sides
Brought healing and restored from the ground to the sky
I ain't coming down
I ain't coming down
I mounted wings from the bright morning star
Let the wind lift me from my feet
No resistance, nothing clouding my eye
No greater feeling than the freedom to fly
I ain't coming down
I ain't coming down
Look down in the valley below
With your word be justified
I see a place where it never rains
The old footprints still remain
I ain't coming down
I ain't coming down
I ain't coming down
I ain't coming down
