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 peeping tom in the eye of God's house
Shooting insulin as quiet as a church mouse
Tried to clean his bones from a sulfer well
Turned his head couldn't stand the smell
Hey, hey!
A thrill a minute
A thrill a minute, baby
A thrill a minute
A thrill a minute
Life size crucifix was stolen from the wall
The organist played amazing grace for them all
Hooker in a red skirt testified and repented
While the deacons passed a snake, stared and squinted
Hey, hey!
A thrill a minute
A thrill a minute, baby
A thrill a minute
A thrill a minute
Paper taxis full of eyes
Chocolate pulpits racing by
Floating boardwalks and candycanes
Cashmere penguins with see through wings
Someone had a spirit, ran up and down the aisle
When the shouting stopped, the choir lay in a pile
Bell ringer pulled the rope and was lifted off his feet
Pastor disrobed, took the money to the street
Hey, hey
A thrill a minute
A thrill a minute, baby
A thrill a minute
A thrill a minute
