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.
We don't need no burning crosses
Put out the fire of bigotry
We don't need to count our losses
When they bury you, they'll bury me
I have a dream that we can be united
It will only work when fears are subsided
By the sweat of my brow, I won't let it die
Freedom for our hearts is my battle cry
We're living in troubled times
We're living in troubled times
How could we be so blind
We're living in troubled times
Poor man begging at rich man's feet
He ears the crumbs off of the floor
We are starving for something to eat
We are whales upon the shore
There was a time we tore our country down
For all the same reasons that we fight for now
And if pride comes before a fall
Then why tell me why we tore down the wall
