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.
I am sitting still, I think of Angelique
Her mother's voice over me
And the bullets in the war where it fell silent
On a thousandth hill,
I think of Albertine
There in her eyes what I don't see
With my eyes
Rwanda,
Now that I have seen
I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms
I cannot let go til you are
I am on a plane
Across a distant sea
But I carry you in me
In the dust on my feet
Rwanda,
Now that I have seen
I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms
I cannot let go til you are
I will tell the world
I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word
I will tell them, Albertine
Rwanda,
Now that I have seen
I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms
I cannot let go til you are
I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me
I will tell them Albertine
I will tell them Albertine
