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.
If I were an apple hanging on a tree,
I'd give myself to the first green worm,
And together we would be.
He'd make a little hole and live inside of me.
He would be my best friend, and he'd keep my company.
But I am not an apple hanging on a tree.
I am nothing but an empty human being.
But Jesus wants to come and live inside of me
And be my best friend and keep me company.
He wants to show me His way,
And He will never leave me,
And He will give me ears to hear,
And He will give me eyes to see
The perfect plan He has for Him and for me.
I'm glad I'm not an apple hanging on a tree.
