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.
Why, are you giving up, all that was so (x2),
meaningful to me, meaningful to you,
now that you see the misery I lived In.
I want you to turn your back on,
turn your back on me, and go, now that you see,
Destroy that vision.
How can I feel so ashamed?
Destroy that vision.
You gave up on me and my heart stopped.
Now that you see the misery I lived in,
I want you to turn your back on me, and go (x2).
Where did you get the feather I want to fly with?
I want to fly to the rope I was hung to.
Just tied me up, and I bless you.
