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.
In a shell of bitterness
Covered in self righteousness
In the wake of evidence
You're clinging to your stubbornness
Drinking from a dirty cup
Well you turn your head
And drink it up
But the nasty deeds you hide away
Will all be seen on judgment day
Chorus:
No letting go
Of the old traditions
Paving the road
With a strong conviction
And the blood flows
For a true redemption
But you cannot see that you've gone too far
Cause you live your life
With a hard heart
Were you looking for an angry king
To help you conquer everything
But the day will come
When you'll drop your sword and cry
Blessed be the One who comes
In the name of the Lord
(chorus)
Bridge:
Snake in the grass crack in the glass
You beat down the head
Of the poor and hungry
Whatever you do to the least of these
You do it unto Me, unto Me
Chorus:
No letting go
And the blood flows
For a true redemption
But you cannot hear
What the Savior said
Cause your heart is hard
And your faith is dead
And you cannot see
That you've gone too far
Cause you live your life with a
Hard heart
(1st chorus)
