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.
there exists no dream worth chasing if it cannot satisfy
there exists no god worth serving if he cannot hear your cry
dig your claws into the earth
struggle to obtain
holding on for all you're worth
to what death will strip away
your wealth (your pride)
dissolved (in time)
reduced (to dust)
your worthless treasures rust
a camel through the needle's eye
for greed express no shame
you own no wealth that will provide
salvation from hell's flames
your wealth (your pride)
dissolved (in time)
reduced (to dust)
your worthless treasures rust
constructing towers in the mud
your labor is in vain
although it seems progress is made
the outcome is the same
