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.
O Shachah, where did you go?
O Shachah, where did you go?
We bow our heads and bend our knees,
in a legalistic state of mind.
But if nothing happens in wardly,
we're only wasting our time.
We won't sing what we're supposed to.
We will sing what we have to.
A time is coming and now has come,
to worship in spirit and truth.
Never mind the songs we've sung,
our hearts now must carry the tune.
We wont sing what we're supposed to.
We will sing what we have to.
O Shachah, where did we go to?
O Shachah, we're coming back to you.
Come let us bow our hearts.
