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.
All around me
In the air hangs a wreath
Of blackest bile, and smoke
That I can see
I open up my heart
And let it all in
And it kills all my love
And hope for everyone
And it hasn't been easy on you
I know that more than most
I am born to be alone
I am just some lonely ghost
All around us
Hangs an air of darkest doom
And it flows out my lungs
And slowly fills the room
I open up my heart
And stick my fingers in
But you will never want
What I have to give
