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.
You will wait in the widow's peak
And while you watch the ships come in
I will take the early train
And I will take the backstreets
Down to New Orleans
Before the avenues are swallowed
By the morning air
And you will watch the ships come in
And I will take the early train
And I will make it home
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
When there's so much for us
I know.
You will wait at your post until
You've been relieved and warn us all if seas are dangerous
You should rest for a little while
And I will watch the ships come in
And I'll alert the citizens
I'll sound the alarm.
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
When there's so much for us
I know.
They've tethered the ships in the harbor
It anchored the rest at sea.
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know.
We're stronger than before the strain had broken us.
And there is fight in us, I know
That it will take more than a heavy rain to silence us.
When there's so much for us
I know
