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.
God, what were you doing?
What were you doing here?
I know that you are moving
But right now, it's less than clear
Cause the world just got darker
Cause a little light went out
And we'll try to hold it together
But it's hard to do that now
So we'll cry on her birthdays
As days turn to years
We beg for your wisdom
Can't go on without you near
Cause our beautiful girl
Left the world
Left the world
Little hands and crazy hair
Little kisses on my ears
Barely more than simple words
Two years old
And your heaven, God, is distant
Just too far away
And it hurts to watch
As yellow balloons
Fly away
Fly away
So we cry on her birthdays
And wish that we knew
Why you took her to heaven
So soon
And we beg for your presence
We beg for more of you
Cause our beautiful girl
Left the world
Left the world
