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.
Sometimes I'm too tired to pray
‘Cause it feels like nothing ever changes
But I never really say it
It's so hard to say it
And the more I try to pretend
The more the weight caves in
And I can't stop it
I can't stop
My soul from crying out
My soul keeps crying out, oh lord
I’m screaming inside
Somebody take the load off of my shoulders
It's too heavy I can't hold it no more, no more
I wasn't meant to carry this mountain
Or bury it down in my soul
No, I was meant to share this burden
I gotta fall down to rise
If I wanna live I gotta die
I’ve gotta to know the darkness
To show the light
Brothers, sisters
We've gotta share this burden
