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.
We were all alone on a Saturday
When you preached that gospel creed
Sittin' on the hood of my Chevrolet
My heart began to bleed
It cut like a bullet from a smokin' revolver
Givin' me that fatal blow
I was runnin' like a thief from a law enforcer
With nowhere I could go
I was lyin on the edge of dying hearin' your third degree
I was lyin on the edge of dying my soul had no relief
Escorted by a man of antiquity
Through my first church door
Sinking in a sea of insanity
Till that preacher took the floor
He was blastin' at my soul like a Bible explosion
He was blowin' like a hurricane
Just as he was reachin' for his second wind
I heard someone call my name
I was lyin on the edge of dying till I found my sight
I was lyin on the edge of dying till that supernatural night
