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.
When all around has fallen your castle has been burned
You used to be a king here now no one knows your name
You live your life for honour, defender of the faith
But you've been crushed to pieces and no knows your pain
Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, come rise I'll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, rise with me
When tomorrow has been stolen and you can't lift your head
And summer feels like winter your heart is full of stone
Though ail your hopes have fallen
your skin is now your only armour
Wear your scars like medals defender of the faith
Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, come rise I'll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, come lay your faithful head, be still my friend
Come rise with me
