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.
I've been through the day
And I don't have the time
To speak unto friends
Or to speak Lord to You
There is only one thing on my mind
And that is pleasing myself
Which I've no time to do
No time, no time
That's my constant cry
No time to help those in need
At last it's time to die
No time
At last before the Lord I came
I stood with downcast eyes
He held a book in His hands
It was the Book of Life
He opened up the book and said,
"Your name I cannot find
I was once going to write it down
But I couldn't find the time."
God opened up His book and said,
"Your name I cannot find
I was once going to write it down
But I couldn't find the time."
