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 was killed in a shopping cart
turned upside down and left for dead
I saw a clown try to speak to me
as I floated overhead
I found my way to a familiar place
I swear I'd been sometime before
I would have thought it was the marketplace
but I could not find the door
Oh I have been to heaven
and I have walked the streets
but I couldn't find a hand to hold
to keep me on my feet
so paradise is a parking lot
a spot up front is your reward
and all the rest walked down streets of gold
to the house they could afford
well I got lost in the swelling crowd
and I could not afford to eat
you only have what you came in with
so I'm living on the street
Oh I have been to heaven
and I found no relief
cause I couldnt find a hand to hold
to keep me on my feet
well I heard Jesus Christ was there
he had a car that's bulletproof
and that way everyone is safe
from the man who tells the truth
Oh I have been to heaven
and I have walked the streets
but I couldn't find a hand to hold
to keep me on my feet
no I couldn't find a hand to hold
to keep me on my feet
