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.
Early in the morning, when the Sun is shining
I would take a walk to king marie
There's a little meadow 'neath the mountain shadow
Where I would meet the girl from king marie
How I love to hear her voice
Whispering that I'm her choice
How I love the girl from king marie
She's as pretty as can be
She belongs to only me
How I love the girl from king marie
Once upon a lonely, the sky was black and stormy
I was on my way to king marie
This day of disaster, my heart was beating faster
I ran all the way to king marie
There was a solitary tree
Standing in the meadow green
Where we would sit and pass the time away
Lightning flashed across the sky
And when I opened up my eyes
She was gone, the girl from king marie
See the eagle flying, hear the wind is sighing
It's time to take a walk to king marie
Two and twenty seasons, tell me what's the reason
That I still go down to king marie
That I still go down to king marie
How I miss the girl from king marie
And how I love the girl from king marie
