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.
Frozen steps in their place
They're the kind you can't retrace
I'm walking off Foraker
Folding over on yourself
And lifted to a higer shelf
I'll never just forsake her
In the altered glow
You don't have to speak
In the ice and snow?
True, we'll be closer then
You're my Foraker
Drawing letters in snowlines
Must be thinking of another time
And I'll take the higher ground
Pillars of my faith below
They're holding up all that we know
And I'll make a Puget Sound
Cut your teeth in the earth
With these rivers of fears
You'll shoulder your worth
Through a half million years
You're my Foraker
I thought we might rule
The whole damn world
You never saw
But I'll love you the same
