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 am just a friend, I am just a friend.
Your passions laid captive to the mercy of these men,
I am just a friend, I am just a friend.
Condemnation, frustration, and a crude revelation,
emotions are bruised.
Your heart is spent.
Love is everything, I am just a friend, I am just a friend.
Lay down your walls, they don't mean a thing,
keep on shining baby, now's your chance to sing.
I'm a few years older, but a couple years shy.
I am just a man, I am just a man.
My eyes are so hungry, I'm never satisfied,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
Gratification, temptation, righteous indignation,
my eyes are so weak and your skin is so strong.
Scoundrel, trapped by my device,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
I don't want to hold you in jezebel eyes...
Now I've made some promises that have never come to pass,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
I will love you this night, you can keep your shirt on,
I am just a man, I am just a man.
Revelation, elation, a beauty fixation,
drunk with passion, I'll try to resist.
Love is everything, I am just a man, I am just a man.
Men will come and men will go,
with the eyes they'll steal your clothes,
still,
I'll be there.
The eyes of God have drawn your face,
I could never take His place,
still,
I'll be there.
