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.
In the river of dreams
Your heart turns old
And you wear the Jesus, and you wear the Jesus
Now you will run
For your life
The sinners guns
Been fired twice
Once for the silver
Once for the gold
It's like a river
So I've been told
In the river of dreams
You tell no lie
For you wear the Jesus with sapphire eyes
She turns her cards
To see him come
The skeleton smile
Says his gone
He ran for the silver
Ran for the gold
It's like a river
I've been told
In the river of dreams
You tell no lie
For you wear the Jesus with sapphire eyes
In the river of dreams
Your heart turns old
And you wear the Jesus in silver and gold
The river of dreams
Attach your head
To the machine of all humankind's prayers
When you step down
Into the stream
You'll be dirty instead of clean
And you wear the Jesus
In the river of dreams
You tell no lie
For you wear the Jesus with sapphire eyes
In the river of dreams
Your heart turns old
And you wear the Jesus in silver and gold
