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.
Verse:
Many times in my childhood, When we traveled so far, By nightfall how weary I'd grow, Fathers arms would slip 'round me, And gently he'd say, "My child we are going home"
Chorus:
Going home, I'm going home, There is nothing to hold me here, I've caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land, Praise God we are going home
Verse:
Now the twilight is fading, And the day soon shall end, I get homesick the farther I roam, But my father has led me each step of the way, And now I am going home
(Repeat Chorus)
