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.
Between the cross and Heaven
There's a whole lot of livin' goin' on
'Cause when you meet the Savior
Your new life has only begun
There's workin' and carin'
And lovin' to do
There's happiness in singin' a song
Between the cross and Heaven
There's a whole lot of livin' goin' on
Oh the joy that I felt
When I met the Savior's worth sharing
And it's so exciting just to think
Of the place He's preparing
But most of what the Lord had to say
Says He cares about what I'm doin' today
And life is more than just an interlude
Between the first verse and the last
(Repeat Chorus)
