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.
Amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
Sing it with me children
(Amen) now listen to my story
(Amen) it’s a story ‘bout my Jesus
Amen, amen, amen
(Amen) now see the little baby
(Amen) wrapped up in that manger, on Christmas morning
Amen, amen, amen
See him at the seashore
(Amen) talking to the fishermen
(Amen) you see, he’s making us disciples
Amen, amen, amen
Now they’re riding through jerusalem
(Amen) as they wave palm branches
(Amen) in pomp and in splendor
Amen, amen, amen
Now see him in the garden, as he’s praying to the father
In deepest sorrow, sorrow he’s led before pilot
(Amen) then they crucified him
(Amen) but he rose on easter morning
Amen, amen, amen
Glory, hallelujah
(Amen) yes I know he died to save you and me
(Amen) and he lives forevermore
Amen, amen, amen (evermore yes he does)
My soul sings: Glory hallelujah!
Amen, amen
Cause he was born
He died. He rose again
And he’s coming back to take us home
Amen, amen, amen!
