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.
It's been a long time since You've held me close
It's the thing that matters most-
The time I spend with You
Itt's been a long tim
Since I've held Your hand
I don't understand
How I could walk away from You
All I have to do is call
You'll come running to my side
Then I look at You and You say
It's gonna be alright
It's been a long time
Since we've talked awhile
Since I've cracked a smile
Since I've heard Your voice
It's been a long time
Since I've seen the sun
I've been on the run
But now I have no choice
I've been running I've been hiding from You
Now I know there's only one thing I can do, so I-
Throw my hands up in the air and I will pray
That You carry me away
