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.
jonny was a poor one without hope
and, who knows, happy as he was, what he'd do?
and how i did like him, despite all the ruins
then one day he died, and he died without a thing
experts come and go, but what do i know?
would you hold my hand, as we go to sleep?
and i want you to be able to weep
oh look outside, our city never sleeps
guess that's real neat, guess we've got to compete
