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.
Standing at the crossroads
Of a dead-end street
Pressured like a secret
That you cannot keep
Running to the darkness
To escape the night
Dangling at the bottom
Of a rope held tight
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you
Buying up tickets
For a runaway train
Pulling at the latchkey
On a rusty chain
Shaking hands with devils
Wearing angel's wings
Looking for the potion
To the scorpion's sting
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you
Without you I can't live
Without you I can't live
Heart without hope
Breath without soul
Death without life
I cannot live without you
Guilty as traitor
Behind enemy lines
Caught within the cogwheel
Of the daily grind
Tearing out the pages
Of a dog-eared book
Wiping off the bloodstains
From a cross of wood
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you
Without you I can't live
Without you I can't live
Heart without hope
Breath without soul
Death without life
I cannot live without you
The love of the lion
The fury of the dove
A fist of callouses
In a velvet glove
A merciful tyrant
A silent judge
And a heart eternal
Wrapped in flesh and blood
Wrapped in flesh and blood
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you
