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.
I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
It seems like the day before yesterday I was just a little snotty-nosed kid
And that shock of hair that I had back there went away and hid, yeah it did
But, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
Well, I’d have thought for sure Jesus would have come back by now
I still believe some day I’ll see Him riding that big white horse through the clouds
I believe it even more right now than I did when I was a kid
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
(They thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did)
And I hope I have a few more years before they close that lid
Ah, come on, Larry, we’ve had more fun already than I’d really like to admit
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer
(He thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer)
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
Oh, come on, Kevin, show us your stuff
I’d have thought by now I’d have more money than I do, like you
Oh, but God knows best, we’ve all been blessed
(With more than enough to see us through)
And I wouldn’t trade places with anyone else, heaven and God forbid
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
Now, this simple song is just two minutes long
Come on, Larry, who we trying to kid
But it sure seems like it took a lot longer than it did (thank the Lord)
