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.
today day is a slow day
and i'll play guitar til the day goes away
trying to write a song that says i love you
trying to let you know i do
the dawn is bowing out
and the afternoon dawns on me now
trying to write a song thats says i'm tired
of trying to get you
the night is a dark night
when it finally sets
and i'll make it out to seem like i wanted it a little bit,
the better to see you with
