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.
You're the door that opened me
Walked inside and fell asleep,
Dreamed a dream, awoke,
And then you whispered your dream to me.
In the dream you were a song
One that I was trying to learn.
You taught me to sing you as you sang into my ear, you sang,
Sing until the song sings you.
Then you found a puzzle piece, was a puzzle piece of me,
Put the pieces where they yield your favorite version of me.
Oh to my astonishment, when I beheld your art,
The puzzle completed was a picture of a puzzle taken apart.
