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.
For 24 years I've lived this life
In 24 hours I'll leave this life
Powder flash
As the earth gave way
Crimson blooms
On my coat of gray
The light grows dark as I awake
Angels dance my soul to take
I hear them say
Take the hand of the Father
As he leads you to the land
Of no tomorrow
Take the hand of the Father
As he leads you to the land
Of no more sorrows
Mama I'll miss your tender care
Daddy I hope I'll see you there
I tried so hard to do what's right
The time has come
To give up this fight
Lord I hear your still small voice
In a childhood vow
I made my choice
I hear you say
