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.
Darkness spends it lonely wings
on the high horizons of our hopes and dreams
As long shadows grow, now they're fading
in the twilight of our hopeful waiting
The tide is rising
Oh, girl, you're needed tonight
Behind your eyes there's a light
Beautiful girl. Do what you will
I'm not leaving tonight
Under the weight of a clear endless sky
It seems like we waste all our time making time
I could spend all of mine inside your eyes
Do what you will, I'm believing tonight
I've left behind all the "whens?" and the "whys?"
Seems like I waste all my time making rhymes
I could spend all of mine inside these lines
Though I taste my tears, there is victory
Love has conquered fear, truth will carry me
