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.
The devil looked into my eyes when I was seventeen
He said: I'll give you all the world if you will follow me
He dealt the cards, I drew the king
With this he was not pleased
And then he raised the stakes when he said to me:
I am the devil
I am the dealer I've come for your soul
Lay down your cards and I'll take control
I will bet your life if you dare to try, my friend
The luck of the draw tonight
The dealer tried to conquer me
But I would not concede
Now everything he offered me was tempting to believe
I took a look inside my hand I saw the royalty
And then I called his bluff when he said to me: I am the devil
I am the dealer I've come for your soul
Lay down your cards and I'll take control
I will bet your life if you dare to try, my friend
The luck of the draw
I am the dealer I tell you no lies
Show me your cards and fate will decide
I will bet your life for eternity my friend
The winner takes all tonight
