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.
It started with a dream and I could see it all
I had a vision and I heard you call me
Now the dream is over but the voice remains
I am part of something that is going
To change things for the better
To change things for the better
And I hear you call
And I see you dancing, dancing on the wall
The writings on the paper, the names upon the page
The past part of the present
And this coming of age
I see a revolution I never thought would dawn
I am part of something that's going to go on
And on for the better
To go on and on for the better
And I hear you call
And I see you dancing, dancing on the wall
It started with a dream and I still recall
I see a bridge where there once was a wall of stone
Now the dream is over and the picture will fade
But I am part of something
That is going to sway things for the better
Going to sway things for the better
And I hear you call
And I see you dancing, dancing on the wall
