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 touch of lips the close of eyes
They matter more than you surmise
I hide it all in secret boxes
Until tomorrow when we first meet
I watch you fade before my eyes
I can’t take it, but I won’t look away
Maybe the fires that feel so cold,
They won’t completely die away
I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget
I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget
I may not let you see my pain
I may not speak hard words in anger
To you maybe it isn’t really strange
You being loved by a stranger
I won’t give you up just yet
I will come calling at your door
Ours is a home we can’t get to anymore
I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget
I don’t want to, I don’t want you
I don’t want you to forget
Behind your eyes there is a distance
I ask you if you’d like to dance
You mistake me for a healer
I’m just a desperate man stealing one last chance
