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 a child is born to us
Light of God upon her face
Filled with favor and with love
She's a miracle of grace
She's a miracle of grace
I see a mother with her child
I see a daddy standing tall
I see the joy that you have brought to us all
I know gramps will teach you Bible
We'll all teach you ice cream
Probably you'll be teaching us all that we've lost.
I know there's a reason there's rhyme
For every season there's a sign
I know there's a message God has just for us
Cause somehow as we grow
We lose what we were told
Simple seems the cost for getting old
