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.
I've got a hammer and an
Awkward nail that won't go down
I can try real hard but still it won't go down
Tell me how to do it, Jesus
Tell me how to do it, Jesus
I don't know how
The shadow in the corner is a stray cat that we found
I paid a thousand bucks once to keep that cat around
Now it's lying on the pavement
And the kids are crying: Save it!
But I don't know how
Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool?
Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus?
What's amazing to me about a man like you
Is that you raised the dead, but had to suffer too, Jesus
I've got a mountain up ahead and a few I've left behind
And I'm getting kind of scared of what I'm going to find
Were you scared to do it, Jesus?
Tell me how you did it, Jesus
I don't how
If the present is a place that my future will define
I want to slow things down and take a little time
Can you help me do it Jesus?
I want to live a little Jesus
But I don't know how
Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool?
Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus?
What's amazing to me about a man like you
Is that you raised the dead, but had to suffer too, Jesus
