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 wish that you were here right now,
so I could tell you all about, about me, about yourself,
remember when we stayed up all night and talked,
about what we were given,
and you were all I had and you are all I need,
I wish you were here right now
