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.
Daylight comes to meet you on the road
Like a prodigal son, a prodigal hope that
You gave up on, when you were young
But daylight is coming on
We live on the edge, on the edge of a darkness
We live on the edge, on the edge of a darkness
But daylight is coming on
Heaven bends up for the naked and the poor
To settle up a debt, to settle up a score
To set up a table on the edge of a war
Cause we've been bleeding on the edge of the sword
Bridge (am all the way through once, then back to am - f - c - g)
The boardwalk is painted red with the blood of
A thousand prospective heroes but one
Who rides out beyond of the grave and the flood
Where the blackest abyss is, but cannot overcome
