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.
Some people hungry for a green-backed bill
Some folks hunger for the top of the hill
Some people just trying to get a decent meal
But I know that we can can turn it around
Some people sleeping in a fine feather bed
Some folks are dreaming of the old homestead
Some just need a place to lay their head
But I know that we can can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
If there's one thing that I found
There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
River bottom up to home on high
End of the line or the endless sky
Jet setting or just getting by
I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
If there's one thing that I found
There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
From the Ninth Ward up to Pettycoat lane
One man's joy has been another man's pain
But the Sun keeps shining through the driving rain
And I know that we can turn it around
I know that we can turn it around
If there's one thing that I found
There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn
I know that we can turn it around
