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.
Are you leaving for the country
You say the city brings you down
Lately I have fallen behind
And watched the circus leaving town
Are you leaving for the country
I know a little country town
Where the dogs sleep out in the cold
And the flag pole's falling down
By and high
The whippoorwill flies
Spreads his wings and moves off into space
Do you feel like something ain't real
Let the spirit move you again
Are you leaving for the country
