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.
[chorus]
Necessary evil, necessary evil
Of keeping round ever for asking yourselves
She said evil, necessary evil
Kept out a chance and ask
I didn�t took no other
As far as I can see
So heavenly father
Have a mercy on me
Give me the strength
To deal with every fool I see, yeah
Try not enough to harm
Or be mean on me
[chorus]
Necessary evil, necessary evil
Of keeping down ever for asking yourselves
She said evil, necessary evil
Kept out a chance and ask
Come on everybody tell �em all now
I didn�t do no wrong, no I ain�t do no wrong
As far as I can see, as far as I can see
So heavenly father, so heavenly father,
Have a mercy on me, have a mercy, have a mercy on me
Give me the strength, give me the strength
To do what whatever I could, to do what whatever I could, I see
Try not to be to harsh, try not to get to harsh,
On merely old me
[chorus]
Is comin� to get you, right about now
Ladies and gentlemen, Osmond�s Septet
