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.
(Verse 1)
Earth groans and waits
For her King to come
With trembling hands
Of broken innocence
She bows and breaks
'Neath her heavy load
For time has held her ransom
(Chorus)
Will justice reign
Will truth prevail
Will any take their stand for mercy
Who'll choose to walk the narrow way
And touch a broken world with healing
Will justice reign
(Verse 2)
Her children cry
From sorrow's depths
Grieving for life as it could've been
But we close our eyes until the image fades
Living on the borrowed time of excuses
