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.
I’ve seen you be a good man
With the shirt off yo’ back
Years you’ve given to me
I still ain’t had no other
Who could have my back?
No, there’s no quality
You treated my momma well
Because of you I can tell
Just how exactly how a good man should be
But no matter what you do
It’s like I don’t want the truth
Why can’t they let a man just let him be?
I’ll drain your tears, I won’t let you drown
So they can’t ever keep a good man down
Push through the years
You make me proud
They can’t ever keep a good man down
No, no, no, no
Said they can’t ever keep a good man down
Peace of mind you’ve given me
Makes me forget the past
Feels like you’ll never leave
If I do wrong, forgive me completely
'Cause I see (oh) that you set me free
You gave your life up for me
'Cause of you I can see
Just how exactly how a good man should be
But no matter what you do
It’s like I don’t want the truth
Why can’t they let a man just let him be?
I’ll drain your tears, I won’t let you drown
So, they can’t ever keep a good man down
Push through the years
You made me proud
They can’t ever keep a good man down
No, no, no, no
Said they can’t ever keep a good man down
No, no, no, no
Said they can’t ever keep a good man down
You give me life when you love me
I feel safe, you comfort me
I just want to let you know that someone has seen it all
(I’ll drain)
I’ll drain your tears, I won’t let you drown
So, they can’t ever keep a good man down
Push through the years
You make me proud
They can’t ever keep a good man down
A good man down, a good man down
