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.
Somebody said my hair's too long,
Does my words offend you?
So you don't think I can sing?
So you're offended by the truth?
When I was hungry, did you feed me?
When I was naked, did you clothe me?
When I was thirsty, did you give me a drink?
When I was sick, did you minister to me?
Did you think this stranger would go away?
Is that what you think?
Abortion clinics offend me,
The hungry, the poor offend me,
The naked, the homeless offend me,
Is that hard for you to believe?
Gossip offend me, hypocrisy offends me,
Backbiting offends me,
Do you have something to say?
- Then won't you say it to me?
