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.
Summertime has come and gone
The leaves are slowly falling
The other day my mother heard
The voice of Jesus calling
He said: Come on with me, my child
I'll take away your strife
Mama went to sleep on this side
And woke up in paradise
Oh, but how I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
How I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
How I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
When I was a little boy
Mama rocked me in her arms
She protected me from danger
She kept me safe and warm
But mama is not here now
And I'm standing by myself
But as long as I've got Jesus
I don't need nobody else
Oh, but how I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
How I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
How I miss her so
More than you'll ever know
I miss her
More than you'll ever know
