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.
If only I could fix the sky to meet me
If only I could fix my heart to meet at dawn
It's got a way of knowing when to hurt me
Oh, it's when the night is long
Backwoods lullabies feel like a ghostly touch
Roots spread all the way back to godless times
It's got a way of knowing when to haunt me
Oh, it's when the night is long
And there's a young one sitting at the top of the world
Counting down a clock that nobody sees
And it's got a way of knowing when to taunt me
It's singing-
Earthquakes break and shatter the perfect design
Ripped realities of broken minds
Towers rise to meet, and yet it's laughing
Humming: Oh, it won't be long
Humming: Oh, it won't be long
And there's a young one sitting at the top of the world
Counting down a clock that nobody sees
And it's got a way of knowing when to taunt me
It's got a way of knowing when to taunt me
And it's singing-
