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.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love and it sure enough is a pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around
When you were mine
I was feeling so good
'Cause your love lit up
This old neighbourhood
But now that you're gone
You know the sun don't shine
From the city hall to the county line
Ain't no love in the heart of the city
Ain't no love in the heart of town
Ain't no love and it sure enough is a pity
Ain't no love cause you ain't around
Every place that I go
It seems so strange
Without you there
Things have changed
When your night-time calls
There's a blanket of gloom
Another teardrop falls in my lonely room
