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.
It was the spring on a sunny day
My sweetheart left me, she run away
And now she's gone and i don't worry
God, i'm sitting on top of the world
The mississippi river is deep and wide
My sweetheart left me on the other side
And now she's gone and i don't worry
Well, i'm sitting on top of the world
I'm sitting on top of the world
Don't you like my peaches?
Don't upset my tree
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
And now she's gone and i don't worry
God i'm sitting on top of the world
I'm sitting on top of the world
