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.
Ever since the pain set in
And dusk spilled over everything
I can’t hear you
I can’t hear you
Gone the vows and alms of day
Of all I’ve lost the cruelest thing
Is that I can’t hear you
I can’t hear you
I can't hear you
I can't hear you
Light the darkness, light the darkness
The wounds you kiss, the joints you break
As limb from limb the silence takes
When I don’t hear you
I don’t hear you
I don’t hear you
I don't hear you
Light the darkness, light the darkness
In this night more lovely than the dawn
Your hand finds mine here in the dark
When I’ve no form left to hold you close
Your voice itself becomes my home
Light the darkness, light the darkness
