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.
Got the devil on my throat
Got blood on my hands
The ones that I love are in danger
I'm a fallen man
But I found me a river
And it washes me clean
I know that I'm drownin' for tryin'
But I'll never leave
Know that I'm found
I can't keep from hidin'
Don't have a choice
But I get stuck decidin'
I am a man in need of
A constant revival
Jesus, come quickly
I need You for my survival
Got a lock on my soul
I'll never let You in
Got the hounds of Hell chasin'
My time's runnin' thin
But I found me a rhythm
And it breaks down my gates
Sometimes it's hard to just listen
But I'm makin' my case
Know that I'm found
I can't keep from hidin'
Don't have a choice (choice)
But I get stuck decidin'
I am a man in need of
A constant revival
Jesus, come quickly
I need You for my survival
Like flowers need sunlight
Oh, oh, oh
Oceans need high tide
Oh, oh, oh
Like men need a long life
Oh, oh, oh
To know that they ain't right
Like lions need their pride
Oh, oh, oh
It's a matter of your time
Oh, oh, oh
I need you if I wanna survive
Oh, oh, oh
