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.
I remember when I said
What a beautiful world
Like that old man said
You can wash your soul
I've never felt so
My skin's like a body
Taken by every pore
So I could wash my soul
You can hold it now
And set it in your mind
Just keep it in your eyes
I don't know if I'll feel the same
Even though it's a similar place
I want to do what I have to do
My time is gonna die
That old man knows how to live
He's got feelings in his memory
He said son I have stories...
Maybe you'd like to hear
But for a while, please, just wash your soul
You can wash your soul
You can hold it now
And set it in your mind
Just keep it in your eyes
