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 wanna hear the music play
I wanna dance and laugh and sway
I want a happy holiday
For Christmas
I could call you on the phone
Sing a song, it feels like home
Instead of feeling all alone
This Christmas
And the snow is falling, can't you see?
Is it Christmas calling out to me?
If I could be with you tonight
Beside a fire shining bright
I'd open up to all of your light
This Christmas
This mistletoe hangs over me
I'm looking all around for glee
So Santa, give me what I need
For Christmas
And the friends who feel like family
With their secret angels holding me?
And the snow is falling, can't you see?
Is it Christmas calling out to me?
Is it Christmas calling out to me?
I wanna be a Jolly Jones
Instead of feeling all alone
I sing a song that feels like home
This Christmas
