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 hear music coming from heaven
Singing a new song in my direction
I hear the melody, heavenly symphony
Feelings coming over me
Sets me spirit free
I feel like I've been born all over again
Like a songbird in the canyon
It echoes in my mind
Taking me farther from the memories of things I left behind
And it's taken me so long to hear
The music playing softly
Softly in my ear
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh love
Yahweh love Yahweh love, Yahweh
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh love
Yahweh love Yahweh love, Yahweh
I see a sign on every corner leading me astray
I hear a thousand voices calling for me to walk away
When I listen closely I can hear
the music playing softly
Softly in my ear
