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.
Underneath the stars
Just a simple man and wife
somewhere out the dark
his words cut the silentness
Take my hand
For the child
That you carry as God's own
And though it seems the road is long
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy begins
For in our arms we'll charish him
We're not that far from bethlehem
Let us Celebrate
As the Christmas sails good-bye
Learn to live our day
with our hearts kneeled to the child
Ever close to the only love that last
and those two thousand years have past
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy begins
For in our arms we'll charish him
We're not that far....
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy begins
For in our arms we'll charish him
We're not that far
We're not that far
from Bethlehem
