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 can't wait for the highway at five
I'm taking it out on the rush hour drive
And through it all I have kept myself alive
But I'm not going back 'til Monday morning at nine
I should be dead, but I'm feeling all right
The weekday dies, I move toward the light
Well, through it all I have kept myself alive
I can't wait 'til Saturday night
All right, forget where I've been
And pray for a longer weekend
Then there's the man with his collar brushed blue
The old slave driver laughs as he picks off the crew
And through it all I have kept myself alive
Among my thoughts: mean people need Jesus, too
All right, forget where I've been
And pray for a longer weekend
Pray for a longer weekend
I can't wait for the highway at five
I'm taking it out on the rush hour drive
And through it all I have kept myself alive
I can't wait for Monday morning at nine
All right, forget where I've been
And pray for a longer weekend
And pray for a longer weekend
And pray for a longer weekend
