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.
A stranger sight was never seen
Not a soul is heard - no voices, not a face is seen
All the ships have sailed, the flights are gone
There's a house with the windows open..and the TV's on
They said they knew what's coming
The experts all agreed
It will come on one fine morning - it's guaranteed
There's an empty store, and a vacant shop
And a baseball lies in stillness - in the parking lot
Newspaper blows, down a dusty street
And a billboard shows me a picture - something good to eat
They said they knew the reason
The experts all agreed
Life will manifest due season - it's been decreed
The lights are dim and the sky is pale
When the day is done are there any left who can tell the tale
On a crimson sea, and a roaring wave
Their hearts would fail them now if they looked into the grave
