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.
The light came in 'bout 3 AM
And I rose up from my bed
And my eyes were open, but my heart was broken
When I saw you fade away
And I waited in the dark till the morning came
But on that night I realized
That your love burns in me
And God, now I'm held captive by the light unto my feet
Oh, you make the Sun rise in me
And I can't help but wonder where this life is going
Now I know that you're my destination
Every step I take in your direction
Brings me close
And I can't help but wonder where this life is going
Now I know that you're my destination
Every step I take in your direction
Brings me home, brings me home
And on that night I realized
That your love burns in me
And God, now I'm held captive by the light unto my feet
The light unto my aching feet
Oh, you make the Sun rise
Oh, you make the Sun rise in me
