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.
You're a king and a prisoner, one for each eye
Starting to believe your own lies
You hold every moment tight at the throat
But nothing's ever out of control
You act like you know every answer
Making your world work just right
Never a question, never a doubt in sight
Brother, don't you know no one's too high to fall?
No one's strong enough to make their own way
Brother, don't you know we're all just beggars and thieves
In need of the very same grace, the very same grace
A day's always coming when our kingdom breaks down
Our plans are like glass on the ground
You act like you know every answer
Missing matters the most confessing our weakness
'Cause that's when God moves in close
Come down off of that mountain, let go of everything
Come, join us who are broken, that mercy is healing
