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.
Long a ------go and far away, I dreamed a dream one day.
And now, that dream is here beside me.
Long, the skies were overcast, but now the clouds have passed.
You're here at last.
Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdins lamp is mine.
The dream I dreamed was not denied me.
Just one look and then I knew.
That all I longed for long ago was you.
