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.
Save me from this prison
Lord help me to get away
Cause only you can save me now from this misery
And i've been lost in my own place and i'm getting' weary (how far is heaven?)
And i know that i need to change my ways of livin' (how far is heaven?)
Lord can you tell me?
I've been locked up way too long in this crazy world (how far is heaven?)
And i'll just keep on prayin' lord and just keep on livin' (how far is heaven?)
Yeah lord can you tell me (how far is heaven?)
Cause i just got to know how far (how far is heaven?)
Yeah i just got to know how far
Yeah
Tu que estas en alto cielo (you that's in a higher place)
Echame tu bendicion (send me down a blessing)
Cause i know that there's a better place than this place i'm livin' (how far is heaven?)
And i just got to have some faith and just keep on giving (how far is heaven?)
Yeah lord can you tell me? (how far is heaven?)
Cause i just gotta know how far, yeah (how far is heaven?)
Yeah lord can you tell me? (how far is heaven?)
Cause i just gotta know how far
