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.
Sitting around the fireplace
With a friend who's been through it all
Soloman, wisest one
Tell me what you have found
Under the sun, under the sun
He answered
Get over, get over, get over the sun
Get over, get over, get over the sun
Where life is hidden
Then he put on
A somber face
Talked about how
The rich man will waste
Away in the ground
Where the poor man is found
Painted up, like a clown
Under the sun, under the sun
He answers
Son, you'll soon be done
A life spent on some shiny god
Who leaves you empty
