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.
Won't you be a good boy
Listen closely and enjoy
All the benefits that getting wisdom brings
Give her esteem
She is priceless and supreme
She will crown your head with more honor than kings
Get her boy and let yourself surrender
Run alone with her and never fall
She is wisdom and the most praiseworthy trait of all, of them all
Embrace her and the love she brings will save you
To the Father's justifiable ways
She is wisdom waiting with her prize
Garland of grace
Do you have none
Do you cry out for the One
Would you offer anything to understand (Listen closely to her)
Study her well
And in time the truth will tell
How it's wisdom that completely makes her man
And she will now so
With her garland of grace…
