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.
In a world of winners and losers,
Some are userd, some are the users;
It's a push and shove race
Of trying to get ahead.
In the dust of all the confusion
We make a choice, Truth or illusion;
Will we listen to lies,
Or hear what the Father says.
CHORUS
We are running in a human race,
Where nobody wants to settle for second place;
But we've got to run it at a different pace,
'Cause the first will be last and the last will be first
At the end of the human race.
In a day when values are changing,
What kind of ground are we really gaining;
Who are we trying to serve by going the extra mile.
We can't trade the Truth for the fashion;
We've got to live a life of compassion,
And those we touch are the prize
That waits at the finish line.
(chorus)
We are running in the human race;
We must run it at a different pace,
'Cause we'll all meet the Father face to face
At the finish line of the human race. (2x)
(chorus)
