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.
It's not a bad car that I drive
Barely well but still alive
You might laugh when I arrive
It's not a bad car that I drive
It's not a cold couch where I sleep
Not as hard as it was cheap
Seven foot long, two feet deep
It's not a cold couch where I sleep
She's not a sad girl that I've got
Cries a little, laughs a lot
Loves her man more than she ought
She's not a sad girl that I've got
(Tie your shoelaces
To my shoelaces
I'll tie a rope to a tree
We'll see how the wind whips
Happy fool faces
Come blow away with me_
It's not a cruel world where I stay
Spins around once everyday
Children dance, proud (wise) men sway
It's not a cruel world where I stay
It's not a black heart where I feel
Wicked schemes I may reveal
Washed in blood each time I kneel
It's not a black heart where I feel
