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.
Screamin' at the newsman
Tellin' him to take it back
I'll sue him if he won't retract
Cryin' to the hangman
Beggin' him to render slack
If I could I would go back
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace
Just a little grace
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace
Just a little grace
Were you talkin' to the shrubbery
Did you cut the roses down
Someone oughta till that ground
You thought I had a pure heart, well
I thought you were an angel, girl
Mercy is the silver pearl
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace
Just a little grace...
My mother deems me ever dear
I'm less a liar than sincere
When you cut me in the alley-way
You don't have to turn that knife
I'll suffer in the afterlife
Prayin' to the Father
Sorry, did I grieve the Ghost
You're the one I love the most
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace
Just a little grace...
My mother deems me ever dear
