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.
She saw me on the table
Frozen through and through
A doctor walked into the room
And cut me clean in two
A blue light shining on my face
She thought she saw me smile
Eyes aglow and blinkin' all the while
The layers each were plain to see
She thought of Cherries Jubilee
And then remembered it was me
So she screamed
The doctor, in complete control, said
"Worry not, I'll stitch him whole
But now the sun will warm his soul"
It was a dream
They set me by the window
Upon two silver trays
The nurse was quite the angel
Singin' "Come down heavenly rays"
A white light shinin' on my face
She knew she saw me smile
Eyes aglow and blinkin' all the while
The layers each were plain to see
She thought of Cherries Jubilee
And then remembered it was me
So she screamed
The doctor, in complete control, said
"Worry not, I'll stitch him whole
But now the Son will warm his soul"
It was a dream
Robin had a dream
