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.
For all my burning and desire
I can't find you in the flame
For all the shaking up I've tried
I can't find you in the quake
Oh for all my running in circles
What have I become but a little tired?
Hush, I'll wait for
You—be with me through it all
You—spirit speak, still and small
For all the hot air that I blow
I can't find you in the wind
For all the things I think I know
I know less than when I began
And oh for all my running in circles
What have I become but a little tired?
Hush, I'll wait for
You—be with me through it all
You—spirit speak, still and small
Oh for all my running in circles
What have I become but a little tired?
On and on and on and on
And oh for all my running in circles
What have I become but a little tired?
Hush now wait
For a moment, still and small
And I hear you say, "hush, now, wait"
