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.
He left the splendor of heaven
Knowing his destiny
Was the lonely hill of golgotha
There to lay down his life for me
If that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love
Even in death he remember
The thief hanging by his side
Then he spoke of love and compassion
And he took him to paradise
And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love it's got to be love
