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.
There's a little place outside in my backyard, where I can let go
Far away from the fast paced rat race, where the willows grow
When I been beat down, pushed 'round, feel like goin' crazy
I can hideaway
Where the blue sky fades at night,
When it's dark I see a light
In my baby's eyes, so I hold on tight
To my Lucky Life
Work week's done I'm gonna catch a little sun, lose these high heeled shoes
My only recreation on my two day vacation is sippin' on something cool
Keep your fast trains, airplanes, Caribbean getaways
I've got paradise
Some people never seem to have enough
They need more stuff to make them somebody
I'm satisfied with my simple life
So if I never have much money…
I got a blue sky fadin' tonight; when it's dark I see a light
In my baby's eyes, so I hold on tight
To my Lucky Life
