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.
I watched the foundation burn and still I stayed
I watched the torch you held flicker and fade
betrayed myself for holding out so tight
now sadness sickens my hear and confusion blinds my sight
alone I feel so alone
maybe I'll turn this feeling into a wall of stone
and build it big and strong
I'll build it around my heart and let no one but you tear it apart
so here's your invitation
I hope you will accept
remember the days in the sun and promises kept
I'm writing these worlds from behind this wall
