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 have never, never walked alone
Though you're far ahead you have never left me behind
There are days I can't avoid the stones in the
Middle of the road
But I have never, never walked alone
I will never be afraid for any time
In so many ways you have anchored your arm to mine
There are days when I lean heavily upon you
To guide me home
But I have never, no never walked alone
In my search for human kindness
When it all gets out of pace
Your love's the one thing that gets me by
For I have never, no never walked alone
You have listened to a thousand calls in the dark
Before the dawn
I have never, never walked alone
We have worked it out together so I can say
Somehow I've known
That I have never, no never walked alone
