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 slept but my heart was awake
Knockin' on my door
You have been here
I stood but you ran away
My love, you have awakened me
I ran, but they chased me down
They beat and they bruised my heart
I run looking for the love
That came and ruined me
Can I be sleeping
When my heart's awake?
You are so near
And yet so far away
Has anybody seen the one I love?
I would give anything for this love
How long, how long, how long
Till I find?
How long, how long, how long?
Come to me
