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.
1. Off somewhere the music's playing soft and low.
And another holds the one that I love so.
I was blind I could not see
that you meant the world to me
but like a fool I stood and watched you go.
Now I'm crying my heart out over you.
Those blue eyes now they smile at someone new.
Ever since you went away
I die a little more each day
'cause I'm crying my heart out over you.
2. Each night I climb the stairs up to my room.
It seems I hear you whisper in the gloom.
I miss your picture on the wall
and your footsteps in the hall
While I'm crying my heart out over you.
Repeat chorus
