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.
hear the tale of a fallen people
destined to wander their broken land
their eyes are vacant, full of empty meaning
what they're missing they just don't understand
(Chorus 1)
beyond the dark horizon
out where the people are crying
a Morningstar will be rising
rising to show us the way
long ago a secret treasure was given
to change the heart of every woman and man
but somehow the treasure was forgotten
it lies buried underneath the shifting sand
(Chorus 2)
beyond the dark horizon
out where the people are crying
a Morningstar will be rising
rising up with the bright dawn of healing
rising up to show us the way
our eyes are not seeing
our hearts are not feeling
we want to believe now
come save us from ourselves
(Chorus 3)
beyond the dark horizon
out where the people are dying
the Son of man will be rising
the glory of the Lord will be shining
shatter the dark horizon
out where the people are crying
a Morningstar will be rising
rising to show us the way
