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.
Well the day is comin', when a child will lead
Every beast of the field with a tender voice he sings
And then the lion and lamb will lay down beside
The promise of a thousand years and the reign of Christ
No evil in sight
When he comes in glory, all the little stories
That we heard as children are gonna help us stand
With the word that's spoken, all sin's power is broken
Then that's when he'll bring us to another land
If ever there's comin' in a wink of an eye
The Boss Man knows no the angels nor you and I
And if you ever have a doubt that holds you down
Or whenever you need a twist or a turn around
And Christ's love is found
When he comes in glory, all the little stories
That we heard as children are gonna help us stand
With the word that's spoken, all sin's power is broken
Then that's when he'll bring us to another land
HeÂ'll take us by the hand
