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 know I've shocked and stunned the heavens
I fear betrayal lives and flows in my blood
I can't kill the curse or claim the blessing
Living in death and shame
How many songs of my betrayal
Will I have sung before it's fatal?
Though all my words are weak and tired
Your love still blossoms like a fire
My betrayal
Is it fatal?
Weak and tired
Feel the fire
I know I cannot reach the heavens
Wearing a harlot's heart, cursing your name
But you take the curse, give me the blessing
Bearing my death and shame
I feel it burning like a fire
O' love that will not let me go
How many songs of my betrayal
Feel it burning like a fire
Will I have sung before it's fatal?
Won't let me go
Though all my words are weak and tired
Feel it burning like a fire
Your love still blossoms like a fire
Won't let me go
O' love that reaches from the heavens
To wretched, rebel hearts lost and alone
You took my curse
Gave me your blessing
Giving me hope in death
