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.
The father of lies
Is coming to steal
Kill, and destroy
All my hopes of being good enough
I hear him saying
Cursed are the ones who can't abide
He is right
Hallelujah, he's right
The devil is preaching
The song of the redeemed
That I am cursed and gone astray
I cannot gain salvation
Embracing accusation
Could the father of lies
Be telling the truth of God to me tonight?
If the penalty of sin is death
Then death is mine
I hear him saying
Cursed are the ones who can't abide
He is right
Hallelujah, he's right
The devil is preaching
The song of the redeemed
That I am cursed and gone astray
I cannot gain salvation
Oh the devil's singing over me an age old song
That I am cursed and gone astray
Singing the first verse so conveniently over me
He's forgotten the refrain, Jesus saves
He redeemed me from the curse of the law
