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 was lost in a dream, I staggered and blinked in love's silver haze
I could see only you from day into night, and night back to day
And then the fog, it lifted up, and everything grew clear
And then I knew what must be done, and then the time drew near
Now I'm moving up where I belong
And I'm through pretending I'm not strong
Stepping out into the morning light
The future never looked so bright
I was out of my head, cold and removed I'd gaze at the scene
As I looked down at us I saw two of you with darkness between
But now the chains that bound me tight have fallen off at last
And I can walk, and I can run, and move beyond the past
Now I'm moving up where I belong
And I'm through pretending I'm not strong
Stepping out into the morning light
The future never looked so bright
Spreading out my wings I learn to fly
Soaring on my own across the sky
I never knew how good it felt to be
Just me, just me!
This is where I start, this is where I will begin
Rising from the ash, now I emerge in fire and wind
Flames like feathers grow, blossoming hot out from my skin
Lifting off from earth a white hot star is born again
Now I'm moving up where I belong
And I'm through pretending I'm not strong
Stepping out into the morning light
The future never looked so bright
Spreading out my wings I learn to fly
Soaring on my own across the sky
I never knew how good it felt to be
Just me, just me!
