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.
Got me running away from you, not knowing what I should do,
All my thoughts are so blown apart, what I need is a brand new start,
You gotta dig down inside you,
Can you dig down inside?
Oh, lift him up, lift him up,
It's what you gotta do,
Lift him up, lift him up.
Walking home through the park today, had a friend who was blown away,
Some bible-slinger with guts to spare, a testimony that he could share,
You gotta dig down inside,
You gotta dig down inside you,
Down inside.
Lift him up, lift him up,
It's what you gotta do,
Lift him up, lift him up,
It's what you gotta do.
Standing back from the crowd is fine if you don't wanna waste my time,
All alone in a loner's world - ten million more feel the same old way,
You gotta dig down inside,
You gotta dig down inside you.
Oh, lift him up, lift him up,
It's what you gotta go,
Lift him up, lift him up,
Yeah, it's what you gotta go,
Lift him up, lift him up (n-n-n-yeah)
Lift him up,
It's what you gotta go,
Lift him up,
Oh, oh.
