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.
My wife was sick, so i prayed
But you decided to take her away
Or you weren't there at all
Was i fool who was talking to a wall
While she lay there waiting for death?
Uttering praise in her dying breath
She was faithful–now i'm faithless
You should have taken me in her place
I broke the silence of my broken heart with a question
“is there a reason?”
I don't recall falling asleep
Last night was the anniversary
I was at work–it's all that i have
To keep from going crazy in this empty house
Then a light came in the form of a man
I hit the floor and i lifted my hands
Then it told me the lord will come soon
To eat the passover in my extra room
I broke the silence of my broken heart with a question
“is there a reason?”
Are you really there?
Have i dreamed all of this up?
Is there a reason?
Are you really there?
If i make a space will you come fill it up?
Are you coming?
