Songs about Prayer and/Religion

Here's one that might surprise some folks. Years and years ago there was a Christian rock metal song by, believe it or not, Black Sabbath, called After Forever. It is about the singer finding God and when he gets to that part it is great. The music is really metal and loud and even hurts my hair and my eyelashes but the second half of the song has some inspirational lyrics.

Heaven Help Us All - Stevie Wonder

Imagine. John Lennon.

If God Will Send His Angels - U2

Song meaning:

"It's a song of quiet anger at the way the world is and God's failure to intervene," Bono explains in the book U2 by U2. "A few people around me had experienced some awfulness that they just couldn't forgive God for. Personally, I don't look at the world as a place where God is in charge of everything that happens. I think it is up to us how much we let God into our lives. It's a world of wild and unexpected winds, earthquakes, and tsunamis where accidents can happen. I don't blame God for them. I think this is what happened when we threw God out of the garden, which is my own interpretation of what happened in Eden!"

I can relate to what he is speaking about.

Bartender. Dave Matthews Band

Mrs. Robinson: S&G (Heaven holds a place for those who pray).
