After checking thru all our topics, I could not find one about songs about prayer and religion. There are, I think, a lot of rock songs out there that fall into this category. The song can have it in the title or in a verse, talking about prayer or religion. We should have fun with this! I will start with a fav of mine:

"Losing my religion" by REM

          Imagine by John Lennon has been a popular song choice for this thread. Such a beautiful song

              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.

                          The inner light by the Fab 4️⃣

                           

                          "Without going out of my door

                          I can know all things of earth

                          Without looking out of my window

                          I could know the ways of heaven

                          The farther one travels

                          The less one knows"......

                                  Deep in the darkest night
                                  I send out a prayer to you
                                  Now in the world of light
                                  Where the spirit free of lies
                                  And all else that we despised
                                  They've forgotten all about God
                                  He's the only reason we exist

                                    1) Trouble In Paradise: Johnny Maestro & The Crests

                                    2) Devil Or Angel: Clovers, Bobby Vee

                                     

                                    Are they about religion? Probably a stretch, but they both involve devils and angels...

                                            That reminds me, The Lettermen had a beautiful a cappella version of this song in the late 60's. Their harmonies still give me goosebumps.
