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

            One of my favorites. This an old song. I remember my grandmother singing it

             

            Old Rugged Cross

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hHlVkUGDK4&feature=share

             

            On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
            The emblem of suff'ring and shame
            And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best
            For a world of lost sinners was slain

            So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
            Till my trophies at last I lay down
            I will cling to the old rugged Cross
            And exchange it some day for a crown

            Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world
            Has a wondrous attraction for me
            For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
            To bear it to dark Calvary

            So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
            Till my trophies at last I lay down
            I will cling to the old rugged Cross
            And exchange it some day for a crown

            Life's a Journey, not a Destination" Aerosmith

              "Some days I pray for silence

              Some days I pray for soul

              Some days I just pray to the God of sex

              and drums and rock 'n roll"......
