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

Was it somebody from above

Surely he must know all the rules

Knowledge not meant for mortal fools"......

Just want to say that during this horrible time we're all going through, we need the power of prayer more than ever! Praying that everyone stays safe and well and has enough toilet paper to get through this crisis!! 🙏🙏

A Drunkards Prayer-Chris Stapleton

When I get drunk, and talk to God
I say I'm sorry for all the things I'm not
I mean every word I say
And I promise I can change
When I get drunk, and talk to God

When I talk to God I tell him why we're through
I tell him all the things I did and didn't do
I say I can't be alone
He said "son you're on your own"
'Cause when I talk to God I tell him why we're through

I wish that I could go to church but I'm too ashamed of me
I hate the fact it takes a bottle to get me on my knees
And I hope he'll forgive the things you ain't forgot
When I get drunk, and talk to God

When I talk to God I thank him for the time
All those precious years that you were mine all mine
And I know he's a busy man
He'll help me if he can
So when I talk to God, I thank him for the time

I wish that I could go to church but I'm too ashamed of me
I hate the fact it takes a bottle to get me on my knees
And I hope he'll forgive the things you ain't forgot
When I get drunk, and talk to God

Oh when I get drunk, and talk to God

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.

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...

As I lay me down by Sophie B. Hawkins

"Now, as I lay me down to sleep

This I pray

That you will hold me dear

Though I'm far away

I'll whisper your name into the sky

And I will wake up happy".......

Really want to be with you
Really want to see you, Lord

All Those Years Ago - George Harrison

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
