Songs about Prayer and/Religion

[BeatleloverKT]

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

Livin' on a prayer by Bonjovi

[MaVolta]

Needles and Pins - The Searchers

I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide

He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the mire and clay

Continuing with the amazing George Harrison:

Awaiting on you all

"By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free

The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see

Chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free

The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see"......
