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

Some days I pray for soul

Some days I just pray to the God of sex

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

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better

To cut through all his worn out leather

Gabriel - Joe South

Preachers shout while sinners sin and old ladies cry
Fightin' causes, wavin' flags and God knows why
Turnin' water into wine
And they throw your pearls before the swine
And yet you trust them not to bust your balloon
So let me skip a page
And wake up in the new age
And the sun will be my shadow at high noon

Oh, Gabriel, Gabriel
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn
Hey, hey, hey, hey Gabriel, Gabriel
Come on down to Atlanta and blow your horn
Now, now, now
Crowd is runnin' wild
And I feel like a motherless child
But give me just a little more time to get my people together
Sounds perfectly bluesy
One more time

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Jimi Hendrix
