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

        Ghost by Ella Henderson

         

        "I keep going to the river to pray

        'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain

        And at most I'm sleeping these demons away

        But your ghost, the ghost of you

        It keeps me awake"......

            Oh, that reminds me of this song - - -

             

            American Pie - Don McLean

             

            Did you write the book of love
            And do you have faith in God above
            If the Bible tells you so?
            Do you believe in rock and roll?
            Can music save your mortal soul?
            And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

             

            So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
            Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
            'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
            Oh and as I watched him on the stage
            My hands were clenched in fists of rage
            No angel born in Hell
            Could break that Satan's spell
            And as the flames climbed high into the night
            To light the sacrificial rite
            I saw Satan laughing with delight
            The day the music died
             
            And in the streets the children screamed
            The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
            But not a word was spoken
            The church bells all were broken
            And the three men I admire most
            The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
            They caught the last train for the coast
            The day the music died
            “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Jimi Hendrix

                  Take me to church by Hozier (Don't think he's really singing about Church- lol- but he's certainly doing his share of praying)

                   

                  "Take me to church 

                  I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

                  I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

                  Offer me that deathless death

                  Good God, let me give you my life"......

                            Saved by Bob Dylan

                             

                            I was blinded by the devil

                            Born already ruined

                            Stone-cold dead

                            As I stepped out of the womb

                            By His grace I have been touched

                            By His word I have been healed

                            By His hand I've been delivered

                            By His spirit I've been sealed"......

                                    If God Will Send His Angels - U2

                                     

                                    Song meaning:

                                     

                                    "It's a song of quiet anger at the way the world is and God's failure to intervene," Bono explains in the book U2 by U2. "A few people around me had experienced some awfulness that they just couldn't forgive God for. Personally, I don't look at the world as a place where God is in charge of everything that happens. I think it is up to us how much we let God into our lives. It's a world of wild and unexpected winds, earthquakes, and tsunamis where accidents can happen. I don't blame God for them. I think this is what happened when we threw God out of the garden, which is my own interpretation of what happened in Eden!"

                                     

                                     

                                    I can relate to what he is speaking about.

                                     

                                     

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