Favorite religious song


Tons of choices; reggae, bluegrass, classical, country, hymns. 

Not so much jazz...though I do love Pete Fountain's " A Closer Walk With Thee"

My choice is sorta religious. "Mercy" Mary Gauthier.

The Rock opera Jesus Christ Super Star

Some of the best writing and singing ever.

Cheers

It’s not religious.

“It’s a rather joyous song,” Cohen said on the release of “Various Positions,” and, he argued often, a secular one. He wanted to push the words of praise back to Earth, “to indicate that Hallelujah can come out of things that have nothing to do with religion.” -  The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of ‘Hallelujah’ by Alan Light

 

Hallelujah-Leonard Cohen

How about Greg Brown’s “Jesus and Elvis”;

 

Jesus had some water, said “wine would be better yet”

Elvis picked up his guitar and made all the women wet.
