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.

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.

I do not listen to religious songs on my home system.  If I want religious music, there are churches everywhere

It took me a couple of decades to realise they snuck it into there using like a dog whistle.

 

Others songs of their’s are more apparent, but not overly “in our face”:



 

Some great Christian artists like Josh Garrels and Jon Foreman. Check out Josh’s Jacaranda and Over Oceans recordings.  Jon Foreman’s Limbs & Branches. 

Interesting so many reference Elvis. At the time many Christian leaders thought his songs were referencing CRT. Oops, I meant to say they thought he was corrupting the youth with gyrations and pelvic thrusts.
