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.

There are 10 or 12 really great songs from Dylan's 3 album Christian period.

When the greatest lyricist of the last 100 years writes something, it's likely to be ground-breaking.

There are a few duds as well but hey, he was totally committed.

Slow Train Coming is right up there, helped along by Knopfler's arrangement and his inspired noodling on guitar.

 

"Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum. Also the best fuzz guitar lick of all time.

"Many Rivers To Cross" Also from "The Harder They Come" soundtrack and the best reggae album of all time.

"Ave Maria" by Aaron Neville. If you don't hear the voice of God on this cut, you probably will never hear it at all. Unless Mavis Staples is at the mic.

Alison Krauss  100 miles or more, but she has so many more great very well done religious songs
