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.

Great to see this as a topic.

This song from DC Talk has always spoken to me:

 

The only 'religious' music I'll ever listen to is roots reggae. Not my religion (I don't do religions), but love the music.... 

@larsman It's a good bet you've listened to plenty of religious music and just not realized the religious connotations. Which I pretty much ignore being secular but still love the music.

@jond - You are right - I am a JGB fan too, and went to loads of their shows here in San Francisco, and Jerry always liked to do the occasional soulful or spiritual number; he played 'My Brothers and Sisters' at every show during the late 80's and 90's, I think. I did realize the religious connotations, of course, just didn't pay that part no nevermind! And of course there were also a lot of soul/r&b songs with some religious stuff in 'em.
