There's a lot of songs I like about God, the spirit and all that great stuff, one of which is "The Spirit In the Sky"  by Norman Greenbaum:

Mars Hill = Asylum

 Holy God The short one.

Good idea, Fisher.  Nice to have a positive thread once in a while.

In Christ Alone

From the Inside Out

God of Wonders

Show me your Glory

faxxer, do you have a link to that one?

I love Rob Bell -- writes some decent books.

Here's another one I like, by Todd Agnew called "This Fragile Breath"video.google.com/videoplay

John Lennon - Imagine

"Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace"

Nice one, Sabian :)

here's the one I heard was master Bruce Lee's favorite:

"And When I Die,"  Blood Sweat and Tears

I remember reading somewhere they played it at his funeral.

I may believe that God made the earth for bumper sticker ideas he's still a great whatever.

That gave me chills Paulscott.

One that does that for me to this day is "My God" by Jethro Tull:

here's a cool live one:

Lyrics

"My God"

People -- what have you done --
locked Him in His golden cage.
Made Him bend to your religion --
Him resurrected from the grave.
He is the god of nothing --
if that's all that you can see.
You are the god of everything --
He's inside you and me.
So lean upon Him gently
and don't call on Him to save you
from your social graces
and the sins you used to waive.
The bloody Church of England --
in chains of history --
requests your earthly presence at
the vicarage for tea.
And the graven image you-know-who --
with His plastic crucifix --
he's got him fixed --
confuses me as to who and where and why --
as to how he gets his kicks.
Confessing to the endless sin --
the endless whining sounds.
You'll be praying till next Thursday to
all the gods that you can count.

This one was on the Inspirational Soundtrack to the Dreamworks movie about Moses called "The Prince of Egypt."

It's called "I Am" by Donnie McClurkin:

Lyrics

Verse 1
Come now and see this mystery.
Remove your shoes, bow down,
where you stand right now is holy ground.
The fire burns, sit at my feet and learn,
as I reveal my plan, and I tell you who I am.

Chorus
I Am, I Am,
I'm the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

I Am, I Am,
and I've chosen you to set my people free;
go now and set them free.

Verse 2
Some will not hear, others will fear,
because the enemy has said
before I let them go I'd rather see them dead.
But in that hour, I will reveal My power through you,
so that all may see and when they ask you,
tell them what you know of Me.

Chorus

Bridge
I give you heaven's edge
and I give you privilege,
where others know My ways,
I will come and speak with you
I will always be with you
Dont you fear
Know that I will be right here

Chorus

I'm not very religious but I do love this song

www.youtube.com/watch

hey if religion helps lift people out of depression or trauma or something, i'm all for supporting it.

I'm not in any way religious either, but does Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" count?

hell, yeah, Kobie. I LOVE that tune. here he is doing it live (I love live stuff when I can find it).

www.youtube.com/watch

"Hallelujah"

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Now something from the days when I uses to dance with da witches of Fairfield....

I'll always be a Jewish Christian with a Pagan heart :)

Another Jethro Toll song "Ring Out, Solstice Bells"

www.youtube.com/watch

Now is the solstice of the year,
Winter is the glad song that you hear.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Have the lads up ready in a line.
Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

Join together beneath the mistletoe.
By the holy oak whereon it grows.
Seven druids dance in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

Praise be to the distant sister sun,
Joyful as the silver planets run.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.
Ring out those bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Ring on, ring out.
Ring on, ring out.

For those who think God is a pansy, here's a song that might change your mind.

The Fury

Where is the promise of His coming, All things continue just as we desire

They have forgotten the ancient world, So once by water now by fire

(After seven years, no more tears)

The Fury waits above the sky, the Lord of hosts will purify

On wings of fire, He will appear, as the end is drawing near

And if those days had not been shortened, no flesh would survive

He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but with their sin He will not strive

(After seven years, no more tears)

The Fury waits above the sky, the Lord of hosts will purify

And His redeemed are justified, their blood avenged and satisfied

-Instrumental break- (and visual and sound effects added by the maker of the video)

The Fury waits above the sky, the Lord of hosts will purify

He pours His wrath upon the earth, to His kingdom giving birth

BEST...VIDEO...EVER!

Immediately blogged!

Thank you!

This one always makes me cry.

Suo Gan

Sleep my baby, at my breast,
’Tis a mother’s arms round you.
Make yourself a snug, warm nest.
Feel my love forever new.
Harm will not meet you in sleep,
Hurt will always pass you by.
Child beloved, always you’ll keep,
In sleep gentle, mother’s breast nigh.
Sleep in peace tonight, sleep,
O sleep gently, what a sight.
A smile I see in slumber deep,
What visions make your face bright?
Are the angels above smiling,
At you in your peaceful rest?
Are you beaming back while in
Peaceful slumber on mother’s breast?
Do not fear the sound, it’s a breeze
Brushing leaves against the door.
Do not dread the murmuring seas,
Lonely waves washing the shore.
Sleep child mine, there’s nothing here,
While in slumber at my breast,
Angels smiling, have no fear,
Holy angels guard your rest.

Here's my favorite.
