OT: Songs that reference "Religious" or "Spiritual" things

[nwhoopfan]

This band is interesting. Found some mainstream success, they were all over MTV for a while in the mid 2000s. Many thought they were a secular band. They were a self described Christian band. I guess some of the lyrics are subtle enough they can be interpreted different ways. It's definitely confessional style rather than gospel.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well, why not. As far as I know the only overtly Christian band that was right in the thick of the 80s hair metal era (I'm sure there were others, but they were in their own niche, not mainstream).
