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.

@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. 

@artemus_5 - I am a non-religious person, so perhaps there is such a thing. Of course, you may have some definition of 'religious' that would force me into being so unwillingly, but words can mean different things to different people. 

@artemus_5 - yes, I'm sorry - it's something I use quite often that you don't seem to be familiar with. It's called humor. But that's kinda what I'd expect. 

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

@bdp24 - I think I'd have gone with 'Highway to Hell' - I suppose that could be considered a 'religious song'! 🤣
