Religious music for less than devout

There is also Pie Jesu done by many  and written by Andrew Lloyd Webber at the loss of his father, sung well by Anna Netrebko on her Souvenir album and by Sissel. Both can be heard on u-tube. A gorgeous song. 
O Magnum Mysterium written by Morton Lauridsen is also beautiful. It can be found on Lauridsen’s CD Lux Aeterna on the RCM label and also it is done by Robert Shaw on the CD named O Magnum Mysterium on Telarc.
Again, anything Bach. To Bach,” The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.”
I would self-label as devout, but, like n80, I really don’t like popular Christian music, though the old hymns still stir the heart.

Agree, n80, Mark Cohen’s line from Walking in Memphis is a great line in a great song.

n80, as far as the lyrics of Walking in Memphis go, I am not sure we will know. It is said that the song is autobiographical of Mark Cohen. The previous verse before the one you quoted talked about gospel being in the air, and that Reverend Greene would pray for you if you haven’t got a prayer. The guy in the song, autobiographical or not, was fairly depressed when he touched down in Memphis. My take would be that he became caught up in the gospel music being played,  in the atmosphere of the club, and in being asked to perform. It was for him a great night.  Mark Cohen is from a Jewish family in the mid-west (as per Wikipedia), and only he would know if the experience was transformative or not. Great song, though.
