We mustn't forget the alltime greatest hymm of praise ever--Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". A few more of my favorites:
Schubert's "Ave Maria" as performed by Marian Anderson.
"O Holy Night" performed by Pavarotti.
"Wayfarin' Stranger" --traditional--Emmylou Harris' version is best, IMO.
"You Raise Me Up"--Josh Groban.
"The 23rd Psalm"--Bobby McFerrin chants God into a woman "she leads me to green pastures," etc
"Pie` Jesu" --Sarah Brightman's version.
"Turn, Turn, Turn" (To everything, there is a season, etc) --music by Pete Seeger, words from the Book of Ecclesiastes, in the Bible.
"Gotta Serve Somebody" --Dylan spins Job's words, "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" I love love love Etta James' cover version.
"All Along the Watchtower" Dylan again, from the book of Isaiah.
Lots of Dylan songs, for that matter, and oh yeah, how many Leonard Cohen songs? "Story of Isaac"? "Joan of Arc"? "The Future"? "Coming Back to You" ?
Just an aside, I remember a while back, in the old newsgroup, some new guy logged on to say he loved the song "Hallelujah" but he was just wondering, who was this David guy Leonard mentioned?

(He didn't know who was bathing on the roof, either.) Another time, somebody was utterly mystified by the line "Give me Stalin, or St. Paul" ---wondered what the city in Minnesota had to do with anything. But maybe he was just being a wiseguy.
I have a lot of gospel & religious music in my pretty good collection of jazz & bluegrass & rock-- lots of Mahalia Jackson, Blind Boys of Alabama, tons of Gregorian chant, plus the antiphons of the twelfth-century saint, Hildegard Von Bingen (who, by the way, invented sheet music, which is why we have her music today.) I have to say I don't really care for most of the "Christian rock" on the radio, because it just isn't very good, IMO, musically or lyrically. I do like John Michael Talbot's deep musical meditations on the psalms, and Jennifer Knapp, modern religious singers that you just never hear on the radio.
Speaking of "Amazing Grace", the Blind Boys of Alabama do a wicked version set to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun."
Sorry if I get carried away--- I do love music of all kinds and it's exciting to know what other folks like. Thanks for sharing.
