I listen to all kinds of music and lately so many songs are mentioning Jesus and God and stuff. Songs done by artists that are not considered "Christian" in genre ex: Diamond Rio, Sawyer Brown, Carrie Underwood etc. even some pop artists are talking about Jesus and God (in a good way!!) .. So tell me a line in a song that has touched you. Please include the song title and artist if you know it. I'm going to make a webpage of all the answers..

" Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood
Jesus Take the wheel, take it from my hands
cause I cant do this on my own....im letting go
Give me one more chance, save me from this road
im on......Oh Jesus take the wheel
The reason this song touches me so much is that to me it talks to me about getting to the point where you are broken and just cant live like you have been and know something has to change and you finally reach that point and say Jesus just take over I cant do it anymore.....I need you please save me.
Ive been to that point and Ive cried out to Jesus " please just take over I cant do it on my own anymore I need you lord"........if you havent ever been to this place in your life yet its very hard to explain it to someone ....except to say when that load is lifted ,things start to change in ways you never realized they could.
Im alive and all because " Jesus took the wheel" and has steered me where I am now and I will continue to let him steer me anywhere He wants me to go.

Rush, "Sweet Miracle" (2002). Neil Peart was an agnostic before the death of his child in 1997 and then his wife in 1998. Judging by his lyrics, I'd say he's fully atheist now and still enjoys life since remarrying, regardless of how meaningless existence is.
One doesn't need religion to find purpose, joy or beauty.
I wasn't walking on water
I was standing on a reef
When the tide came in
Swept beneath the surface
Lost without a trace
No hope at all
No hope at all
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Of life
I wasn't walking with angels
I was talking to myself
Rising up to the surface
Raging against the night
Starless night
Oh, sweet miracle
Love's sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Of life
I wasn't praying for magic
I was hiding in plain sight
Rising up from the surface
To fly into the light
Oh, sweet miracle
Love's sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Of life

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
Time
(Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour) 7:06
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

An old Iron Maiden song with the beginning having a passage from an English Hymnal from the Piece of Mind album, a song called Revelations:
"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
I think this part of the song makes even a good prayer for today, in these times, any time. I have always remembered this preamble to the song........

I have to say that Creed is the biggest band that talks a lot about GOD, Jesus and The Bible but aren't classified as a christian band. My Own Prison stand out the most to me with the line
"I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison"
Creed even means to believe.
The song Believe it or Not by Nickelback also talks about religion and finding faith in GOD. I hope these help.

Who can say for certain
Maybe your still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory so clear
Deep In the stillness
I can hear you speak
Your still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are mine
Forever love
and you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonite to see you smile
If only for a while to know your there
A breathes not far away to where you are.
The song is "To Where You Are"
It is sung by Josh Groban
My family has suffered a couple of devastating losses over the last few years and this is the song we listen to to remember them. Let me know when the site is up.

The most meaningful to me is "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me. Even though they are a Christian group, that song was a big crossover hit in pop music too. I like a lot of others too, but that is the best.

Faith Hills "There will come a Day " was awesome
"In the Glory of his Amazing Grace"
Brooks and Dunns "Believe"
"I raise my hands, bow my head, finding more and more truth, in the words written in red, they tell me that theres more to life than just what I can see, I believe.
And Van Zant "Help Sombody" is really great.
"Dont get you eye on the bottle, and great with the Man, fight you fights, find your grace in all the things that you cant change, and Help Sombody if you can, and get right with the Man"
Tim Mcgraws "Drugs or Jesus."
"We follow the roads that lead us, to Drugs or Jesus, I need you Jesus."
Sara Evans "Youll always be my Baby"
