im playing a gig at my grandma's church picnic, i need some covers to do, prefferably with a Christian message but doesnt have to be, nothing hard, mellow is what we're looking for, we have acoustic guitar, piano, bass, and drums, 10 points to the best suggestion!

You didn't mention what genre, so I'll just name a few ideas that I personally like:
-Play some jazz/R&B song by Lisa Gungor... she's an indie Christian jazz artist and the wife of worship leader Michael Gungor. Her songs Change Coming and Canvas are soooo right for a lazy autumn afternoon. Full songs to be listened to at www.lisagungor.com
-Songs from Caedmon's Call's new album are also fab! I like Great and Mighty, We Give Thanks, and the remelodised version of the hymn I Surrender All. Five stars! Listen to five full songs at www.inthecompanyofangels2.com
If you're more into rock material, you might like these artists/bands:
-Todd Agnew (famous for his remelodised version of Amazing Grace called Grace Like Rain) www.toddagnew.com
-Plumb (my favourite song is Motion) www.plumb.info
-Jars of Clay --pick any song, it'll do!
-Tommy Walker --rockin' worship
-Jimmy Eat World! not a Christian band but lots of great songs with a positive message. Try Sweetness or 23 www.myspace.com/jimmyeatworld
-Udora... an indie alternative band that plays good rock. Liberty Square and Beautiful Game are great songs with a positive message. www.myspace.com/udora

"Peace Train" or "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens
"Teach Your Children" by Crosby Stills & Nash
"Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" by George Harrison
"Let it Be" by The Beatles
"Redemption Song" by Bob Marley (Joe Strummer & Johnny Cash covered this)
"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies
If you have two vocalists, you can try Indigo Girls songs: "Closer to Fine," "Prince of Darkness," "Secure Yourself"
