Answer 1

Imagine by John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Answer 2

Avalon- You were there


I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Until You took his hand, and held on tight

'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger's snare
You were there, You were there always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there

So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
And just in time, You brought a lamb

'Cause You were there,
You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, you were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there

So haven't I learned that my ways
Aren't as high as Yours are
And You alone keep the universe
From crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
Not have understood You
There You were

Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
With Your last breath

You were there, You were there
During history's darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David's swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God

You were, You are and You will always be
The Risen Lamb of God

Answer 3

Ooooh, that's a tuff one. Music is my main passion, and, for me at least, there are SOOOO many choices. Even though I'm a Christian, not all of my favorite music is necessarily Christian music, either, which makes it even harder to answer your question.
Ahhh, the minutes are ticking by, here, titles are flicking through my brain....how do I answer this question?
I guess I'll have to choose the old Christian classic
"He Touched Me"
At least today. If you were to ask me again tomorrow, it might be something different, some vintage rock, maybe, since I am an original sixties flower child. Or some Christian rock, as in "Casting Crowns" or "Third Day". Or it might be a classical piece by Mozart, or maybe Handel's Messiah. Maybe a Country Western piece...or even something from Guns and Roses, maybe, like "Sweet Child of Mine"....(I'm a mother and a grandma, too, and that one always makes me think of my own little girls, even though I know that's not what the song is about)
Music speaks to me, in all sorts of different colors.
God bless you!

Answer 4

Many, many songs by Joy Division, particularly Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Answer 5

How about "Dear God" by XTC I think. Of course "Spirit in the Sky" comes to mind also - and Depeche Mode's "Blasphemous Rumors". Bagpipe music can be paritcularly spiritual and moving - particularly "Amazing Grace" at a funeral.

Peace!

Answer 6

Tool
Schizm

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers

I know the pieces fit...
I know the pieces fit...
I know the pieces fit...

Answer 7

There's many, actually. Just about anything by John Denver (for my inner hippie). The Rose by Bette Midler. Flowers never bend by Simon & Garfunkel. And believe it or not, a couple of drinking songs. Yes, really.

Answer 8

There was one once.

It was a song by Talib Kweli called won't you stay. It started off about this chick that he was in love with that kept telling him that it wasn't meant for them to be together. At the end of the verse he decides that it is time for him to move on.

I really needed to hear that song at that time.

Answer 9

I believe the song is from Nickelback or Hinder. It's called If Everyone Cared.

Answer 10

There is a song called "Kilkelly, Ireland" - it's a series of 'letters' a guy writes to his son who has emigrated to America - each one is about 10 years apart, and the son never returns. The last 'letter' is from the priest telling the son his father has died. I cry everytime I hear it.

I have no idea who sings it on the copy I have from an album called "Music from Matt Malloy's"
