Roxy Music goes to church, "Psalm" from "Stranded."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SN4aqXCE0Y&feature=related

Lyrics:
Psalm
(Bryan Ferry)

"Try on your love
Like a new dress
The fit and the cut
Your friends to impress
Try on your smile -
Square on your face
Showing affection
Should be no disgrace
Try out your God
Hope He will send
Kindness from strangers
On whom you depend
Try on His coat
A mantle most fine
Myriad colours
His harmony-thine
Believe in me
Once seemed a good line
Now belief in Jesus
Is faith more sublime
Head in the clouds
But I can't see the Lord
Short of perfection
I'll try to be good
I'll stand at His gate
I'll wait for His sign
Then I'll walk in His garden
When it's my time
Drink from His cup
Hush now don't you cry
His quiet waters
Will never, never run dry
Nearing death's vale
He's here by my side
He leads me to paradise
A mountain so high
Don't be afraid
Just treasure His word
Singing His praises
I know that I'll be heard
He's gonna take you by the hand
He's gonna make you feel so good
Open up your eyes
And then you'll see all that you should
Forget all your troubles
You will feel no pain
He's all that you need
He's your everything
When I'm feeling all at sea
Deliverance is that distant shore
I will not be worried
Someday His house will be my home
For ever more"

I love it because it's spiritual and personal not judgemental of other beliefs. Yes, I was an atheist, but now I'm Christian. I never judge anyone on beliefs. It's what you actually do. So, please don't be mad at me, dear DUers, that I changed my religious/philosophical perspective again. I mean no disrespect to atheists or agnostics. All human beings should be treated with respect and dignity for the simple fact that they are human.
