For me it's Joan Osbourne's "what if god was one of us"
These can also be anti religeous songs...just needs to be a theistic theme....

But as much as people want to make xian rock out to be pussy music (which I have to agree it is), there are some gems out there. Barnabas - Approaching Light Speed and Feel the Fire are amazing albums. Rez band was good for a stretch. And the first LifeSavors album with Mark Krischak is a punk masterpiece in my opinion, regardless if the words make me throw up a little now.

I also like a lot of country music, which always has jesus or god references...

A couple of their religious tunes are "Hobo's Meditation" and "Farther Along".

I can't do the fancy voice-work that some soloists bring to it, but otherwise it has a relatively simple quality to it that I enjoy.

Kansas was never technically a christian band, but since Livgren was the best writer of the group, once he got religion, his lyrics did too.
