REM's Losing My Religion, because of the depth and the words.

I love that everybody on this thread gets the spirit of what I'm looking for. Thank you!

Godspell has a couple others - "God Save the People", "Beautiful City" (either the original or the remake); I'm not as enamored of "Day By Day", though a lot of people like it. And while we're on the subject, "Morning Glow" from Pippin and "For Good" from Wicked.

"Affirmation" by Savage Garden is a guilty pleasure that speaks to me that way. So does "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk.

"Could We Start Again, Please" from JCSS?

Billy Joel's "River of Dreams" maybe goes with the theme. And while Rush is not really strong on this topic, you might consider "Mission" or "Animate".

silkiemom points out I forgot "God Save the Outcast" or "Heaven's Light" from Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I knew there'd be a lot of stuff from musicals I wasn't thinking of, so this is great! Thank you both!

Oh, River of Dreams, I meant to get that on there, in fact, as I own it, and I just spaced it. Thank you! And what a lot of terrific suggestions, thank you twice!

"Moses and Miners" which is sort of a mixture of the two:

I have the actual playlists from when I posted these on LJ, but don't have time to look them up right now. Tag is "mixes."

OOOOH thank you!

I really like k.d. lang's version of "Hallelujah."

I must absolutely second this. k.d. lang's "Hallelujah," especially the live version from the 2010 Winter Olympics, is absolutely fantastic.

I'd also put in a vote for Dwight Yoakam's "It Is Well With My Soul," though I will admit Dwight is not an artist who appeals to everyone.

You might also consider Queen's "My Life Has Been Saved," Richard Marx's "Have Mercy," and Josh Turner's "Long Black Train" and "For the Love of God."
