Hey Guys,
just trying to make a playlist of secular songs that are spiritually uplifting.
Here is what I got so far:

Paula Fuga - Country Road (Feat. Jack Johnson)
Bob Marley - High Tide or Low Tide
Bob Marley - Thank You Lord
Jars of Clay - Flood (although they are more a crossover band)
The Beatles - Let It Be
Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly Now
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What a Wonderful World
Matisyahu - King Without a Crown
Matisyahu - One Day
Josh Groban - You Raise Me Up

Can you guys think of any?

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam

Actually, one song I found was Linkin Park's [i]​What I've Done[/i] that was part of the Transformers soundtrack.

Also a big one that is tied up with family, land, culture, and religion for me is Marc Broussard's [i]Home[/i].

I don't remember that lyrics well, but I think the "Halleluah" song.


My memory of these songs is vague, so bear with me. They are from the days when I listened to pop-rock. :)



"In Your Eyes" Peter Gabriel (but it is too rocky)

"The Finer Things" Steve Winwood

"Fields of Grey" and "Walk in the Sun" Bruce Horsnby

"Circle of Life" Elton John

"Testify" Phil Collins

"One" U2

"Greatest Love of All" Whitney Houston


There's more, better ones, but I can't think of them yet...
