I've sung at a few different churches that were very strict about what they permitted during a service. At one wedding we were even leery about "One Hand, One Heart". At another, they didnt' really even like the idea of me singing a Michael W. Smith ( a contemporary Christian singer) song. Personally, I think it's great to take a "secular" song and put some "sacred" meaning behind it, but not everyone thinks that way.

I don't know if it counts but there is Listen to Jesus, Jimmy from Reefer Madness.

I'd recommend "A Simple Song" from Bernstein's "Mass". I sing it in churches all the time.
I also second the "Christmas Song" from Songs for a New World. I've heard it done in churches quite often and it always goes over well.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I've just recorded a new album called Broadway Songs of the Spirit which all have that spiritual component. Probably most are not the first songs that would pop into your head.
