What are your top five "religious" Prince songs?

One of the things I love about Prince is that he is so spriritual, despite the JW thing. I love how free he is to express his love for God. So what are your favorite spiritual/religious tracks from the artist formerly known as one who did not practice any organized religion? Here's mine:
1. The Rainbow Children
2. The Work Pt. 1
3. I Would Die 4 U
4. Let's Go Crazy
5. The Cross

1. Still Would Stand all Time.
2. Elephants and Flowers
3. Eye Know
4. One of Us (cover)
5. God (instrumental)

This order varies by the second!! wink
The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else!

It's interesting but we really don't hear 'religion' /Christian theology or straight forward spiritual/relgious songs/ideas until Purple Rain (not including the Our Father prayer in Controversy)

and never on any protege albums

1.) I Wish U Heaven [Lovesexy]
2.) God the Dance Electric [Purple Rain Bside]
3.) 4 the Tears In Your Eyes
4.) Power Fantastic [Dream Factory outtake]
5.) Everywhere [Rainbow Children]

It's from Revelation 5:5 and refers to Jesus Christ as a descendant from the line of David. Can also be cross referenced with Gen 49:9 with Jacob's prophecy concerning his 4th son, Judah.

4 the tears in your eyes
HOLY RIVER
the word
Power fantastic
Elephants and flowers

I loove Prince's spiritual side...it is sad the way society can be when you speak the word...he has uplifted me in soo many ways...Thank you!!!!!Late at night, when the world is sleeping
U r frightened, 'cause the Power's creeping
In your room is something u're afraid of
Life or doom is what this feelings made of
Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need




and please dont forget still will stand all time!!!
Marry me 2day and 2night we'll make love until the world stops turning

Amen, Right On, and "Yeah, That!"

You're right... some people just don't get it.

I feel like a lot of his songs could be read in a religious context, like "I Would Die 4 U" or "Paisley Park"...

As far as explicitly religious songs,

1. The Cross
2. Temptation

Power Fantastic is so interesting because he could be talking about a huge spiritual experience or sexual desire (which in a lot of Prince's songs go hand in hand)

the lyrics to Shockadelica are on the same lines as Power Fantastic
almost like P F is coming from a God standpoint and Shockadelic from a She Devil standpoint
