15 Best Gospel Songs of All Time - No. 11. The Cross by Prince https://singersroom.com/w...-all-time/ “The Cross by Prince is a profound and spiritually charged song…Prince brings a unique blend of rock, funk, and gospel influences to this track, creating a powerful and introspective piece that stands out in his extensive catalog… [it] reflects Prince’s exploration of faith and spirituality, delivering a message of hope and redemption through its poignant lyrics.” Worth a discussion (again) of Prince’s gospel songs, if there truly are any? There may or may not be something coming! |

Again, The Cross would have been an easy hit in Europe, such as Sometimes It Snows In April. |

Loooool were religious rock songs big in the european charts of 87?
The cross is only gospel in a very broad sense. Lyrically, yes, melodically, but musically? Idk. Few actual gospel radio shows would play it. Pretty sure prince knew that. Christian rock songs might play it though. [Edited 6/3/24 20:24pm] |

Each is own but I always liked "Still Would Stand All Time". The movie "Graffiti Bridge", yes ghastly apart the music scenes. "Money won't buy U happiness but it'll pay 4 the search." |

Fortunately, I only saw that movie once so the music isn't entirely tainted by that mess. The further removed I am from that the better I can appreciate songs like "Still Would Stand All Time". I like it somewhat but I wouldn't call it- and certainly wouldn't call "The Cross"- gospel. |

I like The Cross a lot, especially the SOTT movie version - but I think Anna Stesia tops it easily.
Save me Jesus, I've been a fool
How could I forget that you are the rule You are my God, I am Your child From now on, for you I shall be wild I shall be quick I shall be strong I'll tell Your story, no matter how long We're just a play in Your master plan
Now, my Lord I understand
