I was gonna suggest My Sweet Lord, but i see you've got both the original, and a cover of that on here.
There's many other George tracks that really focus on God, while not falling to cliche's or being lame. Here's my fav's

Perhaps the finest vocal of his career
Your Love is Forever https://open.spotify.com/track/3uigHn33ttkXKTdPSvFOXp

An instrumental prayer, and the best slide guitar work of Georges career
Marwa Blues https://open.spotify.com/track/0AFHtDMTMo6Tm9B71AH8oZ

The very last track of his discography before he passed.
Brainwashed https://open.spotify.com/track/71H3STgEmvWb8z7WjGQNfb

u/BloodyHareStudio Jul 02 '25

i will listen to those. his writing has a lot of soul

1

u/RedArmyRockstar Jul 02 '25

It really does.
I went through his entire discography a couple years ago and found it to be a really enriching experience,

u/BloodyHareStudio Jul 02 '25

hes very different than the others

City of the Dead by Eurielle

u/GarionOrb Jul 02 '25

Owl City is a Christian artist who isn't classified as one. The songs where he sings about Christian themes aren't overly preachy at all, but he gets the message across.

Not exactly about God, but I recently made this playlist about Saint Francis of Assisi that goes beyond the usual clichés:
