  I really liked the sound of this song:   "Take Me To Church" by Hozier  Then I started listening to the lyrics and it occurred to me that this was a Christian song.  So I looked it up and read the lyrics.  It certainly sounds like a Christian song:  "Take Me To Church"My lover's got humourShe's the giggle at a funeralKnows everybody's disapprovalI should've worshiped her soonerIf the heavens ever did speakShe's the last true mouthpieceEvery Sunday's getting more bleakA fresh poison each week'We were born sick,' you heard them say itMy Church offers no absolutes.She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'The only heaven I'll be sent toIs when I'm alone with you—I was born sick,But I love itCommand me to be wellAmen. Amen. Amen. Amen.[Chorus 2x:]Take me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knifeOffer me that deathless deathGood God, let me give you my lifeIf I'm a pagan of the good timesMy lover's the sunlightTo keep the Goddess on my sideShe demands a sacrificeDrain the whole seaGet something shinySomething meaty for the main courseThat's a fine looking high horseWhat you got in the stable?We've a lot of starving faithfulThat looks tastyThat looks plentyThis is hungry work[Chorus 2x:]Take me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knifeOffer me my deathless deathGood God, let me give you my lifeNo Masters or KingsWhen the Ritual beginsThere is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sinIn the madness and soil of that sad earthly sceneOnly then I am HumanOnly then I am CleanAmen. Amen. Amen. Amen.[Chorus 2x:]Take me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knifeOffer me that deathless deathGood God, let me give you my life    ...BUT, you should watch the video.  Now I'm REALLY confused...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYSVMgRr6pw 4951

  I'm thinking its about the way churches ask you to confess your sins but then use your sins against you. 4951

@DiverDude: Sorry man you go to those churches the ones I know ask you to redeem yourself and get right with God. Nobody's business of what sin you are asking forgiveness for. Maybe you should go to one of those instead of lumping all of them.

@DiverDude:  Hozier is an Indie Rock and Blues artist.  From time to time, some songs are crossover hits that are picked up by Christian radio, like Lifehouse's "Hanging By a Moment" but I don't think he himself has changed styles or genres. 4951

@BooBear:    That's pretty much what I got out of the video.  Which is not at all what I was expecting from reading the lyrics.  "She" is referred to several times but there is not a single "she" in the video. 4951

It certainly sounds like a Christian song:
 
@DiverDude:
 
Are you being sarcastic? This doesn't sound like a Christian song to me, anymore than Jewel's "Who will save your soul." I mean, it's talking about religion, but not in an agreeing way, as far as I can tell. (I didn't watch the video.)
 
@Donnatella: Crossover bands like Lifehouse, The Fray, Jars of Clay, Plumb... Their words definitely have a different feel than these. Don't you think? Or is it just me? 4951

@Mahm:   I thought it was a Christian song because of the chorus.  I hadn't really read the entire song's lyrics.    Take me to churchI'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your liesI'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knifeOffer me that deathless deathGood God, let me give you my life     After reading all of the lyrics.... I was confused as to what it was about because, in my head, I was still thinking it is a "Christian" song. 4951

This song is about sex. It's describing sex as a religious experience.
