Jesus, God and Dave Matthews


I have heard a lot of discussion lately about what songs Dave Matthews has written with religious references. So being the dedicated fan I am, here is a list of songs I have found with some sort of reference to a higher power.
Grouped by Album:
Remember Two Things
Minarets
Seek Up
Christmas Song+
Crash
Too Much
Drive In, Drive Out
Before These Crowded Streets
Last Stop+
Spoon+
Everyday
What You Are
Mother Father
Busted Stuff
Grey Street
You Never Know
Raven+
Big Eyed Fish
Bartender+
Unreleased Songs
JTR
Dreamed I Killed God
Deed Is Done

+ - Direct Jesus or cross reference.
As you can see the most recent stuff has more references, just take a listen to the Busted Stuff album and you are blasted with it. A couple of songs while very spiritual in nature were left off the list i.e. Lie In Our Graves and The Stone. Maybe he is making his move towards Christian Rock. Well there you have it.

There�s no God above
No Hell below
It�s here with us
It�s up to us

-David John Matthews (Mother, Father)
