Take me to church sang by Sinead O’Connor has a very catchy tune especially the first three lines of the refrain.
[…]
Oh, take me to church
I’ve done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah, take me to church
[…]
It’s not so much that I have done so many bad things; it’s the bad things that people did to the world that hurts. It has nothing to do with the church either just life in general. You know, the existential angst that is part of living.
When I am hurting mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually, I take refuge in a church. Even if it’s not a catholic church, it does not matter to me. Even if it’s a temple, I will still go in, sit in the quiet, calm myself down and talk to my invisible God.
In a church, temple, mosque, forest; they are more than an oasis. It’s a place for me to connect and replenish my spiritual needs.
Here’s the song. It’s just a song with a catchy beat. But if you want something deeper, I found the song at Friar Musings and there he wrote more about Sinead.
Enjoy.
when we are hurting it’s difficult (and) to understand where God is. I know that God is using her to educate not just the Catholic but as well as the whole world.
Photographs and Memories 
I haven’t heard of Sinead O’Connor for the longest time, and hadn’t heard this song before, she’s So talented!
That she is. A natural born artist. I think she’s lying low for being a priestess.
Thank you seeker. I’ve always loved Sinead O’Connor, and haven’t listened to her music since Lion and the Cobra. This is a beautiful song.
Hi Bruce. You are the second person that mentioned Lion and the Cobra. Never knew her at all. I will definitely listen to this at YouTube. I am now hooked onto this song. Thank you.
🙂 I’ve listened to it 3 times in the past 1/2 hour. I really like it too.
Amen! Thanks for sharing my friend. God blesses.
You are welcome, Noel. Glad to be of service to God. Blessings to you as well.
Sinead has always been worth watching and listening to…
This is the first time I’ve listened to her song.She’s good.
I love her first album, way back in the eighties “The Lion and The Cobra”
I will check this out in YouTube, Jim. Thank you. I have been playing her song all day. Just love it. Now the lyric on this is quite interesting. I wonder why she wrote it. Thank you, again.
