Breathe-Raise your hands to heaven (80s song, great)
Evanescene-Bring me back to life (controversy on this one, christian community is amazed at how the lyrics can fit to a christian theme, band of course denies it)
REM-Losing my religion
U2 has quite a few biblical references in a lot of their songs. Bono has done some work with christian rock venues like 'Creation', etc. There is even a website dedicated to all their biblical references.
Someone mentioned Tori Amos. She also mentions God & religion often in her songs. She was raised by a preacher. Although, I don't think her song "God" would be appropriate, just like "Closer" wouldn't be either.
May I suggest going to a Christian bulletin board & asking opinions? like
www.belief.net or something.
Sounds like a nice thing to do for your friend, good luck.
