My Religion Lyrics

Who’s gonna save my soul
Nothing and nobody but you
Who’s gonna make me whole
Nothing and nobody but you
Can’t change me, sway me
Don’t know what to make of me
You got my devotion fanatical though it may be
I love your mind, heart, body and soul
You’re the only sanctuary that I know

I don’t need to stare at stained glass and a steeple
I don’t need to dress to impress all the people
Don’t need no priest, don’t need no pew
You are my religion, my religion is you
I don’t need no other purpose, you give me reason
Ain’t their business what I want to believe in
You are my priest, you are my truth
You are my religion, my religion is you

Who’s gonna heal my pain
Nothing makes me feel like you do
Who can drive my demons away
Nothing makes me heal like you do
I love your mind, heart, body and soul
You’re the only sanctuary that I know

I don’t need to stare at stained glass and a steeple
I don’t need to dress to impress all the people
Don’t need no priest, don’t need no pew
You are my religion, my religion is you
I don’t need no other purpose, you give me reason
Ain’t their business what I want to believe in
You are my priest, you are my truth
You are my religion, my religion is you

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me

Mind, heart, soul, and strength
Belong to you belong to me
Got my devotion, I will follow where you lead
I won’t be told what to feel and how to show
My love can’t be stopped
Love you any way I want

I don’t need to stare at stained glass and a steeple
I don’t need to dress to impress all the people
Don’t need no priest, don’t need no pew
You are my religion, my religion is you
I don’t need no other purpose, you give me reason
Ain’t their business what I want to believe in
You are my priest, you are my truth
You are my religion, my religion is you

You are my religion, my religion is you
You are my religion, my religion is you
You are my religion, my religion is you

I think this about how being a "religious" and "good" Christian won't gain your salvation. The only way you can truly be saved is by believing that Jesus died to save your soul from eternal separation and damnation and by following Him. You can do all the things that a "true" Christian is supposed to do, but if you haven't changed to follow Christ, that means nothing. Faith is found in Christ alone, not religion.

Song Meaning

I can understand why some will be offended by this song, but I think they are just trying express salvation through jesus without the unnecessary religious part that puts non-christians off.

I think what they're trying to say is that all he needs is the trinity (God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit) - without making it into a fashionable/ attractive-looking "religion"/religious thing. You can be a Christian without being in a church, without all the traditions and formal things.

Just my two cents :3

My Interpretation

I think it means that no one can tell me who i want to be with, you are my life, you are my friend and i love you, and no one can tell me that you're not my girlfriend/wife.

Song Meaning

@chubbynubz1 it's a song dedicated to Jesus. Not about human relationships.
