HELP me find this song!! 2000-2007 Terry Wogan R2

[Elodie2019]

This is not going to be easy! I'm showing my age and will probably come across as a bit weird but here goes....

I used to listen to Terry Wogan on R2 on my way to work and he played this song almost every day for quite a while... Could have been any time 2000-2007 I've not heard it since but I loved it!

I have NO idea who sang it ... I don't know what it's called and I don't know any lines...

I'm not religious at all but It's got a 'Christian' message .all about God loving us etc. and how wonderful life is..it was quite repetitive at times.

It was by someone well known and I remember thinking at the time that the person had been part of a group at one point. Even as far back as the '70s
They had other songs with a religious message too but not all of them did...

I thought it was Van Morrison, Aaron Neville, James Taylor but I don't know...

That's all I've got!

I don't stand a chance finding it do I?!

Type in Terry Wogan on r2 playlist and it may come up

Is it Blacks Wonderful Life?

Not Silent running or Black!

I've got a faded memory of it being played at the later end of the dates I gave ... 2007.
A new song by this person... TW played it a lot when it was released.
I'm going to look at the charts for those years!

So you heard it all the time but can't even remember like 3 or 4 words?? Hmm

Yes! That's what I said in my OP.

Mhmm

Horehound

Are you trying to hum a suggestion for me?!

Loves Takes Time by Bryan Duncan?

Sadly not that one either!
😊

BBC iPlayer has episodes listed for all shows but they're not available to play. Very annoying!!

Put The Message In the Box, by either World Party or Brian Kennedy?

I keep looking at this thread to find out as I will know it. But why do people keep suggesting songs from way before 2006-2007?

Mhmm

Come on OP, I can Name That Tune in two!

Not World party but this is exactly the type of suggestion I need! -
A list of really famous bands or singer/songwriters who have been known to sing songs with a 'Christian' theme (Not exclusively though) ...

NOT Christian pop - Google keeps linking me to this genre!

With Arms Wide Open by Creed?

TSSDNCOP

Not as 'angsty' as the creed!
It was quite uplifting ! X

I love you all for trying to get it for me! Thank you!!
I've no idea of singer, title or words and you're all on it still! ❤️

This is why I love MN!

I guarantee it will be found, all the these lovely MNers will hunt it down, I have no clue about the song, but I'm so invested in it now, I need to know!

I have no idea but you've reminded me of a song I used in a radio feature in the 2000's which was about homelessness and now I can't remember it either

Me too!!!
I'm wasting my day looking through lists on here:

Any chance it could be more recent? Take me to church by Hosier?

If god was one of us, Joan Osborne?

Was it Robbie William's Bodies? It's upbeat and mentions God and Jesus.
