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?!
