Songs where a lover, or a romantic love, is described in hyper-religious terms

Biggest offender has got to be "How Deep Is Your Love," right?

I believe in you
you know the door to my very soul
you're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
you're my savior when I fall

The Brothers Gibb were describing the man from Galilee -- oh wait, no, just their girlfriends at the time.

This sort of things happens all the time. Favorite, or most embarrassing, examples of this?

You Got the Love by Candi Stanton and the Source. Great tune, but probably about Jesus.

Also Bring Me to Life by Evanescence.

Sorta fits:

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this **much** is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

He is my lord, He is my saviour and He rewards my good behavior
My secret soul, I know He's seen it He says, come here baby and kiss me like you mean it
He calls me baby, says kiss me like you mean it
He is my life and my salvation He's always right, He's always patient
I pinch myself It's like I'm dreaming it
He calls me baby, says kiss me like you mean it
He is my love, He's always been it
He calls me baby, says kiss me like you mean it

First thought, maybe not a 100% fit, but: The Pop Group - "She Is Beyond Good and Evil"

eight years pass...

I'm not sure where to link this, so I will here: songs of faith and devotion.
