Yep. Shrekelujah, which is a sexual song, is even used by low-information music ministers in church.
My S-in-L's mother had this played at his Father'S Funeral. My wife and I cringed inside. It was bad enough that the song referred to King David's desire, but it was much worse that my S-in-L's father had been a serial adulterer. Perhaps that's why she chose the song, but I believe she had no clue what it was about.
I had a friend post the sanitized version on FB-—it had been played at a church service and she was all weepy over how beautiful it was.
I posted,”I see that they didn’t use Cohen’s lyrics”-——she had no idea what I was referring to.

People think it's spiritual simply because it contains the word "hallelujah". What's even more ignorant is the use of such a maudlin tune for the Hallelujah, which is by definition an expression of rejoicing.
