Here’s a ping:)
Hell's Bells by AC/DC (that whole opening bell sequence is great)
I'd Do Anything For Love by Meat Loaf
Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum
Probably lots more... that's off the top of my head.
Highway to Heaven
My husband and I will be going to see Clint Black October 11 in Wichita and he sings a song that mentions the hereafter but not in a positive light I’m afraid.
In KILLIN TIME he talks about going to hell in an indirect way by saying that if he manages to drink himself to death, that is where he expects to go. Good song and has a real moral message but very very sad
“Parting Glass”
Traditional Irish
Sinead O’Connor actually does a very good version
Norman Greenbaum’s theology is rather odd. “Never been a sinner, never sinned” is just about the opposite of what Christianity teaches.
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door ~ Bob Dylan
Heaven-—Bryan Adams
“Just Like Heaven”, The Cure
Dem Golden Slippers
“No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus” (the reference to the hereafter is in the 3rd verse).

I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold...
The 2010 documentary film Babies followed four infants who were born into very different circumstances in Namibia, Mongolia, Tokyo, and San Francisco. There is no narration or dialogue from adults in the film, only the sounds babies make as they begin to discover the world into which they have been born. They coo and laugh when theyre happy; they cry when they are hurt or hungry. And all of them like milk! The fascination of the film lies in watching them grow.
As a baby craves milk, followers of Christ are to crave the pure milk of the Word that leads to spiritual growth. The apostle Peter says, Long to grow up into the fullness of your salvation; cry for this as a baby cries for his milk (1 Peter 2:2 tlb). Peter wrote to encourage a group of Christ-followers who had been scattered by persecution. He urged them to set aside feelings of anger and jealousy toward each other, along with talking one way and living another (v.1), and as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby (v.2).
The Lord invites us to drink all that we need from His bountiful supply. He loves to watch His children grow!
