This is a list of songs that, somewhere in the title or lyrics, contain a reference to Jesus. The songs do not necessarily contain either "Jesus" or "Christ", for example the words Lord or Saviour or the general context of the song can be used to imply Christ. Songs that refer only to God or some other higher entity, or which use the name of Christ only as an interjection, do not qualify for this list. Also excluded are songs and hymns that have not been covered by a famous singer. Finally, the list is limited to songs by secular artists; songs that refer to Jesus are the primary staple of gospel and contemporary Christian artists.
