I've seen a lot of covers and I can conclude that Hozier is the only person that can sing this song.

[iLL]

This is how I imagine Jesus would sound if he was singing, and I'm not even religious

[Ceridewn]

I have to say, hands down, this is one man I would love to meet and shake hands with, and would absolutely love to hear sing live. His voice is so rich, and soulful, like a wonderful wine or high quality chocolate for the ears, just melts and soothes everything. So many artists today depend too much on auto tuning everything, this is what deep deep talent sounds like.

[schukisfast]

I almost died. I came home from the hospital after 2 weeks in ICU and cried like a baby in my wifes arms listening to this, just being thankful to be alive. Thanks dude.

[fuze]

director: "how much of autotune?"

Hozier: "no"

[garylibra]

To the guys at Naked Noise...thank you so much for putting these up for our pleasure!  To see/hear him singing solo - with just the guitar and his voice is an affirmation of his true talent that we fans already realized.  And for those who may have just discovered Hozier by watching this, they now know he is the real deal.  The setting was perfection and the production quality was superb.  Thanks again for this amazing treat.  You guys never fail to impress.  

[takahasi_a]

He is so intelligent and creative and talented. I'm in love.

[devashrikulkarni]

The difference between his speaking voice and singing voice amazes me. His speaking voice is so soft and calm whereas his singing voice is surprisingly powerful with slight vulnerability. Beautiful. 🤍

[goldanna]

People who 'unlike' this video are just haters. This is true talent..

[schmooncakes]

Love everything about this, the song, the singer, the filming.

[akhelundar]

Spoiler alert: Hozier is jesus. Im not even religious.

[tesspimsner]

Hozier's voice is beautiful, it resonates through you.

[brycephillips]

Probably best voice/original artist I have heard make it big.

[futuropasado]

He has a magic richness in his voice, has to be the irish thing, I love
them. Im a Van Morrison fan and I recently know Hozier because of
his Sweet Thing cover... Amazing talent and voice, truly.

[sorrowsmiles]

Chills. His voice is incredible. The song is amazing. The original video is haunting...

[bobbyoellerich]

I'm in love with this song.  His voice and songwriting remind me of a young Elton John.  Simply incredible!

[beachpeach]

I've been listening to a lot of covers of this, and there is really nothing better than the original.

Lyrics

My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen, Amen, Amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen, Amen, Amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
