Suggestion for a church-friendly song or two?

Anyone got any ideas on a few songs that would be church friendly for a wedding? Heard Into My Arms (Nick Cave) done and that worked, even though it's about not believing in god.
As long as it sounds mellow and some bit holy/gospel.
I was thinking of I Shall Not Walk Alone by the Blind Boys of Alabama. Any other suggestions?

The xx-Angles maybe?

Snap! I was just about to say that. Only thinking 'as in love with you as I am' sounds a bit flirty in my mind. But that's probably just me.

A lovely song could be Glósolí by Sigur Rós

Ray La Montagne - Be Here Now
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Gospel Song
Moodswings Spiritual High/State of Independence (might be too up-tempo but has more of a blissful vibe than Vangelis or Donna Summer)

I was gonna suggest Jane's Addiction "Up The Beach" but it has a few startling chords in the beginning which would probably break the stained glass windows.

Spiritualized have a few gospel/religious type songs across their albums, check out the album Let It Come Down, a few on there.

Cheers for the ideas folks. As it happens herself has suggested Higher love already so could be a go er, although singer is female. Sigur Ros could be tricky to replicate! I dont think she speaks Hopelandic

Spacemen 3 had plenty of religious type songs as well. They're proper druggy music, but I'm sure a few church-goers won't notice
