I think Gord knows the Lord...

After what he went through a few years ago. It's truly a miracle that he is still able to share his wonderful music with us.
But at times he has fallen short, as all of us have.
Gord grew up singing in the church choir, in fact the first recording he made was in elementary school was "The Lord's Prayer."

It's ben stated here that for years He has sung at the Christamas Eve service at a Methodist Church in Toronto. Like all of us, I hope his relationship with God extends to more than holidays.
In so many of Gord's songs there are spritual influences,
"Too Late for Prayin"
"Apology"
"Mr. Rock Of Ages"
"Heaven Help the Devil"

I think Gordon has been blessed by God with his talent and ability, to touch the heart and stir the soul

Sometimes, the lyrics point to questioning God and why things happen which is ok, such as the verse
"for each child with eyes that smile, they'll be ten more crying." "TLF

I don't imagine that Gordon would be opposed to have his fans say a prayer for him.
I know that I sure don't mind people praying for me.

As for God often providing the words to put on paper, I share something that I wrote in just minutes, a few years ago

…DEAR LORD.......
