"Christian Woman" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album Bloody Kisses, released in 1993. It is the band's landmark song that propelled Type O Negative into mainstream popularity. It has '80s new wave edge. The song is about a Christian woman complicating her thoughts about God. Pete Steele told Revolver, "[Christian woman] would get off on breaking the rules a little bit. She would ask me to dress up as a priest and, well, I guess you can just imagine what would happen after that. So, I guess you could say I have a bit of a priest infection."

This song is split into three cantos. The first canto, "Body of Christ (Corpus Christi)", is a radio hit and the only canto played on the single. The second canto, "To Love God", features sitar and tambura. The third canto, "Jesus Christ Looks Like Me", features the use of cowbells. The title of the third canto is taken from the title of the supposed third Carnivore album that didn't happen.

There is an official music video for this song.

Lyrics[]

[Canto I. "Body of Christ (Corpus Christi)"]
Forgive her
For she knows
Not what she does...

A cross upon her bedroom wall
From grace she will fall
An image burning in her mind
And between her thighs

A dying God-man full of pain
When will you cum again?

Before him beg to serve or please
On your back or knees

There's no forgiveness for her sins
Prefers punishment?

Would you suffer eternally
Or internally?

Ah

For her lust
She'll burn in hell
Her soul done medium well

All through mass manual stimulation
Salvation

Corpus Christi
She needs
Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi
She needs
Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi

Body of Christ
She needs
Body of Christ
Body of Christ

[Canto II. "To Love God"]
She'd like to know God
Love God

Feel her God
Inside of her - deep inside of her

She'd like to know God
Love God

Feel, feel, feel
Her God
Inside of her
Deep inside of her

Inside of her
Deep inside of her

[Canto III. "Jesus Christ Looks Like Me"]
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
