When Kanye West was preparing for the release of his latest album The Life of Pablo earlier this year, he had tweeted that this next album was actually a gospel album rather than a regular hip-hop album that most fans expected. That much was made clear after his performance of “Ultralight Beam” on Saturday Night Live with Chance The Rapper, Kelly Price, The-Dream, and Kirk Franklin.

He followed up the spiritual vibes on Easter when he tweeted another song called “Ultralight Prayer,” which opens up with words from Kirk Franklin. And now it seems that his spiritual vibes are inspiring others in unexpected places.

St. Andrew’s Church, located in London recently changed the words on their sign to display lyrics from Kanye West’s song “Only One.” The Telegraph points out that the church replaced usual biblical references with the lyrics, “You’re not perfect, but you’re not your mistakes,” can be seen on the board, serving as a way to pull in new people to their church.

The photo taken by Elliott Walsh shows the image of the church’s exterior. The photo was shared with the caption, “I’m not really a religious man but i always look forward to the messages the priest leaves me at my local church, they are always a bit unchurchy and unpreachy.”
