Question: I've been listening to Opeth recently, and enjoying it. But their lyrics are kinda... meh. I'm looking for a band that's a similar blend of prog and death metal, but more Christian. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find one. Any suggestions?
That's not death metal
I'd like to mention a Christian band from my country which really surprised me with it's quality.
The texts are biblical, I mean, it's literally citing the bible in verses that rhyme, it's great, but obviously secular metalheads won't like it...
I just want you lot to give it a listen, it's really good:

No material releases, but you could say they have a digital release, they made 3 songs in high quality and it's up for download on this Croatian blog for metal music.

The lyrics are meaningful... at least to me, I don't care about others
"Jer Ti si pastir moj, tvoja rijec je meni sve
hostijo, moja snago, istino
jer ti si pastir moj, moj gospodin i moj bog"
Roughly translated means
"For you are my shepherd, your word means everything to me
my strength, and my truth
for you are my shepherd, my lord and my god"
Croats are really religious people... and although these lyrics sound corny to me in English, this "gospel" flows like a river when spoken in our language
For those of you wanting to hear the music and ignore my rambling, just click on the link.
BTW Mars Sacrecy is a brilliant band ) I fell in love with "Hope From Above", teary eyed joy
