Yeah, that's actually pretty damn common for gospel musicians to do that. I remember I took the chords from Jamie Foxx's "Light a Candle" and work them into a song of my own. Also had the main piano player at my methodist church back in the day take the melody for Young Dro's Shoulder Lean and throw that into a shout music /praise break, all the old heads in church running around and dancing not knowing they doing that to "worldly music".
gospel was lit in the 90s

Sometimes it happens in reverse too the R&B singer/producer takes from gospel. Queen Naija used the chord progression and vocal melody and runs from John P Kee's "you don't know my story" for her song Karma.

Growing up my church choir used to always turn r and b songs into gospel songs. It’s the perfect genre to do it for because instead singing about a man or women just sing about God.
