Inspired by his mother, yes. But, a simple google search on "Let it Be lyrics" says that many feel otherwise, and that Paul wrote those lyrics in a manner open to interpretation, like so many Beatles songs.

Funny how the music sounds so churchy. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. There couldn't possibly be an intentional double entendre, between the name of his mother and that of Jesus.
