Kings of Leon - Manhattan live

Well
I could dance all night
And some of the day
That's how I play
That's how I play

I say who are you
No matter who you are
So you dance all night
And you dance all day

I say
I say

Gonna build a fire
Gonna smoke it up
Gonna sip this wine
And pass the cup

These avenues and
these reseviors
We gonna show this town
How to kiss these stars

I say
I say

You've come to kill
Gonna spend it high
Your parents grieve
I know they are right

And then talking to you
Well they calm you down
So it's all for you
who let you down

I say
I say
I say
I say

Just wanna take you hand
I'm gonna drive you home
Just gonna keep on
Keep on, keep on
And you gonna have a rest

George Strait - Amarillo By Morning

"Amarillo By Morning"

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone. Everything that I've got is just what I've got on. When that sun is high in that Texas sky I'll be bucking it to county fair. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe. Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way. Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate, And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone. Everything that I've got is just what I've got on. I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine. I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

Clockwork Angels, RUSH June 12, 2012
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIAftTV4tBk

Okay - a bit of a stretch! But the song is set in the courtyard of “Crown City”. And it is brand new from Rush!

Stars aglow like scattered sparks
Span the sky in clockwork arcs
Hint at more than we can see
Spiritual machinery

Hey Fatima,

City
by The Church

Nice guitar but apparently obscure enough that it’s not on youtube.

Love your threads.

Lost And Found
June 15, 2012

Recently, I couldn’t find my credit card. I began frantically looking for it because losing a credit card is no small thing. Automatic payments and daily purchases would all be disrupted until it could be replaced. Not to mention the possibility of someone finding it and charging items to our account. What a relief it was when my wife found it on the floor under the computer table.

In Luke 15:8-10, Christ told the story of something that was lost—a valuable coin, which was equivalent to a day’s wages. The woman who lost the coin was so concerned about locating it that she lit a lamp, swept the house, and carefully searched until she found it. Then she told her friends “Rejoice with me, for I have found the [coin] which I lost!” (v.9). Then Jesus gave the point of the story: “Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (v.10).

People are of great value to God. Those who don’t know Him are lost in their sins. Christ paid the ultimate price by dying on the cross for their redemption. Do you know people who are lost? Ask the Lord to give you an opportunity to share the good news with them so they can repent of their sins and be found by our gracious God.

The Lord has come to seek and save
A world that is lost in sin;
And everyone who comes to Him
Will be restored and changed within. —Sper

To be found, you must first admit that you’re lost.

Read: Luke 15:4-10

Rejoice with me, for I have found the [coin] which I lost! —Luke 15:9

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 64-66

[Eva]

I guess I have to mention , South Street.

Where do all the hippies meet, South Street, South Street - by the Orlons.

The name of that group just cracks me up. Orlons. like the precursor to polyester. I wonder if there was ever a group called the Poly Esters.

[Alberta's Child]

“Amarillo By Morning” by George Strait ... the best country song ever written.

[Fresh Wind]

Great song!

[Alberta's Child]

Ah, you beat be to it, Yogafist. What a great song.

[Publius]

The Trade Winds were Andreoli and Poncia. They tried some tunes as the Anders & Poncia Group, but didn’t score a hit again.

I’ve always wondered if it was possible to find a song from at least one city in every state. Probably not, but fun trying.
