but with a subtle punch ...
This Allman Brothers tune is by far my favorite. It is simple yet it is transcendental. The lyric writer captures the spirit of Saint Francis, Southern-style. Check it out:
Walk along the river, sweet lullaby,
it just keeps on flowing,
It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no
Straight from the Tao ...
Don't fly, mister bluebird,
I'm just walking down the road,
Early morning sunshine
tell me all I need to know
How about that, Saint Francis!
You're my blue sky,
You're my sunny day.
Lord, You know it makes me high
when You turn your love my way,
Turn Your love my way, yeah
A simple prayer of devotion? I think so ...
Good old Sunday morning,
bells are ringing everywhere.
Goin to Carolina,
it won't be long and I'll be there
Journey and destination, walk the path to the greater land ...
You're my blue sky
You're my sunny day.
Lord, You know it makes me high
when You turn Your love my way,
Turn Your love my way,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Prayer of devotion with the three part amen
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
so be it.
Here's the simple Southern prayer I need to add to my daily devotion - seriously.
