Mine would be " The Lords Prayer " by Ron Elliott. Best use of pedals and knee levers you will ever hear.

Do you have a link to this? I’m not familiar with it. Thanks!
As far as instrumentals go, "Look At Us" that John Hughey played is a favorite , but I found out recently one of my favorite songs with steel is Lorrie Morgan's version of the eighties song "It's A Heartache", which Sonny Garrish played steel on. I talked with Lorrie one time about how Sonny had played on "Half Enough", and several other songs, and she said she'd never heard of Sonny at one time, but when he played on the "Watch Me" record that Lorrie did, Lorrie really liked his playing! Sonny plays a great steel solo on "It's A Heartache"

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
