Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

In this round, song lyrics must contain the name of a book of scripture in the LDS canon. It can be the book as a whole (i.e. the Bible) or one of the books (i.e. Matthew) or official subdivisions (i.e. the New Testament) within it. You only need the common name, not the full one (i.e. Matthew, rather than "The Gospel According to St. Matthew;" also, Nephi, rather than First Nephi). Out-of-context uses are perfectly acceptable.

Encore rules: linkage.

Round One starts now and ends at 11:59 PM in your time zone on Wednesday, June 20.

Also, just for everyone's information, there will be days when I might not get the list of who's in/out or the list of songs used on a given day up until fairly late on the following day. I apologize in advance.
