Chorus:
Love, love, love  (3x)
Given from God above
 
Verse 1:
Every day is a new day
I get down on my knees and pray
God woke me up this morning
And wanted me to say
Love's the place to begin
No better place to start
Throw away your shame and sin
Take love into your heart
 
Verse 2:

Love can change both hearts and minds
It can leave every war behind
Increase the peace in the Middle East
It isn't very hard to find
Even love between two people
Such a joy to behold
Love the whole world over
I can feel it in my soul

Take A Little Walk With Me

Sung by Kim Wilson
Robert Jr. Lockwood, Songs Of Universal Inc

Come on…take a little walk with me
Come on….take a little walk with me
Back to that same old place where we long to be.

Come on…take a little walk with me
Come on…take a little walk with me
Back to that same old place Memphis Tennessee.

Early this morning about half past three
You were doing something really worrin' me
Come on…take a little walk with me
Back to that same old place where we long to be.
 
Come on baby…we’re going to walk so slow
After that you’re going to wanna walk some more
Come on….take a little walk with me
Back to that same old place where we long to be.

Instrumental

Let’s take a walk now…the old avenue
I’ve got something baby I want you to do
Come on…take a little walk with me
Back to that same old place…Memphis Tennessee
            
Instrumental

I said let’s take a walk down the old avenue
I’ve got something I want you to do
Come on…take a little walk with me
Back to that same old place…where we long to be.

I said late in the evening…round about midnight
All you want to do darling is fuss and fight
Come on babe….take a little walk with me
Back to that same old place…where we long to be.

What Can I Do For You
Sung by Dave Keller
Bob Dylan, Special Rider Music SESAC

You have given everything to me,
What can I do for you?
You have given me eyes to see,
What can I do for you?

Brought me out of bondage and made me renewed inside.
Filled up a hunger that had always been denied.
Opened up the door no one can shut , you opened it up so wide,
And you've chosen me Lord to be among the few.
What can I do for you?

You have given life to me.
What can I do for you?
And you have explained every mystery.
What can I do for you?

Soon as we’re born, you know the sparks begin to fly.
We get wise in our own eyes, and we’re made to believe a lie.
Who would deliver us from the death, we are bound to die?
Well, you've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.
What can I do for you?

You have given all there is to give.
What can I give to you?
You have given me this life to live.
How can I live for you?

I know about poison, all about fiery darts.
I don't care how rough the road is, just show me where to start.
Whatever pleases you, tell it right to my heart.
Well, I don't deserve it but I sure made it through.
What can I do for you?

Instrumental

Yeah…oh yeah, yeah.  Whatever you want me to do Lord…won’t you tell me…what can I do? When I was down...you lifted me up.  When I was sinking fast…you were right there with me Lord. Oh tell me…tell me…whatever you want me to do Lord.  Tell me…what can I do for you?  What can I do?

Child of a Survivor
Sung by Kim Wilson
Written by Ronnie Earl, Mr. Earl Music BMI &
Deborah Blanchard, Grace Box Music BMI

I was only a child
When I first heard them whisper
Stories of suffering, sorrow and death
Six million souls, now gone, not forgotten
I’m a child of a survivor and the grief is rising.

            Have you heard the news?  Do you know the blues?
            Do you know what it is like to hear the cry of the Jews?

From their stories of life, I caught all their tears
They felt like they died, so I buried their blues
I absorbed their pain, my heart is so heavy    
I’m a child of a survivor and the sorrow is rising.

            Have you heard the news?  Do you know the blues?
            Do you know what it is like to hear the cry of six million Jews?

Instrumental

How can we understand the death of six million?   
Or know the minds of those set free?
Liberation brought life and they all are inspiring.
I’m a child of a survivor and the hope is rising.

Instrumental

I’ve learned there is simply too much pain to explain.
And each new day we must choose how to live.
My soul found healing and I’ll tell you their story for…  
I’m a child of a survivor and the peace is rising. 

            Have you heard the news?  Do you know the blues?
            Do you know what it is like to hear the cry of six million Jews?
           
            Oh.. .bittersweet forgiveness…emptiness and hope.
            The road to happiness…you got to try to follow the road.

Donna Lee
Sung by Kim Wilson
Ronnie Earl, Mr. Earl Music BMI &
Deborah Blanchard, Grace Box Music BMI


It was unrelenting pain,
I lived inside my inner fears. (2x)
You stayed with me when others ran away,
Sharing strength you healed a river full of tears.

Chorus
I want to thank you Donna Lee
You know you mean so much to me
We’ve grown together touched by grace
And now we’re dancing full of faith.

When my life was the darkest night of blues,
Your love brought me soul, happiness and good news (2x)
You’re my teacher, counselor and friend,
We’re steppin’ on – one and the same.

Chorus
I want to thank you Donna Lee
You know you mean so much to me
We’ve grown together touched by grace
And now we’re dancing full of faith

Instrumental

You brought my life a million points of light.
My higher power brought you to be my wife. (2x)
I see your spirit through your eyes,
Grounded in love – an endless supply.
