Love, Love, Love Sung by Dave Keller Written by Ronnie Earl, Mr. Earl Music BMI & Dave Keller, Tastee Tone Pub. BMI 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

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.
