Here is a list of the songs that are played and the lyrics. They could be printed out as a guide for patients to sing along. Since "Amazing Grace" is a popular song that many know, I ask if anyone wants to sing it while I play the rhythm. Here are the lyrics to the current set list. You Are My Sunshine The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy, If you will only say the same. But if you leave me and love another, You'll regret it all some day: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between. But not you've left me and love another; You have shattered all of my dreams: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me When I awake my poor heart pains. So when you come back and make me happy I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away This Little Light Of Mine This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Won't let it get blown out, I'm gonna let it shine. Won't let it get blown out, I'm gonna let it shine. Won't let it get blown out, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I'm gonna let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I'm gonna let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Let it shine 'til Jesus comes, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine 'til Jesus comes, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine 'til Jesus comes, I'm gonna let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye, There's a better world home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky. I was standing by my window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw that hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye, There's a better world home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky. Lord, I told that undertaker, Undertaker please drive slow For this body that you are hauling Lord, I hate to see her go.

I went home, my home was lonely Now my mother she was gone All my brothers, sisters crying What a home so sad and alone Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye, There's a better world home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky. We'll Meet Again We'll meet again Don't know where Don't know when But I know We'll meet again Some sunny day Keep smilin' thru Just like you Always do 'Til the blue skies drive The dark clouds Far away And will you please say hello to the folks that i know Tell'em that I won't be long And they'll be happy to know That when you saw me go I was singing this song We'll meet again Don't know where Don't know when But I know We'll meet again Some sunny day (spoken) Yeah we'll meet again I don't know where Anf I don't know when But I do know That we'll meet again Some sunny day (spoken) So Honey Keep on smilin' thru Just like you always do 'Til the blue skies Drive the dark clouds Far away And would you please say hello To all the folks that I know And tell'em I won't be long They'll be happy to know That when you saw me go I was singing this song (with choir) We'll meet again Don't know where Don't know when But I know We'll meet again Some sunny day Swinging on a Star Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a mule? A mule is an animal with long funny ears Kicks up at anything he hears His back is brawny but his brain is weak He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak And by the way, if you hate to go to school You may grow up to be a mule Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a pig? A pig is an animal with dirt on his face His shoes are a terrible disgrace He has no manners when he eats his food He's fat and lazy and extremely rude But if you don't care a feather or a fig You may grow up to be a pig Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a fish? A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Every day you meet quite a few So you see it's all up to you You can be better than you are You could be swingin' on a star I'll fly Away Some bright morning when this life is over I'll fly away To that home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away. Chorus: I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away in the morning When I die Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away. When the shadows of this life have gone I'll fly away Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly I'll fly away. Chorus: I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away in the morning When I die Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away. Oh, how glad and happy when we meet I’ll fly away No more cold iron shackles on my feet I’ll fly away. Chorus: I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away in the morning When I die Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away. Chorus: I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away in the morning When I die Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away. Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away To a land where joys will never end I'll fly away. Chorus: I'll fly away, oh Glory I'll fly away in the morning When I die Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away. When I die Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away... Wait For the Light to Shine When the road is rocky and you're carryin' a load Wait for the light to shine If you find your friendless on that weary lonesome road Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Pull yourself together and keep lookin' for the sign Wait for the light to shine Don't forget your brother as you travel through the land Wait for the light to shine He may be in trouble and may need a helping hand Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Never give up hope or cast your pearls before the swine Wait for the light to shine If you're life is empty and you're on your last go round Wait for the light to shine If you hear the chime bells on the highway you have found Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine When your friends forsake you and you haven't got a dime Wait for the light to shine Don't let trouble fool you and your sins will all be gone Wait for the light to shine Don't forget it's dark it's just before the break of dawn Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Wait for the light to shine Keep these words before you as you walk that narrow line Wait for the light to shine Kisses Sweeter Than Wine When I was a young man and never been kissed I got to thinking it over what I had missed. I got me a girl, I kissed her and then Oh Lord, I kissed her again. Chorus: Oh, kisses sweeter than wine, Oh Lord, kisses sweeter than wine I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife, And we would be so happy the rest of our lives. I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand. Oh, kisses sweeter than wine, Oh Lord, kisses sweeter than wine I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, Workin' hand in hand to make a good life. With corn in the field and wheat in the bins, I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins. Oh, kisses sweeter than wine, Oh Lord, kisses sweeter than wine Our children they numbered just about four, They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door. They all got married and they didn't hesitate; I was, Oh Lord, the grandmother of eight. Oh, kisses sweeter than wine, Oh Lord, kisses sweeter than wine Now that we're old, and ready to go, We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago. We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, But, Oh Lord, We'd do it again. The Good Ole Bible I believe the Father Adam Was the first created man That Eve was made his wife According to the Master's plan They lost their home in Eden The Lord they did offend I believe the good ole Bible From beginning to the end I believe that master Able Was slain by master Cain That Noah did go in the Ark To get out of the rain I believe that little David Slew Goliath and his men I believe the good ole Bible From beginning to the end I believe the Hebrew children Walked in the burning fire That Ananias was struck dead Because he was a lair I believe that father Daniel Walked in the Lions den I believe the good ole Bible From beginning to the end I believe that the blessed Master Turned the water into wine As pure and sweet and harmless As the grapes upon the vine All other wines are mockers The scriptures do contend I believe the good ole Bible From beginning to the end You Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley You got to walk that lonesome valley Well, you got to walk it for yourself Ain't nobody else can walk it for you You got to walk that valley for yourself So you start walking on through that lonesome valley Walking on just by yourself Yes, nobody else can do it for you Yeah, you just start to walk it on by yourself Yeah your not alone in that lonesome valley although it may seem like your by yourself Yes, but your not alone in that lonesome valley Your not alone all by yourself So keep on a walking on that lonesome valley even though it's gets rocky up on ahead but just keep movin on, noone can walk it for you Keep on pushin on by yourself... Oh, Jesus walks that lonesome valley You can see him up ahead Yes, just keep pushin on he's waitin for us He had to walk that valley for us by himself Oh yes, just keep on pushing on that lonesome valley No matter what just by yourself Yes, nobody else can walk it for you Just walk that valley for yourself Amazing Grace VERSE 1: Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found Was blind but now I see VERSE 2: T'was grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. VERSE 3: Through many dangers, toil and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. VERSE 4: When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun.
