Here's how we started a student led YL band.
I'm currently building a database of all the songs below with Keynotes, PowerPoints, and guitar chords. In the mean time, here’s one with 70 songs that was built by Andy Borror, YL Student Staff in Holland, MI.
Some lyrics in a few of the songs below may need to be tweaked. It's easy to change them in a funny way, like on the 3rd verse of 'Wagon Wheel' substitute 'told a nice long joke' or 'had an ice cold coke.'

This new content song, 'I Am Yours,' (recorded by Jenny & Tyler) has worked well in our club in Greensboro and was also used during Cardboard Testimonies at some summer camp weeks.
