Picking songs for club isn’t easy. Hopefully this ‘database’ below will help…but your best resource when picking songs is your middle and high school friends. We had our first YL band practice last night and it was awesome to see them take ownership and select songs for the first couple clubs.
Here’s how we started a student led YL band.
Here’s a database of 70+ songs with Keynotes, PowerPoints, and guitar chords 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.’
If you have additional
song suggestions, please comment below or email me here.
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.
