All About the Music

We continue our theme of featuring music of Thanksgiving. This week we feature one of the most talented musical outfits to share their contribution to the theme of thankfulness. It's called "Devotion" 
Devotion
Through devotion
Blessed are the  children
Praise the teacher
That brings true love to many

Your devotion
Opens all life's treasures, yeah
And deliverance 
From the fruits of evil

So our mission 
To bring a melody
Ringing voices,woo hoo
Sing sweet harmony

For you here's a song
To make your day brighter
One that would last you long 
Through troubled days

Giving your heart, ooh
The light to brighten
Oh, oh, oh, all of the dark 
That falls your way


You need a devotion
Bless the children, whoa
Deliverance
From the fruits of evil

In everyone's life
There's a need to be happy
Let the sun shine 
And smile your way

Open your heart
Feel a touch of devotion
Maybe this song
Will help uplift your day
Make a better way

You need devotion 
You need devotion
Bless the children
Why don't you bless the children
Deliver from the fruits of evil

You need devotion
You need devotion
Bless the children
