Over my dead body 3/29

These are the 10 songs Dotty Behring of Cape Girardeau wouldn't want to live without:

1. "I Love You Lord"The words comfort my restlessness. They point me to Jesus.

2. "What a Friend We Have in Jesus"My favorite hymn since it was played at my uncle's funeral when I was only 7.

3. "Brothers and Sisters in Christ"My "family" is now Hanover Lutheran Church.

4. "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High"The Teen Challenge Choir sings this song so beautifully.

5. "Earth and All StarsI am reminded of the marvelous works of my Lord.

6. "Love Me Tender -- Elvis Presley

This song was sung at our wedding 30 years ago.

7. "Happiest Girl in Whole U.S.A." -- Donna Fargo

It was popular right after we were married.

8. "Can't Smile Without You" -- Barry Manilow

9. "Joy to the World" This song expresses my joy in my Lord.

10. "YMCA" -- The Village People

We enjoyed hand movements to this song at all Jaycee dances in the '70s.
