	Old-time gospel style, 4 part harmony. When my friend, Florence Kingsolver, died, I woke up the next morning with this song. All I had to do was grab my notepad, the music was in my head, it was all there. It was her gift to me, and it is my gift to you.

Chorus: Bill and Becky Kimmons, John Ely. Lyrics Let Us All Sing with Joy © Paul Epstein, 1/94 Chorus: From dust we come to dust we return Our spirit comes a lesson to learn The love in our hearts must be nurtured and shared Let us all sing with joy for a soul no more bound by earthly cares Verse 1: The babe in the crib, the old man in the street All needing love from the people they meet When you open your heart, you get back what you give Let us all sing with joy as our souls give us reason to live (Chorus) There's goodness inside every person on Earth But the goodness can hide 'neath the layers of hurt Your love can break through a lifetime of pain Let us all sing with joy for the souls with the will to love again. (Chorus)
