Song of the Day: The Best Things To Be Is A Person

The song of the day for Saturday, January 9, 2020, is “The Best Thing To Be Is A Person.”

About This Song

“The Best Thing To Be Is A Person” was written in 1964 by Bob Haymes (brother of singer Dick Haymes), with lyrics by Alan Brandt.

I chose this song today because of these lyrics:

The Lord said, “You can be a big man,
And I can tell you where to start.
Just let the world around you
Know the love that’s in your heart.”

I thought it was a good message for this time.
