To whom it may concern, please do me the favour of having
these songs sung in worship of the Lord during my funeral services. If it may
be possible, do try to end off the funeral services with these two songs. If
not, just singing them is fine. Thanks for the effort (:
1.
I asked the Lord that I might grow (sung in
the tune of the hymn “When I Survey”)
The Lord has so decided, in His grace, to allow this hymn to
comfort me in dark times. It is truly often in the exposing our the “hidden
evils” of our hearts that we are set free from self and pride. When the Lord mercifully
shows us how completely helpless we are, it is then that some of us find our
Saviour! Praise the manifold wisdom of God, that He would allow His children to
suffer for a season, to remind them of His goodness.
My departure may be a trying time for you, but never forget
that that Lord is indeed good good good. Let’s sing of His greatness and seek
our all in Him and Him alone.
2.
Because He Lives (sung loudly and with an upbeat
tune)
Rejoice with me as the resurrection of our Lord gives us
hope! The single-most important event in human history continues to be a refuge
for us to rest in the hope that we do have a glorious future with our God.
Because He lives, we can face the worries of tomorrow! Because our greatest
worry, the fear of Hell, was crushed when He rose. There is no more need to
fear.
Because He holds my future, I am indeed secure (: Life is
for sure worth the living my friends, for we no longer live for ourselves, but
for Him, in whom our life is hidden. I have been WAITING for the day that I
cross the icy river of death, and I have done so praise God!!! Thanks be to God
that the once feared demise of death is nothing but a gateway in GLORY. I am
worshipping our God in full joy now. Rejoice for my sake. But more so, rejoice
for He lives.
Your brother-in-Christ
Daniel
