Songs I want played at my funeral

[telecaster55]

Sounds morbid, right?

Not really, because I want my funeral (not planning on it any time soon, but we all know who holds the timepiece) to be a real joyous occasion. Obviously, this isn't for my benefit, since I'll be at a much grander party, but for those who attend.

There are 2 songs that jump out at me right now as the "what I'd like to say" about my life, or at least a longing of my life...

"My Reward" by Paul Baloche
"When It's All Been Said and Done" by Robin Mark

Anyone else with some thoughts?

One of my personal favs is "We Will Dance" (Vineyard)

[El Ben]

I've got two words for you when it comes to funeral songs. It's all I want people to hear at my funeral: "Free." "Bird." Complete with 10-minute guitar solo if you please. :D

[Klampert]

wow free bird...hmmm

ya know I would love mozart's requiem. my favorite piece of music of all time

[Darren]

I want "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," Diadem tune.

Also "We Believe" by Steve Green would be good.

But my favorite would be the "Hosanna" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Requiem."

"Grave Robber" - by Petra
"Sing Alleluia to the Lord" - the old Maranatha! one
Doerksen's "Eternity"
"We Exalt Thee"
"All My Tears" - the Mark Heard tribute song
"We Will Dance" - David Ruis

[WorshipCity]

Shout At The Devil

[El Ben]

That reminds me of "To Hell with the Devil" by Stryper.

[Klampert]

I LOVE STRYPER!...saw them last year still amazing..

[russhutto]

wow free bird...hmmm

ya know I would love mozart's requiem. my favorite piece of music of all time

Heck yes, Requiem is amazing!! One of planet earth's all time best musical creations!!

I do love that "When it's all been said and done" by Robin Mark as well...

I think I would like people to really be challenged at my funeral. Maybe it will even be a FUN-eral. I hope that there will be a mixture of friends, family, believers, and nonbelievers there that have somehow been impacted for good by my feeble attempts to love God and love people.

how 'bout Queen's .. "another one bites the dust"? (sorry, couldn't resist)

[shepaints]

have that for the walk-in. heeheehee!
would really set a mood. maybe not the mood you wanted...but a mood!

for my funeral i have a new favorite.

the chris tomlin "Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone. we did this last week in our services and it was awesome. we actually had people amen-ing (is that a word?) which seldom happens in our services any more (long story).

then i want the oldie but goody "Never Gonna Stop" by tommy walker, one of my all time favorite leaders/singers/writers. the line that says "when the last day comes and goes and time will be no more, I'll be praising You" just says it all for me and i want the crowd to sing it!

now, enough on this morbid thought train. it's friday! woohoo!! have a great day all. :D

[Joe Ritter]

Drop Kick Me Jesus Through The Goal Posts of Life.
