I think another annoying choice I'd be tempted to make would be the long version of "Free Bird" or maybe "What's New Pussycat?" :think:
What song will they play at your funeral?
- Thread starter Nathon Detroit
- Start date
John Denver - "Back home again"
Maybe
"Can"t keep a good man down"
Maybe
"Can"t keep a good man down"
Ever since poltergeist, that song just creeps me out!
Played 21 times, with one interruption, after the seventh time, of "It's Not Unusual".
:rotfl:....nice combo. :thumb:
I saw a comedian on TV recently who spoke of a time he and a friend stopped at a diner, and did that with the jukebox. though I don't recall which of the two songs they only played once. But the effect was the same. Of course, I don't know if I could have sat in one place that long. Even if it was to get that good of a laugh.
But the jukebox where I work might be an option. Every Christmas they only put one Christmas CD in it, but it has the Chipmunk Christmas song.:Shimei:

"He Has Formed Me" - 2nd Chapter of Acts
He has formed me from the dust and to dust I shall return.
He has made me in His light and to light I shall return.
And I'll be free at last to lay it all down.
Free at last to wear my crown,
that He sent with the jewels of love,
He's placed in my heart.
And the sun will never rise again,
For He will be my Light.
My heart will never, never, never break His heart, again.
He has formed me from the dust and to dust I shall return.
He has made me in His light and to light I shall return.
And I'll be free at last to lay it all down.
Free at last to wear my crown,
that He sent with the jewels of love,
He's placed in my heart.
And the sun will never rise again,
For He will be my Light.
My heart will never, never, never break His heart, again.

Goodbye to Romance by Ozzy Osbourne
Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun
or will it rain
Everybody's having fun, Except me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
I said goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet,
we'll meet in the end
I've been the king, I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
to love in vain
I said goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet,
We'll meet in the end
And I feel the time is right,
Although I know that you just might say to me
What you gonna do

But I have to check this chance
Goodbye to friends and to romance

All the past is left behind again

I am not up with most the new hymn/gospel/spiritual music. I still lean toward the older hymns and gospel songs. My funeral service hymnal has 300 hymns for solo/duet/quartet, so I lack for nothing when officiating a service that needs an older hymn or a hymn to read that goes with the scripture setting.

I like this one "He Has Formed Me"
I need to know who wrote this piece, as I would like to put on our Sunday church service for Sunday at the retirement center, we willing be looking into death and dying.

All My Tears, by Jars Of Clay.
Refrain:
"It don't matter, where you bury me,
I'll be home and I'll be free.
It don't matter, where I lay,
All my tears be washed away."
Refrain:
"It don't matter, where you bury me,
I'll be home and I'll be free.
It don't matter, where I lay,
All my tears be washed away."
Won't have a funeral. Memorial service would be fine.

John 8:36
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
So long I had searched for life's meaning,
Enslaved by the world and my greed;
Then the door of the prison was opened by love,
For the ransom was paid - I was free.
Refrain
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!
I'm free from the guilt that I carried,
From that dull empty life I'm set free;
For when I met Jesus, He made me complete,
He forgot how foolish I used to be.
Refrain
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!

In heaven there is no beer
That’s why we drink it here
And when we’re no longer here
Someone else will be drinking all the beer
That’s why we drink it here
And when we’re no longer here
Someone else will be drinking all the beer
From Tom T. Hall's "I Like Beer"
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine
now that really hurts
The "Love of God" Hymn
would be a good one to attest to a Christian believer's love for God.
The Love of God
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
When years of time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race —
The saints' and angels' song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song.
I've never heard the original hymn, but I love Mercy Me's version of it. Great song about God's love.
That's the same song, Mercy Me has added some different styling to it.
George Beverly Shea and Dallas Holm sing (individually) "The Love of God" very good as well.
