Gospel Funeral Song Lyrics

Amazing Grace

Harlem Gospel Choir

Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home

Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
Was blind, but now I see.

Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

By Susan Boyle

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there’s sadness ever joy
Oh, master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
It isn’t pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men let we receive
And in dying that we’re born to turn around
Oh, master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there’s sadness ever joy

The Prayer

By Andrea Bocelli (feat. Celine Dion)

I pray you’ll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise,
in times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way
Lead us to a place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
La luce che tu hai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore resterà
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’è
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe
Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità

La forza che ci dà
We ask that life be kind
È il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a sé
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà.

Down to the River to Pray

By Alison Krauss

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!
O sisters, let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down
O sisters, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way!
O brothers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Come on, brothers, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!
O fathers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
O fathers, let’s go down

Down in the river to pray

The Lord Is My Sheppard

By Mormon Tabernacle Choir

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me to lie down
In green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
Ooh, He restores my soul
He restores my soul
He restores my soul
He restores my soul
Thank you Lord
I wanna thank you
He leadeth me in the path of righteousness
E’en for His name’s sake
Yea, tho I walk thru valley of shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff
And you comfort me
And you comfort me
And you comfort me
And you comfort me
[thank you Lord] He prepareth a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
My anoint my head with oil
And my cup overflows
Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Amen
[Wonderful counselor
Prince of peace
Mighty good shepherd
I love you Lord]

Swing Low Sweet Chariot

Version By Eric Clapton

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan, what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I’m coming too
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Heaven’s Now My Home

By Libby Allen

I am sorry that I left you
I know you feel alone
God told me that He needed me

He called me to come home
And what seemed to be an instant…
In the twinkling of a night
An angel gently took my hand
And let me tour the sky

As I ascended into heaven
Beyond the pearly gates
The angels were rejoicing
Then I saw His radiant face
God’s eyes shone down upon me
From the glory of His thrown
He said” Enter into paradise coz heaven’s now your home”

I fought the fight I finished the race
Throughout the trial
I kept my faith no longer do I suffer
My body’s been made whole
I am flying with the angels
And heaven’s now my home
God told me not to worry
He said you’d be okay
Because eternity is forever
And we’ll meet again someday

I fought the fight I finished the race
Throughout the trial kept my faith
No longer do I suffer my body’s
Been made whole
I am flying with the angels
And heaven’s now my home

I am flying with the angels
And my heaven’s now my home.

And grace will lead us home,

Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound

I once was lost but now am found
T’was blind but now I see

Take My Hand Precious Lord

Version By Mahalia Jackson

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on through the light
Take my hand, precious Lord
And lead me home
When my way grows dreary
Precious Lord, lead me near
When my life is almost gone
At the river I will stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand, precious Lord
And lead me home

Nearer My God to Thee

Version By Mighty Clouds of Joy

Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

2 Though, like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

3 There let me see the sight,
An open heaven;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise,
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Stand

By Donnie McClurkin

What do you do
When you’ve done all you can and it seems like its never enough
And what do you say when your friends turn away and you’re all alone
Tell me what do you give
When you’ve given your all and it seems like you can’t make it through
Well you just stand when there’s nothing left to do
You just stand watch the LORD see you through
Yes after you’ve done all you can, you just stand
Tell me how do you handle the guilt of your past
Tell me how do you deal with the strain
And how can you smile when your heart has been broken and filled with pain
Tell me what do you give
When you’ve given your all and it seems like you can’t make it through
Child, you just stand, when there’s nothing left to do
You just stand watch the Lord see you through
Yes after you’ve done all you can, you just stand, stand and be sure
Be not entangled in that bondage, oh you just stand and endure
God has a purpose, yes God has a plan
Tell me what do you do

How Great Thou Art

Version By Carrie Underwood

O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all
The works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars,
I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout
The universe displayed,
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze,
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
“My God, how great Thou art!”
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

Just a Closer Walk to Thee

By Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson

I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When my feeble life is o’er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom’s shore, to Thy shore
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

Sweet Hour of Prayer

By Allen Jackson

Sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
The joys I feel, the bliss I share
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for Thy return
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face
And gladly take my station there
And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
And wait for Thee
Sweet hour of prayer

In the Garden

By Brad Paisley

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I’d stay in the garden with Him
‘Tho the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

Rock of Ages

By Amy Grant ft. Vince Gill

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy riven side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Cleanse me from it’s guilt and pow’r
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
Naked, come to Thee for dress
Helpless, look to Thee for grace
Vile, I to the fountain fly
Wash me, savior, or I die
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee

I Won’t Have to Cross Jordan Alone

Version By Johnny Cash

The story of a broken heart
Well the springtime is coming
And the honeybees are humming
And I just saw a robin flying by
While your wedding bells are ringing
My poor heart is singing
The story of a broken heart
The story of a broken heart
When the trees start to budding
And the memories start to flooding
And my heart takes a trip to yesterday
When we walked neath the moon
And our love was in bloom
Now we’re two lovers drifted apart
The story of a broken heart
Now the wedding invitations
Were sent out to your relations
But you ask me to give the bride away
Although I can’t show it
I think that you’ll know it
A story that’s told from my heart
The story of a broken heart

Beyond the Sunset

By Hank Williams

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
I’ll live in memory’s garden dear with happy days we’ve known
In spring I’ll wait for roses red, when fades the lilacs bloom
And in early fall when brown leaves fall, I’ll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain, for battles to be fought
Each thing you’ve touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot
I’ll hear your voice I’ll see your smile though blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
Beyond the sunset, oh blissful morning
When with our savior, heaven is begun
Earth’s toiling ended, oh glory dawning
Beyond the sunset when day is done
Should you go first and I remain, to finish with the scroll
No lessening shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll
We’ve known so much of happiness, we’ve had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy
I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road, you’ll hear me call your name
Should you go first and I remain, one thing I’ll have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon I’ll follow you
In that fair homeland, we’ll know no parting
Beyond the sunset for ever more

The Uncloudy Day

By Willie Nelson

Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
Oh, they tell me of a home far away
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day
Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day
Oh, they tell me of a home where my friends have gone
Oh, they tell me of that land far away
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance through the unclouded day
Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day
Oh, they tell me of a King in His beauty there
And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow
In the city that is made of gold
Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day
Oh, they tell me that He smiles on His children there
And His smile drives their sorrows all away
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of unclouded day
Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Gospel Ship

By the Carter Family

I’m gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship
I’m going far beyond the sky
I’m gonna shout, shout and sing until all heaven rings
When I bid this old world goodbye

I have good news to bring and that is why I sing
All my joy with you I’d like to share
I’m gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship
I wanna go sailing through the air

I’m gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship
I’m going far beyond the sky
I’m gonna shout, shout and sing until all heaven rings
When I bid this old world goodbye, goodbye

Oh, I can scarcely wait, I know I don’t wanna be late
I want to spend all my time in prayer
When my ship comes in, I’m gonna leave this old world of sin
I got to go sailing through the air

I’m gonna take a trip in that good old gospel ship
I’m going far beyond the sky
I’m gonna shout, shout and sing until all heaven rings
When I bid this old world goodbye, goodbye

What a Day That Will Be

Version By Southern Raised

There is coming a day,
When no heart aches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forever more,
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

There’ll be no sorrow there,
No more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain,
No more parting over there;
And forever I will be,
With the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

It’s alright it’s gonna be alright
If I don’t wake up, in the morning
(I know) It’s alright it’s gonna be alright

Oh my friends there’s is no need to cry

Till we reach that distant shore
And we’ll shed a tear no more

My Soul is Anchored

By Douglas Miller

Though the storms keep on raging in my life
And sometimes it’s hard to tell my night from day
Still that hope that lies within is reassured
As I keep my eyes upon the distant shore;
I know He’ll lead me safely to that
Blessed place He has prepared

But if the storms don’t cease
And if the wind keeps on blowing, (in my life)
My soul has been anchored in the Lord

I realize that sometimes in this life
You’re gonna be tossed by the waves
And the currents that seem so fierce
But in the word of God I’ve got an anchor;
And it keeps me steadfast and unmovable
Despite the tide
But if the storms don’t cease
But in case the wind keeps on blowing, (in my life)
My soul has been anchored in the Lord
My soul has been anchored in the Lord

My soul’s been anchored
My soul’s been anchored
My soul’s been anchored

I’m Going Away

By Walter Hawkins

Verse 1:
(I’m going away, I’m going away)
To a place, I’ll live eternally
Special place prepared just for me;
I’m going away
(I’m going away, away)

Verse 2:
I’m going away, I’m going away
No more tears or sorrow over there
We will live free from every care;
I’m going away
(I’m going away, away)

Bridge:
One of these mornings it won’t be long
(You will look for me and I’ll be gone)
Going to Glory to sing and shout
(there’ll be nobody there to put me out);
(I’m going away, I’m going away)

Verse 3:
I’m going away
I’m going away
To a place (prepared just for me)
A special place (I’ll live eternally)
(I’m going away, I’m going away)

Jesus Promised Me a Place Over There

By Jennifer Hudson

There’s a place, in Heaven
Prepared for me
When the toils o this life is over
When the saints are clothed in white
Before the throne
Singin praises forever forever more

In my fathers house
There are mansions bright
If he said it
Then I know it’s true
There’s a place for me
Beyond beyond the sky
Brothers & sisters there’s one for you

Jesus he promised me a home over there
Jesus promised me a home over there
No more sickness, sorrow, pain, because
He promised me a home over there

Oh Jesus promised me a home over there
Jesus promised me a home over there
No more sickness, or sorrow, pain, again
Jesus promised me a home over there

I’ll Fly Away

By Hezekiah Walker

I’ve got a home in the sky
Gonna tell this world goodbye
You see, I’m gonna fly away

We’re gonna be caught up together
To live with Jesus Christ forever
You see, I’m gonna fly away

I will be free, free one day
I will be free, free one day

I’ve got a home in the sky
Gonna tell this world goodbye
You see, I’m gonna fly away

We’re gonna be caught up together
To live with Jesus Christ forever
You see I’m gonna fly away

I will be free, free one day
I will be free, free one day

One glad morning
When this life is over
I’ll fly away, I’ll fly away

His Eye Is On the Sparrow

Version by Whitney Houston

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for heaven, heaven and home,
When, when Jesus is my portion,
My constant Friend is He;
Oh, oh-oh, his eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watched, watched it over me.
I sing because I’m happy (happy)
I sing because I’m free (free free free)
For His eye, his eye is on the sparrow,
And I know, I know He watches over me.

Walk Around Heaven

By Patti Labelle

One of these mornings won’t be very long
You’ll look for me and I’ll be gone, yes, I will
I’m going to a place where there’ll be nothing, nothing to do
But simply walk around Heaven all day
When I get to Heaven, I’m gonna jump and shout
Nobody will be able to put me out
My mother, she’ll be waiting, my father, my three sisters too
We’ll get together and walk around Heaven all day
Oh Father up above, don’t You hear, can’t You hear me praying’
I need You, I need You to walk right by my side
Lord, when my way, when my way gets cloudy
I need You for my guide
Everyday will be Sunday, my Lord, Sabbath will have no end
We’ll do nothing but sing and praise His holy name
And when He says, “Sister, well done”
Then my race, one that’s [?] will be won
Gonna walk around Heaven, walk around Heaven
Walk around Heaven, walk around Heaven
I’ll walk around Heaven, walk around Heaven
We’re gonna walk around Heaven all day

A Mighty Fortress is Our God

By Martin Luther

A mighty Fortress is our God,
A Bulwark never failing;
Our Helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.

Abide With Me

By King’s College Choir

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, O abide with me
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Heavens morning breaks, and earths vain shadows flee
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me

Be Not Afraid

By Daniel O’Donnell

VERSE (1):
You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
And all will understand
You shall see the face of God and live

CHORUS:
Be Not Afraid
I Go Before You Always
Come Follow Me
And I Will Give You Rest

VERSE (2):
If you pass through raging waters
In the sea you shall not drown
If you walk amidst the burning flames
You shall not be harmed
If you stand before the power of Hell
And Death is at your side
Know that I am with you through it all

CHORUS

VERSE (3):
Blessed are the poor
For the Kingdom shall be theirs
Blessed are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me
Blessed, blessed are you

CHORUS (x2)

Amazing Grace

By Judy Collins & Choir

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I’m found.
Was blind but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Then when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Was blind, but now I see

Here I Am, Lord

By Dan Schutte

I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save
