What are your songs?


I have this file with the words WHEN I DIE.....
A few years back my hubby and I took a trip to Cabo for our 10th anniversary. I panicked right before we were leaving and made my husband write letters to the kids in case we died. I also wrote some letters and put what I wanted my songs to be at my funeral.

Here are my songs. I'll Fly Away by Jars of Clay, I Can Only Imagine by Mercy Me , and a new one I just discovered, I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin.

This may sound morbid, but I want my death to be easy and no frills when that time comes. I want to go out of this world as CHEAP as possible too!

Here are the words to I WILL RISE:

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
[x2]

[Chorus:]
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

  1. This is a fantastic song! I also really enjoy it and I tear up when my 3 year old sings it!
