Celebrant Mel Eady | Organist Donald Moorhead

AMAZING GRACEAmazing grace, (how sweet the sound)

That saved and strengthened me,I once was lost, but now am 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.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,I have already come,

‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,Than when we’d first begun.

GENERAL SHARINGDuring the service there will be an

TIME OF REFLECTIONJust The Way You Are - Bruno Mars

Close Your Eyes - Michael Buble

I’M FREEDon’t grieve for me, for now I’m free

I’m following the path that was laid for meI took a hand when I heard a call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another dayto laugh, to love, to work or play

Tasks left undone must stay that wayI found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a voidThen fill it with a remembered joyA friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrowI wish you the sunshine of tomorrowMy life’s been full, I savoured much –

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too briefDon’t lengthen it now with undue griefLift up your heart and share with me;

Because now, — I’ve been set free.
