Welcome

Opening Hymn: ‘Come As You Are’
Come as you are, that’s how I want you.
Come as you are, feel quite at home.
Close to my heart, loved and forgiven,
Come as you are, why stand alone?

No need to fear, love sets no limits.
No need to fear love never ends.
Don’t run away shamed and disheartened,
rest in My love, trust Me again.

I came to call sinners not just the virtuous.
I came to bring peace, not to condemn.
Each time you fail to live by My promise,
why do you think ‘d love you the less?

Come as you are, that’s how I love you.
Come as you are, trust Me again
Nothing can change the love that I bear you.
All will be well, just come as you are.

Eulogy

1st Reading:   Proverbs 3 : 5-10

Psalm:   ‘The Lord Is My Shepherd’
The Lord is my Shepherd and I want to follow
wherever He leads me, wherever He goes.
Over the mountains, the waters and byways,
valleys and highways He’s waiting for me.

I want to go to meet Him there,
to lay myself down in His love.
The Lord is my Shepherd and I want to follow
wherever He leads me, wherever He goes.

And while on the journey to where we are going
He promised to be there to help us along.
And over the mountains we’ll walk on together,
to know all the wonders He’s given to me.

I want to go to meet Him there,
to lay myself down in His love.
The Lord is my Shepherd and I want to follow
wherever He leads me, wherever He goes.

Gospel: John 14 : 1-6

Final Hymn: ‘Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace’
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.

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.

Make me a channel of Your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving to each one that we receive,
and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
