The comments under "Blessings" made me wonder about my favorite hymns, specifically what hymns are so meaningful to me that I want them at my funeral. With time and more thought I suspect this list will change, but here are my first thoughts:
- Amazing Grace of course would be on the list, just don't sing it to the tune of Gilligan's Island
- Be Thou My Vision has both meaningful lyrics and a haunting Celtic tune
- It Is Well With My Soul has always been a favorite.
- And finally, the version of Swing Low Sweet Chariot on the olds Blues CD I have
- Oops, I almost forgot Mahalia Jackson's song about what she's going to do when she gets to heaven.
What songs do you want played at your funeral?
