When I Die...

Some of you know that I sing in a Christian community choir. We have been practicing a song by Keith Getty and Margaret Becker that I love. It has an Irish kind of sound to the music which is wonderful, but the words are so great too.  The name is "Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer (May This Journey)". After we sang it this week I told Bill I want this read or sung at my funeral.

Jesus draw me ever nearer

as I labor thro the storm

You have called me to this passage

and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing; 

may I rise on wings of faith.

And at the end of my heart's testing, 

with Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus, guide me thro the tempest; 

keep my spirit staid and sure. 

When the midnight meets the morning, 

let me love You even more. 

May this journey be a blessing, 

may I rise on wings of faith.

And at the end of my heart's testing, 

with Your likeness let me wake.

Lord draw me ever nearer!

Let the treasures of the trial

form within me as I go.

And at the end of this long passage

let me leave them at your throne.

May this journey be a blessing, 

may I rise on wings of faith.

And at the end of my heart's testing, 

with Your likeness let me wake.

With Your likeness let me wake.

And if you can get my ashes to Ireland, spread some at Glendalough!
