And then, somewhere in the service, play this as my thank you to my family and friends who love me so very well and so much more than I deserve. But please, couple it with a video of them, especially my daughter.:
But don't do either until this is played, and everyone is reminded that I am at the throne of grace singing it (and maybe at that moment my voice will be made glorious...finally!):
And this song because it has always been my favorite:
And this one because I have never been able to get to the end without my eyes overflowing with tears:

Girl, what is happening to us? Are we going all soft? lol. I cried just reading & listening to your blog. Guess you saw where I recently posted the Carrie track instructing my 2 younger sisters to plan on forking out some cash to have Carrie & Vince do that song at my funeral. What's up with planning our funerals? Do you think at that point we will care what's going on down here, because where we will be is going to be awesomely overwhelming! Anyway, I've been a worshiper for as long as I can remember, but something happened in just this past year that has caused me to choke up at songs because they touch such a deep part of me. My family is quite used to it ("Oh, great...Momma's crying a-gain! Ugh"). But I do try my best to have a smile accompany my tears in church lest those around me that don't know me as well think "oh wow...that crazy woman reeeeally needs to pull her stuff together!"). Seriously, I loved everyone of your choices but might add these are others that of late have caused me to be a mess of tears because they so touch the core of my soul: "How He Loves Us" (the version by the writer John Mark McMillan...check out the video called the Story Behind the Song), "Shout To The Lord" still gets me, as does "Great Is Thy Faithfulness", Dorena Williamson singing "When I Think About The Lord", "You Are My All in All", just to name a few. But the one that makes me do the all out U-G-L-Y cry is Chris Rice's "Untitled Hymn". My bro-in-law okayed that one for his own funeral, so it has that sentimental attachment. But all by itself it speaks to every human emotion and place that we can be in our walk through this life. It literally slays me.
Lastly, you continue to bless and encourage me (and entertain in the process) through your blog writing. I thank God for you and the light you are online. Keep it up!
