We always sing upbeat songs at the end when they're viewing the body, like I'll fly away, When We All Get to Heaven, View that Holy City... like a medley of those until every one has filed out of the church.  But I guess it depends on what type of church yours is as to whether they want upbeat, or sort of quiet and somber.

For choir selections we sing a song called "Walk in Jerusalem Just Like John" , "Goin' up Yonder", (I don't know who sings these but there kind of old songs that everybody in our Jurisdiction knew, so it was easy to pull it together at a moments notice.  Is there another musician in your brotherhood of churches that knows some songs that everybody in your church will know?  That's one way to go, or you may have to try and pull together a rehearsal on like Friday night.

One song we always sing when the family is going in is the standard church hymn "What A Friend".

[sybesq]

If there's a good soloist available, you might want to try an oldie called "Walk Around Heaven (All Day)"...

[SHORTHAND]

ALSO YOU CAN DO I'M FREE BY MILTON BRUNSON, I SHALL WEAR A CROWN BY THOMAS WHITFIELD, GOING UP YONDER BY THE WALTER HAWKINS, SAFE IN HIS ARMS BY VICKIE WINANS OR MILTON BRUNSON. THATS JUST TO NAME A FEW.

[CESharp]

There is a song called "Anticipation"
Can't wait to see Him
Look upon His face
Bow down before Him
Thank Him for His grace

Shake hands with the elders
the twenty and the four
say hello to my loved ones
who've gone on before

Jesus Is preparing
A place just for me
And if you want to see me
In Heaven I will be

blah blah blah........it's a great song


1) Goin Up Yonder
2) Safe In His Arms
3) Walk Around Heaven
4) In My Name (Milton Brunson)
5) Just How Much You Can Bare
6) What God Has For Me
7) Just When I Need Him Most
