Looking forward and realizing our love for the Lord will be no less than ever and we will continue to worship Him. I especially like the last verse in this hymn as it reminds us of eternity. This beloved hymn of faith has been popular at funerals for years and years. It is a great reminder of life after death. Take a look at the lyrics and then view the video below. The tribal feel to the song is much like their older recordings that were inspired by the years that they spent as missionaries on the Congo in South Africa. I especially like a rendition by the contemporary group Selah. This song, written by Julie Miller, has been recorded by a several people.

View and listen to the video in the upper right of this page, you will be so glad you did! All My Tears (Julie Miller) As believers, keeping our focus on the future home will help us to rejoice when one precedes us to our heavenly home. It reminds us that when our loved ones go on before us that in the end “we will be with them for longer than we were without…”, when we have that blessed reunion in heaven. This song is a lovely song to listen to and meditate upon the lyrics. Before Roger formed Legacy Five he was with the Cathedrals for 20 years. He was a pianist, song writer and co-founder of the gospel quartet Legacy Five. Roger was well known in the Southern Gospel community.

Jim Brady of the Booth Brothers was inspired by something Roger once said and then wrote this song for the Legacy Five to sing.

This great Southern Gospel ballad is a tribute to the late Roger Bennett who went to be with the Lord in 2007. Give some thought to it now and record your wishes so that your loved ones can remember you when it is time for them to celebrate your graduation to be with the Lord. Here are some good songs that you might consider at a funeral for a believer. I remember quite a few times singing Christians songs before we ended the service. It is great to sing Christian songs at their funeral, memorial service and even at the graveside. Sure we that are left behind will miss the presence of our beloved until we are reunited with them in Heaven, but it is a “home-going” for the beloved. When a Christian goes home to be with the Lord, it can be a celebration.
