Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely?
And long for heaven and home

When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
and I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches (I know)
He watches
I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know, He watches me
He watches me
He watches
I know that he
He watches over me.

Andy, I am deeply sorry to hear about your loss. Please know we are here for you when the pain hurts too much hug

For your mother:

Lightning Crashes

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide







For you:


Sunshine

It's getting crazy in this place I'm in
No room to breathe, my head's in a spin
No tears to cry cuz I've cried them all
Nothing to cling to, to catch me if I fall

And I know that I can't, wait for help to come
Gotta find the strength in me, to race another run.

I still live, for the sunshine
don't give up on the sunshine
I still live, for the sunshine
Sunshine...yeah, the sunshine

Soon I know that this world will end
But I hope to find peace within
A kind of cure, for all the ills
Even when I know most deaths are senseless kills

And I know that I can't wait for help to come
Gotta find the strength in me, race another run.

I still live, for the sunshine
don't give up on the sunshine
I still live, for the sunshine
oh the Sunshine...yeah, the sunshine.....



peace pray rose

Thank you so much everyone. Those were some really special and great song dedications. I can't tell you guys how much better I felt when I logged onto the org and saw this thread was three pages long. You guys have really come out in full force and showed lots of love. I can't tell you have much I appreciate it. I know we're all just faceless screen names in the internet but this thread has been really comforting after all the family and friends have left and gone home. In a way, we are all friends right here on the org.

Anyway, the funeral was absolutely beautiful. I saw a lot of my mother's friends that I have not seen in ages. Beautiful flowers and plants were sent. The pain didn't hit me until I got ready to leave the house to go the funeral. I broke down so hard that every nerve in my body was tingling. I didn't think I was going to be able to drive so I tried to call someone to pick me up. I couldn't reach anyone because everyone had already left. I had no choice but to pull myself together, get my strength, and drive myself because my mother deserved my presense at her funeral. I arrived late and one of my best friends said....."He wasn't tore up. Y'all know him. He just has to make a fashionable entrance". lol

The songs played were "Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" by G.C. Cameron and "Jesus Is Love" by The Commodores. The organist played "Amazing Grace" and "In The Garden". I would have loved to have ended the ceremony with "Do Not Pass Me By" by MC Hammer to liven things up but you know some people would just not understand.

Anyway, once again, thanks. You guys are the best!

sosgemini said:

pray for you buddy..


but seriously, this is vainandy's momma...the before mentions songs just wont do...here's a more appropriate tune to play:

Chorus:
She's a brick----house
Mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact,
ain't holding nothing back.

She's a brick----house
She's the one, the only one,
who's built like a amazon
We're together everybody knows,
and here's how the story goes.

Verse:
1. She knows she got everything
a woman needs to get a man, yeah.
How can she use, the things she use
36-24-36, what a winning hand!


(Chorus)


Verse:
2. The clothes she wears, the sexy ways,
make an old man wish for younger days
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees


(Chorus)


Bridge:
Shake it down, shake it down now (repeat)


falloff

Oh, I absolutely love you for that! My mother was always a very large woman and we used to joke with her about that song. When she died, she was so much smaller than we had ever seen her because she wouldn't eat because her brain was telling her that she couldn't swallow. I would much rather have my overweight mother. I did make her laugh though. I said...."If this is your crazy idea of a diet, you need to give it up. We ain't never had a small mama and we don't want one now". lol

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

hug I'm so sorry about your loss. During your grieving process, please, please remember to celebrate your mother's life. It doesn't have to be the most solemnest of occasions.

At my mother's funeral I played all of her favorite songs. I didn't care if anyone thought they were inappropriate or not sad, they were the songs that when my mother heard them, she was always smiling and that's the image of my mother that I needed to keep with me.

So I dedicate to your mother, her absolute favorite song, by whichever artist that made it even if that's Alice Cooper. lol

Play the one that'll make you smile, when you remember her singing along to it or dancing to it. Let that be the memory of your mother that you carry with you as you continue on your journey.

rose


Thank you. I see we think alike and that's exactly what I did last night. I played as many songs that I could that I remembered that she liked. I played some of her favorite slow jams but you know I also had to play a lot of her favorite "ass shakers" as I could to ease the pain. lol

Yesterday was definately the saddest day of my life when I received the phone call that my mother had passed away. After two and a half months of being in hospitals and nursing homes, she finally is at peace and out of the constant suffering she has been experiencing.

The funeral is tomorrow morning and I am so glad I was able to talk my sister and brother into letting me choose two songs to be played at her funeral to give it some sort of personalization. We will be playing "Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" by G.C. Cameron and "Jesus Is Love" by The Commodores. The funeral home's organist will also be playing "Amazing Grace" and we told her to play whatever she felt appropriate for the other song.

Since I had to record the two songs onto CD this evening, I continued recording on the CD so we would have some music for the get-together at home after the funeral. Here is what I have come up with....

Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday - G.C. Cameron
Jesus Is Love - The Commodores
Do Not Pass Me By - MC Hammer
A Man Called Jesus - Mavis Staples
Thunder - Prince
Spirit In The Sky - ? (a pop/rock song from the 1970s that I recorded off the radio)
I'll Take You There - The Staple Singers
Put Your Hands Together - The O'Jays
Sing Hallelujah - ? (a house music song I recorded off cable radio years ago)
Carry On - Martha Wash
I Want To Know What Love Is - Foreigner
I Miss You - Klymaxx
Memory Lane - Minnie Riperton
Jesus Is Just Alright - The Doobie Brothers
Heaven - Prince

Since the org is kinda like an extended family, please dedicate something to my newly departed mother, Ann.

My mother passed away 8 years ago, and 4 me ther song for your mothher would be A song for mama;by Boys2Men,or Al Greens For the good times; cause I know there were a lot.
