This lovely and most widely known Christian prayer ... It can also be appropriate for a funeral service. This hymn originally appeared in the 1931 publication of Songs of Praise.
Funeral songs can be soothing ... The crescendo of the song builds a sense of hope and resilience. This contemporary Christian song imagines the beauty of heaven and the peace that comes after ...
Jimmy Carter had every right to choose whatever song he wanted for his funeral, but it seems odd for a Christian to ask us to imagine a world with no heaven.
