Deep are the memories, precious they stay;
No passing of time, can take them away.

Entrance Hymn Lord, I come to your awesome presence
From the shadows into your radiance
Shine Jesus Shine By the blood I may enter your brightness
Graham Kendrick Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Lord, the light of your love is shining Shine on me, shine on me
In the midst of the darkness, shining Shine, Jesus, shine
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us Fill this land with the Father’s glory
Set us free by the truth you now bring us Blaze, Spirit, blaze
Shine on me, shine on me Set our hearts on fire
Shine, Jesus, shine Flow, river, flow
Fill this land with the Father’s glory Flood the nations with grace and mercy

Send forth your word

Hymn – I am the Bread of Life
John Michael Talbot
I am the bread of Life, he who comes to me shall not hunger;
He who believes in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me unless the Father draw him.
And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up,
And I will raise him up on the last day.
The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world
And he who eats of this bread
He shall live forever, he shall live forever.

Closing Hymn (during procession) When I look down, from lofty mountain
How great thou art grandeur
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder And see the brook, and feel the gentle
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made breeze
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder [Refrain]
Thy power throughout the universe displayed Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
[Refrain] Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
How great Thou art, how great Thou art And when I think, that God, His Son not
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee sparing
How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
When through the woods, and forest glades He bled and died to take away my sin
I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will I miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savoured much;
Good friends, good time,
A loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don’t lengthen your time with undue grief.

Lift up your heart & peace to thee,
God wanted me now –
He set me free.

I sincerely thank you for your prayers, love, kindness, expressions of
sympathy and presence here today. For family and close friends who are
unable to be here with me today, you are with me in prayer and in my
heart. I ask that you remember Mum in your prayers.
God Bless and love, Jojo
