COMMITTAL SERVICE

 
WORDS from the SCRIPTURE Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 A CELEBRATION OF LIFE
For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under heaven;
BEAUTIFULLY AND FAITHFULLY LIVED
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
For everything there is a season,
and a time for every matter under heaven.

“MANSION OVER THE HILLTOP”
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop

In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Tho' often tempted, tormented and tested

And like the prophet, my pillow's a stone
And tho' I find here, no permanent dwelling
I know He'll give me, a mansion my own ROMYLYND FAITH SANCHEZ VISTO-JULIAN

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I’m heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown SAGAY BAPTIST CHURCH
