"The Last Request" When you draw a picture ofme. Don't draw me as a saint. I've done some good, I've done some wrong So use all your paint. Not just the bright and light tones Use some gray and dark. In fact, don't put me down on canvas Paint me in your heart. Don't just remember the good times But remember some bad. For life is full of many things Some happy and some sad. But if you must do something Then I have one last request. Forgive me of the wrongs I've done And with the love that's left. Thank God for my soul's resting Thank God for I've been blessed. Thank God for all who loved me Praise God who loved my best. rb-er nf Qielehratinn PRELUDE PROCESSIONAL Hymn .......... ..... .......................... .."It Is Well With My Soul" SCRIPTURE The Old Testament .............Reverend Dr. W.
