AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares... we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me ... His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be... as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years... bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise... then when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.
IN THE GARDEN
I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of
God discloses.
Refrain: And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as
we tarry there, None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to
me Within my heart is ringing.
I'd stay in the garden with Him, Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
' Hother holds her children's hands for a while, but their hearts forever.

"To Those Who Must Remain"
To those of us who must remain, take comfort in knowing she's in no pain.
She's in the land of bright tomorrow, where's there no pain nor hurt nor sorrow.
She labored hard to gain her rest, and now she is among the blessed. Through the Pearly Gates she entered in,
to let h er Heavenly life begin. Knowing that her life down here is complete,
has taken her place at Jesus' feet. I only p ray that as I live,
Acknowledgements We, the family of Lucy'Nell Cotten, wish to humbly thank each of you for each act of kindness, your prayers, and words of comfort extended to us in our hour of sorrow. May G od bless and keep you all.
