Michael, have been provided in order for you fully appreciate the meaning of the texts.
I didn't know today would be our last
PRELUDE Nights in White Satin Or that I’d have to say goodbye to you so fast
Für Elise, RORY POHL I'm so numb, I can't feel anymore
Prayin' you'd just walk back through that door
And tell me that I was only dreamin'
INTRODUCTORY RITES You're not really gone as long as I believe

There will be another angel

GREETING & PLACING OF THE PALL Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
GATHERING HYMN Here I Am, Lord
And I will hold on tight
I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. It's not my place to question
All who dwell in dark and sin; My hand will save. Only God knows why
I who make the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. I'm just jealous of the angels
Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send? Around the throne tonight

You always made my troubles feel so small

Here I am, Lord. It is I Lord.
And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall
I have heard you calling in the night.
In a world where heroes come and go
I will go, Lord, where you lead me.
Well God just took the only one I know
I will hold your peo-ple in my heart.
So I'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them. They turn a-way. But until then God must need another angel
I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. Around the throne tonight
I will speak my words to them. Whom shall I send? Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. It's not my place to question
I will set a feast for them. My hand will save. Only God knows why
Finest bread I will pro-vide, Till their hearts be satisfied.
I'm just jealous of the angels around the throne tonight
I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send?
Singin' hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
INVITATION TO PRAYER & OPENING PRAYER I'm just jealous of the angels around the throne tonight

My Jesus – There is an appointed time for everything,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. and a time for every affair under the heavens.
I love You above all things, A time to be born, and a time to die;
and I desire to receive You into my soul. a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, A time to kill, and a time to heal;
come at least spiritually into my heart. a time to tear down, and a time to build.
I embrace You as if You were already there A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
and unite myself wholly to You. a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
Never permit me to be separated from You. AMEN. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;
a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
COMMUNION HYMN I Am the Bread of Life A time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
I am the bread of life. You who come to Me shall not hunger. A time to rend, and a time to sew;
And who believe in Me shall not thirst a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
No one can come to Me. Unless the Father beckons A time to love, and a time to hate;
And I will raise you up a time of war, and a time of peace.
And I will raise you up What advantage has the worker from toil?
And I will raise you up on the last day
I have considered the task
The bread that I will give. Is My flesh for the life of the world which God has appointed for us to be busied about.
And if you eat of this bread.
You shall live forever. You shall live forever. He has made everything appropriate to its time,
and has put the timeless into our hearts,
I am the resurrection. I am the life, without our ever discovering,
If you believe in Me.   from beginning to end,
Even though you die. You shall live forever. the work which God has done.
Yes. LORD I believe. That You are the CHRIST.
The Son of GOD
Who has come. Into the world.
