Remembrance & Funeral Worship Songs 

Comfort, Hope & Christian Confidence in Life and Death

Prelude

Services of remembrance, thanksgiving and funerals require songs that hold together honesty, comfort, gospel clarity, and eternal hope. Worship leaders often struggle to find songs that are:

singable by a mixed-age congregation,

biblically grounded rather than sentimental, and

pastorally gentle for grieving families.

KDMusic has several songs that speak into these moments with truth, dignity and hope rooted in Scripture.

Jesus Loves Me (He is Strong) ~ How do you cope with uncertainty? 

Jesus Loves Me (He is Strong) ~ is a study of the much loved classic children’s hymn
'Jesus loves Me This I Know" by Anna Bartlett Warner & William Batchelder Bradbury.

So, how do you cope with uncertainty?

It's been an interesting few years lately! Many of the things we took for granted have been rattled to the core. Doesn't it make you a bit nostalgic for 'simpler' more certain days? But of course that's a big lie too isn't it!
The past is only certain because it's fixed when we look back on it.
At the…

Come Lord Come ~ Sunshine for Rainy Days  

Kingston, Jamaica | Newry, N.Ireland

 

I recently heard a clip of Tom Hanks being interviewed. He was asked why he felt compelled to act. He cried. He was searching for a vocabulary, a way to express his ‘loneliness’.

Jacob’s Ladder ~ Sunshine For Rainy Days  

Orangefield, Belfast | N.Ireland

Most musicians have a tune they unconsciously turn to if they’re bored waiting for a practice to start. Or maybe they’re a bit nervous and need to auto pilot to reassure themselves they can still play. You know, like something you catch yourself singing in the shower, or humming when you walk the dog?

John Hegarty, Lead Guitarist

We're allowed to have fun, right?

For a while, my ‘unthinking twiddle tune’ was the main riff for this song. It’s combines 9th’s & 7th’s with a…

Sun & Rain ~ Sunshine for Rainy Days  

Le Pas Opton, Vendee | France

I L-O-V-E summer in France, they really are a blessed nation.

They’ve got the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees, the Alps, great rivers, varied countryside, magnificent villages & chateaux, rich street music, style, speciality foods, sun ripened fruit & veg, and of course, the language of love.

Our own special wee place there has been the Spring Harvest Christian campsite, Le Pas Opton, near St Gilles Croix de Vie, in the Vendee ( between Nantes & Bordeaux).
