I sang this at the funeral of a close friend when I'd been seventeen. I got horribly choked up by the end of the song but did finish it out.
The images used in this video are just grand. I find myself with tears in my eyes as I write this now as my mind is flooded with memories of better times.
I think this is the only song that can bring me to tears when I hear it whether it is sung or an instrmental version. I truly believe God Himslf inspired the original composer to write this song....to aid in bringing us closer to Him & His Son and make us totally reliant on His help. This is truly a beautiful piece of work.
The organist in my church told me that this was always played at funerals, and I couldn't imagine such a pretty song at such a sad event. A girl from my school has just relapsed from Lukemia, and is expected not to make it much longer. Suddenly I understand why...this is the only song that's bringing me any comfort. < 3
They played it at my brother's funeral too, going to be 14 yrs this May. I was 16, he was 21. I'll always miss him and I can't believe I'm starting to cry as I write this, hurts so bad anytime I hear this song....ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG...R.I.P. JERRY
yeah so this song was played at my grandmothers funeral too..from some of the comments ive seen this song seems to be a popular one at many funerals for grandmothers..love this song..is one of my most favorite church songs..
Wow why is everyone in such funerals. I have only been to like one funeral that I know about and I didn't even know that girl. Yet I cried for days. Even on her birthday I got her a present and put it in a special box that had things in it from her funeral. It is amazing though because she died from swallowing a small bead.
When I hear this song I feel close to tears. It was sung at my Uncles funeral. Even when it is sung on normal Sundays at church it reminds me of him x
You are also in my prayers. I hope that you do not get any more pains or illnesses because of the second hand smoke. May God bless you and keep you in his prayers now and forever.
like this song I went to a funeral yesterday and they I heard this song I got in stuck in my head cause it is so pretty and I like it. It really makes you think
Amen to that. I remember hearing this song at my grandfather's funeral in 1st grade. Everytime i hear it at church, it just brings back everything. Sort of a happy song, but sad at the same time.
I loved it. this song is very beautiful. in italian is "su ali d'aquila". it is the song for the funeral of "big luciano" LUCIANO PAVAROTTI. this song help me to the comunion with my JESUS.
@demzma - im sure you mom knew it and heard it clear as a sunny day. i lost my mom 3yrs ago-i still feel the same sickness the day she died. dont listen to people who say," oh, dont worrry-it gets better. they are trying to sooth you- bet they have both parets still. i dont mean to sound harsh-just experience. g0od luck!! god blesss your mothers soul- today!!
what a nice song.

It is popular at funerals because it is about god picking you up and taking you home to live with him in heaven.
