    "Magic and Loss" - Lou Reed

    When you pass through the fire
    you pass through humble
    You pass through a maze of self doubt
    When you pass through humble
    the lights can blind you
    Some people never figure that out
    You pass through arrogance you pass through hurt
    You pass through an ever present past
    and it's best not to wait for luck to save you
    Pass through the fire to the light

    As you pass through the fire
    your right hand waving
    there are things you have to throw out
    That caustic dread inside your head
    will never help you out
    You have to be very strong
    'cause you'll start from zero
    over and over again
    And as the smoke clears
    there's an all consuming fire
    lying straight ahead

    They say no one person can do it all
    but you want to in your head
    But you can't be Joyce
    so what is left instead
    You're stuck with yourself
    and a rage that can hurt you
    You have to start at the beginning again
    And just this moment
    This wonderful fire started up again

    When you pass through humble
    when you pass through sickly
    When you pass through
    I'm better than you all
    When you pass through
    anger and self deprecation
    and have the strength to acknowledge it all
    When the past makes you laugh
    and you can savor the magic
    that let you survive your own war
    You find that that fire is passion
    and there's a door up ahead not a wall

    As you pass through fire as you pass through fire
    trying to remember its name
    When you pass through fire licking at your lips
    you cannot remain the same
    And if the building' burning
    move towards that door
    but don't put the flames out
    There's a bit of magic in everything
    and then some loss to even things out

    Ben Harper - In The Lord's Arms Lyrics
    Like the wings stolen from an angel
    Like petals gone from a rose
    Like a dove caught in a storm

    Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

    The wind it blew straight through us
    And whispered to me in tongues
    I was told I was wrong

    Tonight he would be in the Lord's Arms
    Tonight he is in the Lord's Arms

    So I drinked this wine to him
    With each glass of memory
    He left with his crown of thornes

    Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
    Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
    Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

    I can only imagine - Mercy Me

    Hold me Jesus and/or If I Stand - Rich Mullins

    When God Ran -- Benny Hester

    Probably not appropriate for a Grandma but when I go I want them to play "There's a party going on upstairs" by the Electrics

    Hootie & the Blowfish - I'm Going Home

    Darius Rucker wrote it for his mother after she passed away.

    Mama please dont go
    Wont you stay here for one more day
    Ive been your boy for so long now
    Theres so much I still have to say

    Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand
    Like a soldier on his very last day
    Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
    As I heard the angels sing

    Chorus:
    Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
    Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.

    Something inside makes me scream
    How could God take you from a little boy
    Hell be alright, hes by my side
    Hes no little boy, hes my pride and joy

    Repeat chorus

    Summer on the radio and the phone rings
    And it was jeanette
    She said boy we had to let her go
    I begged her no, no not yet

    You left six of us to fend for ourselves
    I guess its part of someones master plan
    I see you laughing, youre my best friend
    Youre the light of the lamb, and I cried
    As the angels sing
    Repeat chorus twice
