Worship Medley-Joe Pace
Awesome God-Chester D. T. Baldwin
Thank You-Benita Washington
Stand-Donnie McClurkin
It's Over Now-Kirk Franklin

HOW EXCELLENT!

It seems like our choir ALWAYS sings I'll Fly Away (Hez version) at funerals... we get sick of it sometimes, lol!

One of our fellowship churches did Stand at a funeral once... and it was STRONG.

This dude sang STAND at my Aunt's funeral, it's like the expression of what we were feeling that day.  Very powerful.
