This recording was the one I chose to end my son’s memorial service. I had only known the song a few months before our loss and Heaven’s gain. The lyrics are so very fitting, the tune, solemn yet hopeful.
I love you Brandon and always will. My only comfort is knowing right where you are.
The song is “Come to Jesus.” I hope those who read the lyrics will allow the words to sink into your heart. I hope that if you do not know Jesus as your Savior that you will invite Him into your life and heart. Then you will have the peace of knowing a life eternal.
SUICIDE and Hope 
Dale, this is my absolute favorite song. I asked my pastor if he would play it at my baptism. He didn’t just play it – he had someone sing it live. ❤

That is awesome, Susan. I love the words so much. I wish I would have had the sense and composure to have had someone sing it rather than have the song played at Brandon’s memorial. There is a lot I would have done differently.

This song is so beautiful…what a perfect song to have chosen!
I think many of us, in hindsight, probably would change a detail or two regarding the funeral.
The words are very exciting in the song-regarding freedom and overall joy-yet the melody is so sad…Clearly, the melody is for the mortal “reality” only!
Thanks for sharing, Dale!
In Christ,
Donna

Brandon was well and truly blessed with love during his far-too brief time on this plane, my lovely friend.
