Sticking with our music<\/a> theme (and our memorial service<\/a> theme), here’s a song from a service I played on June 16. My friend Jim McKelvey, an outstanding singer, sang “Jesus Led Me All the Way,” written in 1954 by John W. Peterson. I don’t think I’ve heard since I played it for a tenor back in high school. I didn’t think of it then, but when it surfaced this time, I thought, “Wow. What a perfect song for a memorial service!” Here’s part of it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some day life\u2019s journey will be o\u2019er.
And I shall reach that distant shore;
I\u2019ll sing while ent\u2019ring heaven\u2019s door,
\u201cJesus led me all the way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus led me all the way,
Led me step by step each day;
I will tell the saints and angels as I lay my burdens down,
\u201cJesus led me all the way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the rest of the words here<\/a>. Click on our picture to hear Jim sing it – it’s lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. (Psalm 25.4, 5, ESV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, \u201cThis is the way, walk in it,\u201d when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
