Song after 1st Eulogy | Doon Lang
Kung natapos ko ang aking pag-aaral Disin sana’y mayro’n na akong dangal Na ihaharap sa ‘yo at ipagyayabang Sa panaginip lang ako may pagdiriwang
Yaman at katanyagan sa akin ay wala Kakisigan ko ay bunga ng isang sumpa Ang aking ina ang tangi kong tagahanga Sa panaginip lang ako may magagawa
Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin Doon ay kaya kong igapos, ihip ng hangin Doon ay kaya kong ipagbawal, buhos ng ulan Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t’wina Doon lang
Kung ‘di dahil sa barkada ay tapos ko na Pag-aaral na nagbibigay ng halaga Sa awitin kong ito mo lang madarama Mga pangarap kong walang pangangamba
Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin Doon ay kaya kong igapos, ihip ng hangin Doon ay kaya kong ipagbawal, buhos ng ulan Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t’wina Doon lang
Doon ay kaya kong ipunin lahat ng bituin Doon ay kaya kong igapos, ihip ng hangin Doon ay kaya kong ipagbawal, buhos ng ulan Sa panaginip lang kita nahahagkan t’wina Doon lang (doon ay kaya kong ipagbawal, buhos ng ulan) Sa panaginip lang kita mahahagkan t’wina Doon lang
Song after 2nd Eulogy | You Raise Me Up
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary When troubles come and my heart burdened be Then, I am still and wait here in the silence Until You come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas I am strong, when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas I am strong, when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be. You raise me up to more than I can be.

Entrance Song | Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come ‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home
First Reading | 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6-10
A reading from the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians.
We have an everlasting home in Heaven. We know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in Heaven. So we are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body and go home to the Lord. Therefore, we aspire to please Him, whether we are at home or away. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what He did in the body, whether good or evil.
The Word of the Lord R./ Thanks be the God.

Gospel Reading | Luke 12:35-40
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke
R./ Glory to You, O Lord
Be prepared.
Jesus told His disciples: “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in his way, blessed are those servants. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
The Gospel of the Lord. R./ Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ
Reflection After Homily (if needed) | I Have Finished the Race
I have kept the faith I have entered the gates He says, ‘Come to me and I will give you rest.’ Like the angels and saints I have fought the good fight Finally, I see Him face to face
I have finished Finished the race Every tear from my eyes He’s wiped away No more death No more mourning I am clothed in God’s glory I have finished Finished the race
My Shepherd has called He has called me by name To abide in Him in Paradise
He restores my soul For His love has conquered all I am with the One Who never dies!
I have finished Finished the race Every tear from my eyes He’s wiped away No more death No more mourning I am clothed in God’s glory I have finished Finished the race
I am now at peace Kneeling at His feet Singing praise to God Before His throne This is not goodbye I am by His side Oh, Jesus He has called me home!
I have finished Finished the race Every tear from my eyes He’s wiped away No more death No more mourning I am clothed in God’s glory I have finished Finished the race
I have finished Finished the race

Final Song | Hindi Kita Malilimutan
Hindi kita malilimutan Hindi kita pababayaan Nakaukit magpakailanman Sa ‘king palad ang ‘yong pangalan
Malilimutan ba ng ina Ang anak na galing sa kanya Sanggol sa kanyang sinapupunan Paano Niya matatalikdan
Ngunit kahit na malilimutan Ng ina ang anak niyang tangan
Hindi kita malimutan Kailanma’y ‘di pababayaan Hindi kita malilimutan Kailanma’y ‘di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan Kailanma’y ‘di pababayaan Hindi kita malilimutan Kailanma’y ‘di pababayaan
Additional Songs (if needed)
To Where You Are
Who can say for certain Maybe you’re still here I feel you all around me Your memories so clear Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak You’re still an inspiration Can it be
That you are my Forever love And you are watching over me From up above
Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for a while To know you’re there A breath away’s not far to where you are
Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream? And isn’t faith believing All power can’t be seen As my heart holds you Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me Every day
‘Cause you are my Forever love Watching me From up above
And I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on And never leave
Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for a while To know you’re there A breath away’s not far to where you are
I know you’re there A breath away’s not far to where you are
