Prelude

Jesus Walked this Lonesome Valley

Verse 1
Jesus walked this lonesome valley
He had to walk it by Himself
O nobody else could walk it for Him
He had to walk it by Himself

Verse 2
We must walk this lonesome valley
We have to walk it by ourselves
O nobody else can walk it for us
We have to walk it by ourselves

Verse 3
You must go and stand your trial
You have to stand it by yourself
O nobody else can stand it for you
You have to stand it by yourself

I Will Always Love You

If I should stay
Well I would only be in your way
And so I’ll go, and yet I know
I’ll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter-sweet memories
That’s all I’m taking with me
Good-bye, please don’t cry
‘Cause we both know that I’m not
What you need

But I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you
I will always love you

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Postlude

Love is Like a Butterfly

Love is like a butterfly 
As soft and gentle as a sigh 
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings 
Love makes your heart feel strange inside 
It flutters like soft wings in flight 
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing 

I feel it when you’re with me 
It happens when you kiss me 
That rare and gentle feeling that I feel inside 
Your touch is soft and gentle 
Your kiss is warm and tender 
Whenever I am with you, I think of butterflies 

Love is like a butterfly (soft and gentle as a sigh)
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings 
Love makes your heart feel strange inside 
It flutters like soft wings in flight 
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing 

Your laughter brings me sunshine 
Every day is springtime 
And I am only happy when you are by my side 
How precious is this love we share 
How very precious, sweet and rare 
Together, we belong like daffodils and butterflies 

Love is like a butterfly 
As soft and gentle as a sigh 
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings 
Love makes your heart feel strange inside 
It flutters like soft wings in flight 
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing 

Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing
(Love is like a butterfly)
