OPENING
Pastor Vokt
We’re pilgrims on the journey of the
narrow road
And those who’ve gone before us
line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging
the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to
God’s sustaining grace.

Surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who’ve gone before us, let us
leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on
through godly lives.

“Oh may all who come behind us find us
faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to
believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find faithful.

“After all our hope and dreams have
come and gone
And our children sift through all we’ve
left behind
May the clues that they discover and
the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the
road we each must find.

“Oh may all who come behind us find us
faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to
believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey….
Oh, may all who come behind us find us…

faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many
things. Come and share your master’s happiness.”
(Matthew 25:21-22)
“Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; His
greatness no one can fathom. One generation will
commend your works to another; they will tell of your
