I need a motivational song to sing for a cancer benefit?

Question

I was asked to sing an inspirational song for a member of my church who has level 4 brain cancer. I need something, preferably religious, that doesn't have anything about dying in it.

Answer 1

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

Answer 2

I think the song 'Come Away With Me' by Norah Jones would be a good fit. It reminds each cancer patient that they should spend each moment with their friends and family at another place: like they aren't diagnosed with the illness and can live life without worries. Maybe you could say a little speech about why you are singing this song before you sing it so people don't think you mean 'Come Away With Me' as in going to heaven. I don't know, whatever you think. Just a suggestion! What a wonderful thing to do. I am a dancer, and you have inspired me to dance for a benefit of some sort and raise money. Keep in touch and let us know how everything goes.

Answer 3

There's a song by Melissa Ethridgethat she sang on the Oprah Show last year as you know she is a Cancer surviver. Good Luck finding the perfect song.

Answer 4

Voice Of Truth - Casting Crowns

Great Song

Answer 5

'It Is Well With My Soul'

'Abide With Me' - it has a very old style, but the origins of the song are very interestings, especially considering the circumstances referred to. history: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/a/b/abidewme.htm

Heal Us, Emmanuel: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/h/e/healusem.htm

Have Thine Own Way, Lord: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/h/t/hthineow.htm

there are many many more at http://www.cyberhymnal.org/top/topics.htm.
I would say look at the ones under Healing or Hope. I am not sure what level 4 means, but it sounds terminal.

I hope you find something that works. You have more courage than I. I would not be able to sing in the situation without crying.

Answer 8

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" - Simon & Garfunkel

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
