What are some good songs for a baby's funeral?

Question

We are trying to put together a memorial cd and need some ideas.

Thanks!

Answer 1

i am sorry to hear about a loss of a baby. i don't know any good songs but there is a song by Mike Harris which always brings tears to my eyes. i know that he/she has passed but maybe this will be an encouragment of the wonderful what ifs. "Find Your Wings." It's basically how a parent has to learn to let go of their child and at the same time, the child will always know that mommy and daddy will always love them.
