Leroy Miller - Eulogy

Old Testament

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

Psa 71:1  In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 

Psa 71:2  Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 

Psa 71:3  Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. 

Psa 71:4  Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 

Psa 71:5  For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. 

Psa 71:6  By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. 

Psa 71:7  I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. 

Psa 71:8  Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. 

Psa 71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. 

The Coming of the Lord

1Th 4:13  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 

1Th 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 

1Th 4:15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 

1Th 4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

1Th 4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 

1Th 4:18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

PRAYER:

WORDS OF COMFORT: 5 Minutes

2Ti 4:6  For I am now ready to be offered, (poured out ) and the time of my departure is at hand. 

2Ti 4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 

2Ti 4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 

Pulled to Heaven’s dugout:

Starter pitches 5 innings with a lead and his team wins by keeping the lead he gets the win.

Prayer ;

Commit the body;

For as much as it has pleased our Heavenly Father in His wise providence to take unto Himself our beloved _brother Leroy Miller_, we therefore commit his body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God in our Savior Jesus Christ who shall change the body of our humiliation and fashion it anew in the likeness of His own body of glory according to the working of His mighty power. Then we shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord,

Benediction....
