When my father in law was dieing I sang to him. It was a Psalm
Psalm 121

I lift my eyes up
Unto the Mountains
Where does my help come from?

My help comes from YOU
Maker of heaven
Creator of the Earth

Oh how I need you Lord
You’re my only hope
You’re my only prayer

So I will wait for you
To come and rescue me
to come and give me Life!

It was such a peaceful moment, and he died a few seconds later. I hope he died with HOPE!

@Horus515 Also Danny Boy, the Yiddish version for Bar Mitzvahs. “Danny Boy, my circumsized son, come over here and get your gun. You’re 13 now, and you’re a Jew, so go visit Israel, smatterchew?” And so on…
