Hallelujah Legacy

Intro

Opening – soft organ or piano, choir talking rhythmically

“Psalm 78:4 says, ‘We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done!’

Today, we honor the faithful pioneers—those who have gone on to be with the Lord… but their legacy lives on, hallelujah!”

They prayed, they labored, they served the Lord!

Yes, they did! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”

Through trials! Through storms!

They never gave up!
