We're really happy to invite you
to this special music program
00:00:01.36\00:00:06.03
on the second
coming of Jesus Christ.
00:00:06.23\00:00:08.87
What a wonderful time
to be alive, isn't it?
00:00:09.17\00:00:11.21
It really is. The closing
moments of earth's history.
00:00:11.41\00:00:13.44
A generation that will be
able to see Jesus come back
00:00:13.64\00:00:15.88
in the clouds of glory. When
you just think about it, Danny,
00:00:16.08\00:00:18.91
and some of the words
of some of the songs that
00:00:19.01\00:00:20.85
they're going to be singing...
we're all going to be singing
00:00:20.95\00:00:22.88
today, it's so exciting
to think that this is really
00:00:22.98\00:00:27.42
going to happen.
Absolutely. We've read about it.
00:00:27.46\00:00:30.49
But Jesus said it's going to
happen - yes - so I believe it
00:00:30.69\00:00:33.40
if He said it,
don't you? If He says it,
00:00:33.53\00:00:35.36
ya'll believe it? I
know we've got a choir here
00:00:35.56\00:00:37.57
that believe what the Lord
said is going to happen, right?
00:00:37.73\00:00:40.37
It's the truth because He's the
Way, the Truth, and the Life.
00:00:40.57\00:00:43.00
He said: "If it were not
so, I would have told you. "
00:00:43.20\00:00:46.71
So we believe with all of
our hearts that Jesus Christ is
00:00:46.91\00:00:50.35
coming again. And we've been
preaching this and singing this
00:00:50.45\00:00:54.02
especially the last year or so.
00:00:54.22\00:00:56.22
And this is part of the
project on the second coming
00:00:56.62\00:00:59.35
and I am for one really
being blessed by this music.
00:00:59.65\00:01:03.89
It gives us great
privilege to introduce
00:01:04.33\00:01:07.26
some of the special guests
that we have with us today.
00:01:07.46\00:01:09.76
I think I'll start
at the piano over here
00:01:09.96\00:01:11.77
we have Bro. Lari Goss. Lari,
give a little wave out here
00:01:11.97\00:01:15.04
to our audience. And for those
of you that don't know Lari
00:01:15.34\00:01:18.84
you might want to
look him up on the Internet
00:01:19.24\00:01:21.38
because if we gave
all of his accolades -
00:01:21.58\00:01:23.68
all he's done - we'd be
here all day, wouldn't we?
00:01:23.88\00:01:25.71
That's right. But Lari is a
legendary composer/arranger.
00:01:25.91\00:01:28.98
A wonderful guy... loves Jesus.
00:01:29.28\00:01:31.35
His wife Carolyn is out
here in the audience also.
00:01:31.55\00:01:33.66
We're glad that she's here.
And Lari, thank you so much
00:01:33.96\00:01:36.76
what you have done
orchestrating all of this.
00:01:36.96\00:01:39.63
Literally: the choir, the music,
the orchestra. Every part of it.
00:01:39.73\00:01:43.40
And for actually helping
to write some of these songs.
00:01:43.60\00:01:46.37
And we'll talk about
those as we go. But thank you
00:01:46.57\00:01:48.94
so much. Thank you. God
bless you. What a privilege
00:01:49.14\00:01:51.17
it is to have you here.
Well, Danny, another one of the
00:01:51.37\00:01:53.71
writers for this
music is Danny Shelton.
00:01:53.81\00:01:56.34
And you have written some
songs that you have told me
00:01:56.75\00:02:01.18
that you felt God just
really gave them to you.
00:02:01.38\00:02:04.22
And when you are in that writing
experience and all of a sudden
00:02:04.52\00:02:10.09
those words come
how does it feel?
00:02:10.19\00:02:12.59
Well, it's really...
Sometimes it's very emotional.
00:02:13.09\00:02:16.26
One of the songs we'll
do here in just a little bit
00:02:16.77\00:02:19.30
Just In Time... when I wrote
it it's the first time I've ever
00:02:19.40\00:02:22.14
written a song that I
started crying as I was
00:02:22.34\00:02:24.34
writing it because I
knew it wasn't from me.
00:02:24.54\00:02:26.78
Right. I knew it
was from the Lord.
00:02:27.08\00:02:28.41
We were asking for music
that would bring honor and glory
00:02:28.44\00:02:31.38
to Him and
proclaim His second coming
00:02:31.58\00:02:33.38
to a lost and dying world.
00:02:33.68\00:02:35.02
And so I'm thankful for that.
00:02:35.18\00:02:36.89
But you know, God
gets the credit of course.
00:02:37.09\00:02:39.02
We say God gets the
credit for all the good things;
00:02:39.32\00:02:41.26
we just take the
credit for the bad things.
00:02:41.46\00:02:42.92
So what you hear you don't like
I'll take the blame for that.
00:02:43.12\00:02:46.13
But also Yvonne Lewis
helped with some and Lari Goss
00:02:46.36\00:02:50.47
wrote some. And we'll
talk about them a little bit
00:02:50.77\00:02:52.70
before each song. OK. But
we're thankful that we have
00:02:52.90\00:02:56.30
this music and we have
these folk from Nashville.
00:02:56.40\00:02:58.94
Reggie Smith: stand up please.
00:02:59.14\00:03:00.94
Reggie. All of you - our
viewers - know Reggie Smith
00:03:01.34\00:03:04.18
and Reggie's know
around the world for his music.
00:03:04.48\00:03:07.38
Incredible job that he
does. I want you to introduce...
00:03:07.52\00:03:10.05
you brought some of the
folks who actually sang on this
00:03:10.25\00:03:13.19
in the studio. And we
want you to introduce them
00:03:13.39\00:03:16.09
and tell a little
bit about each one.
00:03:16.29\00:03:17.63
I would be blessed to.
Danny, we're just honored
00:03:17.73\00:03:20.96
to have these guys here.
They've sung on so many records
00:03:21.16\00:03:23.57
and CDs there in Nashville.
And they're just so excited
00:03:23.77\00:03:26.27
to be here live to do
this DVD with all of us and
00:03:26.37\00:03:29.50
with all of our 3ABN family.
00:03:29.60\00:03:31.47
On my far left here...
Rod, you've got to stand up
00:03:31.77\00:03:34.51
and I have to stand on my
tiptoes. This guy's pretty tall.
00:03:34.71\00:03:36.48
So, this is Rod
Fletcher Danny and Jim.
00:03:36.68\00:03:39.11
Rod is a dear friend.
We go back a long time
00:03:39.15\00:03:42.02
singing together
actually at Disney. A long time.
00:03:42.22\00:03:44.55
We're just not going to
talk about the years. But Rod,
00:03:44.65\00:03:46.35
first of all, is a
father and a husband. All right.
00:03:46.55\00:03:49.09
And secondly he's an
incredible incredible singer.
00:03:49.42\00:03:52.56
Bass singer. Bass/baritone.
00:03:52.76\00:03:54.83
And he sings at
the Grand Ole Opry
00:03:55.13\00:03:56.46
so if you ever go to the
Grand Ole Opry you'll see Rod
00:03:56.50\00:03:58.03
singing with all the
artists that come through.
00:03:58.23\00:04:00.50
Rod Fletcher is here, and
we're just honored to have Rod.
00:04:00.70\00:04:03.14
Thanks, Rod. All right.
00:04:03.24\00:04:04.57
Next to Rod we
have Marty Funderburk.
00:04:04.61\00:04:07.14
He's a fellow Mississippian
like Ladye and myself.
00:04:07.34\00:04:10.91
Marty is a
phenomenal artist himself
00:04:11.21\00:04:14.12
but I tell you what: the
Lord has gifted him with song
00:04:14.32\00:04:16.85
and he writes some of the
most beautiful beautiful songs.
00:04:17.15\00:04:19.95
I know, Yvonne, you've
recorded some of his songs
00:04:20.06\00:04:21.96
too. And then Marty and I have
written a few things together.
00:04:22.29\00:04:24.93
I am in the
room as he's writing.
00:04:25.13\00:04:27.60
So that's the way it rolls.
But Marty is a dear, dear friend
00:04:28.00\00:04:30.53
and a great singer, and we
are just honored to have Marty
00:04:30.63\00:04:32.90
Funderburk. Marty
wrote a song that you guys do
00:04:33.00\00:04:35.27
on your DVD here. Absolutely.
Somewhere Between Heaven...
00:04:35.47\00:04:38.51
Somewhere Between
Heaven and Earth. And we wrote
00:04:38.61\00:04:40.01
Hold On together also. All
right. And a song Yvonne sings
00:04:40.21\00:04:43.14
Wonders Never Cease. Oh,
for many years. I mean that's...
00:04:43.35\00:04:45.35
Somewhere Between Heaven
and Earth. I cry when I hear it
00:04:45.55\00:04:47.72
every time they sing
it. I guess I'm gettin' old
00:04:47.82\00:04:49.98
or more emotional,
but I'm telling you
00:04:50.19\00:04:51.79
when you think about
that: suspended somewhere.
00:04:51.99\00:04:54.89
And you say: "Wow!
This is incredible! "
00:04:55.09\00:04:57.63
Marty, thank you so much
for what you do for the cause
00:04:57.83\00:05:00.40
of God. Thank you Marty.
And right next to me this is
00:05:00.50\00:05:03.20
Tammy Jensen. And first of
all Tammy is a mother of three.
00:05:03.30\00:05:05.97
All right. Mother of
three and a wonderful wife.
00:05:06.27\00:05:09.57
At least that's the
way I hear it. OK. OK.
00:05:09.77\00:05:11.54
And you know what?
Tammy is an amazing singer,
00:05:13.31\00:05:15.51
an amazing person.
She's a whole person.
00:05:15.71\00:05:18.01
You know, she's whole
and she loves the Lord.
00:05:18.41\00:05:20.75
All of these people love
the Lord with all their heart,
00:05:20.95\00:05:22.78
soul, and mind. Great families.
00:05:22.98\00:05:24.92
You know what? She's just
a great singer. And as I tell
00:05:25.22\00:05:27.22
a lot of people she can flat
out hold the alto section down
00:05:27.32\00:05:30.36
by herself. So Tammy
is an amazing person.
00:05:30.76\00:05:33.29
I know Melody has
made fast friends with her.
00:05:33.40\00:05:35.26
They stand by each other
in the sessions and stuff.
00:05:35.56\00:05:37.60
So we're just very
honored to have Tammy with us
00:05:37.80\00:05:40.04
in all the sessions too.
00:05:40.24\00:05:41.57
Melody has told me "this
woman has the most wonderful
00:05:41.60\00:05:44.84
voice. You would not
believe how good she is. "
00:05:45.04\00:05:46.98
Amazing. She's amazing. And
we've heard you. So thank you
00:05:47.11\00:05:49.38
so much for
sharing your talent with us
00:05:49.48\00:05:51.68
here in southern Illinois.
00:05:51.88\00:05:53.21
And next to her, of course,
everybody knows this woman.
00:05:54.18\00:05:56.62
I know you know Melody.
00:05:56.65\00:05:58.22
Melody Dawn. And first
of all, I've got to tell you
00:05:58.42\00:06:00.26
ladies and those of you
who don't know it but Melody is
00:06:00.36\00:06:02.09
a mother of eight.
"Eight is enough" she said.
00:06:02.22\00:06:05.89
No, so... But we just
go: "We're not worthy;
00:06:06.29\00:06:08.96
we're not worthy. " But
she's so calm with her children
00:06:09.06\00:06:11.73
and she's just so fantastic.
00:06:11.93\00:06:13.74
And she said: "Yeah, I'm
just holding it inside. You have
00:06:14.04\00:06:16.34
no idea what's inside... you
have no idea. " But Melody...
00:06:16.44\00:06:19.07
Melody has that smooth,
wonderful Karen Carpenter voice
00:06:19.27\00:06:22.44
that we all love here.
And when she sings we just go:
00:06:22.54\00:06:25.45
"Oh... that's it, that's it. "
00:06:25.65\00:06:27.22
And Melody has joined us
on the sessions in Nashville.
00:06:27.42\00:06:29.38
Right. We're so
honored to have her.
00:06:29.48\00:06:30.82
She can flat out
sing that alto, man!
00:06:30.85\00:06:33.46
That low alto. Does a great job.
00:06:33.66\00:06:35.46
We're so glad to be
singing with you, Melody.
00:06:35.66\00:06:38.36
And you know this lady right
here. She's directing the choir.
00:06:38.66\00:06:41.30
E.T. here. This is our director
and producer right here.
00:06:41.50\00:06:44.03
E.T. We couldn't
get you to turn around?
00:06:44.23\00:06:45.80
Oh, there she is. There
you go... just for a second.
00:06:45.90\00:06:49.10
There you go. All
right. And E.T. actually
00:06:49.30\00:06:51.27
worked a great deal
on this project also
00:06:51.47\00:06:54.01
with you, Danny, and Lari.
00:06:54.21\00:06:56.04
And just an amazing pianist and
she's just our producer, man.
00:06:56.24\00:06:59.55
At least that's what we feel
like. Yes. So she's an amazing
00:06:59.85\00:07:02.48
talent. E.T. Everett. All
right. And over here next to her
00:07:02.58\00:07:05.32
this is Ladye Love Long Smith...
a woman with many names.
00:07:05.45\00:07:08.59
Stand up, baby.
But this is my wife -
00:07:08.89\00:07:12.29
and so many of you know
her - of 19 years - all right -
00:07:12.49\00:07:15.10
and counting... or
nine years... nineteen.
00:07:15.30\00:07:18.50
So you know her.
That's Layde Love. And so
00:07:18.70\00:07:21.17
we're just glad... I'm
really always happy to have her.
00:07:21.37\00:07:24.21
Amazing singer
and amazing person.
00:07:24.41\00:07:26.27
Great person. So
right next to her: Bonnie.
00:07:26.47\00:07:28.51
This is our tall girl. I have
to stand on my tiptoes for her.
00:07:28.61\00:07:31.35
Bonnie's a dear,
dear friend from way back.
00:07:31.55\00:07:33.75
Bonnie sang with a group
called First Call - yes -
00:07:33.95\00:07:37.09
that backed up everybody.
00:07:37.29\00:07:38.85
You know... and you're
still singing together.
00:07:39.15\00:07:42.39
But you do a lot
of solo work, too.
00:07:42.59\00:07:44.43
A lot of solo work also.
So she does with the trio
00:07:44.63\00:07:47.13
and also... And then
sings on a ton of sessions.
00:07:47.33\00:07:50.40
Pretty much anything you've
heard in the last 35 years
00:07:50.63\00:07:53.03
Bonnie's singing on it. She
was two! Yeah, that's right.
00:07:53.23\00:07:56.64
She was two years old.
You were four when... two.
00:07:56.77\00:07:59.77
But Bonnie's a dear
friend. Loves the Lord.
00:07:59.97\00:08:01.91
Mother of two. And just
beautiful, talented children.
00:08:02.11\00:08:06.18
And she's a beautiful
person inside and out.
00:08:06.38\00:08:08.45
And we're so honored to
have Bonnie with us. Absolutely!
00:08:08.65\00:08:10.95
So thank you, Bonnie.
Thanks for coming back.
00:08:11.15\00:08:12.69
Right next to her
this is Ms. Julie Goss.
00:08:13.19\00:08:16.86
As a matter of fact, this
is Lari's daughter-in-law.
00:08:16.89\00:08:21.06
All right. Married to B.J. Goss.
00:08:21.26\00:08:23.20
And Julie... Yeah,
she said: "I stole him;
00:08:23.50\00:08:25.77
I stole him. " And she did.
I heard a great. great story,
00:08:25.97\00:08:28.80
their romantic love story
last night of how they met.
00:08:29.00\00:08:31.31
And it was a really
great one. I love it!
00:08:31.51\00:08:33.17
This thing is going to
take for a lifetime, you guys.
00:08:33.48\00:08:35.71
It's very special.
Julie actually sings a lot of
00:08:35.84\00:08:38.58
sessions and just wonderful.
These people have so much heart
00:08:38.78\00:08:42.28
and they love the Lord
with truly all their heart,
00:08:42.48\00:08:44.69
mind, and soul. They really do.
00:08:44.79\00:08:46.86
And as you know
you've met these people.
00:08:47.16\00:08:49.12
These people are the real deal.
00:08:49.32\00:08:51.19
These are all
family. And you know what?
00:08:51.39\00:08:53.36
She sings out with Beth
Moore, a wonderful artist and
00:08:53.66\00:08:56.83
wonderful writer, and they
do a lot of women's conferences
00:08:56.93\00:08:59.47
all over the world
and around the world.
00:08:59.67\00:09:01.00
And also Tammy does that,
too. She goes out and sings with
00:09:01.04\00:09:03.41
Beth Moore. All
right. And this is Julie Goss
00:09:03.71\00:09:07.48
and we're so honored to have
her here. Thank you Julie. Yeah.
00:09:07.68\00:09:10.35
And everybody knows this lady
right here: Ms. Yvonne Lewis.
00:09:10.55\00:09:12.91
Holy moly... I'm telling you.
00:09:13.31\00:09:15.42
This girl, I'm
telling you, has done it.
00:09:15.45\00:09:17.85
She is the voice that all
people have heard. That's true!
00:09:18.05\00:09:21.22
And maybe they didn't
know it but they've heard her -
00:09:21.36\00:09:22.92
somewhere down the line they've
heard her sing - somewhere down
00:09:23.12\00:09:25.29
the line. So many recordings.
We gave her a new nickname
00:09:25.39\00:09:27.10
since iPhone 6 came
out. What is it now?
00:09:27.30\00:09:29.30
You know she's singing on
it. We're just calling her "6"
00:09:29.40\00:09:30.97
for short. Oh, she's singing
on a new commercial coming out!
00:09:31.07\00:09:33.47
She's singing on
the Verizon commercial
00:09:33.60\00:09:34.94
so ya'll will hear
her when you hear the...
00:09:35.00\00:09:36.94
What does she say, Reggie?
Just... "Just the two of us!
00:09:37.14\00:09:41.68
That's it! We can... "
You're gonna hear that.
00:09:41.88\00:09:43.41
Right there; right
there. I already heard it.
00:09:43.61\00:09:45.18
All right. We're
so glad Yvonne's here.
00:09:45.38\00:09:47.05
Of course she's our general
manager of Dare to Dream.
00:09:47.15\00:09:49.85
Yeah. By the way, she
sang that a few years back.
00:09:50.15\00:09:53.05
It wasn't just this week.
00:09:53.36\00:09:55.09
Oh absolutely. But all of a
sudden the company comes along
00:09:55.29\00:09:58.69
and says: "That fits our product
between the two companies. "
00:09:58.79\00:10:03.06
Verizon and is it
Apple? Yeah, Apple I think.
00:10:03.26\00:10:06.77
Yeah, absolutely. So that
will be interesting to... Yes.
00:10:06.97\00:10:10.01
Also we've got our
choir. Raise your hand, choir.
00:10:10.21\00:10:12.31
This is our 3ABN choir.
00:10:12.41\00:10:13.98
Glad that you all are here.
00:10:14.28\00:10:16.04
These folks are
singers; they love Jesus.
00:10:16.24\00:10:18.75
And we're so thankful
that they're all here, too.
00:10:18.85\00:10:21.48
Well Jim, I think we
need to get to singing.
00:10:21.78\00:10:23.25
Why don't we sing?
And we'll get our choir
00:10:23.45\00:10:25.09
some of you comin' up here.
00:10:25.29\00:10:26.62
Let's sing
Jesus Is Coming Again.
00:10:26.69\00:10:28.69
Praise the Lord!
Jesus is coming again!
00:13:47.72\00:13:50.69
Wow! That just sounds...
You all sound so beautiful
00:13:51.19\00:13:53.73
and you even look
good! How about that!
00:13:53.93\00:13:56.03
The next song that we're going
to do is I've asked Ladye Love
00:13:56.53\00:13:59.10
to do it. It's a song
that I started writing
00:13:59.30\00:14:02.00
just maybe a
couple months or so ago.
00:14:02.20\00:14:04.34
And it says
Calvary says love to me.
00:14:04.74\00:14:07.64
And I wrote this song
and I showed it to Lari
00:14:07.94\00:14:10.28
and I said: "We're looking
for new songs but I really...
00:14:10.48\00:14:13.08
Calvary is a
wonderful - you know - message
00:14:13.28\00:14:15.88
but all of these
songs are second coming. "
00:14:16.18\00:14:18.45
So guess what Lari Goss said?
00:14:18.65\00:14:20.32
"Well let me see it just
a little bit and I'll just
00:14:20.56\00:14:22.42
add you a little bridge
and we'll put it in there. "
00:14:22.62\00:14:25.76
And thank you so
much, Lari, for your help
00:14:25.96\00:14:27.86
and support on this song.
00:14:28.16\00:14:29.70
But I just got to
thinking one evening: "You know,
00:14:30.10\00:14:32.53
how wonderful our God is.
He looked down in compassion -
00:14:32.73\00:14:36.47
when He looks at us here
on earth - it's in compassion.
00:14:36.77\00:14:39.14
If it wasn't, He'd get
rid of all of us, wouldn't He?
00:14:39.34\00:14:41.54
There's wouldn't be any hope
for us, but our God looks down
00:14:41.84\00:14:44.25
in compassion and love.
So He knew rather than to
00:14:44.41\00:14:47.35
do away with us that He
would come up with a plan...
00:14:47.45\00:14:49.68
and that plan
was called Calvary.
00:14:49.98\00:14:52.25
So Ladye Love, please sing to us
00:14:52.55\00:14:54.42
Calvary Says Love To Me.
00:14:54.62\00:14:56.06
Amen! Beautiful, Ladye.
00:19:31.07\00:19:32.73
While you're up here I'm
going to ask your husband
00:19:33.03\00:19:34.50
Reggie to come up. And
you guys are going to do
00:19:34.70\00:19:37.84
a song. This is one of the
probably most beautiful songs
00:19:37.94\00:19:41.64
ever written. And I know
you know who wrote this song:
00:19:41.84\00:19:43.85
We Shall Behold Him.
00:19:43.95\00:19:45.51
And when we think about it
that day that we're literally
00:19:45.91\00:19:50.82
able to... It says...
The song tells it all.
00:19:51.15\00:19:53.49
But those in the ground sleeping
are going to be caught up
00:19:53.76\00:19:56.93
to be together with
the Lord in the air.
00:19:56.96\00:19:58.79
And all of those of us
here to see all of that
00:19:58.99\00:20:02.00
it's such an
exciting... It's so exciting
00:20:02.10\00:20:05.40
you can hardly
put it into words.
00:20:05.60\00:20:07.30
But Dottie Rambo...
didn't she write this song?
00:20:07.60\00:20:09.37
SHE put it into words!
00:20:09.67\00:20:11.27
So when I hear this I
get these little chill bumps
00:20:11.57\00:20:13.68
and goose bumps. Some of
you know what I'm talking about
00:20:13.88\00:20:15.58
over there. You get
them from time to time
00:20:15.68\00:20:17.28
and especially when I
hear you guys sing this song.
00:20:17.58\00:20:20.08
So: "We Shall Behold Him. "
00:20:20.38\00:20:21.98
And everybody said:
"Amen! " Praise the Lord!
00:26:01.22\00:26:05.06
Thank you
Reggie; thank you Ladye.
00:26:05.36\00:26:06.90
What an incredible song!
00:26:07.40\00:26:09.10
We hope that you're
singing with us at home
00:26:09.30\00:26:12.10
because this is an
incredible project.
00:26:12.20\00:26:14.50
And we should be reminded...
In fact, Ellen White makes
00:26:14.80\00:26:17.21
a statement: we should spend,
she says, sometimes an hour
00:26:17.31\00:26:20.31
a day contemplating
the goodness of God.
00:26:20.41\00:26:22.58
And one of those
things is: how could a God
00:26:22.68\00:26:25.08
that's so good
love us who are so bad?
00:26:25.38\00:26:27.98
Right? We were born into a
sinful world but praise God
00:26:29.05\00:26:31.99
because of His love for
us He made a way of escape
00:26:32.19\00:26:35.62
for us. And some day very soon
00:26:35.72\00:26:38.16
we shall behold
Him face to face.
00:26:38.36\00:26:41.20
I'm going to ask my
daughter Melody to come up.
00:26:41.40\00:26:43.53
And two or three
months ago I was thinking
00:26:43.93\00:26:47.27
of songs for this project
00:26:47.47\00:26:49.84
and I thought about it
from Mary's perspective.
00:26:50.14\00:26:53.58
Because you read and it
says: "And early in the morning
00:26:53.88\00:26:56.58
that she went to the tomb"
after Christ was crucified.
00:26:56.78\00:27:00.18
And it hit me: you know,
she was possibly the same Mary.
00:27:00.38\00:27:04.52
I know there's some
theological differences.
00:27:04.72\00:27:07.29
Some people say it was
the same Mary; some not.
00:27:07.49\00:27:09.76
But this same Mary,
I believe, once before,
00:27:10.06\00:27:14.40
Melody, had anointed the Savior.
00:27:14.60\00:27:16.73
But this time no
wonder she couldn't sleep.
00:27:17.03\00:27:19.13
All through the night
her heart was breaking.
00:27:19.33\00:27:20.94
She could only weep. So
she got up early in the morning
00:27:21.24\00:27:23.81
to go anoint the Lord.
Because it occurred to me
00:27:24.01\00:27:26.81
Mary had depended on Jesus.
00:27:27.01\00:27:29.21
Jesus had brought her to truth.
00:27:29.41\00:27:31.25
But now her
whole world had ended
00:27:31.55\00:27:34.78
because her Lord was dead.
00:27:34.88\00:27:37.22
So she went to
the tomb out of love
00:27:37.52\00:27:40.29
to prepare His body.
But before she got there
00:27:40.59\00:27:44.93
guess what
happened? She meets this angel
00:27:45.13\00:27:48.00
and he says: "Why are you here?
00:27:48.20\00:27:50.47
He's alive! He's
risen! Forever He's alive! "
00:27:50.67\00:27:54.14
So we put this song together.
00:27:54.34\00:27:55.67
Did the words and music.
Went down to Mr. Lari Goss
00:27:55.97\00:27:58.47
and I said: "Lari, we
need some help on the verse. "
00:27:58.67\00:28:01.44
And within a matter... this
guy's amazing, Melody. Right?
00:28:01.64\00:28:04.65
In a matter of minutes he
straightened out the music
00:28:04.78\00:28:07.08
for us. And
praise the Lord for Lari!
00:28:07.28\00:28:09.28
And this song:
Forever, He's Alive.
00:28:09.58\00:28:12.45
Mary believed
Jesus was the Son of God
00:30:01.76\00:30:04.17
but now He was dead.
00:30:04.57\00:30:06.23
She'd never see Him again.
00:30:06.63\00:30:08.37
It was love that carried
her on through the darkness
00:30:08.97\00:30:11.81
that Sunday morning to
prepare His body for the grave.
00:30:12.01\00:30:15.01
But as she neared the tomb
00:30:15.51\00:30:17.05
an angel suddenly
appeared and said:
00:30:17.25\00:30:19.15
"Why seek ye the
living among the dead?
00:30:19.35\00:30:21.52
Your Lord has risen; He's alive!
00:30:21.82\00:30:24.19
Forever, He's alive! "
00:30:24.39\00:30:26.52
Whoo! Praise the Lord!
00:32:34.15\00:32:36.08
Praise the Lord!
Thank you Melody.
00:32:36.28\00:32:37.89
I'm starting to feel that
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
00:32:39.39\00:32:41.79
I like it,
Yvonne. How about you?
00:32:41.99\00:32:43.53
Amen! Praise the
Lord! God is so good
00:32:43.73\00:32:46.26
that He gives us these songs
because we now can give honor
00:32:46.56\00:32:50.20
and glory and praise to Him.
00:32:50.40\00:32:52.10
And sometimes... And I want
to talk to you at home for just
00:32:52.60\00:32:55.40
a minute... Sometimes
on this earth it seems like
00:32:55.60\00:32:57.64
we're forgotten. Probably
everybody who's ever lived
00:32:57.84\00:33:01.08
at some point you
say: "Lord, what about me?
00:33:01.28\00:33:03.95
Where are You
when I needed You? "
00:33:04.15\00:33:06.61
And sometimes you just feel
left alone and you feel like
00:33:07.02\00:33:10.02
there's no way out. But I
want to tell you something:
00:33:10.22\00:33:13.42
God knew you before Creation.
00:33:13.72\00:33:17.26
He knew us before
we were ever born.
00:33:17.56\00:33:19.39
He had a plan. When
Jesus was hanging on the cross
00:33:19.49\00:33:21.70
you and I were
on His mind. Amen!
00:33:21.90\00:33:24.00
He could look
down the stream of time
00:33:24.13\00:33:25.57
and see a people who would
be willing to give their lives
00:33:25.67\00:33:28.37
unto death if
necessary for the cause of God.
00:33:28.57\00:33:31.24
And one evening I was sitting
at home and I said: "Lord,
00:33:31.64\00:33:35.38
I'm working on these
songs. Give me a song that
00:33:35.68\00:33:38.28
will be powerful... not
for me but for Your glory
00:33:38.38\00:33:41.22
and for Your honor. And
all of a sudden this song
00:33:41.42\00:33:44.19
came to me: Just In Time.
Yes! And it's so beautiful
00:33:44.39\00:33:47.42
because it says the devil will
tempt us, the devil will say
00:33:47.52\00:33:50.83
"Where is your God? "
In fact, one verse says
00:33:50.99\00:33:53.16
"Where is your
God? the demons cried.
00:33:53.36\00:33:55.26
This whole thing's not
true; it's all been a lie.
00:33:55.56\00:33:58.77
And then a voice
from heaven is heard.
00:33:59.17\00:34:02.80
It came from
God... the Living Word.
00:34:03.10\00:34:05.31
And just in time
the Savior came. "
00:34:05.61\00:34:07.88
In your life today, we
don't have to wait till the
00:34:08.08\00:34:09.98
second coming. In your
life today Jesus will be there.
00:34:10.08\00:34:13.82
God will be there just in time.
00:34:14.05\00:34:16.15
And that's what we love
about Him. He's not a God that's
00:34:16.65\00:34:18.72
late and He's not
a God that's early.
00:34:18.82\00:34:20.26
He's always just in time. Amen!
00:34:20.46\00:34:22.49
So we've asked Yvonne Lewis
to come and sing Just In Time.
00:34:22.69\00:34:25.89
Then in the middle of it I
turned to Great Controversy.
00:34:26.19\00:34:28.86
It's a book by Ellen White.
Her description of seeing Jesus,
00:34:29.06\00:34:33.37
what it will be like - Amen!
- in starting small as a cloud
00:34:33.40\00:34:36.84
of... small as a man's
hand... What it must be like
00:34:36.94\00:34:39.67
when Jesus comes back. So
we've added that into the song
00:34:39.97\00:34:42.91
and it comes from
Great Controversy.
00:34:43.21\00:34:45.15
Ellen White.
Yvonne, sing for us.
00:34:45.45\00:34:47.95
Soon there appears in
the East a small black cloud
00:37:12.99\00:37:16.23
half the size of a man's hand.
00:37:16.53\00:37:18.77
It is the cloud
which surrounds the Savior
00:37:19.17\00:37:21.90
and which seems in the distance
to be shrouded in darkness.
00:37:22.10\00:37:25.67
The people of God know this to
be the sign of the Son of Man.
00:37:26.27\00:37:30.68
In solemn
silence they gaze upon it
00:37:30.98\00:37:34.02
as it draws nearer the earth
00:37:34.22\00:37:36.08
becoming lighter and more
glorious until it is a great
00:37:36.28\00:37:39.72
white cloud, its face a
glory like consuming fire
00:37:39.92\00:37:44.03
and above it the
rainbow of the covenant.
00:37:44.33\00:37:47.16
Jesus rides forth
as a mighty conqueror
00:37:47.36\00:37:50.50
not now a man of
sorrows to drink the bitter cup
00:37:50.70\00:37:53.94
of shame and woe, He
comes victor in heaven and earth
00:37:54.14\00:37:57.67
to judge the
living and the dead.
00:37:57.87\00:38:00.21
With anthems of celestial melody
00:38:00.41\00:38:03.18
the holy angels, a
vast unnumbered throng,
00:38:03.38\00:38:06.48
attend Him on His way.
00:38:06.68\00:38:08.58
The firmament seems
filled with radiant forms:
00:38:08.88\00:38:12.29
"ten thousand times ten thousand
and thousands of thousands. "
00:38:12.49\00:38:17.13
No human pen can
portray the scene.
00:38:17.43\00:38:19.96
No mortal mind is adequate
to conceive its splendor.
00:38:20.00\00:38:24.27
His glory covers the heavens
00:38:24.53\00:38:27.10
and the earth was
full of His praise.
00:38:27.30\00:38:30.14
And His brightness
was like the light.
00:38:30.34\00:38:32.34
As the living
cloud comes still nearer
00:38:32.74\00:38:35.28
every eye beholds
the Prince of life.
00:38:35.58\00:38:38.35
No crown of thorns
now mars that sacred head
00:38:38.75\00:38:41.95
but a diadem of glory
rests on His holy brow.
00:38:42.15\00:38:45.82
His countenance outshines
the dazzling brightness of
00:38:46.12\00:38:50.06
the noonday sun and on
His robe and on His thigh
00:38:50.16\00:38:54.50
a name written: King
of kings and Lord of all!
00:38:54.70\00:38:59.30
Praise the
Lord! Thank you Jesus!
00:40:22.05\00:40:24.89
Thank you, Yvonne. A
lot of these folk up here
00:40:25.19\00:40:27.12
are song writers.
Marty, how you must feel
00:40:27.22\00:40:29.22
when you write a song
like Somewhere Between Heaven
00:40:29.42\00:40:31.46
and Earth! You actually can
say: "What a beautiful song! "
00:40:31.56\00:40:34.56
'cause you know you
didn't write it, right?
00:40:34.76\00:40:36.50
Wonders Never Cease
Yvonne sings. It's one of my
00:40:36.90\00:40:39.43
favorite ones. To know
that God would reach down
00:40:39.53\00:40:42.47
and allow frail human
agents to be used of Him
00:40:42.67\00:40:45.41
is amazing to me because
none of us are worthy of it.
00:40:45.61\00:40:48.88
None of us are worth it.
The Bible says we're all as
00:40:49.28\00:40:51.11
filthy rags in the sight of God.
00:40:51.21\00:40:53.08
But because of His love
He wants to work through you.
00:40:53.38\00:40:55.98
In you and through you.
So no matter who you are,
00:40:56.18\00:40:58.39
no matter what your past is,
00:40:58.69\00:41:00.36
God is willing to forgive it
and He has a plan for your life
00:41:00.56\00:41:03.56
and that's to be a witness.
Maybe you can't be a song writer
00:41:03.86\00:41:06.46
or a singer but
you've got a testimony.
00:41:06.66\00:41:09.56
The most important asset
you have is your testimony.
00:41:09.86\00:41:12.57
It's not the thing that people
look at, the world looks at,
00:41:12.77\00:41:15.94
it's your own personal testimony
of what God has done for you
00:41:16.14\00:41:19.47
in your life.
Sometimes when I look around
00:41:19.87\00:41:22.41
things aren't
pretty on this earth
00:41:22.61\00:41:23.95
and I get to daydreaming a
little bit. I'm a daydreamer.
00:41:24.11\00:41:26.51
I don't know about some of
you, but I daydream sometimes.
00:41:26.72\00:41:29.75
Got in trouble in
school I'm sure a few times
00:41:29.98\00:41:31.62
and with my folks. Back
then they tanned your hide
00:41:31.72\00:41:34.56
a little bit. Now you're
not supposed to talk about that.
00:41:34.66\00:41:36.62
But anyway
sometimes I'm a daydreamer.
00:41:36.93\00:41:38.99
One night I was sitting by
myself. Had my little guitar
00:41:39.19\00:41:42.10
and this thought came to
me: I'm longing for a place
00:41:42.40\00:41:46.23
I've never been, yet
it's a place I call home.
00:41:46.43\00:41:48.74
And I said:
"That makes no sense! "
00:41:49.14\00:41:50.91
In the physical
that makes no sense.
00:41:51.31\00:41:53.31
How can you long for a
place you've never been
00:41:53.41\00:41:56.34
and still call it home?
00:41:56.54\00:41:57.95
This little song came
to me. Thank you, Lord!
00:41:58.35\00:42:00.48
Heaven Means Home To Me.
00:42:00.78\00:42:02.98
Next I'm going to
ask Reggie and Ladye
00:46:20.14\00:46:23.18
and Yvonne to
come and sing a song
00:46:23.48\00:46:26.95
that we wrote
called The Sacrifice.
00:46:27.05\00:46:29.48
And thank you Lari Goss
again for bailing me out.
00:46:29.68\00:46:32.82
It's always good to have a
friend who knows more, Rod,
00:46:33.02\00:46:35.46
about music than you do.
00:46:35.56\00:46:37.09
And Lari's one of
those... so we wrote this song.
00:46:37.29\00:46:40.36
And the words came to me
but I said: "On the chorus... "
00:46:40.66\00:46:44.50
I said, "the verse needs to
be something really powerful. "
00:46:44.70\00:46:48.30
So who should I go
to, Marty, but Lari Goss?
00:46:48.50\00:46:51.07
So Lari in a matter of
minutes once again sits down
00:46:51.17\00:46:54.18
and he looks at the
words. He reads them
00:46:54.38\00:46:56.34
and you can just see this
anointing coming over him.
00:46:56.54\00:46:58.75
He just begins to
play, and this song is called
00:46:58.95\00:47:01.95
The Sacrifice.
00:47:02.15\00:47:03.99
Amen! Thank you Jesus!
00:51:07.80\00:51:10.50
Aren't you glad that
He became our sacrifice?
00:51:10.80\00:51:13.27
Absolutely! What
we'd like to do now
00:51:13.77\00:51:16.20
we're going to go back to an
old song that many of you knew.
00:51:16.40\00:51:19.34
In fact... My brother Kenny's
back here... Our dad used to...
00:51:19.44\00:51:22.54
It was one of his
favorite all-time songs.
00:51:22.74\00:51:24.81
I'm going to ask our
pastor: Pastor John Lomacang
00:51:25.01\00:51:27.82
to come out. And John's
not only a great preacher
00:51:28.02\00:51:31.85
and a great friend
and a wonderful Christian.
00:51:32.05\00:51:34.86
He and his wife Angie
have been such a blessing
00:51:35.06\00:51:37.06
to the ministry of 3ABN...
to this church in particular.
00:51:37.26\00:51:40.63
He's the pastor of this church.
00:51:40.76\00:51:42.80
But John has a
long history in music.
00:51:43.00\00:51:45.07
His dad was a professional
musician in New York
00:51:45.37\00:51:47.40
for many years, but John
has sung all around the world
00:51:47.60\00:51:50.34
literally. Sang with The
Heritage Singers for years
00:51:50.54\00:51:53.11
but has done solo work and
sung with others. Literally
00:51:53.41\00:51:56.34
you travel around the world.
Recently you guys have been
00:51:56.54\00:51:58.81
in the islands.
You've been in Africa.
00:51:58.91\00:52:00.72
Almost any country we
name you've been there.
00:52:01.02\00:52:03.22
So we're so blessed
to have you here, John.
00:52:03.52\00:52:06.22
And you wanted to sing
this song - Until Then -
00:52:06.25\00:52:08.89
because it has a
special meaning to you.
00:52:09.12\00:52:10.86
Well, you know Danny,
before I even mentioned
00:52:11.16\00:52:13.43
the special place it had in my
heart for... I want to say this
00:52:13.53\00:52:16.70
but I don't want to sound
old... for more than 40 years.
00:52:16.90\00:52:19.33
I heard this song when I was
just coming back to the church
00:52:19.63\00:52:22.54
out of the gambling, the
pool hustling, the night life.
00:52:22.74\00:52:24.77
And I need to say
this publicly: "I heard
00:52:25.07\00:52:27.94
a gentleman singing
this song, Duane Hamilton. "
00:52:28.14\00:52:31.01
OK. And this was one of
the first songs I had heard
00:52:31.21\00:52:33.88
coming back into the church.
00:52:34.08\00:52:35.42
And I always
listen to the theme of it
00:52:35.45\00:52:37.55
and I said: "You know, Lord,
I'm going to keep serving You
00:52:37.75\00:52:39.99
until then. I'm going to
keep trusting You until then. "
00:52:40.09\00:52:42.36
And so when you asked me
out of the clear blue one day:
00:52:42.66\00:52:44.99
"John, I want you to sing
this song. " I said: "Danny,
00:52:45.19\00:52:47.20
that fulfills a desire I've
had for more than 40 years. "
00:52:47.40\00:52:49.83
Praise the Lord!
So it's an honor.
00:52:50.13\00:52:51.50
Amen! Praise the Lord!
00:58:32.57\00:58:34.88
You brought me to
tears on that, John.
00:58:35.38\00:58:38.05
Brought me to tears. I
tell you: what a wonderful day.
00:58:38.35\00:58:41.85
Think about Until Then, but
I talked to Lari and I said:
00:58:42.05\00:58:45.19
"Lari, can we come up
with a medley maybe of songs?
00:58:45.29\00:58:48.09
Something that? We want
you to put it together. "
00:58:48.32\00:58:50.76
He said: "What do you want?
" I said: "You put something
00:58:50.96\00:58:52.63
together. " And I'm going to ask
Jim Gilley to come up and help
00:58:52.73\00:58:55.33
lead this. But it starts
off with the song... And those
00:58:55.53\00:58:58.67
of you at home and you're
watching this, we want you
00:58:58.77\00:59:00.67
to sing along with us 'cause
you'll recognize these songs.
00:59:00.87\00:59:03.74
They're beautiful, beautiful
songs. But we're going to start
00:59:04.44\00:59:07.31
out: It Will Be Worth It All.
00:59:07.41\00:59:10.95
Whoo! Glory! Praise the Lord!
01:03:34.74\01:03:37.28
We're havin' church up
here; hope you are at home
01:03:37.58\01:03:39.68
too... those of you
watching around the world.
01:03:39.88\01:03:41.58
We're having church.
We're starting to really
01:03:41.98\01:03:43.65
get into this thing, you know?
01:03:43.75\01:03:45.45
Thinking about all of
these wonderful things.
01:03:45.65\01:03:47.72
Thank you, Lari Goss, for
arranging that. Picking out
01:03:48.02\01:03:51.19
those songs. Reggie, how about
if we do something different?
01:03:51.39\01:03:53.90
We're going to bring you
over here in just a moment.
01:03:54.10\01:03:55.90
We've been having all of
this great orchestra behind us
01:03:56.10\01:03:59.73
but we're going to
give you something better:
01:04:00.04\01:04:01.90
we're going to give you
the maestro himself right here:
01:04:02.10\01:04:04.41
Bro. Lari Goss. So
you guys... would you do
01:04:04.61\01:04:07.41
Amazing Grace - OK.
All right. And Bro. Lari,
01:04:07.51\01:04:11.95
you haven't had a
chance to talk yet.
01:04:12.15\01:04:13.85
I haven't given you that
chance, but you were here before
01:04:14.05\01:04:17.25
at Camp Meeting, and
you told us a little bit.
01:04:17.55\01:04:20.46
We were talking about
what a blessing this has been.
01:04:20.66\01:04:22.36
But you said the
project on the second coming
01:04:22.56\01:04:25.16
has blessed you. You know,
even from the very beginning
01:04:25.36\01:04:28.86
when we first started on
the project in the first series
01:04:29.26\01:04:32.23
the Lord really
touched me about all of this
01:04:32.63\01:04:35.40
and I just considered it a
great honor to be a part of it.
01:04:35.60\01:04:39.07
And it really, really
did something to my life
01:04:39.47\01:04:42.11
and it touched a
place in my heart -
01:04:42.31\01:04:44.08
praise the Lord! -
that's never been touched before
01:04:44.28\01:04:46.28
at a place that I don't
think time will ever erase.
01:04:46.48\01:04:49.65
It gave me a greater insight
01:04:50.05\01:04:52.29
to the second coming
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
01:04:52.49\01:04:55.29
And I cannot thank
3ABN and you and Bro. Gilley
01:04:55.49\01:05:00.00
and E.T. and everybody
for allowing me to be a part
01:05:00.40\01:05:03.90
of this project.
I thank you so much
01:05:04.03\01:05:06.77
for what it's done for me.
01:05:06.97\01:05:08.30
It's not what I've done for you
01:05:08.34\01:05:09.67
but it's what the
Lord has done for me
01:05:10.04\01:05:12.54
through you allowing me to
be a great part of this project.
01:05:12.74\01:05:15.78
Thank you so much. Well,
that's what you call a win-win
01:05:16.18\01:05:18.58
for everybody.
Win-win. We all enjoyed it.
01:05:18.78\01:05:21.18
We've all been blessed by it.
Hopefully the viewers at home.
01:05:21.38\01:05:24.65
I don't know if there was
ever a greater song ever written
01:05:25.15\01:05:27.42
on this earth than the
one you're about to sing.
01:05:27.62\01:05:29.66
Amazing grace,
how sweet the sound
01:05:31.19\01:05:33.70
that saved a wretch like me.
01:05:33.90\01:05:36.16
Amen!
01:09:05.67\01:09:07.41
Thank you, Reggie.
01:09:11.58\01:09:13.08
I think, Reggie, I'm just
turning into an old cry baby.
01:09:13.28\01:09:16.12
I'm having to sit here
and wipe tears from my eyes,
01:09:16.32\01:09:18.35
folks. When we think
about it when we've been there
01:09:18.45\01:09:21.22
ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
01:09:21.32\01:09:24.53
we've no less days
to sing God's praise
01:09:24.73\01:09:27.36
than when we first begun.
01:09:27.46\01:09:29.46
I heard a preacher
one time, and he said:
01:09:29.76\01:09:32.13
"How long is forever? "
Somebody asked him: "How long
01:09:32.53\01:09:35.27
is forever? " And
this preacher said: "Well,
01:09:35.47\01:09:38.11
I don't know. We
don't know for sure, but
01:09:38.21\01:09:41.08
in human terms I'll
just do the best I can
01:09:41.38\01:09:43.85
to give you a little example
of how long eternity is. "
01:09:44.05\01:09:47.15
"Well, OK... what
is that preacher? "
01:09:47.48\01:09:50.72
And he says: "Well,
let's say that God sent a bird:
01:09:50.92\01:09:54.29
a raven, a bird, a
dove down from heaven.
01:09:54.49\01:09:57.53
We're all in
heaven... He's come back.
01:09:57.76\01:09:59.43
All of His children are
home so heaven's finally home.
01:09:59.73\01:10:02.66
And once every million years
a bird comes to planet earth.
01:10:04.27\01:10:08.57
He flies down. Doesn't
have to be in fast time,
01:10:08.77\01:10:11.41
can be real time.
01:10:11.61\01:10:12.94
Take his time all through
the universe to planet earth.
01:10:12.97\01:10:16.95
He picks up one grain of sand
01:10:17.28\01:10:19.55
and he flies back to heaven.
01:10:19.95\01:10:23.39
When every grain of
sand on planet earth
01:10:24.55\01:10:28.46
is gone we've just begun.
01:10:28.86\01:10:31.89
Whoo! Somebody
better say amen to this.
01:10:32.19\01:10:35.06
I'm going to check your pulse
and see if you're still alive
01:10:35.56\01:10:38.37
if you're not on
this. Amazing grace.
01:10:38.57\01:10:40.37
Do that last verse for
us one more time, Reggie.
01:10:40.70\01:10:42.80
When we've been
there ten thousand years...
01:10:43.10\01:10:45.47
When we've been there
01:10:48.74\01:10:52.15
ten thousand years
01:10:52.55\01:10:56.82
bright shining as
01:10:57.22\01:11:01.56
the sun
01:11:01.99\01:11:06.63
we've no less days
01:11:06.83\01:11:12.57
to sing God's praise
01:11:12.87\01:11:18.41
than when we first
01:11:18.81\01:11:24.41
begun...
01:11:24.61\01:11:30.29
than when
01:11:31.45\01:11:33.39
we first
01:11:34.49\01:11:38.83
be-
01:11:39.93\01:11:44.03
we first begun.
01:11:44.23\01:11:50.04
Thank you, Lord.
01:11:50.44\01:11:55.88
Gotta love it!
When we first begun.
01:11:55.98\01:11:58.38
Thank you Reggie...
Amazing grace. Lari Goss.
01:11:58.68\01:12:01.15
Absolutely incredible.
We have one last song.
01:12:01.65\01:12:04.72
And this song is
so much fun to sing
01:12:05.12\01:12:08.66
and I just praise the
Lord. It's called: "Hallelujah!
01:12:09.06\01:12:12.23
Home At Last! " Well, all of the
songs that we've been singing
01:12:12.43\01:12:15.80
thus far we've been looking
from an earthly perspective.
01:12:16.10\01:12:20.04
Yvonne, we're
standing here looking up
01:12:20.24\01:12:22.40
waiting for Jesus to come back.
01:12:22.60\01:12:24.34
But this song...
one night it hit me...
01:12:24.54\01:12:26.31
Lari, it hit me: how
about something's gotta happen
01:12:26.71\01:12:30.41
in heaven. There's got to
be some kind of excitement
01:12:30.61\01:12:32.68
in heaven that's going
to happen when Jesus comes
01:12:32.88\01:12:36.79
down. We're all
excited; we're looking up... but
01:12:36.99\01:12:38.95
what happens? And all
of a sudden it came to me:
01:12:39.15\01:12:41.72
there's excitement in heaven
like there's never been before.
01:12:41.92\01:12:44.89
Jesus stands up.
Heaven is changed forevermore.
01:12:45.19\01:12:48.96
Think about that:
heaven is changed forevermore.
01:12:49.46\01:12:52.93
The angels escort the
Savior literally to come down...
01:12:53.34\01:12:57.51
surround the Savior
to come down to earth
01:12:57.71\01:12:59.84
to collect
what's rightfully His.
01:13:00.14\01:13:02.61
Right? That's you
and me. Hopefully, folks,
01:13:02.91\01:13:06.78
every one of you
watching this program.
01:13:06.98\01:13:08.72
There's some great
singers, great musicians,
01:13:09.02\01:13:11.72
but really, compared to heaven,
01:13:11.92\01:13:14.49
we'll all be... We couldn't
make D or F choir, right?
01:13:14.69\01:13:17.93
Thankfully, God's
going to change us all!
01:13:18.33\01:13:20.66
We'll know what music
really is when we get to heaven.
01:13:20.96\01:13:23.43
So it's not about the singers;
it's not about the musicians.
01:13:23.83\01:13:26.63
And I know you hear
that but we MEAN IT.
01:13:27.07\01:13:28.80
What it's about is Jesus
01:13:29.10\01:13:30.94
and it's about
catching a vision of who He is
01:13:31.14\01:13:33.34
and who we are.
And I'm so grateful
01:13:33.44\01:13:36.04
and so thankful that
God cares enough for us
01:13:36.24\01:13:40.12
that when He comes
down and we go back up
01:13:40.42\01:13:43.25
the second verse
of this song hit me.
01:13:43.35\01:13:45.19
Think about this:
no more empty mansions.
01:13:45.59\01:13:48.12
When we make it home with Jesus
01:13:48.32\01:13:50.19
no more empty mansions. No
vacant seats around the throne.
01:13:50.39\01:13:53.93
Right now there's
gotta be some vacant seats.
01:13:54.36\01:13:56.36
We're not there.
Is somebody with me?
01:13:56.67\01:13:58.70
No more vacant
seats around the throne.
01:13:59.10\01:14:01.70
Heaven is finally heaven
01:14:02.00\01:14:04.04
when God's
children are all home.
01:14:04.44\01:14:07.78
Hallelujah! Home At
Last. What happens is
01:14:08.78\01:14:11.48
I talked to Yvonne
one more about 9 o'clock
01:14:11.88\01:14:14.78
just two or three months ago.
01:14:14.98\01:14:16.32
She says: "Last night
the Lord gave me a chorus.
01:14:16.38\01:14:19.39
It's just sticking in my head.
01:14:19.69\01:14:21.42
It says
Hallelujah! Home At Last. "
01:14:21.72\01:14:23.46
But she said: "I
don't have any verses
01:14:23.76\01:14:25.83
and I don't consider
myself a prolific writer"
01:14:26.33\01:14:28.90
she says. "I
don't have any verses
01:14:29.10\01:14:31.07
but I've written this chorus. "
01:14:31.27\01:14:33.17
And I said:
"Really? That's interesting.
01:14:33.47\01:14:35.07
Last night I wrote two verses
01:14:35.27\01:14:37.07
but I didn't have a chorus. "
01:14:37.27\01:14:38.61
And she said: "Yeah,
Hallelujah! Home At Last. "
01:14:39.11\01:14:41.34
I said: "Wait a
minute. My second verse
01:14:41.54\01:14:43.08
actually has those
words 'Home at last...
01:14:43.38\01:14:46.11
Hallelujah! Home At Last. ' "
01:14:46.31\01:14:47.65
We put our notes together
01:14:47.82\01:14:49.38
and I actually took out
one of my lines 'cause it was
01:14:49.78\01:14:52.65
exactly like one of the
lines the Lord had given her.
01:14:52.85\01:14:55.39
And I said: "Man, I
didn't write a chorus because
01:14:55.89\01:14:59.36
this verse is so powerful
I don't know... How would you
01:14:59.56\01:15:04.10
build up to a chorus? "
01:15:04.30\01:15:05.63
Choruses usually,
Reggie, we build up to, right?
01:15:05.67\01:15:07.74
So when I heard it I
went to my buddy Lari Goss.
01:15:08.14\01:15:11.91
I said: "Lari, Yvonne's
written this great chorus
01:15:12.01\01:15:14.74
and God has given
me some words, but
01:15:14.94\01:15:17.11
I need help
musically. What can you do? "
01:15:17.31\01:15:19.11
You know what I'm going to say.
01:15:19.61\01:15:21.22
About 3-5 minutes
Lari Goss puts together
01:15:21.62\01:15:25.42
what you're about
to hear right now.
01:15:25.62\01:15:27.22
Praise God!
Hallelujah! Home At Last!
01:15:27.52\01:15:30.43
Reggie and Ladye.
01:15:30.73\01:15:33.06
Praise the Lord! Amen!
01:18:51.59\01:18:54.56
Thank you
Reggie; thank you Ladye.
01:18:54.86\01:18:56.46
Thank you choir for coming here.
All the folks from Nashville
01:18:56.97\01:18:59.97
for coming up and joining us.
01:19:00.17\01:19:01.50
Ya'll can be
seated for just a moment.
01:19:01.60\01:19:03.27
And Jim, we're here at
the close. We only have just a
01:19:03.77\01:19:06.81
3 or 4 minutes left and I want
you to just... There's people
01:19:07.01\01:19:09.94
around the world there
are people that are hurting
01:19:10.15\01:19:11.95
and there are people
saying: "You know what? Maybe
01:19:12.35\01:19:14.82
I have not been focused
on where I should be focused:
01:19:15.02\01:19:18.15
that Jesus is
coming, that He cares for me.
01:19:18.35\01:19:20.39
He died for me; made
a plan of salvation. "
01:19:20.59\01:19:22.49
Maybe you could in the
time that we've got left
01:19:22.89\01:19:24.46
just give an appeal and
take us out in a prayer.
01:19:24.69\01:19:28.23
You know, Danny, it is so
01:19:28.63\01:19:31.33
encouraging to know that
Jesus Christ IS coming again.
01:19:31.53\01:19:36.60
Amen! John 14:1-3 He
said: "Let not your hearts be
01:19:37.01\01:19:41.24
troubled. " We live in a
world of a lot of trouble.
01:19:41.44\01:19:44.91
He said: "You believe
in God; believe also in Me.
01:19:45.41\01:19:49.22
In My Father's
house are many mansions.
01:19:50.39\01:19:54.92
If it were not so, " He said,
01:19:55.32\01:19:58.09
"I would have told you. "
01:19:58.59\01:20:00.26
And there's so many things
that you hear people say to you
01:20:01.40\01:20:06.43
today. Jesus
says: "If it were not so
01:20:06.63\01:20:11.67
I would have told you. "
01:20:11.71\01:20:13.17
People tell you that
God didn't create this earth
01:20:13.68\01:20:16.04
but Jesus said He did.
01:20:16.44\01:20:18.81
And if God did not create
this earth in six literal days
01:20:19.41\01:20:23.65
just as He says He did
01:20:24.72\01:20:27.66
then He says: "I
would have told you. "
01:20:28.06\01:20:30.99
"I would have told you. "
01:20:32.09\01:20:33.60
"I go to prepare a place for you
01:20:33.90\01:20:36.97
and if I go, " He said,
"to prepare a place for you
01:20:38.10\01:20:42.20
I will come again
01:20:42.47\01:20:46.71
and receive you unto Myself
01:20:47.21\01:20:51.61
that where I am
01:20:53.01\01:20:55.28
there you may be also. "
01:20:55.78\01:20:59.25
You know, He's going
to wipe away all tears.
01:20:59.79\01:21:02.79
We think about
tears being wiped away
01:21:02.99\01:21:04.83
here on this
earth, but my friend,
01:21:05.03\01:21:07.10
He's going to wipe away
the tears of the universe.
01:21:07.30\01:21:09.70
He's going to wipe
away the tears of heaven
01:21:10.00\01:21:12.10
because this whole
sin problem started there.
01:21:13.27\01:21:16.17
It didn't start here.
01:21:16.27\01:21:18.11
Heaven will not really be
heaven until we're home at last.
01:21:18.54\01:21:24.05
Until He has wiped
away all sin, all sorrow,
01:21:25.65\01:21:30.79
and restored once again
01:21:32.22\01:21:35.72
life the way He
intended it to be.
01:21:36.83\01:21:40.50
The Bible tells us that
sin will never rise again.
01:21:41.83\01:21:44.67
It will never rise
again because we have seen
01:21:46.13\01:21:49.57
the results of sin.
01:21:49.87\01:21:51.74
We see the sorrow
that it brings to us.
01:21:51.94\01:21:54.21
We see what it does in
our hearts and our lives,
01:21:54.61\01:21:57.91
to our families, to our friends.
01:21:58.11\01:21:59.68
We see what alcohol and
drugs and all of the different
01:21:59.88\01:22:03.59
debilitating things can do.
01:22:03.79\01:22:05.75
We see what selfishness does
01:22:05.95\01:22:09.02
and we see what
love did on the cross.
01:22:11.09\01:22:15.30
"I am crucified with Christ
01:22:17.27\01:22:19.67
nevertheless I live. Yet not I
01:22:19.97\01:22:25.77
but Christ lives in me.
01:22:26.34\01:22:30.15
And the life which I
now live in the flesh
01:22:30.55\01:22:32.91
I live not in my own strength.
01:22:33.11\01:22:36.48
I live by the
faith of the Son of God
01:22:36.89\01:22:41.12
who loved me and
gave Himself for me. "
01:22:41.42\01:22:47.00
Oh my friend, I walked
life's path with an easy tread.
01:22:49.16\01:22:53.44
I wondered where
pleasures and riches led
01:22:53.64\01:22:56.20
until one day in a quiet place
01:22:56.40\01:22:58.87
I met the Master face to face.
01:22:59.27\01:23:03.78
I met Him and knew
Him and blushed to see
01:23:04.88\01:23:07.28
that His eyes full of
mercy were fixed upon me.
01:23:07.48\01:23:10.49
And then I turned
my eyes upon Jesus,
01:23:10.89\01:23:14.09
looked full in
His wonderful face,
01:23:14.79\01:23:20.56
and the things of earth
01:23:21.60\01:23:23.67
grew strangely dim
01:23:24.07\01:23:26.77
in the light of His glory
01:23:27.90\01:23:31.97
and His grace.
01:23:32.37\01:23:35.44
Hallelujah! Home At Last!
01:23:35.74\01:23:41.58
