Thousands of
songs have been written
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
about the most important
story in the history of mankind.
00:00:02.70\00:00:05.97
The sacrifice of
Jesus Christ on the cross
00:00:06.57\00:00:09.60
has inspired millions
to give Him their hearts.
00:00:09.80\00:00:13.04
Now we invite you to join
us as we lift up Jesus Christ
00:00:13.24\00:00:17.31
on this special
3ABN presentation:
00:00:17.51\00:00:20.48
with
00:00:22.98\00:00:24.72
And now:
Calvary: Love Found A Way.
00:00:52.51\00:00:55.85
Amen! Praise the Lord!
00:03:18.39\00:03:20.20
Beautiful! Thank you so much.
00:03:20.40\00:03:22.73
Beautiful! I'm going to
ask Lanny Wolfe to come up.
00:03:23.13\00:03:26.27
Come up here just a
second a little farther.
00:03:26.70\00:03:28.34
Lanny, you wrote this
song. It's a beautiful song!
00:03:28.54\00:03:31.31
And the folks out here...
you get to see better than we do
00:03:31.71\00:03:34.94
some of the LED lights
and some of the different
00:03:35.14\00:03:38.78
pictures they'll put
up and video that go along
00:03:38.98\00:03:41.75
with some of these songs.
And I want to thank our crew
00:03:41.95\00:03:44.15
for doing an
incredible job on that.
00:03:44.35\00:03:46.39
But tell us a little bit
just quickly about this song.
00:03:46.82\00:03:49.76
What inspired you to write it?
00:03:49.99\00:03:51.86
This is a lullaby Mary
is singing to the Lamb.
00:03:52.36\00:03:55.73
In a stable she's
holding the Lamb of God.
00:03:56.13\00:03:58.83
And so Mary is
saying: "Rest, tiny hands;
00:03:59.03\00:04:02.00
rest tiny heart;
rest tiny eyes. "
00:04:02.20\00:04:05.41
And so she goes
through all these items
00:04:05.61\00:04:08.01
basically singing a lullaby
to the precious Lamb of God.
00:04:08.21\00:04:11.38
It's that simple. All right.
00:04:11.58\00:04:13.08
Melody.
00:04:13.28\00:04:14.82
Beautiful!
00:10:06.33\00:10:08.00
I'm going to ask
Lanny to walk back up again.
00:10:09.77\00:10:12.21
We're getting ready to do
a song called It Was Love.
00:10:12.41\00:10:14.64
And you remember about a
year and a half or so ago
00:10:14.94\00:10:17.51
that we did a project called
Hallelujah! We're Home At Last!
00:10:17.71\00:10:20.88
And on that project
Yvonne and I wrote a song
00:10:21.28\00:10:24.62
and I said: "All of these
songs were on the second coming
00:10:25.02\00:10:28.46
but this is all on Calvary. "
00:10:28.66\00:10:31.33
So the second coming,
we decided to look from
00:10:31.53\00:10:34.30
heaven's perspective
what would be happening
00:10:34.50\00:10:37.40
instead of just
as humans looking up
00:10:37.60\00:10:40.27
what happens in
heaven. So when Jesus stands up
00:10:40.47\00:10:43.94
heaven is changed forevermore.
00:10:44.14\00:10:45.57
So in this project I
said: "We've got a lot of songs
00:10:45.77\00:10:48.21
about the cross
and Christ and Calvary,
00:10:48.41\00:10:50.78
but what about something
from heaven's perspective? "
00:10:51.05\00:10:54.15
So I began to talk to Lanny
and I said: "You know, I wonder:
00:10:54.32\00:10:58.19
did angels question God's master
plan when man fell from grace?
00:10:58.39\00:11:02.59
Could redemption be bought or
would the price be too great? "
00:11:02.89\00:11:06.09
Just kind of led
him into it from there.
00:11:06.29\00:11:08.16
He took it - and your daughter,
you might tell us about it -
00:11:08.56\00:11:12.07
and came up
with a finished song.
00:11:12.27\00:11:14.27
So I really can't
take much credit for this.
00:11:14.47\00:11:16.44
We give all credit to
God but in the fleshly sense
00:11:16.67\00:11:19.54
I'm honest, Lanny, that you and
your daughter wrote most of this
00:11:19.74\00:11:23.41
but thanks for letting
me have a little part in it.
00:11:23.61\00:11:25.91
Beautiful song! Thank
you, Danny. The important thing
00:11:26.11\00:11:29.25
in this song is that
Danny planted the seed
00:11:29.45\00:11:33.09
because without the
question "Did angels question? "
00:11:33.42\00:11:36.32
then the song...
the tree doesn't grow.
00:11:36.52\00:11:38.89
So Danny gave us the
seed, and then my daughter,
00:11:39.09\00:11:42.73
Lanna-Marie, who is
just a wonderful song writer,
00:11:42.93\00:11:45.07
and I took the seed
and watered the seed.
00:11:45.47\00:11:49.84
And basically from the
first two or three lines
00:11:50.04\00:11:52.84
we finished the song.
Basically, when this happens
00:11:53.04\00:11:55.58
the best way I co-write
is: "Give me what you have
00:11:55.78\00:11:58.61
and leave me alone.
" Get out of his way!
00:11:58.81\00:12:00.52
Get out of my way and
let me finish the song.
00:12:01.45\00:12:03.52
And... we came back together
on the song called It Was Love.
00:12:03.92\00:12:09.92
All right. Ladye Love,
can you help me with this?
00:12:10.33\00:12:13.80
Amen! Praise the
Lord! Thank you, Ladye.
00:17:26.07\00:17:29.94
The next song we're going to
do is entitled, we entitled it
00:17:31.48\00:17:34.92
Gethsemane.
00:17:35.12\00:17:36.45
And were were rushing
to get a lot of songs done
00:17:36.48\00:17:39.65
and try to write some new ones.
00:17:39.85\00:17:41.59
And the night before
we went down to Nashville
00:17:41.79\00:17:44.13
to track the songs I
was sitting with my guitar
00:17:44.33\00:17:47.60
and this little tune came to me.
00:17:47.83\00:17:50.13
And the words just seemed
like they just literally flowed.
00:17:50.33\00:17:53.64
And it said: "He
suffered Gethsemane
00:17:53.84\00:17:57.01
through blood,
sweat, and tears. "
00:17:57.41\00:17:59.91
And I said:
"Wow! That's strong! "
00:18:00.78\00:18:03.48
"Each drop of blood He
shed bought me a million years.
00:18:03.68\00:18:06.55
God's crowning sacrifice... "
00:18:07.22\00:18:09.42
I said: "Man, this
is not coming from me. "
00:18:09.62\00:18:12.95
Some of you are song
writers. You ever write a song
00:18:13.15\00:18:14.96
or maybe write
poems? I know you guys do.
00:18:15.16\00:18:17.39
Sometimes you know
when you really work at it
00:18:17.59\00:18:19.69
then other times when it seems
like God just throws it on you.
00:18:19.89\00:18:24.87
Says: "Here, take it... what
are you going to do with it? "
00:18:25.07\00:18:27.17
Well, I'm very limited as a
song writer and as a musician.
00:18:27.37\00:18:30.91
But I said: "Man,
that song is so powerful! "
00:18:31.11\00:18:33.58
"The spotless Lamb of God
who now is the great I AM. "
00:18:33.98\00:18:37.25
And I said: "That
is a powerful chorus. "
00:18:37.45\00:18:39.91
Reggie called me...
talking about, the next morning
00:18:40.12\00:18:42.22
and I sang it to him. I
had my guitar, and he said:
00:18:42.42\00:18:44.95
"Danny, you've got to
put that on the project. "
00:18:45.15\00:18:46.99
I said: "Reggie, I
don't have a chorus. "
00:18:47.19\00:18:48.79
"I don't have... I just
have the music to the chorus
00:18:48.99\00:18:51.49
and the words. I
don't have any verses. "
00:18:51.69\00:18:53.03
"Think about it; pray about it.
The Lord will give it to you. "
00:18:53.19\00:18:55.86
So I was talking
to my brother Kenny.
00:18:56.26\00:18:58.93
I said: "The Lord gave me
this. " He said: "Man, you've
00:18:59.13\00:19:02.87
got to do this! "
Talking to Yvonne Lewis later.
00:19:03.07\00:19:05.94
Next morning we
were going to Nashville
00:19:06.14\00:19:08.44
I talked to these
people and they said:
00:19:08.64\00:19:10.18
"I can't get that
song out of my mind.
00:19:10.38\00:19:11.91
You need to finish that
song and do it on the project. "
00:19:12.11\00:19:14.42
So I went to the airport to pick
up in Nashville Lanny Wolfe.
00:19:14.82\00:19:17.79
I said: "Lanny, the Lord
gave me this little chorus... "
00:19:17.99\00:19:20.12
And that's how you do if you
think somebody, without asking
00:19:20.32\00:19:23.76
them to co-write, a
guy like him, you don't
00:19:23.96\00:19:25.86
just ask him to
co-write so you try to be...
00:19:26.06\00:19:28.46
And he knew exactly
what I was doing, but I said:
00:19:28.66\00:19:30.47
"Lanny, the Lord gave
me this little chorus. "
00:19:30.67\00:19:33.64
And this is evening
by this time. We'd done
00:19:33.84\00:19:35.44
one day of tracking. And
the next morning we went to
00:19:35.64\00:19:38.97
breakfast. Lanny said:
"Danny, I can't get that song
00:19:39.17\00:19:41.58
out of my mind. You want me
to write the verses to it? "
00:19:41.78\00:19:44.51
I said: "Absolutely! "
00:19:44.71\00:19:46.08
So literally that evening
he put together - penned -
00:19:46.48\00:19:49.85
some of the most
beautiful words I've ever heard
00:19:50.09\00:19:52.65
to the song... the
first verse, the last verse.
00:19:52.85\00:19:55.19
And we asked Reggie to sing it.
00:19:55.39\00:19:57.33
It's absolutely...
I cry when I hear it.
00:19:57.53\00:19:59.76
I know it's not
me, it's not Lanny.
00:20:00.00\00:20:01.80
This: we do give
God the credit for this.
00:20:02.00\00:20:04.23
But Gethsemane... Reggie.
00:20:04.40\00:20:07.24
Thank you... thank you, Reggie.
00:26:05.73\00:26:08.40
Wow! Praise the Lord!
00:26:08.60\00:26:10.20
God is good, isn't He? Amen!
00:26:10.40\00:26:12.50
Did you see some of the pictures
behind to give a little...
00:26:12.70\00:26:16.74
Jesus. We can't imagine. It says
He sweat great drops of blood.
00:26:16.94\00:26:20.71
But each drop of blood
bought us a million years
00:26:21.88\00:26:24.28
and more. This love...
we'll never understand it.
00:26:24.48\00:26:28.08
About a year and a
half or two years ago
00:26:28.78\00:26:30.62
I had written... We were getting
ready to do another project
00:26:30.92\00:26:33.56
and I was down with
Lari Goss, a great friend
00:26:33.76\00:26:35.82
and wonderful wonderful
man. He's now resting in Jesus.
00:26:36.02\00:26:39.19
And I was at his place and I
said: "There's a song that... "
00:26:39.39\00:26:43.20
We needed one more song. I
said: "I just wrote a little,
00:26:43.43\00:26:45.43
a little song and it
says, I entitled it Calvary Says
00:26:45.63\00:26:49.30
Love To Me. And I played
it for him on the guitar.
00:26:49.50\00:26:52.17
He said: "Danny, we've got
to do this on the project. "
00:26:52.37\00:26:54.58
So as we come to this
project: songs on Calvary.
00:26:54.98\00:26:58.28
And that's what
Calvary says to us.
00:26:58.68\00:27:00.85
Think about it. It says love.
00:27:01.25\00:27:03.12
You know, the cross
of itself is nothing.
00:27:03.32\00:27:05.49
I can go out and make a cross.
00:27:05.69\00:27:07.19
We can do all kinds of things.
00:27:07.39\00:27:08.72
But Jesus shed
blood on that cross
00:27:08.82\00:27:10.86
is what changed the whole world.
00:27:11.06\00:27:12.73
When we think about it, we think
about the cross of Calvary.
00:27:13.63\00:27:16.60
We're going to have
Ladye Love come and sing
00:27:17.00\00:27:18.87
Calvary Says Love To Me.
00:27:19.07\00:27:21.34
Thank you. Beautiful!
00:31:53.11\00:31:56.14
Absolutely. You know,
what's amazing to me is
00:31:56.34\00:31:59.41
when God has...
Everybody has different gifts.
00:31:59.61\00:32:03.15
And I was sitting there
thinking about almost every note
00:32:03.49\00:32:06.29
that you heard of all those
instruments was in her mind
00:32:06.49\00:32:09.79
and Lari's mind. And then
you add people like Gordon
00:32:10.03\00:32:13.83
on there and Tim Parton,
then get these singers on here
00:32:14.00\00:32:18.10
and I don't think that God's
people have to take a back seat
00:32:18.30\00:32:21.37
to the world, do you? No!
00:32:21.57\00:32:22.90
And I'm so thankful that
each and every one of these folk
00:32:23.00\00:32:25.81
have chosen to use
their gifts and their talents
00:32:26.01\00:32:29.31
and abilities for God's work.
00:32:29.51\00:32:32.28
And tonight the question
would be: what about you?
00:32:32.88\00:32:35.22
What about me?
00:32:35.52\00:32:36.89
As we're here singing, and
I'm enjoying being able to sing
00:32:37.09\00:32:40.42
with such great
singers and musicians,
00:32:40.62\00:32:42.16
but most importantly is
what does Calvary mean to us?
00:32:42.36\00:32:45.56
What does Calvary say to us?
00:32:45.76\00:32:47.50
Does Calvary say love to us?
00:32:47.66\00:32:49.70
You see, without a relationship
with the Lord Jesus Christ
00:32:49.90\00:32:52.97
we're going nowhere.
00:32:53.17\00:32:54.50
Literally, there's
no life, there's no hope
00:32:54.67\00:32:57.81
without the shed blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ
00:32:58.01\00:33:01.11
on the cross of
Calvary. I'm so thankful that
00:33:01.31\00:33:04.28
He's a God of mercy.
00:33:04.48\00:33:05.81
That He's a God of patience.
00:33:06.05\00:33:07.78
That He doesn't mind taking
the clay and re-molding it
00:33:08.18\00:33:11.95
from time to time.
00:33:12.15\00:33:13.49
But He'll only do that if we
come to Him and confess our sins
00:33:13.56\00:33:17.43
"Lord, I'm a sinner. "
00:33:17.63\00:33:19.69
He says if we do that
He is faithful and just
00:33:20.10\00:33:22.70
to forgive us from our
sins and cleanse us from some
00:33:23.10\00:33:25.47
of our unrighteousness.
ALL! Oh, ya'll are still awake?
00:33:25.67\00:33:28.74
All right. All...
all unrighteousness.
00:33:28.94\00:33:32.11
Isn't that amazing?
00:33:32.31\00:33:33.64
That we as frail human agents
00:33:33.68\00:33:35.81
that God would even
not destroy all of us.
00:33:36.21\00:33:39.98
But He didn't. His love
for us is beyond comprehension.
00:33:40.58\00:33:45.79
So... as great a
writer as Lanny Wolfe is
00:33:45.99\00:33:48.16
when he gets to heaven he's
going to have to sit in the back
00:33:48.36\00:33:50.93
corner and say: "I thought I
was a pretty good song writer
00:33:51.13\00:33:53.56
but I didn't know half
the story. I didn't know
00:33:53.76\00:33:57.00
a tenth of the story.
" Because we won't know.
00:33:57.20\00:33:59.57
The Bible says: "Now we
see through a glass darkly
00:33:59.77\00:34:02.20
but then face to face. "
00:34:02.60\00:34:05.77
Isn't that wonderful?
00:34:06.17\00:34:07.51
I praise God for
His plan of salvation.
00:34:07.58\00:34:12.55
Amen! It's very simple.
00:34:12.75\00:34:14.62
Maybe the
greatest song ever written
00:34:14.82\00:34:17.39
Jesus loves me, this I know
00:34:17.59\00:34:20.26
for the Bible tells me so.
00:34:20.46\00:34:22.69
Right? Little
ones to Him belong,
00:34:23.09\00:34:24.83
they are weak but HE is strong.
00:34:25.03\00:34:27.73
Yes Jesus loves me;
00:34:27.93\00:34:29.76
yes Jesus loves me. Do
you love Jesus tonight?
00:34:29.96\00:34:32.40
Amen! I don't care
what your problem is
00:34:32.60\00:34:34.80
Jesus is coming
back for a purified bride
00:34:35.00\00:34:37.64
and a purified church.
00:34:37.84\00:34:39.17
And as I travel around I
see ya'll are just like me.
00:34:39.37\00:34:42.41
You've got a lot of
problems in your life.
00:34:42.61\00:34:44.28
Right? And I don't think
the reason Jesus is not here yet
00:34:44.68\00:34:48.18
is not because
we're waiting on Him.
00:34:48.38\00:34:50.55
He's waiting on us.
00:34:50.75\00:34:52.09
He's waiting on His
people to perfect His character
00:34:52.19\00:34:55.12
within our lives so
that He can come back
00:34:55.32\00:34:57.59
for a purified
bride... a purified church.
00:34:57.73\00:35:00.13
And when we get to that point
He says: "I, if I be lifted up
00:35:00.33\00:35:03.77
from this earth will
draw some folk to Me. "
00:35:03.97\00:35:06.40
All! You're
still awake; all right!
00:35:06.60\00:35:08.90
"Draw all men unto Me. "
00:35:09.10\00:35:11.57
So I'm so thankful
tonight to have this opportunity
00:35:11.77\00:35:15.34
to be here and minister music
00:35:15.74\00:35:19.21
that talks about
Jesus. Right? The cross...
00:35:19.41\00:35:22.62
the sanctuary. To give
the world a last-day message
00:35:22.82\00:35:26.86
because I believe we're living
in the end times, don't you?
00:35:27.06\00:35:29.39
Amen! We have present truth to
give to a lost and dying world.
00:35:29.59\00:35:33.16
If we don't do it, who will?
00:35:33.40\00:35:34.83
I don't want to stand
before Jesus and Him say
00:35:35.23\00:35:38.40
"Why didn't you do?
You had the truth, but you
00:35:38.60\00:35:40.50
didn't tell anybody. " I
was over in London the other day
00:35:40.70\00:35:44.94
and somebody there
said to me: "You know what?
00:35:45.14\00:35:47.48
This is not like
anywhere else in the world.
00:35:47.88\00:35:49.81
London is
impossible to reach people.
00:35:50.01\00:35:53.31
People don't want the truth;
they're not willing to change. "
00:35:53.72\00:35:57.15
And I said: "Well then
why didn't Jesus say in
00:35:57.35\00:35:59.39
Matthew 28:18-20 "Go ye into
all the world except London? "
00:35:59.59\00:36:03.36
See? He didn't say that, did He?
00:36:03.76\00:36:06.19
He said: "Go ye
into all the world. "
00:36:06.59\00:36:08.23
And I said: "I can
tell you for a fact
00:36:08.43\00:36:10.50
that people in
London are looking for truth
00:36:10.90\00:36:13.54
and they are looking for
a change. " There are 30,000
00:36:13.74\00:36:17.71
preachers throughout
the great city of London
00:36:18.11\00:36:20.91
but there are over
80,000 registered witches.
00:36:21.11\00:36:23.65
There is every kind of cult
you can think of: the New Age.
00:36:24.61\00:36:27.82
There's all kinds of
false religions who do not
00:36:28.02\00:36:31.52
give honor and glory to the
Lord Jesus Christ and to God
00:36:31.72\00:36:34.92
and they're
growing by the millions.
00:36:35.32\00:36:37.33
The reason I believe
they're not accepting truth -
00:36:37.73\00:36:41.13
not only London... here:
West Frankfort, Illinois,
00:36:41.33\00:36:43.73
whether you're from
Alabama, Tennessee, Africa...
00:36:43.93\00:36:46.13
I don't care where you're from -
00:36:46.33\00:36:47.67
is because we have been
ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
00:36:47.70\00:36:50.07
We should be so
excited that everybody we see
00:36:50.37\00:36:53.98
we want to tell them about our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:36:54.18\00:36:57.01
Am I right? Amen! I'm
starting to get excited
00:36:57.21\00:37:00.45
so I'm not a preacher.
Not a son of a preacher.
00:37:00.65\00:37:02.78
I'm going to back up, but
we're going to sing a little bit
00:37:02.98\00:37:05.25
about heaven right now.
00:37:05.45\00:37:06.79
Heaven came down
and what happened?
00:37:06.99\00:37:08.62
Glory filled
our soul. All right.
00:37:08.82\00:37:10.46
Quartet? OK. All right.
00:37:10.66\00:37:14.10
I'll try. I don't
have much voice left
00:37:14.30\00:37:16.13
but we'll do it.
00:37:16.33\00:37:18.10
Amen! Yeah! Amen!
00:40:39.40\00:40:41.70
Thank you. Thank
you guys. Beautiful!
00:40:41.90\00:40:45.11
I want to say a
word about Reggie Smith.
00:40:46.37\00:40:49.08
Reggie... I called Reggie
to say: "Reggie, would you
00:40:49.28\00:40:52.15
produce this project?
" If you don't know what
00:40:52.35\00:40:54.68
a producer does
you can ask Ladye Love.
00:40:54.88\00:40:57.52
He spends... If you have
a studio - a music studio
00:40:57.72\00:41:02.06
in your attic - they
call it their attic -
00:41:02.26\00:41:04.49
a nice little
upstairs. But if you have one,
00:41:04.69\00:41:07.20
you spend about
several months in the studio
00:41:07.40\00:41:10.23
so she and Bret didn't
get to see him very much
00:41:10.43\00:41:13.17
unless they went
upstairs in the studio.
00:41:13.40\00:41:15.44
But Reggie literally pro-
duced, put everything together.
00:41:15.64\00:41:18.37
Worked with Kris, Gordon...
Larry... everybody together
00:41:18.57\00:41:23.71
and with the choir...
putting all the choir.
00:41:23.91\00:41:25.85
Arranging. He
literally arranged all the parts
00:41:26.05\00:41:28.52
that we're doing. So
Reggie, thank you so much
00:41:28.72\00:41:31.89
for the literally
hundreds of hours and months
00:41:32.09\00:41:34.52
that you have put
into this project.
00:41:34.72\00:41:37.29
Our next song is
Precious Blood. Lanny,
00:41:39.89\00:41:42.33
come and tell us about
this. You wrote this song.
00:41:42.53\00:41:44.97
Paul talks about a
thorn in his flesh.
00:41:46.20\00:41:49.40
Well for many years of
my life a thorn in my flesh
00:41:49.80\00:41:52.14
was cellulitis. Some
of you know what that is?
00:41:52.34\00:41:55.08
I don't know what it is;
I just know I would get it.
00:41:55.48\00:41:57.85
And when I would get it,
it would, my ankle would hurt
00:41:58.25\00:42:02.15
and it would get red, and I
couldn't even walk to the car
00:42:02.35\00:42:05.09
to go to the hospital. And
then I'd be in the hospital
00:42:05.29\00:42:07.56
for a week and pay
$10,000 and come home...
00:42:07.69\00:42:10.43
and then work to pay
off the hospital bill.
00:42:10.83\00:42:12.39
So that's what cellulitis was.
00:42:12.59\00:42:14.00
I was on a chorale tour.
We were in Cincinnati, Ohio.
00:42:14.20\00:42:17.43
I would never know when
this was going to happen.
00:42:17.63\00:42:19.27
It just happened.
And so we were there
00:42:19.47\00:42:21.77
and it happened in the middle of
a service. I had 50 young people
00:42:21.97\00:42:25.54
on a chorale tour, and I
thought: "God, I don't know
00:42:25.74\00:42:28.38
if I can make it
through this service.
00:42:28.58\00:42:29.91
Help me get through this
service. " So at the end of the
00:42:29.94\00:42:32.05
service I turned the chorale...
we had more tour dates...
00:42:32.25\00:42:34.45
so I turned it over to
somebody to go on with the choir
00:42:34.65\00:42:38.19
to the next city. I said:
"Take me to the emergency room "
00:42:38.39\00:42:40.92
and they did. And so they put me
in a room and they started doing
00:42:41.09\00:42:46.80
all the stuff they do.
And the first thing they do
00:42:47.00\00:42:49.26
is take your blood. Well,
I've had my blood taken many
00:42:49.46\00:42:52.73
times. You have, too.
But it was what I call
00:42:52.93\00:42:56.24
as a song writer
"the moment of truth. "
00:42:56.44\00:42:58.81
It was THIS time, when
they were taking my blood,
00:43:00.21\00:43:04.15
Bro. Murray...
THIS TIME I got it.
00:43:04.51\00:43:09.25
Without blood, none of
the rest of this works.
00:43:10.79\00:43:13.66
All right. It doesn't matter
how beautiful your body is.
00:43:14.06\00:43:16.83
It doesn't matter how
much money you've got.
00:43:17.23\00:43:19.29
If the blood is not
there, nothing's there.
00:43:19.49\00:43:22.56
And so at that moment of truth
00:43:23.06\00:43:25.07
God impressed me
that for hundreds of years
00:43:25.27\00:43:28.67
lambs were brought to
offer for sacrifice for sins.
00:43:28.87\00:43:33.88
But Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God - Amen! -
00:43:34.28\00:43:37.55
All right - He went to the
cross and He said - come on:
00:43:38.05\00:43:41.65
"I will go and I will
shed once and for all. "
00:43:41.85\00:43:45.39
All right. "You don't
need to bring any more lambs.
00:43:45.59\00:43:48.16
I am The Lamb... I am the
Lamb of God. " That's right!
00:43:48.36\00:43:51.39
Once and for all He
drank the bitter cup
00:43:51.59\00:43:54.63
and He took the stripes
on His back for our healing.
00:43:54.83\00:43:59.03
And so Jesus Christ
heals. He heals today!
00:43:59.77\00:44:03.61
You need to be
healed? He took the stripes
00:44:04.01\00:44:06.98
on His back so
we could be healed.
00:44:07.18\00:44:09.18
And so this song
came in a hospital room
00:44:09.44\00:44:12.41
in Cincinnati,
Ohio: Precious Blood.
00:44:12.61\00:44:15.12
Melody.
00:44:15.32\00:44:16.99
Amen! Amen! Praise the Lord!
00:48:31.34\00:48:35.24
Wow! I don't know about you all
but I'm getting those great big
00:48:41.22\00:48:44.12
old chill bumps all over
me. I'm going to call them
00:48:44.32\00:48:46.86
Holy Spirit bumps, all
right? 'Cause it's sure not cold
00:48:47.06\00:48:50.16
in here. But I feel the
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
00:48:50.36\00:48:53.43
Is anybody with
me on this tonight?
00:48:53.63\00:48:55.73
Because we're singing about the
only thing that really matters
00:48:56.13\00:48:59.60
in life, right? 'Cause
life itself... the Life Giver.
00:48:59.80\00:49:03.77
We're bringing honor and
glory and praise to Him tonight.
00:49:03.97\00:49:08.34
Reggie. We were at
your house visiting...
00:49:08.98\00:49:11.55
Reggie went to the piano and
said: "I think I've got a song.
00:49:11.75\00:49:16.35
that might work
on the project. "
00:49:16.55\00:49:18.35
And it worked. A
beautiful song. Tell us
00:49:19.82\00:49:21.89
about this song.
Well, this is an old hymn
00:49:22.09\00:49:24.16
and... just a
different arrangement. With
00:49:25.26\00:49:27.13
a different arrangement...
a little twist to it.
00:49:27.36\00:49:29.00
At The Cross. You
know that hymn, right?
00:49:29.20\00:49:31.73
And I didn't know if it would,
you know, fit for the project.
00:49:32.13\00:49:34.90
You know you want to tie
everything together nicely.
00:49:35.10\00:49:37.31
And I was a little scared
to play it for Danny, honestly.
00:49:37.51\00:49:40.08
I was a little nervous but I
said: "Well I was just working
00:49:40.58\00:49:42.54
on this little hymn. "
And Yvonne was sitting there.
00:49:42.74\00:49:44.88
So I started playing along
00:49:45.28\00:49:47.42
and Yvonne said: "Um-hmm... yes.
00:49:47.62\00:49:49.95
Yes, yes, yes... it's in! "
00:49:50.19\00:49:54.32
So that made the cut. So
it's a beautiful, beautiful...
00:49:55.72\00:49:58.69
old lyric but a good
song. So... thank you.
00:49:58.89\00:50:01.26
All right. I'm going to
ask Lanny Wolfe and Melody
00:54:33.50\00:54:36.14
to come up. I have to
tell you a really short story.
00:54:36.54\00:54:40.94
I don't have much voice left
00:54:41.34\00:54:43.71
but I've got
enough to tell THIS story.
00:54:43.91\00:54:45.28
I mean, we've gotta talk about
something tonight, right? OK.
00:54:46.68\00:54:50.25
Another idea came to me.
I'm going to let you do this.
00:54:50.65\00:54:53.22
No, no, no. Another
idea came to me about a song
00:54:53.42\00:54:56.79
and I said... Started
talking about it. I told Lanny,
00:54:57.19\00:55:00.86
I said: "I've got this, I think
it's a great idea for a song! "
00:55:01.03\00:55:04.07
He said: "Danny, that's a
baby that needs to be birthed...
00:55:04.53\00:55:07.47
needs to be born. "
00:55:07.87\00:55:09.20
Hung the worlds in space...
I said: "Hung the worlds in
00:55:09.34\00:55:11.47
space was the One who hung
on the cross in our place. "
00:55:11.67\00:55:14.34
Now... That hit me:
that's powerful. I said:
00:55:14.54\00:55:16.85
"Now what if we could write,
Joy, what if we could write
00:55:17.05\00:55:19.38
all the parallels like that? "
00:55:19.58\00:55:21.55
Something from heaven to earth.
00:55:21.95\00:55:23.69
Lanny said: "Oh...
that's wonderful! "
00:55:23.89\00:55:25.55
So we told Melody about it.
Melody came up with the first
00:55:25.95\00:55:28.79
line or two and then
Lanny came up with some more.
00:55:28.99\00:55:32.79
Pretty soon I saw the three-way
e- mails were going to two-way
00:55:32.99\00:55:37.13
e- mails... and
my name was left out.
00:55:37.33\00:55:39.77
My name was left out.
00:55:41.90\00:55:43.47
And I said: "Now wait a
minute! I thought I had the baby
00:55:43.67\00:55:46.21
that was supposed to be born. "
00:55:46.41\00:55:47.74
And so now all of a
sudden things got very quiet.
00:55:47.98\00:55:51.65
You know what that's like?
Like, I'd look at my e-mail:
00:55:52.05\00:55:54.68
"Now surely they'll...
No... nothing here today. "
00:55:54.88\00:55:57.62
So anyway, but I'm really glad.
00:55:58.12\00:56:00.92
I'm really glad. I love
teasing Melody about this.
00:56:01.12\00:56:03.39
Now you know Lanny's in charge.
00:56:03.59\00:56:05.39
So blame Lanny? Hear what he
says... Now wait just a minute!
00:56:05.59\00:56:09.76
God woke me up in
the middle of the night
00:56:09.96\00:56:11.87
with a chorus that was in
an Easter musical... my first
00:56:12.27\00:56:16.81
Easter musical...
called Love Found A Way.
00:56:17.01\00:56:19.44
And I thought it was a chorus
because at the time it was.
00:56:19.64\00:56:22.84
It had 3 lines and then
it repeated the third line.
00:56:23.24\00:56:26.82
It really wasn't a
full- fledged "legit" chorus.
00:56:27.22\00:56:29.92
God woke me up in
the middle of the night
00:56:30.32\00:56:32.35
and reminded me that
it wasn't a real chorus...
00:56:32.55\00:56:35.16
to make it a chorus. So
I called Danny and Melody
00:56:35.36\00:56:38.29
and I said: "I've got
the glue for this song. "
00:56:38.69\00:56:43.06
And that was the moment
when your line almost went dead.
00:56:43.47\00:56:46.50
When he said
"Danny... you're out. "
00:56:46.70\00:56:48.57
But what I'm going to try
to do is sing on it anyway.
00:56:50.61\00:56:53.21
Right? I was a part
of it. But honestly,
00:56:53.44\00:56:55.98
it is such a
beautiful song and Lanny said:
00:56:56.18\00:56:59.41
"It'll just be
birthed at another time. "
00:56:59.61\00:57:01.35
The idea that I had. So
I'm going to hold you to that,
00:57:01.55\00:57:03.92
OK? But thank you,
Melody, for your support in this
00:57:04.12\00:57:07.29
and the words that you gave -
thank you - and working together
00:57:07.49\00:57:09.42
with Lanny. Beautiful song,
and we're actually entitling
00:57:09.62\00:57:12.83
this whole project
Calvary: Love Found A Way.
00:57:13.03\00:57:16.77
Amen!
01:01:58.05\01:01:59.71
Love found a
way. Aren't you glad?
01:02:02.38\01:02:04.19
Amen! I'm thankful. Without
that there's nothing, folks.
01:02:04.35\01:02:07.06
Love found a way. Melody,
Lanny, thank you so much.
01:02:07.26\01:02:11.09
We're going to have
Reggie and Ladye come up.
01:02:11.49\01:02:13.26
Another beautiful song. This
was written by? Dottie Rambo.
01:02:13.50\01:02:17.13
Dottie Rambo. The
wonderful Dottie Rambo, yes.
01:02:17.33\01:02:19.23
Beautiful song. Ladye Love,
you going to sing with him?
01:02:19.63\01:02:22.54
I Will Glory In The
Cross is the name of this one.
01:02:22.74\01:02:24.87
And Danny you know, when
we... to do the arrangement and
01:02:25.07\01:02:27.74
we all got together in
Kris's room and we started
01:02:28.14\01:02:30.91
trying to figure out how...
It was fun. Oh, you kidding me?
01:02:31.05\01:02:34.32
She's
magnificent, she's amazing.
01:02:34.52\01:02:36.12
And when you called me,
Danny, to produce this thing
01:02:36.32\01:02:38.35
you didn't tell... I
told everybody no twice.
01:02:38.55\01:02:40.72
I told you no twice. You
did! Because our dear friend
01:02:40.92\01:02:44.33
and the most wonderful
producer that we ever knew
01:02:44.53\01:02:47.86
was Lari Goss. He
produced our last Hallelujah!
01:02:48.03\01:02:50.43
And so there was just no way -
01:02:50.83\01:02:53.30
me - I could follow
up anything like that.
01:02:53.70\01:02:56.27
Are you kidding
me? Really? Lari Goss?
01:02:56.47\01:02:57.94
But you know what? I said:
"If we can build a great team -
01:02:58.34\01:03:01.04
a great team - then we can
get through this. " Absolutely!
01:03:01.44\01:03:04.28
Of course we started with
the magnificent orchestrator
01:03:04.48\01:03:07.72
over there, and then
Larry obviously was there too
01:03:07.92\01:03:10.79
helping write some, and then
great musicians and everything.
01:03:10.99\01:03:13.86
And you know, we got to
thinking about this song.
01:03:14.26\01:03:15.66
We said: "How do we treat
this because it's been recorded
01:03:15.86\01:03:17.63
many many times? "
Larnelle Harris did a wonderful
01:03:17.83\01:03:19.69
arrangement of this song...
an incredible arrangement.
01:03:19.89\01:03:21.63
And we started thinking: "How
would... " I started thinking:
01:03:22.80\01:03:25.23
"How would maybe Miss
Dottie have written this song? "
01:03:25.53\01:03:28.80
And she... I think she's
from Kentucky originally.
01:03:29.40\01:03:32.04
Is that right? Kentucky.
So she was a country girl
01:03:32.24\01:03:35.04
I think, and she
played a guitar...
01:03:35.24\01:03:37.55
just kind of
simple chords guitar.
01:03:37.75\01:03:39.51
And I don't think she would
have played all these fancy
01:03:39.71\01:03:41.75
chords all over
the world, you know.
01:03:41.95\01:03:43.75
She'd have played just
straight... straight ahead.
01:03:43.95\01:03:46.09
And so we kind of put a
Celtic - OK - feeling to it.
01:03:46.29\01:03:49.16
Celtic-Kentucky
feeling to it. OK.
01:03:49.36\01:03:51.29
So that's what we came
to. Yeah, that's right.
01:03:51.73\01:03:55.30
Beautiful! I will
glory in the cross.
01:08:44.52\01:08:47.82
I also want to thank E.T.
Everett sitting down front
01:08:48.22\01:08:50.76
right here. Amen! Amen!
Some of the folks, you might not
01:08:50.96\01:08:53.29
be able see her on camera too
much but what an incredible job!
01:08:53.50\01:08:57.13
She's our sound center
manager. Incredible musician.
01:08:57.33\01:09:00.37
Literally arranger, singer; and
she's worked countless hours.
01:09:01.87\01:09:05.84
Bobby Bradley... chief
engineer, sound engineer.
01:09:06.04\01:09:09.48
Incredible. He is
always behind the scenes.
01:09:09.68\01:09:11.91
And our whole 3ABN crew
here for what they're doing...
01:09:12.31\01:09:15.12
it's so neat. In fact, I
can say after thirty-one years
01:09:15.32\01:09:18.42
it's fun working
together. Isn't it, ET?
01:09:18.62\01:09:21.62
It's still fun after all
these years when you literally
01:09:21.82\01:09:24.73
know that you're doing some-
thing for the Lord Jesus Christ
01:09:25.13\01:09:28.43
and you're able to do it with
folk who have the same likes...
01:09:28.63\01:09:31.47
the same desires and
same mission and motives
01:09:31.67\01:09:36.17
that you do, and that's to ful-
fill the great Gospel Commission
01:09:36.37\01:09:39.87
"Go ye into all the world. "
01:09:40.28\01:09:41.71
Tell the people
about the Lord Jesus Christ
01:09:41.91\01:09:44.25
and Him crucified...
giving present truth
01:09:44.38\01:09:47.25
to a lost and dying world.
01:09:47.45\01:09:48.78
Now we're going to do a medley.
01:09:49.15\01:09:50.69
I think Reggie's going to
go down now and direct, right?
01:09:50.89\01:09:53.25
Help direct. So
we're going to do...
01:09:53.46\01:09:55.36
Thank you, E.T. You've
been doing a great job...
01:09:55.76\01:09:57.43
for all that you do. Now
we're going to do a hymn medley.
01:09:57.63\01:10:00.30
When you know it, some
of the songs you hear it,
01:10:00.50\01:10:02.33
give us a little bit.
C.A. is going to come out
01:10:02.63\01:10:04.83
and John and then
maybe on some of the choruses
01:10:05.03\01:10:07.00
you join with us.
01:10:07.20\01:10:08.94
You know what? You all
sound really good out there.
01:15:59.69\01:16:02.22
Thank you for
singing. It's really nice
01:16:03.26\01:16:05.29
when we sing to hear you
all singing back on songs
01:16:05.49\01:16:08.26
that you know. The
next song is a song that
01:16:08.46\01:16:11.33
Reggie and Ladye and
maybe Marty... I'm not sure
01:16:11.53\01:16:15.14
who all wrote on
this song. But come up and
01:16:15.34\01:16:18.17
tell us about it
and sing it for us.
01:16:18.37\01:16:20.68
It's entitled I'll Never Know.
01:16:21.04\01:16:22.94
Danny, I think we're just
going to sing it and let it
01:16:26.55\01:16:28.55
speak for itself. All right.
01:16:28.75\01:16:30.69
But Marty did a great
job, right? But Marty, honestly
01:16:31.49\01:16:34.09
wrote some music, and I had
a kind of a hook in my mind.
01:16:34.29\01:16:38.39
You know the hook? You've got
to come up with the hook, right,
01:16:38.59\01:16:40.50
for the song? Had
written the music and I just
01:16:40.70\01:16:43.10
was not pleased at all with what
was going on with the lyric.
01:16:43.33\01:16:46.43
I was just not pleased
with it. As a matter of fact,
01:16:46.74\01:16:48.20
the only reason it got
brought back was because Danny
01:16:48.60\01:16:51.11
brought it back because I had
already thrown it on the cutting
01:16:51.31\01:16:53.01
floor. It wasn't
going to make the cut.
01:16:53.21\01:16:54.58
But anyway... And
then Marty is amazing
01:16:54.98\01:16:56.95
and so he wrote a great
lyric to it. So... here we are.
01:16:57.15\01:17:01.85
Amen! Thank you!
Beautiful! Beautiful!
01:20:27.32\01:20:30.69
Our last song on this
project... we saved it
01:20:33.96\01:20:38.10
last for a reason.
01:20:38.50\01:20:40.94
It's probably one of
the most worshipful songs.
01:20:41.34\01:20:44.24
When you listen to
it you can't hardly help
01:20:44.41\01:20:47.14
but get in the spirit of
worship of our Creator God.
01:20:47.34\01:20:50.38
Lanny wrote it, and I
can actually say this without
01:20:50.58\01:20:53.55
trying to be too funny... but
he co-wrote it with Beethoven,
01:20:53.75\01:20:56.32
wasn't it? In other words he
borrowed - we'll use the word
01:20:56.52\01:21:01.02
borrowed - some
of Beethoven's music
01:21:01.22\01:21:03.86
and added his own Lanny Wolfe.
01:21:04.26\01:21:06.70
But what an incredible
song! And we were able to get
01:21:06.90\01:21:09.93
the Aeolians from
Oakwood University
01:21:10.13\01:21:12.37
so you'll hear them
singing with the choir here.
01:21:12.57\01:21:15.27
Absolutely
incredible young people.
01:21:15.47\01:21:17.91
Love Jesus... talent
that's off the charts.
01:21:18.11\01:21:20.94
And we're so thankful for them
01:21:21.28\01:21:23.08
and their leadership in
being able to come to the studio
01:21:23.31\01:21:26.55
and help Yvonne Lewis.
Yvonne's going to be singing
01:21:26.78\01:21:29.32
the lead part. Absolutely
beautiful song! Thank you, Lanny
01:21:29.52\01:21:32.59
for this song, and
Praise His Holy Name.
01:21:32.79\01:21:36.36
