Thousands of
songs have been written
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
about the most important
story in the history of mankind.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.87
The sacrifice of
Jesus Christ on the cross
00:00:05.47\00:00:08.50
has inspired millions
to give Him their hearts.
00:00:08.70\00:00:11.97
Now we invite you to join
us as we lift up Jesus Christ
00:00:12.17\00:00:16.18
on this special
3ABN presentation:
00:00:16.38\00:00:19.38
with
00:00:21.88\00:00:23.65
And now:
Calvary: Love Found A Way.
00:00:51.45\00:00:54.78
Amen! Praise the Lord!
00:03:17.29\00:03:19.09
Beautiful! Thank you so much.
00:03:19.29\00:03:21.63
Beautiful! I'm going to
ask Lanny Wolfe to come up.
00:03:22.03\00:03:25.17
Come up here just a
second a little farther.
00:03:25.57\00:03:27.24
Lanny, you wrote this
song. It's a beautiful song!
00:03:27.44\00:03:30.21
And the folks out here...
you get to see better than we do
00:03:30.61\00:03:33.84
some of the LED lights
and some of the different
00:03:34.04\00:03:37.68
pictures they'll put
up and video that go along
00:03:37.88\00:03:40.65
with some of these songs.
And I want to thank our crew
00:03:40.85\00:03:43.05
for doing an
incredible job on that.
00:03:43.25\00:03:45.29
But tell us a little bit
just quickly about this song.
00:03:45.69\00:03:48.66
What inspired you to write it?
00:03:48.86\00:03:50.79
This is a lullaby Mary
is singing to the Lamb.
00:03:51.29\00:03:54.66
In a stable she's
holding the Lamb of God.
00:03:55.06\00:03:57.77
And so Mary is
saying: "Rest, tiny hands;
00:03:57.97\00:04:00.87
rest tiny heart;
rest tiny eyes. "
00:04:01.07\00:04:04.31
And so she goes
through all these items
00:04:04.47\00:04:06.88
basically singing a lullaby
to the precious Lamb of God.
00:04:07.08\00:04:10.25
It's that simple. All right.
00:04:10.45\00:04:11.95
Melody.
00:04:12.15\00:04:13.68
Beautiful!
00:10:05.23\00:10:06.90
I'm going to ask
Lanny to walk back up again.
00:10:08.67\00:10:11.11
We're getting ready to do
a song called It Was Love.
00:10:11.31\00:10:13.54
And you remember about a
year and a half or so ago
00:10:13.84\00:10:16.41
that we did a project called
Hallelujah! We're Home At Last!
00:10:16.61\00:10:19.78
And on that project
Yvonne and I wrote a song
00:10:20.18\00:10:23.52
and I said: "All of these
songs were on the second coming
00:10:23.92\00:10:27.36
but this is all on Calvary. "
00:10:27.56\00:10:30.23
So the second coming,
we decided to look from
00:10:30.43\00:10:33.23
heaven's perspective
what would be happening
00:10:33.43\00:10:36.36
instead of just
as humans looking up
00:10:36.56\00:10:39.20
what happens in
heaven. So when Jesus stands up
00:10:39.40\00:10:42.87
heaven is changed forevermore.
00:10:43.07\00:10:44.51
So in this project I
said: "We've got a lot of songs
00:10:44.71\00:10:47.14
about the cross
and Christ and Calvary,
00:10:47.34\00:10:49.71
but what about something
from heaven's perspective? "
00:10:50.01\00:10:53.05
So I began to talk to Lanny
and I said: "You know, I wonder:
00:10:53.25\00:10:57.12
did angels question God's master
plan when man fell from grace?
00:10:57.32\00:11:01.46
Could redemption be bought or
would the price be too great? "
00:11:01.76\00:11:04.99
Just kind of led
him into it from there.
00:11:05.19\00:11:07.06
He took it - and your daughter,
you might tell us about it -
00:11:07.46\00:11:10.97
and came up
with a finished song.
00:11:11.17\00:11:13.17
So I really can't
take much credit for this.
00:11:13.37\00:11:15.34
We give all credit to
God but in the fleshly sense
00:11:15.54\00:11:18.47
I'm honest, Lanny, that you and
your daughter wrote most of this
00:11:18.67\00:11:22.34
but thanks for letting
me have a little part in it.
00:11:22.54\00:11:24.81
Beautiful song! Thank
you, Danny. The important thing
00:11:25.01\00:11:28.15
in this song is that
Danny planted the seed
00:11:28.35\00:11:31.99
because without the
question "Did angels question? "
00:11:32.29\00:11:35.22
then the song...
the tree doesn't grow.
00:11:35.42\00:11:37.79
So Danny gave us the
seed, and then my daughter,
00:11:37.99\00:11:41.66
Lanna-Marie, who is
just a wonderful song writer,
00:11:41.86\00:11:44.00
and I took the seed
and watered the seed.
00:11:44.40\00:11:48.77
And basically from the
first two or three lines
00:11:48.97\00:11:51.77
we finished the song.
Basically, when this happens
00:11:51.97\00:11:54.51
the best way I co-write
is: "Give me what you have
00:11:54.71\00:11:57.58
and leave me alone.
" Get out of his way!
00:11:57.78\00:11:59.35
Get out of my way and
let me finish the song.
00:12:00.35\00:12:02.38
And... we came back together
on the song called It Was Love.
00:12:02.78\00:12:08.79
All right. Ladye Love,
can you help me with this?
00:12:09.19\00:12:12.63
Amen! Praise the
Lord! Thank you, Ladye.
00:17:24.94\00:17:28.84
The next song we're going to
do is entitled, we entitled it
00:17:30.35\00:17:33.78
Gethsemane.
00:17:33.98\00:17:35.32
And were were rushing
to get a lot of songs done
00:17:35.35\00:17:38.55
and try to write some new ones.
00:17:38.75\00:17:40.46
And the night before
we went down to Nashville
00:17:40.66\00:17:43.02
to track the songs I
was sitting with my guitar
00:17:43.22\00:17:46.49
and this little tune came to me.
00:17:46.70\00:17:49.00
And the words just seemed
like they just literally flowed.
00:17:49.20\00:17:52.53
And it said: "He
suffered Gethsemane
00:17:52.73\00:17:55.90
through blood,
sweat, and tears. "
00:17:56.30\00:17:58.81
And I said:
"Wow! That's strong! "
00:17:59.67\00:18:02.31
"Each drop of blood He
shed bought me a million years.
00:18:02.51\00:18:05.38
God's crowning sacrifice... "
00:18:06.08\00:18:08.28
I said: "Man, this
is not coming from me. "
00:18:08.48\00:18:11.79
Some of you are song
writers. You ever write a song
00:18:11.99\00:18:13.79
or maybe write
poems? I know you guys do.
00:18:13.99\00:18:16.22
Sometimes you know
when you really work at it
00:18:16.42\00:18:18.53
then other times when it seems
like God just throws it on you.
00:18:18.73\00:18:23.77
Says: "Here, take it... what
are you going to do with it? "
00:18:23.97\00:18:26.03
Well, I'm very limited as a
song writer and as a musician.
00:18:26.23\00:18:29.80
But I said: "Man,
that song is so powerful! "
00:18:30.01\00:18:32.44
"The spotless Lamb of God
who now is the great I AM. "
00:18:32.84\00:18:36.11
And I said: "That
is a powerful chorus. "
00:18:36.31\00:18:38.78
Reggie called me...
talking about, the next morning
00:18:38.98\00:18:41.08
and I sang it to him. I
had my guitar, and he said:
00:18:41.28\00:18:43.85
"Danny, you've got to
put that on the project. "
00:18:44.05\00:18:45.85
I said: "Reggie, I
don't have a chorus. "
00:18:46.05\00:18:47.66
"I don't have... I just
have the music to the chorus
00:18:47.86\00:18:50.36
and the words. I
don't have any verses. "
00:18:50.56\00:18:51.89
"Think about it; pray about it.
The Lord will give it to you. "
00:18:52.09\00:18:54.76
So I was talking
to my brother Kenny.
00:18:55.16\00:18:57.83
I said: "The Lord gave me
this. " He said: "Man, you've
00:18:58.03\00:19:01.70
got to do this! "
Talking to Yvonne Lewis later.
00:19:01.90\00:19:04.77
Next morning we
were going to Nashville
00:19:04.97\00:19:07.28
I talked to these
people and they said:
00:19:07.48\00:19:09.01
"I can't get that
song out of my mind.
00:19:09.21\00:19:10.75
You need to finish that
song and do it on the project. "
00:19:10.95\00:19:13.25
So I went to the airport to pick
up in Nashville Lanny Wolfe.
00:19:13.65\00:19:16.62
I said: "Lanny, the Lord
gave me this little chorus... "
00:19:16.82\00:19:18.95
And that's how you do if you
think somebody, without asking
00:19:19.15\00:19:22.56
them to co-write, a
guy like him, you don't
00:19:22.76\00:19:24.69
just ask him to
co-write so you try to be...
00:19:24.89\00:19:27.33
And he knew exactly
what I was doing, but I said:
00:19:27.53\00:19:29.33
"Lanny, the Lord gave
me this little chorus. "
00:19:29.53\00:19:32.47
And this is evening
by this time. We'd done
00:19:32.67\00:19:34.30
one day of tracking. And
the next morning we went to
00:19:34.50\00:19:37.84
breakfast. Lanny said:
"Danny, I can't get that song
00:19:38.04\00:19:40.48
out of my mind. You want me
to write the verses to it? "
00:19:40.68\00:19:43.38
I said: "Absolutely! "
00:19:43.58\00:19:44.98
So literally that evening
he put together - penned -
00:19:45.38\00:19:48.72
some of the most
beautiful words I've ever heard
00:19:48.92\00:19:51.55
to the song... the
first verse, the last verse.
00:19:51.75\00:19:54.06
And we asked Reggie to sing it.
00:19:54.26\00:19:56.16
It's absolutely...
I cry when I hear it.
00:19:56.36\00:19:58.63
I know it's not
me, it's not Lanny.
00:19:58.83\00:20:00.73
This: we do give
God the credit for this.
00:20:00.93\00:20:03.13
But Gethsemane... Reggie.
00:20:03.33\00:20:06.13
Thank you... thank you, Reggie.
00:26:04.56\00:26:07.30
Wow! Praise the Lord!
00:26:07.50\00:26:09.06
God is good, isn't He? Amen!
00:26:09.26\00:26:11.37
Did you see some of the pictures
behind to give a little...
00:26:11.57\00:26:15.60
Jesus. We can't imagine. It says
He sweat great drops of blood.
00:26:15.80\00:26:19.57
But each drop of blood
bought us a million years
00:26:20.74\00:26:23.14
and more. This love...
we'll never understand it.
00:26:23.35\00:26:26.98
About a year and a
half or two years ago
00:26:27.65\00:26:29.48
I had written... We were getting
ready to do another project
00:26:29.78\00:26:32.39
and I was down with
Lari Goss, a great friend
00:26:32.59\00:26:34.69
and wonderful wonderful
man. He's now resting in Jesus.
00:26:34.89\00:26:38.09
And I was at his place and I
said: "There's a song that... "
00:26:38.29\00:26:42.10
We needed one more song. I
said: "I just wrote a little,
00:26:42.30\00:26:44.33
a little song and it
says, I entitled it Calvary Says
00:26:44.53\00:26:48.20
Love To Me. And I played
it for him on the guitar.
00:26:48.40\00:26:51.07
He said: "Danny, we've got
to do this on the project. "
00:26:51.27\00:26:53.48
So as we come to this
project: songs on Calvary.
00:26:53.88\00:26:57.18
And that's what
Calvary says to us.
00:26:57.58\00:26:59.68
Think about it. It says love.
00:27:00.08\00:27:01.95
You know, the cross
of itself is nothing.
00:27:02.15\00:27:04.32
I can go out and make a cross.
00:27:04.52\00:27:06.02
We can do all kinds of things.
00:27:06.22\00:27:07.56
But Jesus shed
blood on that cross
00:27:07.66\00:27:09.72
is what changed the whole world.
00:27:09.92\00:27:11.56
When we think about it, we think
about the cross of Calvary.
00:27:12.43\00:27:15.46
We're going to have
Ladye Love come and sing
00:27:15.86\00:27:17.73
Calvary Says Love To Me.
00:27:17.93\00:27:20.20
Thank you. Beautiful!
00:31:52.07\00:31:55.08
Absolutely. You know,
what's amazing to me is
00:31:55.28\00:31:58.35
when God has...
Everybody has different gifts.
00:31:58.55\00:32:02.02
And I was sitting there
thinking about almost every note
00:32:02.32\00:32:05.15
that you heard of all those
instruments was in her mind
00:32:05.35\00:32:08.66
and Lari's mind. And then
you add people like Gordon
00:32:08.86\00:32:12.69
on there and Tim Parton,
then get these singers on here
00:32:12.89\00:32:17.00
and I don't think that God's
people have to take a back seat
00:32:17.20\00:32:20.30
to the world, do you? No!
00:32:20.50\00:32:21.84
And I'm so thankful that
each and every one of these folk
00:32:21.90\00:32:24.74
have chosen to use
their gifts and their talents
00:32:24.94\00:32:28.21
and abilities for God's work.
00:32:28.41\00:32:31.21
And tonight the question
would be: what about you?
00:32:31.81\00:32:34.15
What about me?
00:32:34.45\00:32:35.78
As we're here singing, and
I'm enjoying being able to sing
00:32:35.98\00:32:39.29
with such great
singers and musicians,
00:32:39.49\00:32:41.06
but most importantly is
what does Calvary mean to us?
00:32:41.26\00:32:44.46
What does Calvary say to us?
00:32:44.66\00:32:46.39
Does Calvary say love to us?
00:32:46.59\00:32:48.66
You see, without a relationship
with the Lord Jesus Christ
00:32:48.86\00:32:51.90
we're going nowhere.
00:32:52.10\00:32:53.44
Literally, there's
no life, there's no hope
00:32:53.60\00:32:56.74
without the shed blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ
00:32:56.94\00:32:59.97
on the cross of
Calvary. I'm so thankful that
00:33:00.18\00:33:03.14
He's a God of mercy.
00:33:03.35\00:33:04.68
That He's a God of patience.
00:33:04.91\00:33:06.65
That He doesn't mind taking
the clay and re-molding it
00:33:07.05\00:33:10.85
from time to time.
00:33:11.05\00:33:12.39
But He'll only do that if we
come to Him and confess our sins
00:33:12.42\00:33:16.26
"Lord, I'm a sinner. "
00:33:16.46\00:33:18.56
He says if we do that
He is faithful and just
00:33:18.96\00:33:21.60
to forgive us from our
sins and cleanse us from some
00:33:22.00\00:33:24.37
of our unrighteousness.
ALL! Oh, ya'll are still awake?
00:33:24.57\00:33:27.64
All right. All...
all unrighteousness.
00:33:27.84\00:33:31.01
Isn't that amazing?
00:33:31.21\00:33:32.54
That we as frail human agents
00:33:32.57\00:33:34.74
that God would even
not destroy all of us.
00:33:35.14\00:33:38.85
But He didn't. His love
for us is beyond comprehension.
00:33:39.45\00:33:44.69
So... as great a
writer as Lanny Wolfe is
00:33:44.89\00:33:47.09
when he gets to heaven he's
going to have to sit in the back
00:33:47.29\00:33:49.82
corner and say: "I thought I
was a pretty good song writer
00:33:50.03\00:33:52.43
but I didn't know half
the story. I didn't know
00:33:52.63\00:33:55.90
a tenth of the story.
" Because we won't know.
00:33:56.10\00:33:58.53
The Bible says: "Now we
see through a glass darkly
00:33:58.73\00:34:01.07
but then face to face. "
00:34:01.47\00:34:04.67
Isn't that wonderful?
00:34:05.07\00:34:06.41
I praise God for
His plan of salvation.
00:34:06.44\00:34:11.41
Amen! It's very simple.
00:34:11.61\00:34:13.48
Maybe the
greatest song ever written
00:34:13.68\00:34:16.25
Jesus loves me, this I know
00:34:16.45\00:34:19.12
for the Bible tells me so.
00:34:19.32\00:34:21.56
Right? Little
ones to Him belong,
00:34:21.96\00:34:23.73
they are weak but HE is strong.
00:34:23.93\00:34:26.59
Yes Jesus loves me;
00:34:26.80\00:34:28.66
yes Jesus loves me. Do
you love Jesus tonight?
00:34:28.86\00:34:31.30
Amen! I don't care
what your problem is
00:34:31.50\00:34:33.74
Jesus is coming
back for a purified bride
00:34:33.94\00:34:36.54
and a purified church.
00:34:36.74\00:34:38.07
And as I travel around I
see ya'll are just like me.
00:34:38.27\00:34:41.31
You've got a lot of
problems in your life.
00:34:41.51\00:34:43.18
Right? And I don't think
the reason Jesus is not here yet
00:34:43.58\00:34:47.12
is not because
we're waiting on Him.
00:34:47.32\00:34:49.42
He's waiting on us.
00:34:49.62\00:34:50.95
He's waiting on His
people to perfect His character
00:34:51.09\00:34:54.02
within our lives so
that He can come back
00:34:54.22\00:34:56.46
for a purified
bride... a purified church.
00:34:56.66\00:34:58.96
And when we get to that point
He says: "I, if I be lifted up
00:34:59.16\00:35:02.63
from this earth will
draw some folk to Me. "
00:35:02.83\00:35:05.27
All! You're
still awake; all right!
00:35:05.47\00:35:07.77
"Draw all men unto Me. "
00:35:07.97\00:35:10.44
So I'm so thankful
tonight to have this opportunity
00:35:10.64\00:35:14.21
to be here and minister music
00:35:14.61\00:35:18.11
that talks about
Jesus. Right? The cross...
00:35:18.31\00:35:21.48
the sanctuary. To give
the world a last-day message
00:35:21.68\00:35:25.69
because I believe we're living
in the end times, don't you?
00:35:25.89\00:35:28.29
Amen! We have present truth to
give to a lost and dying world.
00:35:28.49\00:35:32.03
If we don't do it, who will?
00:35:32.23\00:35:33.73
I don't want to stand
before Jesus and Him say
00:35:34.13\00:35:37.33
"Why didn't you do?
You had the truth, but you
00:35:37.53\00:35:39.43
didn't tell anybody. " I
was over in London the other day
00:35:39.63\00:35:43.84
and somebody there
said to me: "You know what?
00:35:44.04\00:35:46.37
This is not like
anywhere else in the world.
00:35:46.78\00:35:48.71
London is
impossible to reach people.
00:35:48.91\00:35:52.21
People don't want the truth;
they're not willing to change. "
00:35:52.61\00:35:56.05
And I said: "Well then
why didn't Jesus say in
00:35:56.25\00:35:58.29
Matthew 28:18-20 "Go ye into
all the world except London? "
00:35:58.49\00:36:02.22
See? He didn't say that, did He?
00:36:02.62\00:36:05.03
He said: "Go ye
into all the world. "
00:36:05.43\00:36:07.13
And I said: "I can
tell you for a fact
00:36:07.33\00:36:09.36
that people in
London are looking for truth
00:36:09.76\00:36:12.40
and they are looking for
a change. " There are 30,000
00:36:12.60\00:36:16.57
preachers throughout
the great city of London
00:36:16.97\00:36:19.77
but there are over
80,000 registered witches.
00:36:19.97\00:36:22.54
There is every kind of cult
you can think of: the New Age.
00:36:23.48\00:36:26.68
There's all kinds of
false religions who do not
00:36:26.88\00:36:30.42
give honor and glory to the
Lord Jesus Christ and to God
00:36:30.62\00:36:33.82
and they're
growing by the millions.
00:36:34.22\00:36:36.19
The reason I believe
they're not accepting truth -
00:36:36.59\00:36:40.03
not only London... here:
West Frankfort, Illinois,
00:36:40.23\00:36:42.63
whether you're from
Alabama, Tennessee, Africa...
00:36:42.83\00:36:45.03
I don't care where you're from -
00:36:45.23\00:36:46.57
is because we have been
ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
00:36:46.60\00:36:48.97
We should be so
excited that everybody we see
00:36:49.27\00:36:52.87
we want to tell them about our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:36:53.07\00:36:55.91
Am I right? Amen! I'm
starting to get excited
00:36:56.11\00:36:59.28
so I'm not a preacher.
Not a son of a preacher.
00:36:59.48\00:37:01.65
I'm going to back up, but
we're going to sing a little bit
00:37:01.85\00:37:04.09
about heaven right now.
00:37:04.29\00:37:05.62
Heaven came down
and what happened?
00:37:05.79\00:37:07.46
Glory filled
our soul. All right.
00:37:07.66\00:37:09.29
Quartet? OK. All right.
00:37:09.49\00:37:12.96
I'll try. I don't
have much voice left
00:37:13.16\00:37:15.03
but we'll do it.
00:37:15.23\00:37:16.97
Amen! Yeah! Amen!
00:40:38.33\00:40:40.67
Thank you. Thank
you guys. Beautiful!
00:40:40.87\00:40:44.04
I want to say a
word about Reggie Smith.
00:40:45.34\00:40:48.04
Reggie... I called Reggie
to say: "Reggie, would you
00:40:48.24\00:40:51.11
produce this project?
" If you don't know what
00:40:51.31\00:40:53.62
a producer does
you can ask Ladye Love.
00:40:53.82\00:40:56.45
He spends... If you have
a studio - a music studio
00:40:56.65\00:41:00.92
in your attic - they
call it their attic -
00:41:01.12\00:41:03.36
a nice little
upstairs. But if you have one,
00:41:03.56\00:41:06.06
you spend about
several months in the studio
00:41:06.26\00:41:09.10
so she and Bret didn't
get to see him very much
00:41:09.30\00:41:12.07
unless they went
upstairs in the studio.
00:41:12.27\00:41:14.34
But Reggie literally pro-
duced, put everything together.
00:41:14.54\00:41:17.27
Worked with Kris, Gordon...
Larry... everybody together
00:41:17.47\00:41:22.61
and with the choir...
putting all the choir.
00:41:22.81\00:41:24.75
Arranging. He
literally arranged all the parts
00:41:24.95\00:41:27.42
that we're doing. So
Reggie, thank you so much
00:41:27.62\00:41:30.82
for the literally
hundreds of hours and months
00:41:31.02\00:41:33.42
that you have put
into this project.
00:41:33.62\00:41:36.19
Our next song is
Precious Blood. Lanny,
00:41:38.79\00:41:41.26
come and tell us about
this. You wrote this song.
00:41:41.46\00:41:43.93
Paul talks about a
thorn in his flesh.
00:41:45.13\00:41:48.34
Well for many years of
my life a thorn in my flesh
00:41:48.74\00:41:51.07
was cellulitis. Some
of you know what that is?
00:41:51.27\00:41:54.01
I don't know what it is;
I just know I would get it.
00:41:54.41\00:41:56.81
And when I would get it,
it would, my ankle would hurt
00:41:57.21\00:42:01.02
and it would get red, and I
couldn't even walk to the car
00:42:01.22\00:42:03.99
to go to the hospital. And
then I'd be in the hospital
00:42:04.19\00:42:06.39
for a week and pay
$10,000 and come home...
00:42:06.59\00:42:09.32
and then work to pay
off the hospital bill.
00:42:09.72\00:42:11.26
So that's what cellulitis was.
00:42:11.46\00:42:12.83
I was on a chorale tour.
We were in Cincinnati, Ohio.
00:42:13.03\00:42:16.36
I would never know when
this was going to happen.
00:42:16.56\00:42:18.17
It just happened.
And so were were there
00:42:18.37\00:42:20.67
and it happened in the middle of
a service. I had 50 young people
00:42:20.87\00:42:24.44
on a chorale tour, and I
thought: "God, I don't know
00:42:24.64\00:42:27.28
if I can make it
through this service.
00:42:27.48\00:42:28.81
Help me get through this
service. " So at the end of the
00:42:28.84\00:42:30.95
service I turned the chorale...
we had more tour dates...
00:42:31.15\00:42:33.35
so I turned it over to
somebody to go on with the choir
00:42:33.55\00:42:37.09
to the next city. I said:
"Take me to the emergency room "
00:42:37.29\00:42:39.79
and they did. And so they put me
in a room and they started doing
00:42:39.99\00:42:45.69
all the stuff they do.
And the first thing they do
00:42:45.89\00:42:48.20
is take your blood. Well,
I've had my blood taken many
00:42:48.40\00:42:51.70
times. You have, too.
But it was what I call
00:42:51.90\00:42:55.17
as a song writer
"the moment of truth. "
00:42:55.37\00:42:57.74
It was THIS time, when
they were taking my blood,
00:42:59.07\00:43:02.98
Bro. Murray...
THIS TIME I got it.
00:43:03.38\00:43:08.15
Without blood, none of
the rest of this works.
00:43:09.62\00:43:12.49
All right. It doesn't matter
how beautiful your body is.
00:43:12.89\00:43:15.72
It doesn't matter how
much money you've got.
00:43:16.12\00:43:18.16
If the blood is not
there, nothing's there.
00:43:18.36\00:43:21.46
And so at that moment of truth
00:43:21.96\00:43:23.97
God impressed me
that for hundreds of years
00:43:24.17\00:43:27.60
lambs were brought to
offer for sacrifice for sins.
00:43:27.80\00:43:32.77
But Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God - Amen! -
00:43:33.17\00:43:36.44
All right - He went to the
cross and He said - come on:
00:43:36.95\00:43:40.55
"I will go and I will
shed once and for all. "
00:43:40.75\00:43:44.29
All right. "You don't
need to bring any more lambs.
00:43:44.49\00:43:47.06
I am The Lamb... I am the
Lamb of God. " That's right!
00:43:47.26\00:43:50.29
Once and for all He
drank the bitter cup
00:43:50.53\00:43:53.56
and He took the stripes
on His back for our healing.
00:43:53.76\00:43:57.97
And so Jesus Christ
heals. He heals today!
00:43:58.70\00:44:02.50
You need to be
healed? He took the stripes
00:44:02.90\00:44:05.87
on His back so
we could be healed.
00:44:06.07\00:44:08.04
And so this song
came in a hospital room
00:44:08.34\00:44:11.28
in Cincinnati,
Ohio: Precious Blood.
00:44:11.48\00:44:13.98
Melody.
00:44:14.18\00:44:15.88
Amen! Amen! Praise the Lord!
00:48:30.21\00:48:34.11
Wow! I don't know about you all
but I'm getting those great big
00:48:40.08\00:48:42.98
old chill bumps all over
me. I'm going to call them
00:48:43.18\00:48:45.69
Holy Spirit bumps, all
right? 'Cause it's sure not cold
00:48:45.89\00:48:49.02
in here. But I feel the
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
00:48:49.22\00:48:52.29
Is anybody with
me on this tonight?
00:48:52.49\00:48:54.63
Because we're singing about the
only thing that really matters
00:48:55.03\00:48:58.50
in life, right? 'Cause
life itself... the Life Giver.
00:48:58.70\00:49:02.60
We're bringing honor and
glory and praise to Him tonight.
00:49:02.80\00:49:07.18
Reggie. We were at
your house visiting...
00:49:07.81\00:49:10.38
Reggie went to the piano and
said: "I think I've got a song.
00:49:10.58\00:49:15.18
that might work
on the project. "
00:49:15.38\00:49:17.19
And it worked. A
beautiful song. Tell us
00:49:18.65\00:49:20.72
about this song.
Well, this is an old hymn
00:49:20.92\00:49:22.96
and... just a
different arrangement. With
00:49:24.09\00:49:25.99
a different arrangement...
a little twist to it.
00:49:26.19\00:49:27.86
At The Cross. You
know that hymn, right?
00:49:28.06\00:49:30.60
And I didn't know if it would,
you know, fit for the project.
00:49:31.00\00:49:33.80
You know you want to tie
everything together nicely.
00:49:34.00\00:49:36.20
And I was a little scared
to play it for Danny, honestly.
00:49:36.40\00:49:38.97
I was a little nervous but I
said: "Well I was just working
00:49:39.47\00:49:41.44
on this little hymn. "
And Yvonne was sitting there.
00:49:41.64\00:49:43.75
So I started playing along
00:49:44.15\00:49:46.25
and Yvonne said: "Um-hmm... yes.
00:49:46.45\00:49:48.85
Yes, yes, yes... it's in! "
00:49:49.05\00:49:53.19
So that made the cut. So
it's a beautiful, beautiful...
00:49:54.59\00:49:57.56
old lyric but a good
song. So... thank you.
00:49:57.76\00:50:00.20
All right. I'm going to
ask Lanny Wolfe and Melody
00:54:32.40\00:54:35.04
to come up. I have to
tell you a really short story.
00:54:35.44\00:54:39.84
I don't have much voice left
00:54:40.24\00:54:42.58
but I've got
enough to tell THIS story.
00:54:42.78\00:54:44.18
I mean, we've gotta talk about
something tonight, right? OK.
00:54:45.55\00:54:49.15
Another idea came to me.
I'm going to let you do this.
00:54:49.55\00:54:52.12
No, no, no. Another
idea came to me about a song
00:54:52.32\00:54:55.69
and I said... Started
talking about it. I told Lanny,
00:54:56.09\00:54:59.69
I said: "I've got this, I think
it's a great idea for a song! "
00:54:59.89\00:55:02.90
He said: "Danny, that's a
baby that needs to be birthed...
00:55:03.40\00:55:06.33
needs to be born. "
00:55:06.74\00:55:08.07
Hung the worlds in space...
I said: "Hung the worlds in
00:55:08.20\00:55:10.34
space was the One who hung
on the cross in our place. "
00:55:10.54\00:55:13.21
Now... That hit me:
that's powerful. I said:
00:55:13.41\00:55:15.74
"Now what if we could write,
Joy, what if we could write
00:55:15.94\00:55:18.25
all the parallels like that? "
00:55:18.45\00:55:20.42
Something from heaven to earth.
00:55:20.82\00:55:22.52
Lanny said: "Oh...
that's wonderful! "
00:55:22.72\00:55:24.42
So we told Melody about it.
Melody came up with the first
00:55:24.82\00:55:27.66
line or two and then
Lanny came up with some more.
00:55:27.86\00:55:31.66
Pretty soon I saw the three-way
e- mails were going to two-way
00:55:31.86\00:55:36.06
e- mails... and
my name was left out.
00:55:36.26\00:55:38.67
My name was left out.
00:55:40.80\00:55:42.37
And I said: "Now wait a
minute! I thought I had the baby
00:55:42.57\00:55:45.11
that was supposed to be born. "
00:55:45.31\00:55:46.64
And so now all of a
sudden things got very quiet.
00:55:46.88\00:55:50.58
You know what that's like?
Like, I'd look at my e-mail:
00:55:50.98\00:55:53.58
"Now surely they'll...
No... nothing here today. "
00:55:53.78\00:55:56.52
So anyway, but I'm really glad.
00:55:57.02\00:55:59.75
I'm really glad. I love
teasing Melody about this.
00:55:59.95\00:56:02.22
Now you know Lanny's in charge.
00:56:02.42\00:56:04.23
So blame Lanny? Hear what he
says... Now wait just a minute!
00:56:04.43\00:56:08.63
God woke me up in
the middle of the night
00:56:08.83\00:56:10.73
with a chorus that was in
an Easter musical... my first
00:56:11.13\00:56:15.64
Easter musical...
called Love Found A Way.
00:56:15.84\00:56:18.31
And I thought it was a chorus
because at the time it was.
00:56:18.51\00:56:21.74
It had 3 lines and then
it repeated the third line.
00:56:22.14\00:56:25.65
It really wasn't a
full- fledged "legit" chorus.
00:56:26.05\00:56:28.78
God woke me up in
the middle of the night
00:56:29.18\00:56:31.22
and reminded me that
it wasn't a real chorus...
00:56:31.42\00:56:34.06
to make it a chorus. So
I called Danny and Melody
00:56:34.26\00:56:37.16
and I said: "I've got
the glue for this song. "
00:56:37.56\00:56:41.96
And that was the moment
when your line almost went dead.
00:56:42.36\00:56:45.40
When he said
"Danny... you're out. "
00:56:45.60\00:56:47.47
But what I'm going to try
to do is sing on it anyway.
00:56:49.50\00:56:52.11
Right? I was a part
of it. But honestly,
00:56:52.31\00:56:54.88
it is such a
beautiful song and Lanny said:
00:56:55.08\00:56:58.31
"It'll just be
birthed at another time. "
00:56:58.51\00:57:00.18
The idea that I had. So
I'm going to hold you to that,
00:57:00.38\00:57:02.75
OK? But thank you,
Melody, for your support in this
00:57:02.95\00:57:06.09
and the words that you gave -
thank you - and working together
00:57:06.29\00:57:08.26
with Lanny. Beautiful song,
and we're actually entitling
00:57:08.46\00:57:11.66
this whole project
Calvary: Love Found A Way.
00:57:11.86\00:57:15.60
Amen!
01:01:56.98\01:01:58.65
Love found a
way. Aren't you glad?
01:02:03.92\01:02:05.32
Amen! I'm thankful. Without
that there's nothing, folks.
01:02:05.35\01:02:08.79
Love found a way. Melody,
Lanny, thank you so much.
01:02:08.82\01:02:12.76
We're going to have
Reggie and Ladye come up.
01:02:12.79\01:02:14.90
Another beautiful song. This
was written by? Dottie Rambo.
01:02:14.93\01:02:18.73
Dottie Rambo. The
wonderful Dottie Rambo, yes.
01:02:18.80\01:02:20.70
Beautiful song. Ladye Love,
you going to sing with him?
01:02:20.74\01:02:25.07
I Will Glory In The
Cross is the name of this one.
01:02:25.27\01:02:27.58
And Danny you know, when
we... to do the arrangement and
01:02:27.61\01:02:30.45
we all got together in
Kris's room and we started
01:02:30.48\01:02:33.62
trying to figure out how...
It was fun. Oh, you kidding me?
01:02:33.65\01:02:36.89
She's
magnificent, she's amazing.
01:02:36.92\01:02:38.39
And when you called me,
Danny, to produce this thing
01:02:38.42\01:02:40.96
you didn't tell... I
told everybody no twice.
01:02:41.02\01:02:43.16
I told you no twice. You
did! Because our dear friend
01:02:43.19\01:02:46.90
and the most wonderful
producer that we ever knew
01:02:46.93\01:02:49.90
was Lari Goss. He
produced our last Hallelujah!
01:02:49.93\01:02:52.90
And so there was just no way -
01:02:52.93\01:02:55.47
me - I could follow
up anything like that.
01:02:55.50\01:02:58.11
Are you kidding
me? Really? Lari Goss?
01:02:58.14\01:03:00.71
But you know what? I said:
"If we can build a great team -
01:03:00.74\01:03:04.55
a great team - then we can
get through this. " Absolutely!
01:03:04.58\01:03:06.18
Of course we started with
the magnificent orchestrator
01:03:06.38\01:03:09.58
over there, and then
Larry obviously was there too
01:03:09.78\01:03:12.65
helping write some, and then
great musicians and everything.
01:03:12.85\01:03:15.69
And you know, we got to
thinking about this song.
01:03:16.09\01:03:17.53
We said: "How do we treat
this because it's been recorded
01:03:17.73\01:03:19.49
many many times? "
Larnelle Harris did a wonderful
01:03:19.69\01:03:21.56
arrangement of this song...
an incredible arrangement.
01:03:21.76\01:03:23.53
And we started thinking: "How
would... " I started thinking:
01:03:24.70\01:03:27.14
"How would maybe Miss
Dottie have written this song? "
01:03:27.44\01:03:30.71
And she... I think she's
from Kentucky originally.
01:03:31.31\01:03:33.94
Is that right? Kentucky.
So she was a country girl
01:03:34.14\01:03:36.95
I think, and she
played a guitar...
01:03:37.15\01:03:39.45
just kind of
simple chords guitar.
01:03:39.65\01:03:41.42
And I don't think she would
have played all these fancy
01:03:41.62\01:03:43.69
chords all over
the world, you know.
01:03:43.89\01:03:45.62
She'd have played just
straight... straight ahead.
01:03:45.82\01:03:47.99
And so we kind of put a
Celtic - OK - feeling to it.
01:03:48.19\01:03:51.06
Celtic-Kentucky
feeling to it. OK.
01:03:51.26\01:03:53.19
So that's what we came
to. Yeah, that's right.
01:03:53.63\01:03:57.27
Beautiful! I will
glory in the cross.
01:08:46.39\01:08:49.69
I also want to thank E.T.
Everett sitting down front
01:08:50.09\01:08:52.63
right here. Amen! Amen!
Some of the folks, you might not
01:08:52.83\01:08:55.16
be able see her on camera too
much but what an incredible job!
01:08:55.36\01:08:59.03
She's our sound center
manager. Incredible musician.
01:08:59.23\01:09:02.20
Literally arranger, singer; and
she's worked countless hours.
01:09:03.71\01:09:07.68
Bobby Bradley... chief
engineer, sound engineer.
01:09:07.88\01:09:11.31
Incredible. He is
always behind the scenes.
01:09:11.51\01:09:13.75
And our whole 3ABN crew
here for what they're doing...
01:09:14.15\01:09:16.95
it's so neat. In fact, I
can say after thirty-one years
01:09:17.15\01:09:20.26
it's fun working
together. Isn't it, ET?
01:09:20.46\01:09:23.46
It's still fun after all
these years when you literally
01:09:23.66\01:09:26.59
know that you're doing some-
thing for the Lord Jesus Christ
01:09:27.00\01:09:30.30
and you're able to do it with
folk who have the same likes...
01:09:30.50\01:09:33.34
the same desires and
same mission and motives
01:09:33.54\01:09:38.04
that you do, and that's to ful-
fill the great Gospel Commission
01:09:38.24\01:09:41.74
"Go ye into all the world. "
01:09:42.14\01:09:43.61
Tell the people
about the Lord Jesus Christ
01:09:43.81\01:09:46.08
and Him crucified...
giving present truth
01:09:46.28\01:09:49.12
to a lost and dying world.
01:09:49.32\01:09:50.65
Now we're going to do a medley.
01:09:51.05\01:09:52.55
I think Reggie's going to
go down now and direct, right?
01:09:52.75\01:09:55.12
Help direct. So
we're going to do...
01:09:55.32\01:09:57.23
Thank you, E.T. You've
been doing a great job...
01:09:57.63\01:09:59.26
for all that you do. Now
we're going to do a hymn medley.
01:09:59.46\01:10:02.13
When you know it, some
of the songs you hear it,
01:10:02.33\01:10:04.27
give us a little bit.
C.A. is going to come out
01:10:04.53\01:10:06.74
and John and then
maybe on some of the choruses
01:10:06.94\01:10:08.87
you join with us.
01:10:09.07\01:10:10.84
You know what? You all
sound really good out there.
01:16:01.59\01:16:04.06
Thank you for
singing. It's really nice
01:16:05.09\01:16:07.16
when we sing to hear you
all singing back on songs
01:16:07.36\01:16:10.13
that you know. The
next song is a song that
01:16:10.33\01:16:13.20
Reggie and Ladye and
maybe Marty... I'm not sure
01:16:13.40\01:16:17.01
who all wrote on
this song. But come up and
01:16:17.21\01:16:20.04
tell us about it
and sing it for us.
01:16:20.24\01:16:22.54
It's entitled I'll Never Know.
01:16:22.94\01:16:24.81
Danny, I think we're just
going to sing it and let it
01:16:28.42\01:16:30.45
speak for itself. All right.
01:16:30.65\01:16:32.52
But Marty did a great
job, right? But Marty, honestly
01:16:33.36\01:16:35.96
wrote some music, and I had
a kind of a hook in my mind.
01:16:36.16\01:16:40.30
You know the hook? You've got
to come up with the hook, right,
01:16:40.50\01:16:42.36
for the song? Had
written the music and I just
01:16:42.56\01:16:45.00
was not pleased at all with what
was going on with the lyric.
01:16:45.20\01:16:48.34
I was just not pleased
with it. As a matter of fact,
01:16:48.64\01:16:50.11
the only reason it got
brought back was because Danny
01:16:50.51\01:16:53.04
brought it back because I had
already thrown it on the cutting
01:16:53.24\01:16:54.91
floor. It wasn't
going to make the cut.
01:16:55.11\01:16:56.48
But anyway... And
then Marty is amazing
01:16:56.88\01:16:58.85
and so he wrote a great
lyric to it. So... here we are.
01:16:59.05\01:17:03.69
Amen! Thank you!
Beautiful! Beautiful!
01:20:29.22\01:20:32.56
Our last song on this
project... we saved it
01:20:35.83\01:20:40.04
last for a reason.
01:20:40.44\01:20:42.87
It's probably one of
the most worshipful songs.
01:20:43.27\01:20:46.14
When you listen to
it you can't hardly help
01:20:46.34\01:20:49.08
but get in the spirit of
worship of our Creator God.
01:20:49.28\01:20:52.31
Lanny wrote it, and I
can actually say this without
01:20:52.51\01:20:55.48
trying to be too funny... but
he co-wrote it with Beethoven,
01:20:55.68\01:20:58.25
wasn't it? In other words he
borrowed - we'll use the word
01:20:58.45\01:21:02.89
borrowed - some
of Beethoven's music
01:21:03.09\01:21:05.73
and added his own Lanny Wolfe.
01:21:06.13\01:21:08.53
But what an incredible
song! And we were able to get
01:21:08.73\01:21:11.83
the Aeolians from
Oakwood University
01:21:12.03\01:21:14.27
so you'll hear them
singing with the choir here.
01:21:14.47\01:21:17.17
Absolutely
incredible young people.
01:21:17.37\01:21:19.81
Love Jesus... talent
that's off the charts.
01:21:20.01\01:21:22.81
And we're so thankful for them
01:21:23.21\01:21:25.01
and their leadership in
being able to come to the studio
01:21:25.21\01:21:28.48
and help Yvonne Lewis.
Yvonne's going to be singing
01:21:28.68\01:21:31.25
the lead part. Absolutely
beautiful song! Thank you, Lanny
01:21:31.45\01:21:34.49
for this song, and
Praise His Holy Name.
01:21:34.69\01:21:38.26
