00:14 Welcome to 3ABN's Spring Camp Meeting 2017:
00:25 Hello and welcome to our 3ABN Camp Meeting! 00:28 And we are so glad you joined us here at 3ABN studios 00:32 and in our worship center but also around the world. 00:35 Welcome! You know what I love about this? 00:38 She had no idea three seconds before this... 00:42 the intro went off I said: "You bring us in. " 00:44 And she's OK... Oh... OK! " 00:47 You did great. My daddy taught me to be a minuteman for Jesus. 00:51 You're a minutewoman for Jesus and you did great. 00:54 All right. Love you, mom and dad! 00:56 All right. We're thankful for all of you that are here tonight 00:59 and for those of you watching around the world. 01:01 How many of you have been blessed so far at Camp Meeting? 01:03 Amen! All right! Praise the Lord! 01:07 I've had a wonderful time. 01:08 I forgot I was supposed to take this out. 01:10 It'll be done in a few minutes; it's a cough drop. 01:13 So I'll pass the mic here a few moments, and then it'll be... 01:17 it'll disappear and be gone. 01:18 But we have had a wonderful time and I just praise the Lord 01:22 for each and every one of you and all of our viewers. 01:25 I'm thankful we have Dwight... Dwight Hall. 01:28 How many know Dwight with Remnant Publications? 01:31 All right. A lot of folk do. 01:33 And Dwight, you print literally millions of books. 01:37 That's correct, Danny... and not just ANY book 01:40 but books that fit the Remnant program and the footprint. 01:44 And one is a book that I think you want to share a little bit 01:48 tonight that it's starting out with a blessing of God. 01:52 I guess that's the most I can say. Amen. 01:54 Well Dwight printed at Remnant Publications the new book 01:58 Spiritual Vigilantes, and you've printed 150,000. I think you're 02:03 doing another 150,000. That's right. 02:06 And it looks like maybe you're going to be printing some more, 02:08 right? Yeah, it looks like we're going to print some more. 02:10 And you know... how this all works, just like 02:13 you asked Brenda to open this thing. Well, I get a call about 02:17 two weeks before this starts. And we got this book 02:20 and we promised Danny 10,000. Yes. 02:23 That's what we promised. Um-hmm. 02:25 But Danny... anyone who knows Danny, he's kind of relentless. 02:29 Nicely relentless. 02:31 So we brought down... We thought he'd be happy... 02:35 We brought about 19,000 down in the first load. 02:38 We brought it down ourselves: 19,000. 02:40 And I get a text midnight my time, 02:43 eleven o'clock here. And Danny texts me and says: 02:45 "Dwight, you'll never believe this but we're out of books! 02:47 Do we have any more? " 02:49 So we had our staff which - If they're watching - they did 02:53 a tremendous job! And we got another 25,000 today. 02:58 And I watched them unload those books and was thanking the Lord. 03:01 A lot of things happened - almost didn't get them - 03:03 but the Lord took care of that, we got them. 03:05 But... we're out again! 03:08 There were, yeah, 21,000 pre-orders. 03:11 When they got here there were just a few thousand left. 03:13 So for those of you that want the books 03:16 we'll be happy to make sure that you get some. 03:18 You may not get them here at Camp Meeting. 03:20 Those of you can order them here at 3ABN. 03:23 Brenda, you read the book. I did! In fact, I was just 03:25 going to say for the viewers that this is the first time 03:28 they're hearing about the book. Can you hold it up there, 03:32 Dwight? And so they get a good shot of that. 03:34 But I really want to tell you first of all that I admire you. 03:38 It took a lot of... Can I say that word? It took a lot of guts 03:41 to write this book. Can I say that on the air? 03:44 But really it did. Because I believe with all of my heart 03:46 we're living in the last days. Amen! And this is a book 03:50 that we need... As Christians we need this book 03:52 around the world. It doesn't matter. Anywhere... I travel 03:54 around the world all the time 03:57 and it doesn't matter what country I am in 03:58 I see where people are really trying to destroy God's law. 04:03 Governments are trying to destroy God's law. 04:06 Civic organizations. Even church leaders 04:09 are trying to destroy God's law. 04:11 God says: "If you love Me, keep My commandments. " 04:13 He doesn't say "just keep nine of them. " 04:16 Doesn't say "just keep eight of them or six of them. " 04:18 He says: "Keep My commandments. " 04:20 And the reason why - which you point out in this SO WELL! 04:24 You tackle some really tough subjects that most people 04:27 wouldn't because it's not politically correct to do so. 04:30 Most people would not tackle the subjects that he's tackling. 04:34 And I've gotta say I've got a lot of respect for you 04:36 for doing that. Because in this book 04:38 you are exposing what's happening and the reason 04:43 why it's happening. And the reason which you spell out 04:45 so clearly is because we as Christians 04:48 are not standing up for truth. 04:50 We are not really standing up for God's law. 04:54 By our silence we're condoning it. 04:56 And so you call upon all Christians to stand up 05:00 and be heard. And in fact there's a Bible text 05:03 that I'd like to in Mark... I think that it's 8:38, 05:08 put on the screen: 05:22 Amen! If that doesn't say it all right there... 05:25 You know, God says if we're going to be ashamed of Him 05:28 He's going to be ashamed of us. 05:30 And so I think this book calls for all Christians 05:34 to stand up for truth. We praise the Lord! And so 05:38 I feel like sometimes when you're in ministry and you see 05:42 and meet so many thousands of people 05:44 and leaders in the church and people outside the church 05:49 there's such needs. And so we just prayed and the Lord 05:52 helped us. I'll take credit for anything bad in it 05:55 but the good things - anything good - as Pastor Wintley said 05:59 yesterday - all comes from God, doesn't it? 06:01 Amen! So it's good. Anyway we only have a minute or two. 06:04 Pastor John, you did a wedding. And Yovnne and I, we got 06:07 to attend it today with some friends. Yes! Yes! 06:10 And it was on the spur... kind of a quick thing. 06:13 But some folk that play basketball were here. 06:16 We reach out to our community on a weekly basis. 06:19 A lot of guys that are not members of our church come 06:21 to the 3ABN gym/school and play basketball with us. 06:24 And we encourage them to do the right thing. 06:27 And today we are able to marry a young man and his wife, 06:31 a young man and his girlfriend. Now they're husband and wife. 06:33 And we said: "If you really want to be blessed, 06:35 you have to make this thing right before the Lord. " 06:37 And I said: "I'm not just marrying you but I want to be 06:39 your pastor, too. " So they said: "That's all right. 06:42 We need a pastor for our children and raise them. " 06:44 So praise the Lord! When we... On a weekly basis 06:47 you know, there are some people that have all these issues about 06:49 competition. We go out for exercise. 06:52 Same group of guys every week. 06:53 But we go to minister to them. Um-hmm. 06:55 And this has been a journey for them over the last few years. 06:58 We were there in the traumas of their life. They almost got 07:00 killed in a terrible car accident. We were there 07:03 by their bedside and their homes. 07:05 And so we were building a relationship. And praise God 07:07 today it came to fruition. 07:09 And now there is so much more ahead of them 07:11 if we continue to allow God to use us. 07:13 Thank the Lord. Absolutely! Yvonne? 07:15 You're having a good time at Camp Meeting? I am! 07:17 I'm always so excited when Camp Meeting comes 07:20 because I get to meet all of you. 07:22 Get to sing with everybody; get to have my spirit watered. 07:28 So it is such a blessing to be here. 07:30 All right. Dr. Murray? 07:32 We talk about a foretaste of heaven! 07:35 And what a wonderful place heaven is going to be. 07:38 Red and yellow, black and white: 07:41 all are precious in His sight. Amen! 07:44 And we get to meet our friends and it's just a wonderful 07:46 wonderful experience together. Let's change our song 07:48 for tonight. Jesus loves the little children, 07:51 all the children of the world. Do you know that? 07:52 That's a good one, C.A. 07:56 Ya'll know it? Amen! We want you to sing it with us, right? 08:02 Jesus loves the little children, 08:06 all the children of the world! 08:10 Red and yellow, black and white: 08:13 all are precious in His sight! 08:15 Jesus loves the little children of the world. 08:19 Let's go with Jesus Loves Me. You want to do that? 08:23 Do about C... hit a C chord? 08:25 Jesus loves me, this I know. 08:31 For the Bible tells me so. 08:36 Little ones to Him belong... 08:42 they are weak but He is strong. 08:47 Yes, Jesus loves me. 08:53 Yes, Jesus loves me. 08:58 Yes, Jesus loves me... 09:03 the Bible tells me so! 09:10 Amen! Praise the Lord! Thank you all so much. 09:13 It's really my privilege right now that we're going 09:16 to be able to introduce to you tonight 09:20 Lanny Wolfe and the Lanny Wolfe Trio. 09:23 They're an incredible group. Tim, you've known Lanny Wolfe 09:26 and the Trio and you've sung many, many of his songs, 09:29 haven't you? And a lot of you have sung his songs 09:32 and probably never knew it... but songs like: 09:35 Surely the Presence of the Lord is in This Place. 09:37 Anybody ever hear of that? 09:39 And how many of you have sung that song before? 09:42 Look at all the hands goin' up. 09:43 Whatever it Takes for my Will to Break... 09:45 More than Wonderful. Sandi Patty and Larnelle Harris 09:48 some years ago. All of these songs - 09:50 hundreds of songs - Lanny has literally penned 09:53 I think over 700 songs. 09:55 And it's such a privilege tonight that we've got 09:59 Lanny and Dave and Marietta, the Lanny Wolfe Trio, 10:02 that's going to be here to minister to us for a bit. 10:05 And then I think we're going to come out and help them 10:07 on a couple of songs. But Lanny, we want you to come out. 10:10 And God bless you. Let's give him a big Amen 10:14 and the trio. Lanny and Marietta, we love you guys. 10:17 All right... thank you. 10:20 All right... thank you so much. 10:28 Look at somebody and smile. 10:37 It feels so good 10:40 just bein' here again! 10:44 It feels so good 10:47 feelin' what I feel again. 10:51 There's just nothin' I like better 10:55 than God's children gettin' together... 10:58 It feels so good 11:00 just bein' here again. 11:05 It feels so good 11:07 just bein' here again! 11:11 It feels so good 11:13 feelin' what I feel again. 11:18 There's just nothin' I like better 11:21 than God's children gettin' together... 11:25 It feels so good 11:27 just bein' here again. 11:31 Oh what peace! 11:35 Oh what joy! 11:38 Oh what irreplaceable comfort I enjoy! 11:44 When God's children get together 11:48 and sing praises to the King 11:51 This feeling I just wouldn't trade 11:54 for anything. 11:57 It feels so good 11:59 just bein' here again! 12:03 It feels so good 12:06 feelin' what I feel again. 12:10 There's just nothin' I like better 12:14 than God's children gettin' together... 12:17 It feels so good 12:19 just bein' here again! 12:23 La-la-la-la 12:26 la-la-la-la-la-la! Everybody feelin' good in here? 12:30 La-la-la-la 12:32 la-la-la-la-la-la-la. 12:36 Oh, there's just nothin' I like better 12:40 than God's children gettin' together... 12:43 It feels so good 12:45 just bein' here again! 12:50 And it does! 12:58 Feels good to be with all ya'll, too! 13:06 I keep falling in love with Him 13:10 over and over and over and over again. 13:15 I keep falling in love with Him 13:18 over and over and over and over again. 13:24 He gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by, 13:28 oh what a love between my Lord and I 13:32 just keep falling in love with Him 13:34 over and over and over and over again. 13:40 When I first fell in love with Jesus, 13:44 I gave Him all my heart 13:48 and I thought I couldn't love Him more 13:52 than I did right at the start. 13:55 But now I look back over the mountains 13:59 and the valleys where we've been 14:03 and it makes me know I love Him so 14:07 much more than I did then. 14:10 And I keep falling in love with Him 14:13 over and over and over and over again. 14:18 I keep falling in love with Him 14:21 over and over and over and over again. 14:26 He gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by, 14:31 oh what a love between my Lord and I 14:34 just keep falling in love with Him 14:37 over and over and over and over again. 14:42 There's a hand that I hold onto 14:46 through each valley and each trial. 14:50 There's a shoulder that I lean upon 14:53 as I face another mile. 14:57 And there's a love that I can depend on. 15:01 It's fresh and new each day! 15:04 And with love my heart is overflowing... 15:09 that is why I say: 15:11 Hold! Ladies, we're not talking about saying this to your 15:15 husband. This is about us talking to God. 15:20 And I keep falling in love with Him 15:23 over and over and over and over again. 15:28 I keep falling in love with Him 15:31 over and over and over and over again. 15:36 He gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by, 15:41 oh what a love between my Lord and I 15:44 just keep falling in love with Him 15:47 over and over and over and over again. 15:55 About 35 years ago the Lord gave me this song: 15:58 In the midst of His children 16:03 the Lord said He would be. 16:08 It doesn't take very many... 16:13 it can be just two or three. 16:18 And I feel that same sweet Spirit - 16:23 thank you, Lord - that I felt those times before. 16:29 Oh surely I can say - hallelujah! 16:35 I have been with the Lord. Would you sing this with us? 16:41 For surely the presence 16:46 of the Lord is in this place. 16:51 I can feel His mighty power 16:56 and His grace! 17:01 I can hear the brush of angels' wings; 17:06 I see glory on each face. 17:12 Surely the presence 17:16 of the Lord is in this place. 17:24 There's a holy hush around us 17:29 as God's glory fills this place. 17:34 I've touched the hem of His garment; 17:39 oh and I can almost see His face! 17:45 And my heart is overflowing 17:50 with the fullness of His joy. 17:56 I know without a doubt 18:01 that we have been with our Lord! 18:07 For surely the presence 18:12 of the Lord is in this place. 18:17 I can feel His mighty power 18:22 and His grace! 18:27 I can hear the brush of angels' wings; 18:32 I see glory on each face. 18:38 Surely the presence 18:43 of the Lord 18:46 is in this place. 18:50 Aren't you glad that God has people in all churches? 18:53 Amen! He has people we don't even know, we've never met 18:56 yet we can come together. On this stage right now 18:58 there's a number of us from - different - if I can use 19:01 the term - denominational or church backgrounds. 19:05 But we all love Jesus. Yes! We all have the same goal. 19:08 We all have the same mission in life, and that's to tell 19:12 others what Jesus has done for us. 19:14 Our greatest asset is not our knowledge of this or that 19:19 but is our own personal testimony 19:21 of what God has done for each and every one of us. 19:25 Think what it's going to be like together. You're going to 19:27 get folks from all different churches. People who've never 19:30 been to church I think, I believe. Some of you heard 19:34 Pastor Phipps' sermon yesterday. 19:36 I think you'll agree with me. People who've never been. 19:39 There's the thief on the cross and potentially millions of 19:42 people that when the eastern skies break and Jesus comes 19:47 to claim His own will be all looking up. 19:50 And together in heaven we can sing: 19:53 Surely the presence 19:57 of the Lord is in this place! 20:03 I can feel His mighty power 20:07 and His grace. 20:13 I can hear the brush of angels' wings; 20:18 I see glory on each face. 20:24 Surely the presence 20:28 of the Lord is in this 20:33 place. 20:37 Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Amen! 20:49 Some may wonder where the beauty lies 20:55 in the name I hold so dear. 21:01 Well it's not just 21:05 in the way it sounds 21:09 as it falls 21:12 on my ear. 21:18 And it's not just in the way it looks 21:24 when it is written beautifully... 21:30 for the beauty of that lovely name 21:36 is in the power it gives to me. 21:42 It's so beautiful: 21:49 the name of Jesus! 21:54 It's so beautiful: 21:58 that precious name! 22:06 If you'll ask in Jesus' name, 22:11 anything is yours just to claim. 22:17 And I love 22:20 that precious 22:24 name. 22:29 At the sound of His name 22:35 every demon has to flee. 22:40 For to that name 22:42 all power is given 22:45 to set the helpless captives free. 22:52 Every sin, disease, and sickness 22:58 must bow down to that name 23:03 and forever, evermore surrender. 23:08 For all of time I shall proclaim: 23:13 It's so beautiful: 23:19 that name of Jesus! 23:24 It's so beautiful: 23:27 that precious name! 23:34 If you'll ask in Jesus' name, 23:39 anything is yours just to claim. 23:44 And I love 23:48 that precious name. 23:53 Cherish that beautiful name. 23:58 Cherish that 24:01 wonderful name. 24:07 Cherish that matchless name. 24:14 That name is 24:17 Jesus. 24:21 Cherish that 24:24 beautiful name. 24:28 Cherish that 24:31 wonderful name. 24:36 Cherish that 24:39 matchless name. 24:44 That name is 24:47 Jesus. 24:54 Amen! Thank you, Lanny, for being used as an instrument 24:57 of God to write so many songs. 25:01 All of those which we've just sung tonight. 25:03 So we're going to back away here our 3ABN folk 25:06 and turn you guys loose. Marietta, it's always 25:09 a privilege to have you and Dave here. 25:11 There's such an anointing on your ministry and on your music. 25:14 And Melody grew up listening to you. 25:18 And of course, when she listened to you I listened to you. 25:21 The whole family. And I know, Lanny, we sang 25:23 your songs 35 years ago when Melody's mother 25:26 and Lisa and Rhonda and all of us - Melody - 25:29 we traveled and we sang Lanny Wolfe songs. 25:32 Never dreamed that someday we'd be ministering together, 25:35 working together. Marietta read the book today. 25:38 Oh yes I did! We all better take that book home. 25:41 Yeah. Oh my goodness! It's powerful! 25:43 And we need to hear that kind of writing in this day 25:46 that we're livin' in. Thank you for writing that. 25:48 Well we praise the Lord and thank you that you read it. 25:50 I gave her a manuscript. She said: "I read it on the plane. " 25:52 Thank you so much for what you guys do for the cause 25:54 of God. And Dave, thank you for all of your years of service 25:58 to the Lord. And we love you here at 3ABN. 26:01 You're part of our family. Thank you so much. 26:04 We love being a part of this family. 26:06 We thank God for Danny and all of the people that are 26:10 working here in this place and the people who worship here. 26:14 And all the people that work here... they worship while 26:16 they're working. It's wonderful. Beautiful beautiful to see them. 26:24 The world will try 26:27 to satisfy 26:30 that longing in your soul. 26:36 You may search 26:38 the wide world o'er 26:42 but you'll be just as before. 26:48 You'll never find 26:52 true satisfaction 26:57 until you've found the Lord 27:02 for only Jesus 27:07 can satisfy 27:10 your soul. 27:15 Only Jesus 27:20 can satisfy 27:23 your soul! 27:28 And only He 27:31 can change your heart 27:34 and make you whole. 27:40 He'll give you peace 27:43 you never knew... 27:46 sweet love and joy 27:49 and then heaven too. 27:53 Only Jesus 27:58 can satisfy 28:02 your soul. 28:07 The Lord gave me that song when I was 18 years of age. 28:12 My second year at Ohio State University. 28:15 That was a couple years back. 28:19 Time passes so swiftly. 28:22 Before you know it you're out of college. 28:25 Before you know it you have kids. 28:28 Before you know it they have grandkids. 28:32 The days pass so swiftly... 28:38 the months come and go. 28:43 The years melt away 28:49 like new-fallen snow. 28:55 Spring turns to summer, 28:59 summer to fall... 29:04 autumn brings winter 29:08 then death comes to call. 29:16 Only one life... 29:20 so soon it will pass. 29:26 Only what's done 29:30 for Christ will last. 29:34 Only one chance 29:38 to do His will. 29:43 So give to Jesus all your days. 29:47 It's the only life that pays 29:52 when you recall 29:55 you have but 29:57 one life. 30:03 Amen! 30:05 And that's the bottom line of life. 30:09 You only get one 30:11 and you'd better make good use of it. 30:13 And the way you can make good use of it is to find 30:16 God's will for your life and then DO IT! 30:19 I have Comcast for my Internet provider. 30:25 Do you have Comcast up here? Over here? Somewhere? 30:27 OK... good. So you don't know anything about Comcast. 30:31 Thank you. Xfinity... whatever. 30:34 So, well... from time to time it goes out, 30:36 you know, and so I'm left stranded. I can't connect 30:39 with the world. And so the first thing I do is call Comcast 30:44 and I have to go through this series of numbers 30:46 to make sure that I'm the person that's calling on my phone. 30:50 "Hello, what is your name? " "Lanny Wolfe. " 30:52 "What is your address? " 30:53 "What is your grandmother's favorite peanut butter brand? " 30:55 All that kind of questioning, you know. 30:58 So I called and I went through the "What is your name? " Lanny 31:02 Wolfe. " So they tried to fix the problem 31:04 but they couldn't. They said: "Oh, it's not... 31:06 it's not Internet... your computer is the problem. 31:11 Go take it to Best Buy. " And so I did. 31:13 Went to Best Buy and they hooked it up 31:15 and it got on their Internet right away. They said: 31:18 "There's not a problem with your computer! 31:20 It hooks up with our Internet. Go back and call Comcast 31:23 one more time. " And so I did. 31:25 "Hello... what is your name? " 31:28 "Lanny Wolfe. " 31:32 "Are you a songwriter? " 31:35 "Yes. " 31:37 "Did you write Surely The Presence of the Lord 31:40 Is In This Place? " 31:43 "Yes. " 31:46 "Our dad taught us all of your songs when we were kids. " 31:54 He fixed my Internet problem! 32:00 And in the second-largest country in the world - 32:04 I have to stand to tell you this: 32:07 1.6 billion people live in India. 32:14 Seventy percent of 1.6 billion people 32:18 are Hindus. 32:20 They have all kinds of gods. 32:22 Buddha, Shinto, and all kinds of gods. 32:26 Twenty percent are Muslims. 32:30 Their prophet is Mohammad and their god is Allah. 32:36 Ten percent of the country are Christians. 32:40 Out of all the 1.6 billion people in India 32:46 on my second phone call to Comcast 32:50 I would get a Christian. 32:52 Thank God. Amen! 32:54 It had to be God. It was God. 32:57 God knew that the first phone call wouldn't do this... 33:00 wouldn't get the job done. 33:02 So we're talking about the Lord 33:04 and at the end of the conversation 33:10 he said: "Yes, 33:13 Jesus... He's just like music to my ears. " 33:22 I hung up the phone and my spirit froze 33:28 and I started writing the song that we're going to sing for you 33:31 right now called Music To My Ears 33:34 because I had an Internet problem. 33:37 Thank you, Lord. He works in mysterious ways. 33:40 When negative things come into your life, don't be quick 33:43 to give the devil credit. That's right. Amen! 33:46 God may be wanting to do something in your life 33:49 that has to come through a negative situation. 33:53 Your Internet may be out... and worse... 33:55 but God knows He's trying to birth something out of that 33:59 in your life. And so we're going to debut this song 34:03 to you. You're the first people... 34:05 We just kind of learned this last night. 34:07 So if anything doesn't sound right it's her fault. 34:22 Cherished by angels high above 34:27 and mortal men below 34:33 The name above all other names 34:39 is the sweetest name I know! 34:45 Heavenly symphony: 34:49 redemption's glad 34:52 refrain. 34:57 The song my heart 35:00 keeps singing 35:03 is Jesus' 35:05 lovely name! 35:11 Jesus, I love 35:15 Your precious name. 35:19 It's music to my ears! 35:25 Jesus, Your strong and mighty name 35:31 calms all my doubts and fears. 35:37 For no other name can save my soul; 35:42 no other name can make me whole. 35:47 Jesus, I love Your name... 35:51 it's music to 35:55 my ears... 35:59 Jesus, I love Your name... 36:03 it's music to 36:06 my ears. 36:11 Troubles tried to steal my song of joy 36:17 that gives me strength within. 36:22 So weak, at times I wondered if 36:29 I would ever sing again. 36:34 But just the whisper 36:38 of Your name 36:40 changes everything. 36:45 As a song begins to swell within 36:51 my soul 36:53 my heart can sing: 36:59 Jesus, I love 37:02 Your precious name! 37:06 It's music to my ears. 37:11 Jesus, Your strong and mighty name 37:18 calms all my doubts and fears. 37:23 For no other name 37:26 can save my soul; 37:29 no other name can make me whole. 37:35 Jesus, I love Your name... 37:39 it's music to 37:42 my ears... 37:47 Jesus, I love Your name... 37:51 it's music to 37:54 my ears... 38:02 Jesus, I love Your name... 38:06 it's music to 38:09 my ears... 38:14 Jesus, I love Your name... 38:19 it's music to 38:23 my ears. 38:31 I love you, Jesus. I love you, Jesus. I love you, Jesus. 38:36 I love that I know Your name. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah! 38:40 Thank you, Lord. That name above all names. 38:44 We thank you, God, that we have heard it, 38:47 that we know it, and that we know You personally, Lord. 38:50 Hallelujah! We're so grateful, Jesus. Hallelujah! 38:54 Thank you, Jesus. 38:56 Her name is Roberta: 38:59 a 76-year-old widow from the state of Washington. 39:05 She heard the Lanny Wolfe Trio sing on a 3ABN program 39:11 and she called our office to ask if we had a CD 39:14 for the song A Brand New Touch. 39:20 She went on to explain that she's having a very hard time 39:23 right now. Two years ago her oldest son 39:28 at age 44 fell 15 feet from a tree 39:33 and died. Then just this past January 39:39 her youngest son who was killed in a workplace accident 39:44 also died... and he was also 44. 39:49 I can't imagine going through that. 39:51 But she said that she wrote out the words 39:55 to a song called A Brand New Touch 39:58 on a piece of paper 40:00 and she reads those words at the beginning of each new day 40:05 and then she feels like she can make it through that day. 40:12 So we'd like to sing this song for all the other Robertas 40:17 that there may be out there 40:19 who are living with a painful storm 40:25 of hard time in their life. 40:28 They don't know what they're going to do. 40:30 They've never had that before. 40:32 "God, how can I make it? " 40:35 But remember: you know the answer. You just said God. Yes. 40:39 If you know God, He IS the answer. 40:41 And you CAN make it... just call out to Him. 40:45 And He wants to give you a new touch today. 40:49 Lord, You know I need a brand new touch... 40:56 my strength from yesterday is gone. 41:03 But if You'll give me, Lord, another touch 41:10 I'll have the strength to carry on. 41:17 Yesterday has come and gone 41:24 and now a new day's coming on. 41:30 I do not know 41:33 what it may bring... 41:37 my heart may cry instead of sing. 41:44 But it matters not 41:46 what comes my way, Lord, 41:51 if You'll just touch me new each day. 41:58 Your loving touch 42:00 drives all my fears away. 42:05 Close by Your side I want to stay! 42:12 Lord, You know I need a brand new touch... 42:19 my strength from yesterday is gone. 42:26 But if You'll give me, Lord, another touch 42:32 I'll have the strength to carry on. 42:40 Lord, You know how weak I really am... 42:46 even better than myself. 42:53 But with Your help I know I really can 42:59 make it through the darkest night... 43:03 everything's gonna be all right! 43:09 Hallelujah! Lord, You know 43:12 I need a brand new touch... a brand new touch... 43:17 my strength from yesterday is gone. 43:24 But if You'll give me, Lord, another touch 43:31 I'll have the strength to carry on... 43:36 If You touch me, Lord, I'll have the strength 43:40 to carry on... 43:43 Won't You touch me, Lord? 43:45 Give me the strength to carry 43:50 on. 43:55 Thank you, Lord. 43:57 Amen! Thank you so much! 44:00 Wasn't that beautiful? 44:02 Amen! Thank you, Marietta. 44:03 Dave, thank you so much. 44:05 Mr. Lanny before you leave let's step up here just a second. 44:09 About... it's probably been a year and a half or 2 years ago 44:12 I don't remember for sure, but I had written a chorus. 44:15 We were gettin' ready to do the Calvary Project 44:17 and a little chorus came to me. 44:19 And so I said: "Wow, that sounds like 44:23 a chorus that would fit with what we're doin' 44:25 but I don't have time. We're actually going to Nashville 44:28 and we're recording the next two days. " 44:30 So I sang it for Reggie. He said: "We've got to put 44:33 this on the project. " And I said: "I don't really have 44:36 any verses... I just have the chorus. " 44:38 "Well maybe you can write something. " 44:39 So the next day we did our sessions. Lanny Wolfe came in 44:43 and we did a number of his songs. 44:45 Went to the airport; I picked him up. 44:47 And I sang it to him on the way back to the hotel. 44:53 Next morning at breakfast John Lomacang and Lanny and I 44:56 were there and Lanny said: "I've been thinking about that 44:59 song all night" and he said "I think I can... " 45:01 "Do you want me write some? " Now Lanny Wolfe comes to you 45:04 and says: "Do you want me to write some verses? " 45:05 What do you say? "Of course! " If you're into music, 45:08 into gospel music, there's nobody else 45:11 that I would rather say: "Yes, I would co-write this song. " 45:15 So he wrote the verses to this song 45:18 and we entitled it Gethsemane. And Reggie... 45:21 We're going to ask Reggie Smith to come out and sing it for us 45:24 right now. Thank you, Reggie. 45:26 Love you. Wonderful talent. 45:29 Now with the Gaither Vocal Band for those of you that don't know 45:32 and that's kind of a change in their... I guess your lifestyle 45:37 and what have you. But you're still gettin' to be 45:39 with your family quite a few weekends. 45:40 But you're traveling with the Gaithers now. 45:42 Traveling with them quite a bit but I tell you what: 45:45 it's nice to be with a pretty brunette. 45:47 All right. That's my wife, by the way. 45:49 My wife. I love it; come on up here. 45:52 OK. Oh, the brunette was your wife. 45:54 That's good to know. The brunette's my wife. 45:56 So you'll be singing Gethsemane. Gethsemane. Thank you. 46:05 Remember: my wife is a brunette. 46:15 All the way from heaven's splendor 46:21 robed in flesh 46:23 born in a manger 46:28 Jesus came to set 46:31 sin's captives free. 46:37 "Father, not My will 46:42 but Thine be done" 46:46 was the prayer He prayed, 46:48 God's only Son... 46:52 So He drank the bitter cup 46:56 for you and me. 47:02 He suffered Gethsemane 47:08 through blood, sweat, and tears. 47:14 Each drop of blood He shed 47:19 bought me 47:21 a million years. 47:27 God's crowning sacrifice: 47:33 His spotless Lamb! 47:39 Now risen from the grave 47:45 He is the great I AM! 47:54 All alone 47:57 He felt forsaken. 48:01 In the garden 48:03 His heart was breaking. 48:07 Yet He chose to die 48:11 on Calvary. 48:17 Jesus, blessed Savior 48:22 and Redeemer, 48:25 all to Him I now surrender. 48:31 Could I do less 48:34 after all He's done 48:38 for me? 48:42 He suffered Gethsemane 48:48 through blood, sweat, and tears. 48:54 Each drop of blood He shed 48:59 bought me 49:01 a million years. 49:06 God's crowning 49:09 sacrifice: 49:13 His spotless Lamb! 49:19 Now risen from the grave 49:24 He is the great 49:28 I AM! 49:33 He could have left us 49:36 to die in our sin 49:39 alone... forever lost. 49:45 But grace 49:47 would change how the story ends... 49:51 Jesus' blood 49:53 would pay the cost! 50:03 He suffered Gethsemane 50:08 through blood, sweat, and tears. 50:12 Each drop of blood He shed 50:16 bought me 50:19 a million years. 50:24 God's crowning 50:27 sacrifice: 50:31 His spotless Lamb! 50:37 Now risen from the grave 50:42 He is the great 50:45 I AM! 50:50 God's crowning sacrifice: 50:56 His spotless 51:00 Lamb! 51:03 Now risen 51:06 from the grave 51:09 He is the great 51:12 I AM! 51:17 Now risen from the grave 51:22 Jesus is 51:25 the great I... 51:29 I AM! 51:50 Amen! Thank you, Reggie. Beautiful! 51:54 You talked about the beautiful brunette: 51:56 let's ask her to come out. Oh yes! Ladye, 51:58 I think we've just about got time for her to sing 52:01 Calvary Says Love. And Ladye, we love you 52:05 and appreciate your ministry and your music. 52:08 God bless you, and thank you for singing this song. 52:11 Thank you. Well you wrote it! 52:13 Well, that's one of the perks of being the writer. 52:17 You can ask people to sing your song. I love this song. 52:20 Thank you, and I love you. I really love it. 52:35 In compassion and love 52:39 He looked down to earth 52:44 then He sent His Son, 52:49 born of a virgin birth. 52:55 He knew from creation 53:00 what was to be. 53:05 With great love for man 53:09 He planned 53:11 Calvary. 53:17 Calvary says love 53:21 to me 53:26 like words 53:29 could never say. 53:36 The blood He shed 53:41 was love written in red... 53:47 Calvary says love 53:52 to me. 54:04 Separated by sin 54:08 was the whole human race. 54:14 Man was destined to die 54:18 were it not for grace. 54:23 A cross and three nails 54:28 never held Him there! 54:33 He willingly chose 54:38 the cross to 54:41 bear. 54:46 Calvary says love 54:50 to me 54:55 like words 54:58 could never say. 55:05 The blood He shed 55:10 was love written in red... 55:15 Calvary says love 55:20 to me. 55:40 The blood He shed 55:44 was love written in red... 55:50 Calvary says love 55:55 to me... 56:00 The blood He shed 56:04 was love written 56:07 in red... 56:12 Calvary says love 56:17 to me... 56:22 Calvary says love 56:30 to me. 56:52 Amen! Thank you, Ladye Love. 56:55 Beautiful! Wow, we only have about 30 seconds left 56:58 for this hour. I hope you've been enjoying the music. 57:01 But more importantly I hope you've been feeling 57:04 an anointing of the Holy Spirit. 57:06 We've really prayed and we said: "Lord, we're not... " 57:09 Some of these folk could be entertainers... 57:11 but they're not. 57:13 They're giving honor and praise and worship 57:16 to the Lord, and I'm ministered by them every time that 57:19 I hear them. And I'm so blessed and we're so blessed 57:21 that they would come here at 3ABN and share 57:24 in this gift. For those of you at home: 57:26 we're going to take just a short break, but we'll 57:28 be back in just a moment. |
