And suddenly
there was with the angel
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
a multitude of the heavenly host
00:00:02.70\00:00:04.70
praising God and saying:
00:00:04.73\00:00:06.57
"Glory to the
God in the highest,
00:00:06.60\00:00:08.67
and on earth peace,
goodwill toward men!"
00:00:08.70\00:00:12.44

00:01:04.33\00:01:10.33
Let men their songs employ
00:01:10.37\00:01:16.54
While fields and floods
00:01:16.57\00:01:19.71
Rocks, hills and plains
00:01:19.74\00:01:22.91
Repeat the sounding
joy Repeat the sounding joy
00:01:22.94\00:01:29.18
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy
00:01:29.22\00:01:34.89
All right.
00:01:39.66\00:01:40.96
He rules the world
with truth and grace
00:01:41.00\00:01:45.73
And makes the nations prove
00:01:45.77\00:01:51.91
The glories of His righteousness
00:01:51.94\00:01:56.48
His righteousness
00:01:56.51\00:01:58.28
And wonders of His love
00:01:58.31\00:02:01.32
And wonders of His love
00:02:01.35\00:02:04.39
And wonders,
wonders, of His love
00:02:04.42\00:02:11.56
All right.
00:02:16.30\00:02:17.63
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:02:17.67\00:02:19.37
All right.
00:02:19.40\00:02:20.74
Oh, we are having
some fun here tonight.
00:02:20.80\00:02:22.14
We are already.
00:02:22.17\00:02:23.51
What's happening here?
Tell us what's going on?
00:02:23.54\00:02:24.87
I know, this is
00:02:24.91\00:02:26.24
The Dare to
Dream holiday special.
00:02:26.27\00:02:28.74
An evening with
Danny, Yvonne, and friends.
00:02:28.78\00:02:31.91
All of our
guests. All of our guests.
00:02:31.95\00:02:33.28
You know, this is so exciting,
00:02:33.31\00:02:34.65
we've been waiting for
this for a whole year, right?
00:02:34.68\00:02:36.05
I know.
00:02:36.08\00:02:37.45
And Yvonne...
00:02:37.49\00:02:38.82
Some of the best
voices in the world.
00:02:38.85\00:02:40.19
I told Yvonne,
just why don't you get
00:02:40.22\00:02:41.56
some of the Dare to Dream folk
00:02:41.59\00:02:42.92
and you just pick out
the best in the business
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.06
and, you know what?
00:02:45.09\00:02:46.43
Here you all are. All right.
00:02:46.46\00:02:47.76
So all right, so
that's just exactly
00:02:47.83\00:02:49.46
and I'm a believer,
00:02:49.50\00:02:51.07
I'm here and stuff
00:02:51.10\00:02:52.43
and I got to hear a
little bit of the warm up,
00:02:52.47\00:02:53.97
so I got little better,
00:02:54.00\00:02:55.34
this going to be a fun evening,
00:02:55.37\00:02:56.94
a spiritual
evening, you know why?
00:02:56.97\00:02:58.84
Because Jesus is the
center of this program.
00:02:58.87\00:03:01.54
Jesus is the reason
for this program tonight.
00:03:01.58\00:03:03.95
That's right.
00:03:03.98\00:03:05.31
Sometimes folks will
write in, they'll say,
00:03:05.35\00:03:06.68
you shouldn't be
doing Christmas programs,
00:03:06.72\00:03:08.35
Christ wasn't born December 25.
00:03:08.38\00:03:10.89
I say, we know
that, we know that,
00:03:10.92\00:03:13.36
but Jesus says the
reason for the season.
00:03:13.39\00:03:15.79
So when you can go into
a Walmart this time of year
00:03:15.82\00:03:18.76
or any store, and
hear songs about Christ,
00:03:18.79\00:03:21.26
how often is that?
00:03:21.30\00:03:22.63
Once a year
00:03:22.66\00:03:24.03
and the people are
listening all around the world,
00:03:24.07\00:03:25.83
anytime we have a
chance to worship the Lord,
00:03:25.87\00:03:28.37
we should do it.
00:03:28.40\00:03:29.74
So we are gonna
take advantage of this.
00:03:29.77\00:03:31.11
You all can be sad and
long faced if you want,
00:03:31.14\00:03:33.54
but we are gonna
serve the Lord tonight
00:03:33.58\00:03:35.21
and we are gonna
have a blast doing it.
00:03:35.24\00:03:36.58
Yes.
00:03:36.61\00:03:37.95
Amen, it's just like you
kind of preaching over here.
00:03:37.98\00:03:39.31
Well, that's right, I quit now.
00:03:39.35\00:03:41.28
We love it, we
love it, we love you.
00:03:41.32\00:03:42.65
We want you to continue that.
00:03:42.68\00:03:44.05
You gonna introduce folk?
00:03:44.09\00:03:45.42
I am, I am, so at the piano,
00:03:45.45\00:03:47.36
he's gonna sing
too is John Stoddart.
00:03:47.42\00:03:49.86
And we are
gonna learn more about
00:03:49.89\00:03:51.23
what everybody has been
doing in little bit but,
00:03:51.26\00:03:53.13
John, thank you so much...
00:03:53.16\00:03:54.56
Oh, it's great to be
here. Playing for us, yay.
00:03:54.60\00:03:56.80
Absolutely, what
a great touch too.
00:03:56.83\00:03:58.57
I know, I know.
Beautiful chords.
00:03:58.60\00:04:00.77
And then we have Neville Peter.
00:04:00.84\00:04:02.47
Hi, Neville.
00:04:02.50\00:04:03.84
Good to be
here, good to be here.
00:04:03.91\00:04:05.24
All right, one of
my favorite singers
00:04:05.27\00:04:06.78
in the whole world,
00:04:06.81\00:04:08.14
you know this guy
incredibly blessed by God.
00:04:08.18\00:04:10.25
Absolutely, for sure, for sure
00:04:10.28\00:04:12.15
and then we have
Shirley Thomas-Laurencin.
00:04:12.18\00:04:14.45
Hi, Shirley.
00:04:14.48\00:04:15.82
Honored to be here, thank you.
00:04:15.85\00:04:18.22
Shirley and then
we have Dennis Collins
00:04:18.25\00:04:21.82
and he's been my friend for...
00:04:21.86\00:04:23.19
For a long time.
00:04:23.22\00:04:24.56
Oh, yeah, let's
just say a long time.
00:04:24.59\00:04:25.93
A long time.
00:04:25.96\00:04:27.30
You want to get specific about
how many years and all that?
00:04:27.30\00:04:28.70
Let's just say it's
been more than two decades.
00:04:28.73\00:04:32.97
That's right and
I'm glad to be here.
00:04:33.00\00:04:34.34
A long time, two decade.
00:04:34.37\00:04:35.70
Haven't seen her in
so long, so thank you.
00:04:35.74\00:04:37.07
I know...
00:04:37.11\00:04:38.44
You all were just kids, right?
00:04:38.47\00:04:39.81
That's right, we like that.
00:04:39.84\00:04:41.18
Then we got Angela
Bryant-Brown, right.
00:04:41.21\00:04:42.54
Angela Bryant-Brown.
I'm glad to be here.
00:04:42.58\00:04:43.91
Hi, Angela. Such an honor.
00:04:43.95\00:04:45.38
Angela is not only
beautiful and talented
00:04:45.41\00:04:48.55
but she loves Jesus.
00:04:48.58\00:04:49.98
She does. And that makes it all.
00:04:50.05\00:04:51.69
It does, it does. Yeah.
00:04:51.72\00:04:53.22
And then of course,
we have Lyndon Carriger,
00:04:53.25\00:04:55.59
and Lyndon of
course is no stranger
00:04:55.62\00:04:56.99
to Dare to Dream.
00:04:57.03\00:04:58.36
He has hosted Magnify
Him, our music program,
00:04:58.39\00:05:01.30

00:05:01.33\00:05:02.66
Glad to be here.
Thanks for having me.
00:05:02.70\00:05:04.07
Yes, yes.
00:05:04.10\00:05:05.43
It's gonna be a
great evening, Yvonne,
00:05:05.47\00:05:06.80
I'm looking forward to.
00:05:06.84\00:05:08.17
I can't wait to hear
00:05:08.20\00:05:09.54
what God is gonna do
through all these folks.
00:05:09.57\00:05:10.91
Me too, me too
00:05:10.94\00:05:12.27
and we gonna start with Shirley.
00:05:12.31\00:05:13.64
Okay.
00:05:13.68\00:05:15.01
Shirley has one,
00:05:15.04\00:05:16.38
tell us what you
gonna sing, Shirley?
00:05:16.41\00:05:18.85
Choose the song, named, titled
00:05:18.88\00:05:22.75
"A Stranger Way",
00:05:22.78\00:05:24.99
A Strange way to Save the World.
00:05:25.02\00:05:29.79
Thought about what
you shared earlier, Danny,
00:05:29.82\00:05:34.50
that around this
time of the year,
00:05:34.56\00:05:38.90
it's a great time to reassess
00:05:38.93\00:05:42.00
what our beliefs are,
00:05:42.04\00:05:45.64
and when we are witnessing,
00:05:45.67\00:05:49.81
it is somehow time as well,
00:05:49.84\00:05:53.88
when to explain
the birth of Christ,
00:05:53.92\00:05:59.82
may come across a strange.
00:05:59.85\00:06:02.36
But in this strange way
00:06:02.39\00:06:04.26
that He chose to save the world,
00:06:04.29\00:06:06.73
I am free because of that.
00:06:06.76\00:06:08.26
All right.
00:06:08.30\00:06:09.63
And so, want to
share this song with you.
00:06:09.66\00:06:12.57
I know he must
have been surprised
00:06:27.98\00:06:33.36
At where this road had taken him
00:06:33.39\00:06:38.46
'Cause never in a million lives
00:06:38.49\00:06:44.03
Would he have
dreamed of Bethlehem
00:06:44.07\00:06:50.51
Standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
00:06:50.57\00:06:57.95
The message from
the angel come to life
00:06:57.98\00:07:04.02
He must have said Why me
00:07:04.05\00:07:07.96
Just a simple man of trade
00:07:07.99\00:07:13.23
Why Him with all
the rulers in the world
00:07:13.26\00:07:17.37
In the world
00:07:17.40\00:07:19.83
Why here inside this
stable filled with hay
00:07:19.87\00:07:27.31
Why her, she's
just an ordinary girl
00:07:27.38\00:07:34.52
Now I'm not one to second guess
00:07:34.55\00:07:38.62
What angels have to say
00:07:38.65\00:07:43.19
But this is such a strange way
00:07:43.22\00:07:47.40
To save the world
00:07:47.40\00:07:49.13
Think of how it could have been
00:07:54.34\00:07:59.61
If Jesus had come as He deserved
00:07:59.64\00:08:05.35
There wouldn't be a Bethlehem
00:08:05.38\00:08:10.62
No lonely shepherds at His birth
00:08:10.65\00:08:17.89
Joseph knew the Reason
love had to reach so far
00:08:17.93\00:08:24.73
And as he held
the Savior in his arms
00:08:24.77\00:08:30.31
He must have said Why me
00:08:30.34\00:08:34.38
I'm just a simple man of trade
00:08:34.41\00:08:39.48
Why Him with all
the rulers in the world
00:08:39.51\00:08:46.02
Why here inside this
stable filled with hay
00:08:46.05\00:08:54.00
Why her, she's
just an ordinary girl
00:08:54.00\00:09:01.40
Now I'm not one to second guess
00:09:01.44\00:09:05.24
What angels have to say
00:09:05.27\00:09:10.08
But this is such a strange way
00:09:10.11\00:09:14.08
To save the world
00:09:14.15\00:09:21.42
This is such a strange way
00:09:21.46\00:09:25.56
This is such a strange way
00:09:25.59\00:09:28.63
This is such a strange way
00:09:28.66\00:09:33.54
To save the world
00:09:33.57\00:09:39.47
To save the world
00:09:39.51\00:09:42.44
World
00:09:42.48\00:09:44.05
Amen, beautiful.
00:09:54.66\00:09:55.99
Amen.
00:09:56.02\00:09:57.36
Beautiful as you make
in your way back here,
00:09:57.43\00:09:59.46
Shirley, tell us
where you're from?
00:09:59.49\00:10:01.00
Watch the snow,
00:10:01.03\00:10:02.36
you don't slip
and slide on the ice.
00:10:02.40\00:10:04.07
The ice and
snow layer, you know.
00:10:04.13\00:10:05.47
Ice and snow.
00:10:05.50\00:10:06.84
It's quite slippery, thank you.
00:10:06.87\00:10:08.20
There you go, all right.
00:10:08.24\00:10:10.11
Tell us where you're from?
00:10:10.17\00:10:12.34
I currently reside
and work in New York.
00:10:12.37\00:10:18.15
Well, knocking
into New York. New York.
00:10:18.18\00:10:19.65
All right, I think,
00:10:19.68\00:10:21.08
there are
several New Yorkers here
00:10:21.12\00:10:22.45
I'm not sure, I
know there is one sitting
00:10:22.48\00:10:24.05
beside me right here.
00:10:24.09\00:10:25.42
Yes.
00:10:25.45\00:10:26.79
Anybody?
00:10:26.82\00:10:28.16
And the one that sitting
beside me. I'm in New York.
00:10:28.19\00:10:29.52
Dennis, do you? And
I was born in New York.
00:10:29.56\00:10:30.89
You were born in New York?
00:10:30.93\00:10:32.26
Born and raised.
Oh, I didn't know that.
00:10:32.29\00:10:33.63
Neville?
00:10:33.66\00:10:34.96
Neville, aren't
you from New York.
00:10:35.00\00:10:36.33
No, no, no, I'm
from the Caribbean.
00:10:36.36\00:10:37.70
Oh, my bad, Neville.
00:10:37.73\00:10:39.07
Caribbean.
00:10:39.10\00:10:40.44
That's a long ways
from New York, you know.
00:10:40.47\00:10:41.80
It is.
00:10:41.84\00:10:43.17
Very long ways. Yeah.
00:10:43.20\00:10:44.54
All right, a few of
us not from New York.
00:10:44.57\00:10:46.21
But how about, how about John,
00:10:46.24\00:10:47.84
is he going to be
singing for us next?
00:10:47.88\00:10:49.21
John is going to...
00:10:49.24\00:10:50.58
And where are you from, John?
00:10:50.61\00:10:51.95
I'm from
Philadelphia originally.
00:10:51.98\00:10:53.45
So I wasn't born near New York.
00:10:53.48\00:10:55.68
Okay. All right.
00:10:55.72\00:10:57.12
Where you reside now?
00:10:57.15\00:10:58.75
I live in Huntsville, Alabama
00:10:58.79\00:11:01.06
and I still considered
myself a Philadelphian though,
00:11:01.09\00:11:03.63
that's home for me.
00:11:03.66\00:11:04.99
Yeah, but I love,
00:11:05.03\00:11:06.36
so Alabama is
my second home now,
00:11:06.39\00:11:07.73
Huntsville.
00:11:07.76\00:11:09.06
I'm settled in,
enjoying it, raising kids,
00:11:09.10\00:11:11.43
wife and two daughters.
00:11:11.47\00:11:12.80
So I'm enjoying Huntsville...
00:11:12.83\00:11:14.20
Okay. All right.
00:11:14.24\00:11:15.57
And you have a
couple of projects,
00:11:15.60\00:11:16.94
don't you, John?
00:11:16.97\00:11:18.31
I do, Been
fortunate to be able to do
00:11:18.34\00:11:19.74
a few solo
recording as well as work
00:11:19.77\00:11:21.61
as a music
producer and song writer
00:11:21.64\00:11:23.31
with some of my
favorite artists,
00:11:23.35\00:11:24.68
so it's just,
00:11:24.71\00:11:26.05
I pinch myself
sometimes because I'm like wow,
00:11:26.08\00:11:27.62
I get to work with
this person or that person.
00:11:27.65\00:11:29.52
So it's a real blessing.
00:11:29.55\00:11:30.89
Well, we feel
that about you today,
00:11:30.95\00:11:32.29
we get to work with you.
00:11:32.32\00:11:33.66
We are pinching ourselves here.
00:11:33.69\00:11:35.02
We are pinching ourselves.
00:11:35.06\00:11:36.39
What do you gonna sing for us?
00:11:36.42\00:11:37.76
Well, I'm gonna sing a song...
00:11:37.79\00:11:39.13
My most memorable Christmas was
00:11:39.16\00:11:42.13
when my youngest
daughter was born.
00:11:42.16\00:11:43.80
She was born on Christmas Eve.
00:11:43.83\00:11:45.17
So that's the
Christmas that is always I think
00:11:45.20\00:11:47.20
for now through
eternity will ever
00:11:47.27\00:11:49.57
stand out for me in my mind.
00:11:49.60\00:11:51.81
And so for me
parenthood has just been
00:11:51.84\00:11:54.48
one of the greatest gifts
that I could have ever received
00:11:54.51\00:11:57.81
and it's amazing how God
will use that relationship
00:11:57.85\00:12:02.85
to help us learn about
our relationship with him.
00:12:02.88\00:12:05.05
So I'd like to
share a little song
00:12:05.09\00:12:06.86
that I wrote just honoring,
00:12:06.89\00:12:08.39
that special gift that
00:12:08.42\00:12:09.76
I got in my
daughter right at Christmas.
00:12:09.79\00:12:11.23
It's called "I Never Knew."
00:12:11.26\00:12:12.59
I never knew
what miracle could be
00:12:20.97\00:12:28.51
So precious and beautiful to me
00:12:28.54\00:12:36.45
I look in your
eyes and I see what
00:12:36.48\00:12:43.99
I never knew
00:12:44.03\00:12:45.63
That one of your
smiles is worth more
00:12:51.33\00:12:58.77
That a sky full
of diamonds galore
00:12:58.81\00:13:06.82
And now I know world of is for
00:13:06.85\00:13:12.72
I never knew
00:13:12.75\00:13:15.59
So precious Jesus
00:13:21.36\00:13:28.94
Because of all you do
00:13:28.97\00:13:31.17
This gift you gave me
00:13:36.34\00:13:44.05
I give it back to you
00:13:44.09\00:13:46.52
I never knew
that one simple touch
00:13:51.53\00:13:58.83
Of another hand to
mine could mean so much
00:13:58.87\00:14:06.88
I never seen a miracle
00:14:06.91\00:14:10.85
With such a wonderful mystery
00:14:10.88\00:14:18.65
I never knew till that was you
00:14:22.09\00:14:27.76
Oh so precious Jesus
00:14:38.11\00:14:44.35
Because of all you do
00:14:47.38\00:14:49.72
This gift you gave me
00:14:54.76\00:15:02.36
I give it back to you
00:15:02.40\00:15:05.47
I never knew
that one simple touch
00:15:09.94\00:15:17.15
Of another hand to
mine could mean so much
00:15:17.18\00:15:24.99
I never seen a miracle
00:15:25.02\00:15:29.22
With such a wonderful mystery
00:15:29.26\00:15:37.17
I never knew till that was you
00:15:42.74\00:15:47.14
I never knew
00:15:50.65\00:15:52.11
Till that was you
00:15:57.79\00:15:59.15
Till that was you
00:16:13.13\00:16:16.40
Oh, beautiful,
that's a two hander.
00:16:20.98\00:16:22.81
That is, praise the Lord.
00:16:22.84\00:16:24.48
I'm grateful for the
gift. Grateful for the gift.
00:16:24.51\00:16:26.58
Beautiful baby
girl, beautiful baby girl.
00:16:26.61\00:16:29.05
You know, when you
hear songs like that,
00:16:29.08\00:16:31.79
it just
transport you, doesn't it?
00:16:31.82\00:16:34.16
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:16:34.19\00:16:35.52
And speaking of transporting,
00:16:35.56\00:16:37.99
the gentleman next
to me has been my friend
00:16:38.03\00:16:40.53
as I mentioned for...
00:16:40.60\00:16:42.73
I didn't
mention how long, did I?
00:16:42.76\00:16:45.53
Really, or Jason's 29 and
I know you before him so...
00:16:45.57\00:16:48.90
I was excited to meet you
00:16:48.94\00:16:50.61
because I've
heard so much about you.
00:16:50.67\00:16:52.91
According to her the sun
rises and sets on Dennis.
00:16:52.94\00:16:56.61
So we are finding that out now.
00:16:56.64\00:16:58.25
She loves me, she
is my wonderful friend.
00:16:58.28\00:17:00.68
Yes, yes, like his big sis.
00:17:00.75\00:17:02.88
And Dennis has sung
with so many people.
00:17:02.92\00:17:06.55
Tell us some of the
people you sung with, Dennis?
00:17:06.59\00:17:08.49
Well, I'll go back and say this,
00:17:08.52\00:17:10.06
that's where we met.
00:17:10.09\00:17:11.43
We were both
working in New York...
00:17:11.46\00:17:12.79
Sang with Yvonne Lewis.
00:17:12.83\00:17:14.13
Singing with Yvonne Lewis
00:17:14.20\00:17:15.53
and working on
recording sessions
00:17:15.56\00:17:17.57
and TV shows and
traveling the world and,
00:17:17.60\00:17:20.74
but the thing that
brought us together was that
00:17:20.77\00:17:23.27
we were both
brought up in the church,
00:17:23.30\00:17:25.97
and so a lot of
people say things like,
00:17:26.01\00:17:28.98
you know, you
shouldn't be in that business
00:17:29.01\00:17:30.95
and my thing is well,
00:17:30.98\00:17:32.65
what business are you in
and is it a Christian business?
00:17:32.68\00:17:35.12
Okay, come on, that's right.
00:17:35.15\00:17:36.48
And so that people
stop and say, okay, well,
00:17:36.52\00:17:37.85
I guess that make sense
00:17:37.89\00:17:39.22
because we know we're
suppose to be everywhere
00:17:39.25\00:17:41.16
bringing light to the world.
00:17:41.19\00:17:42.52
So that's how we got together...
00:17:42.56\00:17:44.13
And we would have some
wonderful times, Bible studies,
00:17:44.16\00:17:46.43
it might go till two
or three in the morning.
00:17:46.46\00:17:48.66
With all kinds of our
friends in the business
00:17:48.70\00:17:50.93
sitting on the
floor with the Bible
00:17:50.97\00:17:53.17
and then we leave
00:17:53.20\00:17:54.54
and be in the
streets of New York
00:17:54.57\00:17:55.90
still discussing things.
00:17:55.94\00:17:57.37
So that's the
friendship by God that we have.
00:17:57.41\00:17:59.94
Amen. Amen.
00:18:00.04\00:18:01.38
So it's an honor
to be here. Amen.
00:18:01.41\00:18:03.14
Yeah, after all
this time. Yes, indeed.
00:18:03.18\00:18:05.35
Yes, indeed and we would sing
00:18:05.38\00:18:06.75
the Messiah sometimes together.
00:18:06.78\00:18:08.18
He would bring his choir over
00:18:08.22\00:18:09.62
and we sing the
Messiah so it was just...
00:18:09.65\00:18:12.12
I know, it was just
craziness and lots or fun.
00:18:12.15\00:18:15.02
All right, all
right, John, all right.
00:18:15.06\00:18:17.66
All right.
00:18:17.69\00:18:19.03
What are you gonna
sing for us now, Den?
00:18:19.06\00:18:20.40
Well, I'm going to
sing "Oh, Holy Night."
00:18:20.43\00:18:22.50
Oh, great.
00:18:22.53\00:18:23.87
Because, you know,
00:18:23.90\00:18:25.23
once again we
think about the world
00:18:25.27\00:18:27.14
and we think about
the kingdoms of the world
00:18:27.17\00:18:29.94
and how everybody
who wants to emulate
00:18:30.01\00:18:32.94
being on top of the world
00:18:32.97\00:18:34.31
and being a king
is always, you know,
00:18:34.34\00:18:37.58
we all want to have a
fancy car and a big home
00:18:37.65\00:18:40.72
and all that grace up,
00:18:40.75\00:18:42.08
but when you think about Christ,
00:18:42.12\00:18:43.45
who put all that aside
00:18:43.49\00:18:45.42
and to go so
lowliest to be in a manger
00:18:45.45\00:18:49.76
out there in the cold at night,
00:18:49.79\00:18:51.66
while the world was still
going on doing all of its stuff,
00:18:51.69\00:18:54.93
that changed the whole world.
00:18:54.96\00:18:56.30
Amen.
00:18:56.33\00:18:57.67
So I'd like to
think about that song,
00:18:57.70\00:18:59.03
you know, the quietness,
00:18:59.07\00:19:00.67
nobody around, but
the few that were there.
00:19:00.70\00:19:03.54
So that's what
I'm going to sing.
00:19:03.57\00:19:04.91
Great, so please. All right.
00:19:04.94\00:19:06.54
Praise the Lord. Yes, indeed.
00:19:06.57\00:19:08.44
I'm excited
that he is here, Dan,
00:19:08.48\00:19:10.08
because I've told you about him.
00:19:10.11\00:19:11.45
Yeah, you have.
But now you see him.
00:19:11.48\00:19:13.28
You have and I got to hear
him practice a little bit too.
00:19:13.31\00:19:15.85
So again, I feel
so blessed to be.
00:19:15.88\00:19:18.55
Aren't you glad this
folk are on God's side?
00:19:18.59\00:19:21.19
Listen.
00:19:21.22\00:19:22.56
I mean, they
could do a lot of damage
00:19:22.59\00:19:23.96
if you all were
out in the world,
00:19:23.99\00:19:25.33
you could do a lot of
damage to the cause of God.
00:19:25.36\00:19:26.93
We praise the Lord at
each and every one of you
00:19:26.96\00:19:29.83
with all the talents and gifts
00:19:29.86\00:19:31.27
that God has given you has said,
00:19:31.30\00:19:33.03
you know what?
00:19:33.07\00:19:35.00
I'm a sinner saved by grace.
00:19:35.04\00:19:36.54
Yes.
00:19:36.57\00:19:37.91
And I'm gonna tell the world,
00:19:37.94\00:19:39.27
our greatest asset...
00:19:39.31\00:19:40.78
The greatest assets
are own personal testimony
00:19:40.81\00:19:43.01
what God has done for us.
00:19:43.04\00:19:45.31
So we are excited to
hear Dennis sing to us.
00:19:45.35\00:19:48.25
O holy night!
00:20:06.13\00:20:09.97
The stars are brightly shining
00:20:10.01\00:20:15.38
It is the night of our dear
00:20:15.41\00:20:19.58
Savior's birth!
00:20:19.61\00:20:21.62
Long lay the world
00:20:29.06\00:20:32.83
In sin and error pining
00:20:32.86\00:20:38.17
Till he appear'd and
the soul felt its worth
00:20:38.20\00:20:44.47
A thrill of hope
00:20:47.68\00:20:51.91
A weary world rejoices
00:20:51.95\00:20:56.18
For yonder breaks a
new and glorious morn!
00:20:56.22\00:21:03.19
Fall on your knees
00:21:04.96\00:21:12.90
Oh hear
00:21:12.93\00:21:16.17
The angel voices
00:21:16.20\00:21:21.34
Oh night divine
00:21:21.38\00:21:29.25
Oh night
00:21:29.28\00:21:32.92
when Christ was born
00:21:32.95\00:21:38.23
Oh night divine
00:21:38.26\00:21:46.17
Oh night
00:21:46.20\00:21:49.84
When Christ was born
00:21:49.87\00:21:53.04
Oh holy night
00:22:03.15\00:22:05.22
Fall on your knees
00:22:21.07\00:22:28.34
Oh hear
00:22:28.38\00:22:32.28
The angel voices
00:22:32.31\00:22:37.19
Oh night divine
00:22:37.25\00:22:44.86
Oh night
00:22:44.89\00:22:48.80
When Christ was born
00:22:48.83\00:22:53.97
Oh night divine
00:22:54.00\00:22:59.14
Oh night
00:23:02.61\00:23:08.35
Oh night divine
00:23:08.38\00:23:12.55
Oh night
00:23:12.59\00:23:18.13
When Christ was born
00:23:18.16\00:23:22.56
Oh night divine
00:23:33.94\00:23:38.51
All right, amen.
00:23:42.98\00:23:44.39
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:23:44.42\00:23:45.92
Oh Holy Night is one of my
00:23:45.95\00:23:47.36
absolute
favorite Christmas songs.
00:23:47.42\00:23:49.56
I know you sing it here
once in a while too, don't you?
00:23:49.59\00:23:51.96
I do, I do.
00:23:51.99\00:23:53.36
So I wonder how many times
00:23:53.40\00:23:54.96
that song has
been sung, you know,
00:23:55.00\00:23:56.93
thousands and thousands,
00:23:57.00\00:23:58.33
as hundreds of
thousands but you know what?
00:23:58.37\00:24:00.24
I never get
tired of hearing that.
00:24:00.27\00:24:01.60
I don't either.
00:24:01.64\00:24:02.97
And thank you,
Dennis, beautiful job.
00:24:03.00\00:24:04.34
Thank you, thank you.
00:24:04.37\00:24:05.71
He's got that
little smooth thing
00:24:05.74\00:24:07.08
going there with that voice.
00:24:07.11\00:24:08.44
I know, he does.
00:24:08.48\00:24:09.94
He is easy,
doesn't strain, you know,
00:24:09.98\00:24:11.91
I try to sing and I'm straining
00:24:11.95\00:24:13.55
and he just
barely open his mouth
00:24:13.62\00:24:15.55
and it's all
coming out so beautifully.
00:24:15.58\00:24:17.19
Thank you, thank
you. It's beautiful.
00:24:17.22\00:24:18.55
Yeah, what a gift
God has given you.
00:24:18.59\00:24:20.76
Singing like an angel.
00:24:20.79\00:24:22.82
Speaking of angels,
let's do a group song,
00:24:22.86\00:24:25.43
let's sing "Angels
We've Heard on High".
00:24:25.46\00:24:27.66
Okay, all right.
00:24:27.66\00:24:29.00
Brought this key.
00:24:29.03\00:24:30.93
Yeah, that's good.
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.30
Angels we have heard on high
00:24:41.88\00:24:46.45
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
00:24:46.48\00:24:50.75
And the mountains in reply
00:24:50.79\00:24:55.02
Echoing their joyous strains
00:24:55.06\00:24:59.16
Gloria, In excelsis Deo!
00:25:05.40\00:25:11.41
Gloria, In excelsis Deo!
00:25:17.48\00:25:23.72
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
00:25:27.46\00:25:31.66
Why your joyous strains prolong?
00:25:31.69\00:25:36.03
What the gladsome tidings be
00:25:36.06\00:25:40.30
Which inspire
your heav'nly song?
00:25:40.34\00:25:43.87
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
00:25:49.84\00:25:57.45
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
00:26:00.69\00:26:08.53
You better sing, Lyndon.
00:26:15.04\00:26:18.27
Is Lyndon over there cutting up?
00:26:18.31\00:26:20.18
Is he over there cutting up?
00:26:20.21\00:26:21.54
No, it was all Angela over here.
00:26:21.58\00:26:22.91
I tell you what,
00:26:25.38\00:26:26.72
it sounded
beautiful, oh, didn't it?
00:26:26.75\00:26:28.08
It does.
00:26:28.12\00:26:29.45
For no practice,
00:26:29.48\00:26:30.82
I didn't know we
are gonna do that
00:26:30.89\00:26:32.22
and I'm so glad
for teleprompters
00:26:32.25\00:26:33.59
that second verse,
00:26:33.62\00:26:34.96
I don't know if I ever
heard that before my life,
00:26:34.99\00:26:37.13
I'm just
reading it saying, what?
00:26:37.16\00:26:39.06
I didn't know this,
00:26:39.09\00:26:40.43
but hey, it fit,
you know it works.
00:26:40.50\00:26:42.36
It works, it
works. So it's all right.
00:26:42.40\00:26:45.27
One of favorite
singer is too Den,
00:26:45.30\00:26:47.50
is Neville Peter.
00:26:47.54\00:26:48.87
Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Yes.
00:26:48.90\00:26:50.87
And Neville is
going to sing for us.
00:26:50.91\00:26:53.74
John and Neville are
gonna switch places right now.
00:26:53.78\00:26:57.41
But we want to find out
00:26:57.45\00:26:58.78
a little bit about
Neville here in a minute.
00:26:58.81\00:27:00.35
Absolutely.
00:27:00.38\00:27:01.72
And he's been coming to
3ABN for many, many years
00:27:01.75\00:27:05.32
and so is Angela.
00:27:05.35\00:27:06.69
I think we got her
as just teenager maybe.
00:27:06.72\00:27:08.36
Of course, of course.
00:27:08.39\00:27:09.72
How am I doing? How am I doing?
00:27:09.76\00:27:11.09
Fresh on middle school.
00:27:11.13\00:27:13.53
And, but Neville has
been coming here long time ago
00:27:13.56\00:27:16.53
and when we heard
him singing, we said,
00:27:16.56\00:27:18.30
man this guy is so
blessed but you know what?
00:27:18.33\00:27:21.10
More than his incredible
talent is his love for Jesus.
00:27:21.14\00:27:24.67
It shines out
every where he goes
00:27:24.71\00:27:27.88
and Jesus says, "I, If I
be lifted up from this earth
00:27:27.91\00:27:30.95
will draw all men unto me."
00:27:30.98\00:27:32.75
And that's
exactly, so I love you,
00:27:32.78\00:27:35.08
we all love you here
00:27:35.12\00:27:36.48
and we are with
you a 100 percent.
00:27:36.52\00:27:38.65
We praise God that
you are using your talent
00:27:38.69\00:27:41.49
for the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:27:41.52\00:27:42.86
Amen. Yes.
00:27:42.89\00:27:44.23
Thank you so much man,
I'm really happy to be here,
00:27:44.26\00:27:46.29
it's always a
blessing to come up here
00:27:46.33\00:27:49.03
and to share the stage with,
00:27:49.06\00:27:52.63
you know, all this
wonderful people here
00:27:52.67\00:27:55.67
this evening.
00:27:55.70\00:27:57.07
I want to do a song,
00:27:57.11\00:27:58.44
this song is
called "Every Year".
00:27:58.47\00:28:01.04
It's a song that
I wrote, you know,
00:28:01.08\00:28:03.14
I do a lot of
thinking at the piano,
00:28:03.18\00:28:06.01
I was sitting and just
meditating at the piano,
00:28:06.05\00:28:08.52
it was actually
around this time of year
00:28:08.55\00:28:11.49
during the
holidays and, you know,
00:28:11.52\00:28:13.52
that this
phrase came to my mind,
00:28:13.59\00:28:16.02
and I believe it was the Lord
that put this phrase in my mind
00:28:16.06\00:28:18.99
and the phrase goes
something like this.
00:28:19.03\00:28:21.40
Every year at
Christmas time you receive me
00:28:21.43\00:28:26.17
but then God says,
but do you believe me?
00:28:26.20\00:28:28.64
All right. Okay.
00:28:28.67\00:28:30.01
I said wow, that's kind of deep,
00:28:30.04\00:28:32.54
so I sat there and I
thought about that for a second.
00:28:32.57\00:28:35.71
I sat there and I thought about
that for a second, you know,
00:28:35.74\00:28:38.01
I came to realize,
you know, this, you know,
00:28:38.05\00:28:41.18
somebody wrote a song
about this time in the year
00:28:41.22\00:28:42.85
and they said,
00:28:42.88\00:28:44.22
it's the most
wonderful time of the year
00:28:44.29\00:28:45.62
and you know it's really true.
00:28:45.65\00:28:47.36
The reason why it's
true is because again,
00:28:47.39\00:28:49.86
every time around
this time of the year,
00:28:49.89\00:28:51.63
everybody is
thinking about Jesus,
00:28:51.66\00:28:53.63
everybody is
talking about Jesus.
00:28:53.70\00:28:55.73
Everybody is
reflecting on the fact
00:28:55.76\00:28:58.40
that He came to this world.
00:28:58.43\00:28:59.77
But not everybody believes Him.
00:29:02.80\00:29:04.67
Listen.
00:29:10.18\00:29:11.51
Christmas time is here again
00:29:14.25\00:29:16.72
Can you feel it in the air?
00:29:20.19\00:29:22.96
Going home for the holidays
00:29:26.29\00:29:29.30
Spending time
with those who care
00:29:33.07\00:29:35.84
Every year at
Christmas time you receive me
00:29:39.01\00:29:44.71
Do you believe me?
00:29:47.75\00:29:49.42
Your home is filled
with warmth and cheer
00:30:03.73\00:30:07.10
With family from far and near
00:30:10.11\00:30:13.24
Singing Christmas
carols around your tree
00:30:16.51\00:30:22.72
Of a child born to set you free
00:30:22.75\00:30:26.49
But every year at
Christmas time you receive me
00:30:32.69\00:30:38.40
Do you believe me?
00:30:41.50\00:30:45.14
When Christmas
ends you send me away
00:30:45.17\00:30:51.15
But I want you to
know I came to stay
00:30:51.18\00:30:57.82
And when the
years have come and gone
00:31:02.62\00:31:04.96
Seasons change and time moves on
00:31:08.80\00:31:11.57
Will I be just another memory
00:31:14.74\00:31:17.47
Slowly fading with
your Christmas tree
00:31:20.54\00:31:24.88
Every year at
Christmas time you receive me
00:31:30.79\00:31:36.09
Do you believe me?
00:31:39.13\00:31:42.46
When Christmas
ends you send me away
00:31:42.50\00:31:48.40
But I want you to know
00:31:48.44\00:31:51.21
I came to stay
00:31:51.24\00:31:56.81
And when the years
00:31:56.88\00:31:59.55
when the years come and go
00:31:59.58\00:32:01.32
Seasons change and time moves on
00:32:05.09\00:32:07.86
Will I be just another memory
00:32:11.03\00:32:16.87
Slowly fading with
your Christmas tree
00:32:16.93\00:32:21.04
Every year at Christmas time
00:32:26.88\00:32:30.85
You receive me
00:32:30.91\00:32:35.32
But do you believe me?
00:32:35.35\00:32:39.05
Every year at Christmas time
00:32:39.09\00:32:43.09
You receive me
00:32:43.12\00:32:47.86
Do you believe me?
00:32:47.86\00:32:49.86
Amen. Amen.
00:33:06.51\00:33:07.85
Beautiful,
00:33:07.88\00:33:09.22
Neville, I wonder if
you are professional,
00:33:09.25\00:33:11.02
so I want to throw
something at you here,
00:33:11.05\00:33:13.15
we didn't even
talked to him about it.
00:33:13.19\00:33:15.19
Why you are there,
just play another song.
00:33:15.22\00:33:17.13
I don't care if
it's a Christmas song,
00:33:17.16\00:33:18.56
I don't care what it
is, when it comes from you,
00:33:18.59\00:33:21.20
the Lord blesses
and it's gonna be good.
00:33:21.23\00:33:23.37
You choose
something, any, any, any...
00:33:23.43\00:33:25.50
Man, you really put
me on the spot, brother.
00:33:25.53\00:33:28.77
There is a thanksgiving
song or some Easter song,
00:33:28.80\00:33:31.57
I don't care what it is,
00:33:31.61\00:33:32.94
just sing us something
and bless our socks off,
00:33:32.97\00:33:35.58
what do you for us?
00:33:35.61\00:33:37.25
Well, okay,
00:33:37.31\00:33:39.98
this is how I'm
gonna set this song,
00:33:40.02\00:33:42.75
I love to think
about the second coming.
00:33:42.78\00:33:45.45
All right.
00:33:45.49\00:33:46.82
And I just love
meditating on the fact that,
00:33:46.86\00:33:50.49
especially around this
time of year because, you know,
00:33:50.53\00:33:53.16
when we think about
Christmas, we say, you know,
00:33:53.19\00:33:56.60
Christ came but, you know,
00:33:56.63\00:33:58.80
He came so He could came again.
00:33:58.83\00:34:00.24
Yes. All right.
00:34:00.27\00:34:01.60
That's the
purpose for Him coming.
00:34:01.64\00:34:02.97
Yeah.
00:34:03.00\00:34:04.34
And, you know a
lot of us right now,
00:34:04.37\00:34:06.27
we look around our world,
00:34:06.31\00:34:07.64
you know, there is
a lot of uncertainty.
00:34:07.68\00:34:09.94
And we know that
before Jesus comes,
00:34:09.98\00:34:15.78
it's gonna be a
lot of fake Christs.
00:34:15.82\00:34:18.09
And Jesus Himself
said it, He said, you know,
00:34:18.12\00:34:21.02
"When you see, you know,
00:34:21.06\00:34:22.76
when you hear
them say, you know,
00:34:22.79\00:34:24.86
go to the desert, you know,
00:34:24.89\00:34:27.96
don't go because
I'm not there..."
00:34:27.96\00:34:30.03
That's right.
00:34:30.07\00:34:31.40
And I wrote a little song
about it, I want to share it.
00:34:31.43\00:34:32.87
Okay.
00:34:32.90\00:34:34.24
When Christ comes
00:34:50.05\00:34:52.15
Heaven will be empty for a while
00:34:52.19\00:34:55.39
Not even angels up there
00:34:55.42\00:34:58.13
when Christ comes
00:34:58.16\00:34:59.66
On a chariot of fire in the sky
00:34:59.69\00:35:03.03
Take one more look if you
dare when the mountains fall
00:35:03.06\00:35:09.64
Into the sea
00:35:09.67\00:35:13.11
Planet earth is
really no place to be
00:35:13.14\00:35:21.02
When Christ comes
00:35:21.05\00:35:22.68
As a king in
royal garments white
00:35:22.72\00:35:25.99
There will be no hiding place
00:35:26.02\00:35:28.42
when Christ comes
00:35:28.46\00:35:30.83
Many will be
running from the light
00:35:30.86\00:35:33.53
They cannot look at His
face when the sky unfolds
00:35:33.60\00:35:39.83
Just like a scroll
00:35:39.87\00:35:43.27
He will come and rescue
me and everyone will see
00:35:43.30\00:35:48.74
So don't go
00:35:51.75\00:35:53.98
when they say He
is in the dessert
00:35:54.02\00:35:56.22
Or in an apparition on the wall
00:35:56.25\00:35:59.12
Don't go when they
tell you come and see Him
00:35:59.15\00:36:03.89
In some secret place
00:36:03.96\00:36:06.59
Yes, He is coming
Second time around
00:36:06.63\00:36:11.67
And His feet
won't touch the ground
00:36:11.70\00:36:13.97
When Christ comes
Will you be able to stand
00:36:19.81\00:36:24.88
On that day when he
appears When Christ comes
00:36:24.91\00:36:29.05
To redeem with His
righteous right hand
00:36:29.08\00:36:32.22
Are we all willing to
hear and obey His will
00:36:32.25\00:36:37.69
They walk on Zion's hell
00:36:37.73\00:36:41.40
And rise to meet Him
up in the air my friend
00:36:41.43\00:36:45.93
Will you be there
00:36:45.97\00:36:49.77
So don't go
00:36:49.80\00:36:51.81
When they say He
is in the dessert
00:36:51.84\00:36:53.88
Or in an apparition on the wall
00:36:53.94\00:36:56.81
Don't go when they
tell you come and see Him
00:36:56.85\00:37:01.35
In some secret place
00:37:01.38\00:37:03.92
Yes, He is coming
00:37:03.95\00:37:06.69
The second time around
00:37:06.72\00:37:09.09
And His feet
won't touch the ground
00:37:09.12\00:37:13.36
Don't you believe the lies
00:37:13.43\00:37:16.46
He'll be seen by every eyes
00:37:16.50\00:37:20.14
Some will live, some will die
00:37:20.17\00:37:24.54
Don't go, when they
say He is in the dessert,
00:37:24.57\00:37:28.54
Or in an apparition on the wall
00:37:28.58\00:37:31.45
Don't go when they
tell you come and see Him
00:37:31.48\00:37:36.05
In some secret place
00:37:36.08\00:37:38.69
Yes, He is coming
The second time around
00:37:38.72\00:37:43.73
And His feet
won't touch the ground
00:37:43.76\00:37:47.96
Don't go, when they
say He is in the dessert,
00:37:47.96\00:37:52.30
Or in an apparition on the wall
00:37:52.33\00:37:55.17
Don't go when they
tell you come and see Him
00:37:55.20\00:37:59.57
In some secret place
00:37:59.61\00:38:02.34
Yes, He is coming
00:38:02.38\00:38:05.01
The second time around
00:38:05.05\00:38:07.45
And His feet
won't touch the ground
00:38:07.48\00:38:10.05
Cool song. Amen.
00:38:16.69\00:38:18.16
That's awesome.
00:38:18.19\00:38:19.53
You know what? Don't go.
00:38:19.56\00:38:20.93
I was cold out here in this snow
00:38:20.96\00:38:22.26
and then he did
that and I got hot.
00:38:22.30\00:38:23.63
I thought I was in the desert.
00:38:23.67\00:38:25.00
You made me stand
like I was in the desert.
00:38:25.03\00:38:26.74
I know... Have mercy.
00:38:26.77\00:38:28.10
When he was
saying, "Don't go..."
00:38:28.14\00:38:29.64
I wanted us to answer him.
00:38:29.67\00:38:31.01
Oh, you should have.
00:38:31.04\00:38:32.37
I was thinking we
should have answered him
00:38:32.41\00:38:33.78
when he was saying don't go...
00:38:33.81\00:38:35.14
You should have,
we're having fun here today.
00:38:35.18\00:38:36.51
I know. You could answer.
00:38:36.54\00:38:37.88
I don't want to
mess him up though.
00:38:37.91\00:38:39.25
You know, what John was saying,
00:38:39.28\00:38:40.62
he leaned over and he said,
00:38:40.65\00:38:41.98
he said brilliant,
00:38:42.02\00:38:43.35
that is just
brilliant, wasn't that?
00:38:43.39\00:38:44.72
Brilliant, man. I'm a fan...
00:38:44.75\00:38:46.09
I'm a real fan.
00:38:46.12\00:38:47.46
Wasn't that great? Yes.
00:38:47.49\00:38:48.82
Here we go.
00:38:48.86\00:38:50.19
Can we go next door and record
that in the studio right here?
00:38:50.23\00:38:51.56
I know, we should, we should.
00:38:51.59\00:38:52.93
My arranger, his
head was just spinning.
00:38:52.96\00:38:54.30
I said, oh, I could do this.
00:38:54.30\00:38:55.63
Oh, I can have that.
00:38:55.66\00:38:57.00
Brilliant, brilliant, wonderful.
00:38:57.03\00:38:58.87
That was awesome.
00:38:58.90\00:39:00.30
Thank you Neville,
00:39:00.37\00:39:01.70
and Danny put
you on the spot too.
00:39:01.74\00:39:03.07
Yeah.
00:39:03.10\00:39:04.44
I'm glad, just think
we could have miss that.
00:39:04.47\00:39:06.91
I know that. I'm
glad you did that.
00:39:06.94\00:39:08.41
Be ye also ready,
00:39:08.44\00:39:09.94
he was also
ready. Be ye also ready.
00:39:09.98\00:39:11.78
That's right, in
season now, this season,
00:39:11.81\00:39:13.88
this have to be in this season.
00:39:13.95\00:39:15.28
So he was ready for that.
00:39:15.32\00:39:16.65
Speaking of brilliant...
00:39:16.69\00:39:18.02
Yes.
00:39:18.05\00:39:19.39
We got another
singer who is also...
00:39:19.42\00:39:20.76
And beautiful...
00:39:20.79\00:39:22.12
Yeah, she is
beautiful and talented...
00:39:22.16\00:39:23.49
And talented and got...
00:39:23.53\00:39:24.86
And funny. Yeah.
00:39:24.89\00:39:26.23
And but she is more
beautiful on the inside too.
00:39:26.26\00:39:27.60
And that's most important thing.
00:39:27.60\00:39:28.93
Yeah, absolutely, Angela
00:39:28.96\00:39:30.30
and I appreciate you being here
00:39:30.33\00:39:32.67
and coming and
doing what you do for God,
00:39:32.70\00:39:35.17
because you
have an unusual gift,
00:39:35.20\00:39:37.11
and I'm so thankful,
00:39:37.14\00:39:38.47
all of you guys that
you could be anywhere
00:39:38.51\00:39:39.84
you wanted in the world really.
00:39:39.87\00:39:41.21
Really.
00:39:41.24\00:39:42.58
But you've chosen to use
your gifts and your talents
00:39:42.61\00:39:44.05
and your abilities for the Lord.
00:39:44.08\00:39:46.15
Why do you do that?
00:39:46.18\00:39:47.52
You could be out
doing, why do you do that?
00:39:47.55\00:39:49.15
Why did Christ give
up everything for me?
00:39:49.18\00:39:51.32
I mean that's
the least I can do.
00:39:51.35\00:39:53.66
He is a perfect God,
00:39:53.69\00:39:55.02
left the perfect heaven
00:39:55.06\00:39:56.39
to come to an imperfect world
00:39:56.42\00:39:57.76
to save an
imperfect person like me.
00:39:57.79\00:39:59.13
Amen.
00:39:59.16\00:40:00.50
So He gave me the gift. Yeah.
00:40:00.53\00:40:01.83
Why not use it
for Him? All right.
00:40:01.86\00:40:03.20
Amen. Amen.
00:40:03.23\00:40:04.57
What are you gonna sing for us?
00:40:04.60\00:40:07.77
Who would imagine a king?
00:40:07.80\00:40:09.77
I'm thinking who
would imagine a king.
00:40:09.80\00:40:12.64
Yes, one of my favorite songs,
00:40:12.67\00:40:14.38
Whitney Houston one
of my favorite singers
00:40:14.41\00:40:16.61
recorded this
song, and as a mother,
00:40:16.64\00:40:19.45
raising children,
00:40:19.48\00:40:20.82
you never know what that
child's gonna go up to be and,
00:40:20.88\00:40:24.49
but I do know if I
followed the word of God
00:40:24.52\00:40:26.55
that says, train
up a child in a way
00:40:26.59\00:40:27.92
that he or she should go,
00:40:27.96\00:40:29.29
they would never depart from it.
00:40:29.32\00:40:30.69
So it gives me hope
but I just can imagine
00:40:30.73\00:40:33.03
Mary looking at
that child and thinking,
00:40:33.06\00:40:35.60
wow, this child
has come to save me.
00:40:35.63\00:40:38.13
Yeah. So I love this song.
00:40:38.17\00:40:40.27
I hope you'll be
blessed by it. Amen.
00:40:40.30\00:40:41.97
Beautiful.
00:40:42.00\00:40:43.84
I first saw
Angela a few years ago
00:40:43.87\00:40:48.41
on 3ABN on the parent network,
00:40:48.44\00:40:50.81
and I thought I
love the way she sings,
00:40:50.88\00:40:53.28
so I'm so glad she's
gonna be on Dare to Dream now.
00:40:53.35\00:40:55.28
Yeah, and again as we say
00:40:55.32\00:40:57.25
when you are
Christian, you know,
00:40:57.32\00:40:58.65
it's great to be
around other folk
00:40:58.69\00:41:00.09
that are happy in the Lord.
00:41:00.12\00:41:01.46
Yes.
00:41:01.49\00:41:02.82
And I mean, I love to be around
people who have a good time.
00:41:02.86\00:41:04.96
We are having a
good time here today.
00:41:04.99\00:41:06.33
Hope you are at
home, if you are not,
00:41:06.36\00:41:08.20
loosen up a little bit.
00:41:08.23\00:41:09.56
That's right.
00:41:09.60\00:41:10.93
Some of you may be
like me, white tight.
00:41:10.97\00:41:12.30
Well, loosen up a little bit.
00:41:12.33\00:41:13.70
You don't have to be tight.
00:41:13.74\00:41:15.07
Enjoy this, this is fun.
00:41:15.10\00:41:16.44
She said what? I know, I know.
00:41:16.47\00:41:17.81
And she said
what? Oh, my goodness.
00:41:17.84\00:41:19.17
And you are too
much, I love it, I love it.
00:41:19.21\00:41:22.18
All right, bless
us with your music.
00:41:22.21\00:41:23.71
Amen.
00:41:23.75\00:41:25.08
Mommies and daddies
00:41:42.40\00:41:46.53
Always believe
00:41:46.57\00:41:50.64
That their little
angels are special indeed
00:41:50.67\00:41:58.55
And you could grow up
00:41:58.58\00:42:02.68
To be anything
00:42:02.72\00:42:07.46
But who would imagine a king?
00:42:07.49\00:42:12.83
A shepherd or teacher
00:42:16.03\00:42:20.24
Is what you could be
00:42:20.30\00:42:24.54
Or maybe a fisherman
00:42:24.57\00:42:28.81
Out on the sea
00:42:28.84\00:42:32.58
Or maybe a carpenter
00:42:32.61\00:42:37.35
Building things
00:42:37.39\00:42:41.39
But who would imagine a king?
00:42:41.42\00:42:46.06
It was so clear
when the wise men arrived
00:42:50.33\00:42:57.91
And the angels were singing
00:42:57.94\00:43:02.54
Your name
00:43:02.58\00:43:06.48
That the world
would be different
00:43:06.51\00:43:11.12
For you were alive
00:43:11.15\00:43:14.89
That's why heaven
stood still to proclaim
00:43:14.92\00:43:20.53
One day an angel said quietly
00:43:24.23\00:43:32.17
That soon he would
bring something special to me
00:43:32.21\00:43:39.98
And of all of
the wonderful gifts
00:43:40.02\00:43:45.59
He could bring
00:43:45.62\00:43:49.36
Who would imagine?
00:43:49.39\00:43:53.66
Who could imagine?
00:43:53.70\00:43:57.97
Who would imagine a king?
00:43:58.00\00:44:05.97
Imagine a king?
00:44:06.01\00:44:12.41
A king, oh, yeah.
00:44:12.45\00:44:15.18
Who would imagine a king?
00:44:15.22\00:44:20.56
Born in a manger
00:44:20.59\00:44:23.43
Who would imagine a king?
00:44:23.46\00:44:28.73
Sweet little baby boy
00:44:28.76\00:44:31.47
Who would imagine a king?
00:44:31.50\00:44:38.07
Imagine a king.
00:44:38.11\00:44:41.94
Amen. Amen.
00:44:49.38\00:44:50.75
Beautiful.
00:44:50.79\00:44:52.12
Absolutely
beautiful. How beautiful.
00:44:52.15\00:44:53.49
I didn't know that song did you?
00:44:53.52\00:44:54.86
I've heard it, I've heard
it one time, it's beautiful.
00:44:54.89\00:44:56.46
All right and
that's a great song.
00:44:56.49\00:44:57.83
Dennis, you liked
that song? I love that.
00:44:57.86\00:44:59.49
I'm thinking about my children,
you know, like you said.
00:44:59.53\00:45:02.10
Well, absolutely. Beautiful.
00:45:02.13\00:45:03.97
Thank you. Beautiful.
00:45:04.00\00:45:06.20
One of the
things that, you know,
00:45:06.23\00:45:08.77
we don't often consider is like
00:45:08.80\00:45:12.17
what did we do
at Christmas time?
00:45:12.21\00:45:14.41
What's your
favorite thing that you did,
00:45:14.44\00:45:17.35
your favorite Christmas memory?
00:45:17.38\00:45:19.25
Let's kind of go
round and talk about
00:45:19.28\00:45:21.58
our favorite Christmas memories.
00:45:21.62\00:45:22.95
What's your favorite one, Dan?
00:45:22.98\00:45:24.49
Oh, I liked it all, you know,
00:45:24.52\00:45:26.09
I was young, we have big family,
00:45:26.12\00:45:27.72
we were five
kids and mom and dad
00:45:27.76\00:45:29.72
but my dad was disable,
00:45:29.76\00:45:31.09
so we were poor, so
we didn't have anything.
00:45:31.13\00:45:33.03
So what we
would do, is we would,
00:45:33.06\00:45:35.20
my brothers and
I were just kids,
00:45:35.23\00:45:36.67
we'd just put names in a
hat and you draw out a name
00:45:36.73\00:45:40.40
and that's who you got
a little present for so.
00:45:40.44\00:45:42.47
I remember my brother Ken and
I was just got in high school
00:45:42.50\00:45:45.74
and we didn't want
to buy each other gifts,
00:45:45.77\00:45:47.94
so we happen to
draw each other's name,
00:45:47.98\00:45:49.51
so we just called it even.
00:45:49.54\00:45:51.31
We shoot cans in
that way we did it in.
00:45:51.35\00:45:54.62
But it's a family
time and having folks
00:45:54.65\00:45:57.79
who love Jesus and
though we were poor,
00:45:57.82\00:46:00.29
we had a lot of
love in the house.
00:46:00.32\00:46:01.82
I wouldn't trade it.
00:46:01.86\00:46:03.19
I've seen
situations the other way round
00:46:03.22\00:46:04.99
where there is not any love,
00:46:05.03\00:46:06.43
but they seem to
have all other things,
00:46:06.46\00:46:07.86
but it's a closeness
that you bring together
00:46:07.86\00:46:10.67
and then always about
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:46:10.70\00:46:12.80
You know, our folks never let us
00:46:12.83\00:46:14.64
concentrate on the
physical things around,
00:46:14.67\00:46:17.94
but they'd always say
there is only one reason
00:46:17.97\00:46:20.38
for this season as you
know and that's Jesus Christ.
00:46:20.41\00:46:23.35
So I love it, it
brings back the warm memories,
00:46:23.38\00:46:27.78
I'm sure as all of us here.
00:46:27.82\00:46:29.82
Yes, what about you, Neville?
00:46:29.85\00:46:31.79
What was your
favorite Christmas memory?
00:46:31.82\00:46:34.26
Well, it's
interesting that you would say
00:46:34.29\00:46:36.29
that because I...
00:46:36.32\00:46:40.90
It has something to do
with my voice and with singing.
00:46:40.93\00:46:45.30
My favorite Christmas
memory was when I rediscovered
00:46:45.33\00:46:48.04
that I actually could sing
00:46:48.07\00:46:51.44
in my freshmen
year of high school.
00:46:51.47\00:46:55.58
You didn't know
until then you could sing?
00:46:55.61\00:46:58.05
When I was a kid...
00:46:58.08\00:46:59.41
Have mercy. When I was...
00:46:59.45\00:47:00.85
Maybe I'm, and hey,
it's not too late for me.
00:47:00.88\00:47:02.78
I'm starting to
get excited now here.
00:47:02.82\00:47:04.99
Maybe today I'll start singing
00:47:05.02\00:47:06.49
and it will just sound like him,
00:47:06.52\00:47:07.86
I'm realizing, maybe yeah.
00:47:07.89\00:47:10.16
Oh, when I was about...
00:47:10.19\00:47:11.53
But just got to
have patience. Sorry.
00:47:11.56\00:47:12.89
When I was about five or six,
00:47:12.93\00:47:14.23
I used to sing in church a lot
00:47:14.30\00:47:15.63
and I really enjoyed it
00:47:15.66\00:47:17.40
but I got tease from my friends,
00:47:17.47\00:47:18.80
you know, they...
00:47:18.83\00:47:20.17
Oh.
00:47:20.20\00:47:21.54
So I stopped for a long time.
00:47:21.57\00:47:23.61
I just never sang, you know,
00:47:23.64\00:47:25.64
and so when I
came to high school now
00:47:25.67\00:47:30.18
and I'm a
freshman in high school,
00:47:30.25\00:47:33.25
I on a whim just decided that
00:47:33.28\00:47:35.05
I would sing silent night
00:47:35.08\00:47:36.52
at the Christmas
program and so I did.
00:47:36.55\00:47:39.79
And I was really like
amazed that the response
00:47:39.82\00:47:44.26
that I got because all I,
00:47:44.33\00:47:45.73
you know, I
remembered being teased like.
00:47:45.76\00:47:48.40
So once I got that response
I was like, you know what?
00:47:48.43\00:47:51.10
This might be a
good career option.
00:47:51.13\00:47:54.20
This could be a good
career option for me.
00:47:54.24\00:47:56.47
So had I not
had that experience,
00:47:56.50\00:47:58.71
I probably might have
not even been here today.
00:47:58.74\00:48:00.74
So that's probably my
favorite Christmas memory.
00:48:00.81\00:48:02.38
Oh, it's great. Wonderful.
00:48:02.41\00:48:03.78
Oh, great. Thanks.
00:48:03.81\00:48:05.15
Shirley, what about you?
00:48:05.18\00:48:06.98
Oh, my, well,
00:48:07.05\00:48:08.95
my favorite memories
have to do with spending time
00:48:08.98\00:48:15.79
with my dad
00:48:15.82\00:48:18.96
and with him and my siblings,
00:48:18.99\00:48:21.96
we spend our holiday
Christmas time giving.
00:48:22.00\00:48:27.74
Daddy is no longer
with us, he's deceased,
00:48:27.77\00:48:33.07
but that memory lives on and so,
00:48:33.11\00:48:36.04
this time of the year is
particularly special for me
00:48:36.08\00:48:39.78
as I recount,
relived those moments,
00:48:39.81\00:48:43.05
you know, we traveled often,
00:48:43.08\00:48:44.65
he was a missionary and we,
00:48:44.69\00:48:47.56
wherever we went,
00:48:47.59\00:48:49.29
this was what we
did during this time
00:48:49.32\00:48:53.70
and I continue to do that,
so that's my special place.
00:48:53.73\00:48:57.90
Oh, that's great.
00:48:57.93\00:48:59.37
John?
00:48:59.40\00:49:00.80
Well, my biggest
Christmas memories
00:49:00.87\00:49:03.34
or favorite Christmas
memories surround music,
00:49:03.37\00:49:05.54
of course, I'm like Neville,
00:49:05.57\00:49:07.04
but I remember, anybody
remember record players?
00:49:07.11\00:49:09.34
Oh, yes.
00:49:09.38\00:49:11.85
There were certain
records that only came out
00:49:11.88\00:49:14.68
at Christmas time.
00:49:14.72\00:49:16.05
So I would always look
forward to those times,
00:49:16.08\00:49:18.12
the old Big Bang Records,
00:49:18.15\00:49:19.49
we listen to our big
bang music in my house
00:49:19.52\00:49:21.02
so that was special.
00:49:21.06\00:49:22.42
And we did something,
00:49:22.46\00:49:24.06
did anybody else
decorate your house
00:49:24.09\00:49:27.40
with the Christmas
cards from the previous year?
00:49:27.46\00:49:29.30
Is that just me? Okay.
00:49:29.33\00:49:30.67
From the previous year?
00:49:30.70\00:49:32.03
From the previous year,
so my mother would collect
00:49:32.07\00:49:33.57
whenever we
received Christmas card,
00:49:33.64\00:49:35.34
she would keep
them and then, yeah,
00:49:35.37\00:49:37.31
we lived in this little
row house in Philadelphia
00:49:37.34\00:49:39.87
and she would decorate
the arches by taping up...
00:49:39.91\00:49:42.51
Okay.
00:49:42.54\00:49:43.88
You know, that was
part of the decorations
00:49:43.95\00:49:45.28
along with the
other decorations.
00:49:45.31\00:49:46.65
But that just
always stood out to me
00:49:46.68\00:49:48.15
because I though that
was such a unique thing.
00:49:48.18\00:49:50.02
So those were two of the
things that stood out for me.
00:49:50.09\00:49:52.42
Oh, that's great.
00:49:52.45\00:49:53.79
Growing after the Christmas.
00:49:53.86\00:49:55.19
Lyndon?
00:49:55.22\00:49:56.56
Oh, you know,
what I'm gonna say.
00:49:56.59\00:49:57.93
Mine revolves around food.
00:49:57.96\00:49:59.29
Food. Yeah.
00:49:59.33\00:50:00.66
My mom used to make
the best orange rolls.
00:50:02.53\00:50:05.40
But now that I am getting older,
00:50:05.43\00:50:08.34
I just had my
daughter and then my son,
00:50:08.37\00:50:11.61
so those Christmas
memories are just like
00:50:11.64\00:50:15.11
solidified in my mind
00:50:15.14\00:50:16.71
more than ever,
than any other memory
00:50:16.75\00:50:18.78
just having my kids.
00:50:18.81\00:50:20.38
Oh, that's great.
00:50:20.42\00:50:22.18
Angela, what about you?
00:50:22.22\00:50:23.55
I've the piggy bag off of Lyndon
00:50:23.59\00:50:24.92
'cause I love decent food.
00:50:24.95\00:50:26.29
Okay. Yeah.
00:50:26.32\00:50:27.66
And as a child I remember
me, my mom and my sister,
00:50:27.69\00:50:30.69
we will be in the kitchen
00:50:30.73\00:50:32.06
all night the night before
Christmas baking palm cake,
00:50:32.09\00:50:35.40
that's my specialty,
00:50:35.43\00:50:36.80
she taught me my southern roots.
00:50:36.83\00:50:38.17
All right.
00:50:38.20\00:50:39.53
All right. All right.
00:50:39.57\00:50:40.90
And corn bread stuff. Oh.
00:50:40.94\00:50:42.27
Look at her, she's living it...
00:50:42.30\00:50:43.64
You can't cheat, you
got to start from scratch.
00:50:43.67\00:50:46.61
But no,
Christmas was about good,
00:50:46.64\00:50:49.38
that comfort food
as well as singing.
00:50:49.41\00:50:52.28
My mom and my sister and myself,
00:50:52.31\00:50:54.52
we sang in the trio,
00:50:54.55\00:50:55.88
and so it was always
singing those carols,
00:50:55.92\00:50:58.49
and getting back to the roots,
00:50:58.52\00:51:00.36
the traditional way of
singing and it was great.
00:51:00.39\00:51:02.86
I remember good food,
00:51:02.89\00:51:04.23
good music and just good times.
00:51:04.26\00:51:06.59
Oh, that's great.
00:51:06.63\00:51:07.96
Den, what about you?
00:51:07.96\00:51:09.76
See my mom passed
away two years ago at 92,
00:51:09.80\00:51:13.44
that ain't bad,
she made it to 92
00:51:13.50\00:51:15.24
and just a
memories of the family
00:51:15.27\00:51:18.31
always being
together, my grandmother,
00:51:18.34\00:51:20.48
my aunts, my uncles
00:51:20.54\00:51:22.54
and I'm grateful to say
that I'm from a Christian family
00:51:22.58\00:51:26.31
because recently I
found, I went back to Detroit,
00:51:26.35\00:51:29.48
I came back and I
found this picture
00:51:29.52\00:51:32.39
that my mother had and it was,
00:51:32.42\00:51:34.46
let's see, maybe 300 little kids
00:51:34.49\00:51:37.29
sitting in Sunday school
00:51:37.33\00:51:40.80
and in the very back at the room
00:51:40.86\00:51:42.36
was my mom holding me.
00:51:42.40\00:51:44.10
Okay. All right.
00:51:44.13\00:51:45.70
So just those, just those times
00:51:45.73\00:51:48.80
with my family
always being together.
00:51:48.84\00:51:50.24
Yeah.
00:51:50.27\00:51:51.61
Yeah, we would do, we
cook, we go to church and just,
00:51:51.64\00:51:53.71
you know, just the
family being together,
00:51:53.74\00:51:55.48
and the other
thing on the other note,
00:51:55.51\00:51:58.21
the chipmunks singing
the great Christmas song.
00:51:58.25\00:52:01.32
Christmas,
Christmas time is here.
00:52:01.35\00:52:02.88
Oh, my God, that
did it to me. Yes.
00:52:02.92\00:52:07.26
Oh, that's good, that's good.
00:52:07.29\00:52:08.62
Yvonne? I have a couple.
00:52:08.66\00:52:11.26
One was the
family thing of course,
00:52:11.29\00:52:14.76
'cause that's
when my whole family
00:52:14.83\00:52:17.07
lived in one complex
00:52:17.13\00:52:19.33
when I was growing
up in Queens, New York
00:52:19.37\00:52:21.54
and when I was, till
I was about 10 and so,
00:52:21.57\00:52:25.04
we would get together
and there would be music
00:52:25.07\00:52:27.54
and of course, food
'cause I'm a foodie too.
00:52:27.58\00:52:29.84
And the other
thing was my grandmother.
00:52:29.88\00:52:32.68
Christmas time for me,
00:52:32.71\00:52:34.18
my grandmother would
always do excerpts from Messiah.
00:52:34.22\00:52:38.12
And so every Christmas I
just love hearing the Messiah
00:52:38.15\00:52:42.09
because it reminds me of her,
and Dennis and I used to sing.
00:52:42.12\00:52:44.69
Sometimes we would get
together and just take a score
00:52:44.73\00:52:47.50
and just sing the Messiah
like on the Friday night.
00:52:47.56\00:52:50.20
It was just, it's so to me,
00:52:50.23\00:52:52.47
just this time of year
00:52:52.50\00:52:54.07
when we really think about Jesus
00:52:54.10\00:52:56.00
and really zero in on
the fact that He came,
00:52:56.04\00:53:00.48
as Angela just said
earlier to this earth,
00:53:00.51\00:53:03.58
here from
paradise, He came for us.
00:53:03.65\00:53:06.65
So my memories have to
do with food and music.
00:53:06.72\00:53:11.42
Yvonne, we've traded
stories in the background.
00:53:11.45\00:53:15.19
Mine, we were raise poor,
she was Leave it to Beaver.
00:53:15.22\00:53:18.46
Any of you remember the show.
00:53:18.49\00:53:19.86
Remember the show
Leave it to Beaver.
00:53:19.89\00:53:21.90
We had seven
people in two bedrooms,
00:53:21.93\00:53:25.13
she had four
people in five bedrooms
00:53:25.17\00:53:28.84
or something
like that, you know.
00:53:28.87\00:53:30.71
And two kids in five bedrooms
and we have five with two.
00:53:30.77\00:53:33.84
Anyway we just,
00:53:33.88\00:53:35.21
something about that
didn't sound right...
00:53:35.24\00:53:36.58
Oh, my goodness.
00:53:36.61\00:53:37.95
But she had to
Leave it to Beaver.
00:53:37.98\00:53:39.41
Did any of you folks,
00:53:39.45\00:53:40.78
you ever go Christmas caroling
00:53:40.82\00:53:42.15
when you growing
up your churches...
00:53:42.18\00:53:43.55
Now we used to go all
the time but we would take
00:53:43.59\00:53:46.25
'cause it gets cold
here in Southern Illinois
00:53:46.29\00:53:48.19
so we would take
reel to reel recorders.
00:53:48.22\00:53:50.63
Now you remember
those too, right?
00:53:50.69\00:53:52.03
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:53:52.06\00:53:53.40
Take little reel to reel
00:53:53.43\00:53:54.73
and they would take
them and put them in,
00:53:54.76\00:53:56.10
they plug it in and
use it off for battery
00:53:56.13\00:53:58.07
and put a little
horn on the car...
00:53:58.10\00:53:59.43
Yeah, that's right.
00:53:59.47\00:54:00.87
So that we
covered all the towns,
00:54:00.94\00:54:02.57
Benld and West
Frankfort and all those.
00:54:02.60\00:54:04.37
We'd start like
right after Thanksgiving
00:54:04.41\00:54:06.68
and we go Christmas caroling
00:54:06.71\00:54:08.38
and so that was
a good memory too.
00:54:08.41\00:54:11.05
Now for some of us like my
brothers didn't want to go,
00:54:11.08\00:54:13.62
so my folks gave them option,
00:54:13.65\00:54:15.32
you want to go or
you want to whopping,
00:54:15.35\00:54:16.69
you know, so at first night
00:54:16.72\00:54:19.19
they refused and took
the whopping and by then,
00:54:19.22\00:54:22.16
it was my dad
was pretty good at,
00:54:22.19\00:54:23.83
he knew how to,
he wouldn't spank
00:54:23.86\00:54:25.26
and or whipping as whopping.
00:54:25.29\00:54:26.63
Whooping
00:54:26.70\00:54:28.00
There is a difference
in case you don't know,
00:54:28.03\00:54:29.36
some of you know,
00:54:29.40\00:54:30.83
but after that he
decide to go Christmas camp.
00:54:30.87\00:54:33.70
But I loved it and it was fun.
00:54:33.74\00:54:35.07
In fact we would raise all that,
00:54:35.10\00:54:37.27
try to see houses lid up
00:54:37.31\00:54:38.81
'cause we try to
get the most money,
00:54:38.84\00:54:40.44
we made competition.
00:54:40.48\00:54:41.81
It wasn't for us,
00:54:41.84\00:54:43.18
we've always given
for the church dinner,
00:54:43.21\00:54:44.55
everybody in the community,
in the cities around knew,
00:54:44.58\00:54:47.38
when the Christmas time come
Seventh-day Adventist church,
00:54:47.42\00:54:49.88
they are gonna be out
there, taking up funds
00:54:49.92\00:54:51.72
and we would do
at King's Heralds,
00:54:51.75\00:54:53.15
I think was, was singing
on those reel to reel tapes.
00:54:53.19\00:54:55.99
And once in a
while we would get out
00:54:56.02\00:54:57.39
and try to sing if it
wasn't snow on or cold
00:54:57.43\00:54:59.76
or too windy, you know,
00:54:59.79\00:55:01.16
go to the doors and people have,
00:55:01.20\00:55:02.53
all are those are
just great memories
00:55:02.56\00:55:04.53
when you look back.
00:55:04.57\00:55:06.47
Yeah, it's so good to
think about, you know,
00:55:06.50\00:55:09.04
where we've come from,
00:55:09.07\00:55:10.41
where God has
brought us thus far
00:55:10.44\00:55:12.77
and also know that
00:55:12.81\00:55:14.18
God's got a plan for each of us.
00:55:14.21\00:55:16.11
And you need to know
that God has a plan for you.
00:55:16.14\00:55:19.81
We talk about it all
the time on Dare to Dream
00:55:19.85\00:55:22.52
but at this time of
the year really consider
00:55:22.55\00:55:25.15
what God has done in your life
00:55:25.19\00:55:26.79
and the amazing sacrifice
00:55:26.86\00:55:28.59
that he has made on
your behalf just for you.
00:55:28.62\00:55:32.39
And when you think about
that and you just, it just,
00:55:32.43\00:55:35.86
actually, you know,
they have studies that show
00:55:35.90\00:55:37.93
that the brain
actually lights up
00:55:37.97\00:55:40.40
when we start
thinking about God.
00:55:40.44\00:55:42.90
And so when we contemplate
His greatness, our minds,
00:55:42.94\00:55:46.64
actually our
brains literally change.
00:55:46.68\00:55:49.41
We need to really think
about the goodness of God.
00:55:49.44\00:55:52.18
I talked to
someone just yesterday
00:55:52.21\00:55:53.78
and they were
talking about the past
00:55:53.82\00:55:55.85
and I said, I'm more
interested in the future
00:55:55.88\00:55:58.02
than I'm on the past
'cause we all don't have,
00:55:58.05\00:56:00.49
you know, we
can look at the past
00:56:00.52\00:56:01.99
but I like there is a statement
by lady name Ellen White,
00:56:02.02\00:56:05.73
and she says we have
nothing to fear for the future
00:56:05.76\00:56:08.13
if we just look back to the past
00:56:08.16\00:56:09.50
to see where God has led us.
00:56:09.53\00:56:10.87
Amen. Amen.
00:56:10.90\00:56:12.23
So when we look at the
future, it's very bright.
00:56:12.27\00:56:13.64
Yes.
00:56:13.67\00:56:15.00
In fact could we say
it's out of this world, right?
00:56:15.04\00:56:16.54
Come on, come on, I like it.
00:56:16.57\00:56:18.11
And I love it
because people get,
00:56:18.14\00:56:19.61
yeah, thank you.
00:56:19.64\00:56:20.98
People get just
little organ over here
00:56:21.01\00:56:24.38
and but people get discourage,
00:56:24.41\00:56:26.51
you know, Christians and I
say we shouldn't be discouraged,
00:56:26.55\00:56:29.05
we should be the happiest,
00:56:29.08\00:56:30.42
most excited people on
the face of planet earth.
00:56:30.49\00:56:32.39
Yes.
00:56:32.42\00:56:33.76
So I've said this
before but I say it again,
00:56:33.79\00:56:35.62
I tell people it's like you,
people go to the book store,
00:56:35.66\00:56:38.83
they buy this book and
they read the back of it,
00:56:38.86\00:56:41.06
and it says, John and
Mary rode off into the sunset
00:56:41.10\00:56:43.33
happily ever after.
00:56:43.37\00:56:44.87
Now it's 200
pages long, 100 page in,
00:56:44.90\00:56:47.67
you are reading it,
00:56:47.70\00:56:49.04
John and Mary they
were riding on a horses,
00:56:49.07\00:56:51.01
they fell off because
we ride horses around here.
00:56:51.04\00:56:53.07
They fell off a cliff
00:56:53.11\00:56:54.48
and they are hanging on a cliff,
00:56:54.51\00:56:55.84
it's 2000 feet down,
00:56:55.88\00:56:57.51
looks like there
is no getting out.
00:56:57.55\00:56:59.25
But you don't get
discourage and say,
00:56:59.28\00:57:00.95
oh, no John and
Mary is gonna die, why?
00:57:00.98\00:57:03.75
'Cause you read
the back of the book.
00:57:03.82\00:57:05.62
So in our own
Christian life with the Lord
00:57:05.65\00:57:08.26
no matter where we are,
00:57:08.29\00:57:09.62
we've read the back of the book.
00:57:09.66\00:57:10.99
Revelation says
and they overcame him
00:57:11.03\00:57:13.06
by the blood of the lamb...
00:57:13.09\00:57:14.40
And the word of the testimony.
00:57:14.46\00:57:15.76
Yes.
00:57:15.80\00:57:17.17
So we should be
happy and excited
00:57:17.20\00:57:18.63
and people have to know it.
00:57:18.67\00:57:20.34
When they see Jesus in
us, that's what they want.
00:57:20.37\00:57:22.84
None of us have
anything to offer of ourselves,
00:57:22.87\00:57:25.34
but through Jesus Christ,
00:57:25.37\00:57:27.38
and that's amazing to me that
He can use frail human agent.
00:57:27.41\00:57:30.88
He doesn't need
us to save anybody.
00:57:30.95\00:57:32.65
We can't cave anybody, right?
00:57:32.68\00:57:34.22
That's right.
00:57:34.25\00:57:35.58
But the honor
and the blessing is
00:57:35.62\00:57:36.95
He's willing to use
us for our own salvation.
00:57:36.99\00:57:40.26
That way I'm not
just worried about me,
00:57:40.29\00:57:41.79
myself and I, right?
00:57:41.82\00:57:43.22
But otherwise you get
too caught up in your own...
00:57:43.26\00:57:45.39
But now you understand,
hey, he said your own,
00:57:45.43\00:57:48.40
you know, our
own personal asset,
00:57:48.43\00:57:50.53
our greatest assets
is our own testimonies
00:57:50.57\00:57:52.97
what Jesus had done for us.
00:57:53.00\00:57:54.70
So He said, go ye
into all the world.
00:57:54.74\00:57:57.17
The blessing of God
for those of you at home,
00:57:57.21\00:57:59.27
the blessing of
God, don't sit around,
00:57:59.31\00:58:01.04
feel sorry for yourself...
00:58:01.08\00:58:02.41
The blessing of
God is on the go.
00:58:02.44\00:58:04.55
Go ye into all the world.
00:58:04.58\00:58:06.01
When you go, God
will open the waters,
00:58:06.05\00:58:08.08
part the waters,
they rules army be behind,
00:58:08.12\00:58:10.42
your mountains on either side,
00:58:10.45\00:58:11.89
you step into the
water, the waters of faith
00:58:11.92\00:58:14.19
and you watch what
God wants to do for you,
00:58:14.22\00:58:16.02
something great, and mighty,
00:58:16.06\00:58:17.39
and marvelous when you
come in the name of the Lord.
00:58:17.46\00:58:19.59
Amen. Amen.
00:58:19.63\00:58:22.03
See I love how you do that. Wow.
00:58:22.06\00:58:24.83
Don't embarrass
me now, you know.
00:58:24.87\00:58:27.44
What a
blessing. What a blessing.
00:58:27.47\00:58:29.64
Lyndon, we haven't
heard from you yet.
00:58:29.67\00:58:31.61
Oh, that's okay. No, no, no.
00:58:31.64\00:58:33.71
There is so much talent
that needs to be on Magnify Him.
00:58:33.78\00:58:37.78
That is not okay,
00:58:37.81\00:58:39.48
one of the world's
greatest singers right him,
00:58:39.51\00:58:41.32
we give God the credit for it.
00:58:41.35\00:58:42.68
Praise the Lord. Amen.
00:58:42.72\00:58:44.09
And the musician too. Amen.
00:58:44.12\00:58:45.45
Not just singer,
a great musician.
00:58:45.49\00:58:46.82
Thank you.
00:58:46.86\00:58:48.19
You gonna sing for
us, the angel song?
00:58:48.22\00:58:49.56
I'm going to
sing, I walk over here,
00:58:49.59\00:58:52.13
I'm gonna sing a
song that I wrote
00:58:52.16\00:58:54.56
and it's along the lines of what
00:58:54.60\00:58:55.93
we were talking
about pretty much.
00:58:55.96\00:58:57.33
I am, I wish I
could be back in that day
00:58:57.37\00:59:00.67
when the angel
saying to the shepherds.
00:59:00.70\00:59:04.77
And glory to God in the highest,
00:59:04.81\00:59:06.31
that must have been spectacular.
00:59:06.34\00:59:08.21
You know, and we
will get to see that,
00:59:08.24\00:59:11.35
just like what you say
00:59:11.38\00:59:12.71
'cause Jesus is
coming back again, so...
00:59:12.75\00:59:14.08
Yes, He is.
00:59:14.15\00:59:15.48
That's what I'm gonna
sing as I walk over here.
00:59:15.52\00:59:16.85
It just says glory
to God in the highest.
00:59:16.89\00:59:19.75
They came from everywhere
to see the new born babe
00:59:35.97\00:59:40.68
They would call a King
00:59:40.71\00:59:45.45
Prophesied to be the one
00:59:45.48\00:59:47.92
From a virgin He would come
00:59:47.95\00:59:51.42
God's only he's son
00:59:51.45\00:59:55.39
A star led the way
to the cradle in the hay
00:59:55.42\01:00:00.33
As you heard great joy
01:00:00.40\01:00:05.20
Proclaiming the good news
01:00:05.23\01:00:07.54
That a counselor was born
01:00:07.60\01:00:09.90
Who was wonderful
01:00:09.97\01:00:14.41
Hear the angels sing
01:00:14.44\01:00:19.98
Glory to God in the highest
01:00:20.02\01:00:24.82
Glory to God in the highest
01:00:24.85\01:00:29.79
Peace on earth He has brought us
01:00:29.82\01:00:33.86
For He is the savior
01:00:33.90\01:00:37.03
Of the world
01:00:37.10\01:00:43.54
Like the angels gave him praise
01:00:43.57\01:00:46.71
I got to praise Him too
01:00:46.74\01:00:48.91
'Cause He changed my life
01:00:48.94\01:00:52.85
I got a song to sing
01:00:52.88\01:00:55.58
'Cause my song has been redeemed
01:00:55.62\01:00:58.05
I can testify
01:00:58.09\01:01:02.46
That all glory goes to Him
01:01:02.49\01:01:05.29
The honor goes to Him
01:01:05.33\01:01:07.40
I've been made new
01:01:07.40\01:01:11.73
'Cause I gave my heart to Him
01:01:11.77\01:01:14.67
I put my trust in Him
01:01:14.70\01:01:16.87
I can't wait for that day
01:01:16.91\01:01:21.18
I can see Him and seeing

For He is the
savior of the world
01:01:57.41\01:02:03.72
A Son was given for the world
01:02:07.56\01:02:12.56
Glory to God in the highest
01:02:24.64\01:02:29.04
Peace on earth He has brought us
01:02:29.08\01:02:32.71
For He is the
savior of the world

Peace on earth He has brought us
01:02:46.39\01:02:51.10
For He is the
savior of the world
01:02:51.13\01:02:58.34
He is the savior of the world.
01:03:02.01\01:03:09.95
Amen. Amen.
01:03:13.09\01:03:15.46
Praise the Lord. Amen.
01:03:15.49\01:03:17.83
Beautiful, absolutely
beautiful and he wrote this song
01:03:17.86\01:03:22.53
and how long ago
did you write it?
01:03:22.56\01:03:24.87
Just a couple of weeks ago.
01:03:24.90\01:03:26.23
Oh, couple of weeks ago. He did.
01:03:26.27\01:03:28.34
I need to run
back to the office,
01:03:28.37\01:03:29.90
I think I was
getting ready to write it.
01:03:29.97\01:03:31.91
That was, you should
at least share it with me
01:03:31.94\01:03:34.94
'cause that's just
what I was gonna write.
01:03:34.98\01:03:37.21
I had, Dennis, I hadn't had time
01:03:37.25\01:03:38.68
to get around to it yet.
01:03:38.71\01:03:40.08
I know what it was.
01:03:40.12\01:03:41.45
Yeah, took my
song from me, John.
01:03:41.48\01:03:43.02
How about that?
That's all right.
01:03:43.05\01:03:44.39
We'll let you have,
isn't that gorgeous?
01:03:44.42\01:03:46.35
Oh, the control too... Yeah.
01:03:46.39\01:03:50.69
In fact, all the talent here,
01:03:50.73\01:03:52.06
I'm just so
thankful for all of you,
01:03:52.09\01:03:54.23
'cause it's just phenomenal
01:03:54.30\01:03:56.50
and we hope that you
are being blessed as well
01:03:56.53\01:03:59.10
and that some of these
songs you can sing along with,
01:03:59.13\01:04:01.27
like the one we
are getting ready to do
01:04:01.30\01:04:03.04
"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,"
01:04:03.07\01:04:04.41
John, would you play
it for it? I sure would.
01:04:04.44\01:04:06.17
Speaking of all the talent,
01:04:06.21\01:04:07.58
where's your name
on this little list?
01:04:07.61\01:04:09.14
Are you singing today? No.
01:04:09.18\01:04:11.11
You should be singing
today. Well, now wait a minute.
01:04:11.15\01:04:13.15
Now where's your name?
01:04:13.18\01:04:14.78
No, I can't hang
with these folks.
01:04:14.82\01:04:16.92
No, no.
01:04:16.99\01:04:18.32
I'll sing in the group,
Yvonne, and those of you at home
01:04:18.35\01:04:19.99
they should sing with us, right?
01:04:20.06\01:04:21.39
Yes, join in and sing

Peace on earth, and mercy mild
01:04:47.48\01:04:51.82
God and sinners reconciled

Yes. All right.

All right, John.

Come where the

01:06:50.51\01:06:56.48
Shine all around
us by day and by night
01:06:56.51\01:07:02.78
Jesus, the light of the world
01:07:02.82\01:07:09.02
Jesus, the light of the world.
01:07:09.06\01:07:15.46
Hallelujah.
01:07:20.47\01:07:21.80
That was beautiful, I
have never sung that before,
01:07:21.84\01:07:23.61
that must be, that's...
01:07:23.64\01:07:25.17
That's a Dare to Dream version.
Can white people sing it too?
01:07:25.21\01:07:27.68
Well, you just sang it.
That was fun, that was fun.
01:07:27.71\01:07:30.55
I like it. You just sang it.
01:07:30.58\01:07:31.98
I did, I was kind of
just pretending, you know,
01:07:32.01\01:07:35.12
hope I look like I
knew what I was doing but...
01:07:35.15\01:07:37.82
You did all right. That
was beautiful, I love it.
01:07:37.85\01:07:39.62
Isn't that wonderful?
01:07:39.65\01:07:40.99
'Cause really
that's what it's all about
01:07:41.02\01:07:42.36
Jesus is the light of the world.
01:07:42.39\01:07:43.73
Yes, He is. Yes, He is.
01:07:43.76\01:07:45.09
My dad use to say,
01:07:45.13\01:07:46.46
"Son, it doesn't
take a rocket scientist
01:07:46.49\01:07:47.83
to figure out who
we are and who God is."
01:07:47.86\01:07:49.83
Amen.
01:07:49.86\01:07:51.20
It's really not that
difficult, we're gonna...
01:07:51.23\01:07:53.23
Everybody on
earth is born terminal.
01:07:53.30\01:07:55.74
All right.
01:07:55.77\01:07:57.11
No, I don't care
where you come from,
01:07:57.17\01:07:58.51
what your background
is, what color you are,
01:07:58.54\01:07:59.87
everybody is born terminal.
01:07:59.91\01:08:01.31
There is only one answer
for this world's problems today
01:08:01.34\01:08:03.78
and that's the
Lord Jesus Christ,
01:08:03.81\01:08:05.41
creator of all heaven and earth.
01:08:05.45\01:08:07.75
So He is the light of the world.
01:08:07.78\01:08:10.12
Amen. Amen.
01:08:10.15\01:08:11.49
So we will walk in the
light, that beautiful light
01:08:11.52\01:08:13.89
and we will
stand in Jesus Christ
01:08:13.92\01:08:15.92
because He is our
center and He is our joy.
01:08:15.96\01:08:19.96
Absolutely. You
believe that, Shirley?
01:08:20.03\01:08:22.43
I believe. You believe.
01:08:22.46\01:08:24.10
Yes, she do.
01:08:24.17\01:08:25.50
And Shirley is gonna
sing for us "I believe."
01:08:25.53\01:08:27.44
In a land far
away time stood still
01:08:45.55\01:08:51.39
Long ago there
were shepherds in fields
01:08:51.43\01:08:57.87
Or at least this
is how the story goes
01:08:57.90\01:09:05.91
The story goes
01:09:05.94\01:09:11.95
Woman with child
01:09:11.98\01:09:15.05
And a man with no room
01:09:15.08\01:09:20.32
Born in a manger
for telling it too
01:09:20.39\01:09:27.96
This is how the story goes
01:09:27.96\01:09:35.80
But it's more than a fable
01:09:35.84\01:09:39.81
Yes, it's more than a fairytale
01:09:39.84\01:09:45.41
More than my mind
01:09:45.45\01:09:50.59
Can conceive
01:09:50.62\01:09:53.86
I believe the wise men saw
01:09:53.89\01:09:59.53
The baby boy The angels called
01:09:59.56\01:10:03.83
The Son of God Heaven's child,
01:10:03.87\01:10:10.47
The great I am
01:10:10.51\01:10:14.04
Born to take away my sin
01:10:14.08\01:10:18.11
Through nailed pierced hands
01:10:18.15\01:10:21.68
Emmanuel has come
01:10:21.72\01:10:28.06
I believe
01:10:31.09\01:10:35.60
Two thousand years
01:10:38.93\01:10:42.14
Still the story lives on
01:10:42.17\01:10:47.34
God's gift to
earth wrapped in flesh
01:10:47.41\01:10:52.28
Sent to us His only son,
01:10:52.31\01:10:58.15
His only son
01:10:58.19\01:11:03.36
And the heartbeat of heaven
01:11:03.43\01:11:08.00
Confounded our wisdom
01:11:08.03\01:11:11.90
But it's still the simple truth
01:11:11.93\01:11:16.27
That sets me free
01:11:16.30\01:11:19.44
I believe the wise
men saw the baby boy
01:11:19.47\01:11:26.78
The angels called the Son of God
01:11:26.82\01:11:32.12
Heaven's child, the great I am
01:11:32.15\01:11:39.43
Born to take away my sin
through nailed pierced hands
01:11:39.46\01:11:46.37
Emmanuel has come
01:11:46.40\01:11:52.41
Yes, I believe
01:11:52.44\01:11:54.94
Precious child how can it be
01:12:00.62\01:12:06.02
That God's great
plan for His story
01:12:06.05\01:12:12.83
Would send you
01:12:12.86\01:12:15.50
To the lonely tree
01:12:15.53\01:12:21.57
That you would
come for one like me
01:12:21.60\01:12:28.61
I believe in a cross
01:12:28.64\01:12:34.82
I believe He came
for one He came for all
01:12:34.85\01:12:41.46
Heavens child became a man
01:12:41.49\01:12:48.16
Born to take away my sin
01:12:48.20\01:12:51.63
through nailed pierced hand
01:12:51.67\01:12:55.17
I believe
01:12:55.20\01:12:57.57
Yes, I believe I believe
01:13:01.21\01:13:08.05
His truth lives in me
01:13:08.08\01:13:12.65
Yes, I believe
01:13:17.23\01:13:20.43
I believe.
01:13:30.87\01:13:35.34
Amen. Amen.
01:13:35.38\01:13:36.71
Praise the Lord. Thank you.
01:13:36.75\01:13:38.08
Awesome. I believe.
01:13:38.11\01:13:39.45

01:13:39.48\01:13:40.82
I love that, I've
never heard that song before.
01:13:40.88\01:13:43.28
What a lovely lyrics.
01:13:43.35\01:13:45.05
You heard a song
entitled I believe though.
01:13:45.09\01:13:47.52
Yes, in fact growing up
01:13:47.56\01:13:49.16
my parents used to
sing in this quartet
01:13:49.19\01:13:51.76
called the Versatiles
and they sang I believe.
01:13:51.79\01:13:54.60
I love that song.
Sing it, how is it go?
01:13:54.63\01:13:56.73
I believe for every
drop of rain that falls
01:13:56.80\01:14:01.47
A flower grows.
01:14:01.50\01:14:03.81
Okay, sing. All

01:14:03.84\01:14:05.37

I'm just going to come over here
01:14:23.12\01:14:24.46
and walk with Neville.
01:14:24.49\01:14:25.83
What are we gonna do, Neville?
01:14:25.86\01:14:27.20
We're gonna go "Go

Yeah, yeah,

01:14:34.70\01:14:37.47

01:14:50.25\01:14:51.85
All right, my turn.
01:15:00.93\01:15:04.37
Go, tell it on the mountains
01:15:04.40\01:15:07.87
All right.
01:15:07.90\01:15:09.24
Over the hills and everywhere
01:15:09.27\01:15:13.88
Go, tell it on the mountain
01:15:13.91\01:15:16.31
Yes, yes. Yes.
01:15:16.34\01:15:17.68
That Jesus Christ is born
01:15:17.71\01:15:20.02
I want to sing that
again. Can I sing that again?
01:15:20.05\01:15:21.95
Sing it, sing it. Sing it again.
01:15:21.98\01:15:23.32
Go, tell it on the mountain
01:15:23.39\01:15:27.26
Over the hills and everywhere
01:15:27.29\01:15:31.73
Go, tell it on the mountain
01:15:31.76\01:15:35.26
That Jesus Christ is born
01:15:35.30\01:15:39.67
While shepherds
kept their watching
01:15:39.70\01:15:43.67
All right.
01:15:43.71\01:15:45.04
Over silent flocks by night
01:15:45.07\01:15:48.34
Behold throughout the heavens
01:15:48.38\01:15:52.91
There shone a holy
light Somebody ought to go
01:15:52.95\01:15:58.85
Go, go, tell it on the mountain
01:15:58.89\01:16:02.22
Over the hills and everywhere
01:16:02.26\01:16:07.03
Go, tell it on the mountain
01:16:07.03\01:16:10.70
That Jesus Christ is born
01:16:10.77\01:16:15.50
The shepherds,
they feared and trembled
01:16:15.54\01:16:19.17
All right.
01:16:19.21\01:16:20.58
When lo above the earth
01:16:20.61\01:16:23.85
Rang out the angel chorus
01:16:23.88\01:16:27.72
Yes.
01:16:27.75\01:16:29.08
That hailed our savior's birth
01:16:29.12\01:16:31.72
Let's go and tell it
01:16:31.75\01:16:34.42
Tell it on the mountain
01:16:34.46\01:16:37.93
Over the hills and everywhere
01:16:37.96\01:16:42.23
Go, tell it on the mountain
01:16:42.26\01:16:46.53
That Jesus Christ is born
01:16:46.57\01:16:51.24
Down in a lowly manger
01:16:51.27\01:16:55.51
The humble Christ was born
01:16:55.54\01:16:59.45
And he brought
us God's salvation,
01:16:59.48\01:17:04.02
That blessed Christmas morn
01:17:04.05\01:17:07.42
That's why I tell it
01:17:07.49\01:17:10.06
Tell it on the mountain
01:17:10.09\01:17:13.53
Over the hills and everywhere

Go, tell it on the
mountain Tell it on the mountain
01:17:18.00\01:17:22.10
That Jesus Christ is born
01:17:22.14\01:17:23.51
Let's change the key
here, John, take it up.
01:17:23.54\01:17:25.27
My verse, listen to this.
01:17:25.31\01:17:27.08
When Jesus came the first time
01:17:27.11\01:17:29.64
All right.
01:17:29.68\01:17:31.08
The people they didn't know
01:17:31.11\01:17:36.25
That this time, next
time he will be coming
01:17:36.28\01:17:40.16
The coming back again
01:17:40.19\01:17:42.22
That's why we got to tell it
01:17:42.26\01:17:45.36
Tell it on the mountains
01:17:45.39\01:17:48.73
Over the hills and everywhere
01:17:48.76\01:17:53.23
Go, tell it on the
mountain Tell it on the mountain
01:17:53.30\01:17:57.51

That Jesus Christ is born
01:18:19.83\01:18:24.27
That Jesus Christ is born.
01:18:24.30\01:18:30.61
All right. Yay!
01:18:39.58\01:18:41.68
Come on. Amen, amen.
01:18:41.72\01:18:43.49
All right. Yes, indeed.
01:18:43.52\01:18:44.85
You may have to do
another one, that was so good.
01:18:44.89\01:18:46.29
Oh, yeah, that was
good. That was so good.
01:18:46.32\01:18:48.99
So can I help you
out in this next one?
01:18:49.02\01:18:51.46
All right. all right.
01:18:51.49\01:18:52.83
All right. Come on.
01:18:52.86\01:18:54.36
That's fun.
01:18:54.40\01:18:56.23
There you go. Wow.
01:18:56.26\01:18:59.77
You enjoying
this as much as I am?
01:18:59.80\01:19:01.77
Yes. Oh, this is great.
01:19:01.80\01:19:03.14
I hope the folks at home,
01:19:03.17\01:19:04.51
I hope you are
enjoying this as much as we are.
01:19:04.54\01:19:05.87
John, you were having fun.
01:19:05.91\01:19:07.31
No, no, this is
where I'm here to do a job.
01:19:07.34\01:19:09.61
Hey, I'm the one, I'm
the one that is having fun.
01:19:09.64\01:19:11.25
No, I don't believe you,
you were having fun, I saw you.
01:19:11.28\01:19:13.65
No, no fun
allowed. No fun allowed.
01:19:13.68\01:19:15.85
I saw him having fun.
01:19:15.88\01:19:17.25
I don't care what he
says, you were having fun.
01:19:17.32\01:19:18.65
But we'll talk about that later.
01:19:18.69\01:19:20.12
All right.
01:19:20.19\01:19:21.62
Well, this song I'm gonna
do is a song called "Mary song"
01:19:21.66\01:19:25.53
and it's a song, kind of
like from Mary's perspective,
01:19:25.56\01:19:32.10
and just talks about the fact
01:19:32.13\01:19:34.27
that God's
perfect plan really is
01:19:34.30\01:19:38.01
and was to send Jesus,
01:19:38.04\01:19:40.28
and that Jesus truly is
the desire of all the ages.
01:19:40.31\01:19:43.85
Away in a stable
01:20:01.90\01:20:07.04
Along time ago
01:20:07.10\01:20:10.17
Was a mother with child
01:20:10.21\01:20:15.18
No man she had known
01:20:15.21\01:20:19.08
Mocked by so many
01:20:19.11\01:20:23.45
And feeling alone
on earth to deliver
01:20:23.49\01:20:31.33
God's own
01:20:31.36\01:20:33.13
And then came the savior
01:20:39.67\01:20:44.61
Our God and our king
01:20:44.64\01:20:48.78
Sent from above
01:20:48.81\01:20:52.65
To reclaim and redeem
01:20:52.68\01:20:57.55
This was the purpose
01:20:57.59\01:21:01.12
For which she was called
01:21:01.16\01:21:05.33
To deliver the best gift of all
01:21:05.36\01:21:10.93
God's perfect plan
01:21:10.97\01:21:14.70
In all its stages
01:21:14.74\01:21:20.98
Reveals to man
01:21:21.01\01:21:26.82
The desire of ages
01:21:26.88\01:21:31.05
All right.
01:21:31.09\01:21:32.42
And then in that stable
01:21:37.63\01:21:41.73
Her heart filled with joy
01:21:41.76\01:21:46.07
Because of the gift
01:21:46.10\01:21:50.84
Of her beautiful boy
01:21:50.87\01:21:55.01
God in the flesh
01:21:55.04\01:21:58.58
Would dwell among men
01:21:58.61\01:22:02.68
To suffer and pay for their sins
01:22:02.72\01:22:08.22
God's perfect plan
01:22:08.26\01:22:12.26
In all its stages
01:22:12.29\01:22:18.20
Reveals to man
01:22:18.23\01:22:24.07
The desire of ages
01:22:24.11\01:22:30.01
When Jesus was born
01:22:34.18\01:22:38.75
The world did not know
01:22:38.79\01:22:42.89
Messiah and King to across
01:22:42.92\01:22:48.76
He would go
01:22:48.80\01:22:51.07
But He's coming back, yeah
01:22:51.10\01:22:55.80
But not as a lamb
01:22:55.84\01:22:59.07
Are you ready to meet the I am
01:22:59.11\01:23:05.61
God's perfect plan
01:23:05.65\01:23:09.35
In all its stages
01:23:09.38\01:23:15.59
Reveals to man
01:23:15.62\01:23:21.43
The desire of ages
01:23:21.46\01:23:29.30
Oh, God's perfect plan
01:23:29.34\01:23:34.14
In all its stages
01:23:34.18\01:23:40.02
Reveals to man
01:23:40.08\01:23:46.25
The desire of ages
01:23:46.29\01:23:52.59
Amen. Amen.
01:24:05.27\01:24:06.78
Beautiful absolutely, thank you.
01:24:06.81\01:24:10.15
The desire of ages.
01:24:10.18\01:24:12.28
Speaking of the
desire of ages...
01:24:12.31\01:24:13.65
It almost sounds like
a book title, doesn't it?
01:24:13.72\01:24:15.32
It does, I was gonna say it.
01:24:15.35\01:24:16.69
I mean that is just one
of our favorite books too,
01:24:16.72\01:24:18.49
The Desire of Ages.
Absolutely. How beautiful.
01:24:18.52\01:24:21.12
You wrote that song...
01:24:21.16\01:24:22.49
Yes. I guess.
01:24:22.52\01:24:24.53
That was beautiful.
01:24:24.56\01:24:25.89
Can you give him his
microphone, there you go.
01:24:25.93\01:24:27.30
So you wrote that song? Yes.
01:24:27.30\01:24:28.90
Now that desire of ages
01:24:28.93\01:24:30.27
that didn't
come from the thought
01:24:30.33\01:24:31.67
about the book, did it?
01:24:31.70\01:24:33.03
Actually it did,
01:24:33.07\01:24:34.47
I have to tell the
truth. Yeah, it did, it did.
01:24:34.50\01:24:37.27
But it fits in
beautifully. It does.
01:24:37.31\01:24:39.41
Absolutely love it. It does.
01:24:39.44\01:24:41.31
Let me ask you guys something.
01:24:41.34\01:24:43.55
When you think about
Christmas, the time of course,
01:24:43.61\01:24:45.75
you think about giving,
01:24:45.78\01:24:48.12
what for each of you
would be the best gift
01:24:48.15\01:24:52.09
that you can imagine?
01:24:52.12\01:24:54.46
Let's start with Lyndon.
01:24:54.49\01:24:55.82
Why would you pick me, Yvonne?
01:24:55.86\01:24:58.93
No, I would say my time.
01:24:58.96\01:25:02.30
Okay. My time is
the biggest thing.
01:25:02.33\01:25:06.30
I like to play tennis,
01:25:06.33\01:25:08.60
I like to do a
bunch of other stuff
01:25:08.64\01:25:10.84
but giving my
time, giving myself,
01:25:10.91\01:25:14.81
that's what God requires of us.
01:25:14.84\01:25:16.85
And I think
that's the biggest thing
01:25:16.88\01:25:18.21
that anybody can
give is their time.
01:25:18.25\01:25:20.32
Okay. Okay.
01:25:20.35\01:25:21.68
Good. What about you, sis?
01:25:21.72\01:25:23.05
This is my turn.
01:25:23.08\01:25:25.79
Giving all that I am to God,
01:25:25.82\01:25:28.96
and that means not
just between me and Him
01:25:28.99\01:25:31.43
but, you know, horizontally
giving of service to mankind,
01:25:31.46\01:25:35.70
no matter what that looks like.
01:25:35.73\01:25:37.63
I think that's so important
'cause that's what Christ did.
01:25:37.67\01:25:40.10
He gave up so much
and while He was here,
01:25:40.14\01:25:41.64
He was serving us.
01:25:41.67\01:25:43.00
Yeah.
01:25:43.04\01:25:44.37
You know, what I'm saying
He was down with the lowly,
01:25:44.41\01:25:45.94
He was hanging with hood.
01:25:45.97\01:25:49.31
He was one of us,
01:25:49.34\01:25:50.81
and I try to remember
that when dealing with people
01:25:50.85\01:25:53.88
that I don't get to the point
01:25:53.92\01:25:55.25
while I'm looking down at others
01:25:55.28\01:25:56.75
but I'm giving them that
01:25:56.79\01:25:58.12
same type of love and compassion
01:25:58.15\01:25:59.49
that Christ gave then
and still gives me now.
01:25:59.52\01:26:02.39
That's right. Amen.
01:26:02.42\01:26:03.76
So we are talking about
either the greatest gift
01:26:03.79\01:26:07.30
you can give
01:26:07.36\01:26:08.66
or the greatest
gift you can receive.
01:26:08.70\01:26:10.47
Yeah. Either way.
01:26:10.50\01:26:12.53
For me, if I could
be in full time ministry
01:26:12.57\01:26:19.97
and I don't mean like the
way we know it traditionally,
01:26:20.01\01:26:23.55
but just every, to
have the time to do worship,
01:26:23.58\01:26:27.75
to have the time
to do Bible study.
01:26:27.78\01:26:29.82
Not have to like do
that after you work.
01:26:29.85\01:26:32.85
Okay. Right.
01:26:32.89\01:26:34.26
But to be able to
do that full time,
01:26:34.29\01:26:36.49
like we use to talk about
this kind of stuff years ago.
01:26:36.52\01:26:39.36
I think that would,
if I could, you know,
01:26:39.39\01:26:41.76
if I could go to fantasy island,
01:26:41.80\01:26:43.13
there was a show, you
guys don't remember that.
01:26:43.16\01:26:45.27
Yeah.
01:26:45.30\01:26:46.63
And then, you know,
you could just do it
01:26:46.70\01:26:48.04
in not any traditional way
01:26:48.07\01:26:49.77
but just live that as
you walk out your house,
01:26:49.80\01:26:52.17
as you see
somebody at the store.
01:26:52.21\01:26:54.14
You know, 'cause I
was sick in the other day.
01:26:54.18\01:26:57.68
People, when Christ was with,
01:26:57.71\01:27:00.18
like you said hanging
out with the people, we know,
01:27:00.25\01:27:02.15
we read the bible
and it doesn't say,
01:27:02.18\01:27:04.22
He got up in their
face and He told them this.
01:27:04.25\01:27:08.62
He would turn in
around and ask them a question
01:27:08.66\01:27:11.56
and quietly they would
be like waiting for him
01:27:11.59\01:27:13.46
to give them some heavy,
01:27:13.53\01:27:14.83
and He would give
him something heavy
01:27:14.86\01:27:16.30
but it would be like, oh, I
wasn't expecting it to come.
01:27:16.33\01:27:18.57
Yeah.
01:27:18.60\01:27:19.93
So there was a gentleness
in a way that He float,
01:27:19.97\01:27:22.17
and I think, you know,
01:27:22.20\01:27:24.11
more of that would
be what I like to do.
01:27:24.14\01:27:26.71
Good.
01:27:26.78\01:27:28.11
Sorry I went on but...
01:27:28.14\01:27:29.48
No, no, no, no,
no, we want you to.
01:27:29.51\01:27:31.05
That's great.
01:27:31.08\01:27:32.41
One night I was,
just picked up my guitar,
01:27:32.45\01:27:35.18
do that a lot of times at night,
01:27:35.22\01:27:36.55
I was just playing a little bit,
01:27:36.58\01:27:38.15
And I said Lord, I
want to give you something
01:27:38.19\01:27:39.75
but I don't know
what to give you.
01:27:39.79\01:27:41.29
What in the world do you
give to creator of the universe
01:27:41.32\01:27:44.13
who created the
world, who created us,
01:27:44.16\01:27:46.90
and then I heard this
little small still voice say,
01:27:46.93\01:27:49.53
all my praise,
01:27:49.56\01:27:51.87
I give you all my praise.
01:27:51.90\01:27:54.24
Yeah.
01:27:54.27\01:27:55.60
That's all I have to offer you
01:27:55.64\01:27:59.27
I now build a sanctuary
01:27:59.31\01:28:03.51
Deep within my heart
01:28:03.58\01:28:05.91
And all my
praise, I offer up to you
01:28:05.95\01:28:10.42
Amen.
01:28:10.45\01:28:11.79
So the Lord gave
me this little chorus,
01:28:11.82\01:28:13.15
just all my praise, I offer Him.
01:28:13.19\01:28:15.52
So I said hey, that's
all I've got to give God.
01:28:15.56\01:28:17.99
Amen. Amen.
01:28:18.03\01:28:19.36
And hence, He
inhabits the praises...
01:28:19.39\01:28:20.73
Yes, He does. Of His people.
01:28:20.76\01:28:22.10
Yes, yes, awesome.
01:28:22.13\01:28:23.70
I've been thinking
about this question recently
01:28:23.77\01:28:26.50
because I think a lot of times
01:28:26.53\01:28:28.80
we are looking for
something profound to give.
01:28:28.84\01:28:33.17
You know, like you were
talking to God saying that
01:28:33.21\01:28:34.84
what can I give you,
01:28:34.88\01:28:36.21
you're thinking
of these big things,
01:28:36.24\01:28:38.01
and what hit me recently is
I think we take for granted.
01:28:38.05\01:28:41.15
You know, we are musicians
01:28:41.18\01:28:42.52
and we've grown
up singing and so on.
01:28:42.55\01:28:44.99
But this thing that
we have that God gave us,
01:28:45.02\01:28:47.76
this music is something
that is really a precious gift.
01:28:47.79\01:28:52.06
And when you meet
people who share with you,
01:28:52.09\01:28:54.73
oh, man I went
through such and such
01:28:54.73\01:28:56.63
and I listen to your song
and it was a blessing to me
01:28:56.67\01:28:59.07
or where I was
feeling down that day
01:28:59.10\01:29:01.57
and that song that you
sang, you know, lifted me.
01:29:01.60\01:29:04.64
It's just a reminder to me
that to return the gifts...
01:29:04.67\01:29:10.68
That's it.
01:29:10.71\01:29:12.05
That I've been given is
one of the greatest things
01:29:12.08\01:29:13.75
that you can do.
01:29:13.78\01:29:15.12
Obviously we've all
been given these gifts
01:29:15.15\01:29:16.82
but when we get a chance to do
01:29:16.85\01:29:18.62
like we share like
we're sharing today
01:29:18.65\01:29:21.42
and bless the
people who are watching,
01:29:21.46\01:29:24.06
I think that's one
of the greatest gifts
01:29:24.09\01:29:25.69
we can do is just
sort of operate in the gift
01:29:25.73\01:29:28.26
that you've been given.
01:29:28.30\01:29:29.63
Amen. Amen, amen.
01:29:29.66\01:29:31.00
All right.
01:29:31.03\01:29:33.10
Well, considering the urgency
of the times that we live in,
01:29:33.13\01:29:37.94
it is truly my soul's
desire to see souls saved.
01:29:37.97\01:29:43.68
Yes.
01:29:43.75\01:29:45.08
And so, if in giving
of myself in service,
01:29:45.11\01:29:49.78
seeing others give
themselves to Christ,
01:29:49.82\01:29:53.15
I think that's
the ultimate gift.
01:29:53.19\01:29:54.76
Yes. Amen.
01:29:54.79\01:29:56.12
Neville, what about you?
01:29:56.16\01:29:57.69
I will say that
the ultimate gift
01:29:57.73\01:29:59.13
that we can
give God is ourselves
01:29:59.16\01:30:03.33
and when I say ourselves,
I really mean like our will
01:30:03.37\01:30:08.90
because, you know,
we live in a world today
01:30:08.94\01:30:14.14
where everybody wants
to be true to themselves
01:30:14.18\01:30:19.28
and we say be
true to yourself and...
01:30:19.31\01:30:23.35
You know, I've
spent a lot of time
01:30:23.39\01:30:24.95
thinking about that,
01:30:24.99\01:30:26.82
but at the end
of the day I realize
01:30:26.86\01:30:29.39
that instead of
being true to self,
01:30:29.42\01:30:31.26
we need to be true to Christ.
01:30:31.29\01:30:32.73
That's right. Yes.
01:30:32.76\01:30:34.20
And being true
to Christ at times
01:30:34.23\01:30:36.06
may require us
to deny ourselves...
01:30:36.10\01:30:39.80
Come on, come on now.
01:30:39.83\01:30:41.17
I know and Jesus Himself
said it, He said, you know,
01:30:41.20\01:30:44.51
pick up your cross, you know,
if you want to be My disciple,
01:30:44.54\01:30:47.51
you have to pick up your cross,
01:30:47.54\01:30:49.21
you have to deny yourself
and you have to follow Me.
01:30:49.24\01:30:53.65
And so, the more
I think about it,
01:30:53.68\01:30:56.28
I realize more and more
01:30:56.32\01:30:58.55
that I can't be
about the business
01:30:58.59\01:31:00.86
of being true to the way I think
01:31:00.89\01:31:02.86
or the way I feel
01:31:02.89\01:31:04.23
or being true to my own
opinions about things...
01:31:04.26\01:31:06.80
That's right.
01:31:06.83\01:31:08.13
I need to find
out what God thinks,
01:31:08.16\01:31:09.56
how He feels it.
01:31:09.60\01:31:11.30
I need to begin
looking at things
01:31:11.33\01:31:12.93
from His perspective, you know.
01:31:12.97\01:31:14.50
Absolutely.
01:31:14.54\01:31:15.87
And sometimes those things
will challenge you to the core,
01:31:15.90\01:31:18.91
I mean to the very core.
01:31:18.94\01:31:20.74
So that's what I want
to give God, you know,
01:31:20.78\01:31:25.28
my desire is to give Him myself,
01:31:25.31\01:31:27.65
my will, my, you know, my heart.
01:31:27.68\01:31:30.19
Amen.
01:31:30.25\01:31:31.59
The devil glamorizes the self,
01:31:31.62\01:31:32.95
all these magazines
in the last 15, 20 years
01:31:32.99\01:31:36.02
more then ever, all
about self, all about me,
01:31:36.06\01:31:39.26
you know, and
everybody to do take care of me
01:31:39.29\01:31:41.96
when really it's
just the opposite, right?
01:31:42.00\01:31:43.33
It's right.
01:31:43.40\01:31:44.73
We're supposed to go tell
the world about Jesus and...
01:31:44.77\01:31:46.53
It's all about Him.
01:31:46.57\01:31:47.90
And right,
01:31:47.94\01:31:49.27
tell them about God's
saving grace and His power.
01:31:49.30\01:31:52.11
What we got to do
is some more music.
01:31:52.14\01:31:53.61
Here our time is
running away. I know, I know.
01:31:53.64\01:31:55.78
John is gonna
sing for us. All right.
01:31:55.81\01:31:59.01
We are so blessed to have him.
01:31:59.05\01:32:01.25
Love it, what a touch
he has on the keyboard.
01:32:01.28\01:32:04.19
Yes, yes.
01:32:04.22\01:32:05.55
That didn't come all at
once, that's taken a lifetime.
01:32:05.59\01:32:07.36
Need a little time practicing.
01:32:07.39\01:32:09.09
And this song, we
were talking earlier
01:32:09.12\01:32:11.09
about our memories of Christmas.
01:32:11.13\01:32:13.16
So this song is sort of my
stories of Christmas memory
01:32:13.19\01:32:17.13
that we turn into a song
01:32:17.17\01:32:18.50
and we're gonna get a
chance to share with you,
01:32:18.53\01:32:20.10
it's called "Only
on Christmas Day."
01:32:20.14\01:32:22.70
There in the kitchen
in front of the stove
01:32:39.22\01:32:44.46
Grandma's cooking
01:32:44.49\01:32:47.23
She's got food on her clothes
01:32:47.30\01:32:50.10
I smell turkey and dressing
01:32:50.13\01:32:53.27
And my favorite apple pie
01:32:53.30\01:32:56.37
And she seasons the moment
01:32:56.40\01:32:59.44
With the tear in her eye
01:32:59.47\01:33:02.41
And that fill her emotion
01:33:02.44\01:33:05.58
Because the meaning of Christmas
01:33:05.61\01:33:11.65
Changed what she was
01:33:11.69\01:33:14.69
Only on Christmas day
01:33:14.72\01:33:20.60
She found the star
to show her the way
01:33:20.63\01:33:26.17
To the cross and
the prize that He paid
01:33:26.20\01:33:32.41
To give her this
hope on this Christmas day
01:33:32.44\01:33:38.55
Then for the first
time It all became clear
01:33:38.58\01:33:44.62
There was much
more than this day
01:33:44.65\01:33:47.42
Than just the snow and reindeer
01:33:47.46\01:33:50.69
More than the sleigh
bells, the carols and gifts
01:33:50.73\01:33:56.33
Because He took our
sorrows for much more than this
01:33:56.36\01:34:02.37
And it marks the
beginning of my new life
01:34:02.40\01:34:08.48
That I'll live forever
because He lived to die
01:34:08.51\01:34:15.12
Only on Christmas day
01:34:15.15\01:34:20.66
I found the star
to show me the way
01:34:20.69\01:34:26.13
To the cross and
the prize that He paid
01:34:26.16\01:34:32.37
To give me this hope
on this Christmas day
01:34:32.40\01:34:38.41
Now you can take
all the praise ends
01:34:38.44\01:34:41.41
The holly the tree
01:34:41.44\01:34:44.65
Just give me Jesus for eternity
01:34:44.68\01:34:51.22
Only on Christmas day
01:35:14.81\01:35:20.62
I found the star
to show me the way
01:35:20.65\01:35:26.15
To the cross and
the prize that He paid
01:35:26.19\01:35:32.46
To give me this hope
01:35:32.49\01:35:36.63
On this Christmas day
01:35:36.67\01:35:40.64
I found the star
to show me the way
01:35:44.61\01:35:50.01
To the cross and
the prize that he paid
01:35:50.05\01:35:56.99
To give me this hope
01:35:57.05\01:36:00.19
I found the star
to show me the way
01:36:08.50\01:36:14.17
To the cross and
the prize that He paid
01:36:14.24\01:36:20.78
To give me this
hope on this Christmas
01:36:20.81\01:36:28.12
This Christmas day
01:36:28.15\01:36:35.16
Amen, amen.
01:36:35.19\01:36:38.69
Hallelujah. Only
on Christmas day.
01:36:38.73\01:36:40.83
Amen. Amen.
01:36:40.90\01:36:42.86
I like that, I
like that. I love that.
01:36:42.90\01:36:44.27
Yvonne, I can't believe
our time is almost gone.
01:36:44.30\01:36:47.10
Where did it go?
01:36:47.14\01:36:48.47
I don't know,
we've been having fun.
01:36:48.50\01:36:49.84
We have.
01:36:49.87\01:36:51.21
But we got little more music
before this program is over.
01:36:51.24\01:36:52.57
Where are we going next?
Lyndon is gonna sing for us.
01:36:52.61\01:36:55.48
Oh, all right.
01:36:55.51\01:36:56.85
Have yourself a
blessed little Christmas
01:37:10.36\01:37:17.60
Christ the King is born
01:37:17.63\01:37:24.54
Let your voices ring
01:37:24.57\01:37:28.24
Upon this happy morn
01:37:28.28\01:37:36.18
Have yourself
01:37:36.22\01:37:41.99
A blessed little Christmas
01:37:42.02\01:37:46.90
Serenade the Earth
01:37:46.93\01:37:53.70
Tell the world we celebrate
01:37:53.74\01:37:58.91

01:37:58.94\01:38:04.55
Let us gather to sing to Him
01:38:08.55\01:38:13.59
And to bring to Him
01:38:13.62\01:38:17.06
Our praise
01:38:17.09\01:38:21.93
Son of God and a Friend of all
01:38:21.96\01:38:27.64
To the end of all
01:38:27.67\01:38:31.34
Our days
01:38:31.37\01:38:36.64
Let us all
proclaim the joyous tidings
01:38:36.68\01:38:44.22
Voices raised on high
01:38:44.29\01:38:51.73
Send this carol
01:38:51.76\01:38:54.96
Soaring up into the sky
01:38:55.00\01:38:59.93
This very merry
01:39:03.67\01:39:09.41
Blessed Christmas lullaby
01:39:09.44\01:39:15.35
Have yourself

A blessed little Christmas
01:39:22.36\01:39:26.09
Serenade the Earth
01:39:26.13\01:39:31.80
And tell the
world that we celebrate
01:39:31.83\01:39:36.30
A Savior's birth
01:39:36.34\01:39:44.15
Let us gather to sing to Him
01:39:44.18\01:39:49.35
And to bring to Him our praise
01:39:49.38\01:39:57.16
Son of God and a Friend of all
01:39:57.23\01:40:02.63
To the end of all our days
01:40:02.66\01:40:10.57
Sing hosannas, hymns
01:40:10.61\01:40:14.71
And hallelujahs
01:40:14.74\01:40:18.11
As to Him we bow
01:40:18.15\01:40:24.29
Make the music mighty
01:40:24.32\01:40:29.22
As the heav'ns allow
01:40:29.26\01:40:34.10
And have yourself
01:40:38.37\01:40:45.07
A blessed little Christmas
01:40:45.11\01:40:51.88
Now
01:40:51.91\01:40:55.98
Amen.
01:41:03.76\01:41:05.09
Amen. Amen. Amen.
01:41:05.13\01:41:06.80
Amen.
01:41:06.90\01:41:09.20
Unreal, unreal...
01:41:09.23\01:41:11.20
Addition to go home.
01:41:11.23\01:41:12.57
That's not even,
that's not even fair.
01:41:12.60\01:41:15.10
Who it's not
fair, say me highness?
01:41:15.14\01:41:17.17
Who that, it ain't me, right?
01:41:17.21\01:41:19.27
Yes, yeah. Please
don't say it's me...
01:41:19.31\01:41:20.94
It is you. No, it's not.
01:41:20.98\01:41:23.51
So I'd say, I'm
really speechless.
01:41:23.55\01:41:24.88
I almost, she was
reaching down for her shoe like,
01:41:24.91\01:41:27.75
she was gonna
hit you from behind.
01:41:27.78\01:41:29.35
Yeah. And on that...
01:41:29.38\01:41:30.95
Do you want to know, you know...
01:41:30.99\01:41:32.32
But you know what?
01:41:32.35\01:41:33.72
Angela would do the
same thing when you sing.
01:41:33.76\01:41:35.32
You should do. Oh, no...
01:41:35.36\01:41:36.83
Lyndon, can I borrow
your range about five minutes.
01:41:36.89\01:41:39.86
Can I just get your
range for five minutes?
01:41:39.89\01:41:41.70
As you all have
one thing in common,
01:41:41.73\01:41:44.20
you have an
anointing on your music
01:41:44.23\01:41:46.50
and on your ministry.
01:41:46.53\01:41:47.97
And that's what makes it.
01:41:48.00\01:41:49.94
Absolutely, so you
are next, you get...
01:41:49.97\01:41:52.27
Yeah, no, work for
real, there you go.
01:41:52.31\01:41:54.41
Just, there you go.
01:41:54.44\01:41:55.78
And you are gonna
bless us with songs.
01:41:55.81\01:41:57.18
Oh, because God had blessed me.
01:41:57.21\01:41:58.55
This is one of
my favorite songs.
01:41:58.58\01:41:59.91
So I'm gonna go hover by John.
01:41:59.95\01:42:02.08
Okay, all right. Oh, good.
01:42:02.12\01:42:03.49
Because John's
agreed to play with me...
01:42:03.52\01:42:04.92
All right. There
you go. Play for me.
01:42:04.95\01:42:07.36
I love this intimate
moments where we get to share,
01:42:07.39\01:42:09.66
we haven't got a chance
to do this in a long time,
01:42:09.69\01:42:11.56
so I'm looking forward to it.
01:42:11.59\01:42:13.26
Wow.
01:42:13.29\01:42:15.06
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
01:42:34.55\01:42:40.42
Would one day walk on water?
01:42:40.46\01:42:44.36
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
01:42:44.39\01:42:50.33
Will heal our
sons and daughters?
01:42:50.40\01:42:54.74
Did you know that your Baby Boy
01:42:54.77\01:43:00.41
Has come to make you new?
01:43:00.48\01:43:05.28
The Child that you delivered
01:43:05.31\01:43:10.29
Will soon deliver you
01:43:10.32\01:43:14.26
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
01:43:14.29\01:43:20.40
Will give sight to a blind man?
01:43:20.43\01:43:24.27
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
01:43:24.30\01:43:30.37
Will calm the
storm with His hand?
01:43:30.41\01:43:34.64
Did you know that your Baby Boy
01:43:34.68\01:43:40.22
Has walked where angels trod?
01:43:40.28\01:43:45.12
And when you
kiss your little Baby
01:43:45.15\01:43:50.29
You kissed the face of God?
01:43:50.33\01:43:54.36
Mary did you know
01:43:54.36\01:43:57.87
Did you know that
the deaf would hear
01:43:58.83\01:44:02.84
And the blind would see
01:44:02.87\01:44:05.31
And the dead will leave again
01:44:05.34\01:44:08.74
Did you know that
the lame will leap
01:44:08.78\01:44:12.81
And the dumb would speak
01:44:12.85\01:44:15.35
The praises of the Lamb
01:44:15.38\01:44:21.36
Mary, did you know?
01:44:21.39\01:44:25.46
Did you know?
01:44:25.49\01:44:27.73
All right.
01:44:27.76\01:44:29.36
Come on. Come on, John.
01:44:54.69\01:44:57.39
Did you know the deaf would hear
01:45:02.06\01:45:05.37
And the blind would see
01:45:05.40\01:45:07.80
And the dead will live again
01:45:07.84\01:45:11.01
And did you know
that the lame will leap
01:45:11.04\01:45:15.18
And the dumb would speak
01:45:15.21\01:45:17.75
The praises of the Lamb
01:45:17.78\01:45:22.68
Oh, Mary did you
know that your Baby Boy
01:45:22.72\01:45:30.23
Was Lord of all creation?
01:45:30.26\01:45:34.36
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
01:45:34.36\01:45:40.84
Would one day rule the nations?
01:45:40.90\01:45:44.54
Did you know, yes
01:45:44.57\01:45:47.24
That your Baby Boy is
heaven's perfect Lamb?
01:45:47.28\01:45:54.65
And the sleeping Child
01:45:54.68\01:45:57.65
You're holding is the great
01:45:57.69\01:46:04.16
The great "I am".
01:46:06.63\01:46:11.50
The great "I am".
01:46:14.80\01:46:17.77
For He's King of kings
01:46:20.38\01:46:24.78
And He's Lord of lords
01:46:24.81\01:46:29.18
Mary did you know, did you know
01:46:29.22\01:46:35.02
He is king
01:46:40.30\01:46:45.43
Well Mary now you know
01:46:49.04\01:46:55.21
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
01:46:57.91\01:46:59.65
Amen. Amen. Get that end.
01:46:59.68\01:47:01.12
Amen. Praise the Lord.
01:47:01.15\01:47:03.02
Beautiful. That was beautiful.
01:47:03.05\01:47:04.59
Beautiful,
Angela. I'm telling you...
01:47:04.62\01:47:07.39
This is incredible.
01:47:07.42\01:47:08.76
And what a great song
too, another great song.
01:47:08.79\01:47:10.16
I know, I love that song,
01:47:10.19\01:47:11.53
one of my
favorite lines is the child
01:47:11.56\01:47:14.13
that you deliver
will soon deliver you.
01:47:14.20\01:47:16.67
That's right. Yeah.
01:47:16.70\01:47:18.03
Is that not a powerful line?
01:47:18.07\01:47:19.40
Yeah. It's powerful.
01:47:19.43\01:47:20.77
That's beautiful.
01:47:20.84\01:47:22.17
Den, you gonna
sing for us again?
01:47:22.20\01:47:23.54
Your turn, Dennis.
01:47:23.57\01:47:24.91
Powerful at the same time.
01:47:24.94\01:47:27.38
Yes, yes, powerful.
01:47:27.41\01:47:28.84
You guys been hanging
out too long together...
01:47:28.88\01:47:30.58
That's right. You can
talk to him right now.
01:47:30.65\01:47:32.65
That's right,
that's right for sure.
01:47:32.68\01:47:34.32
What you're gonna
be singing for us?
01:47:34.35\01:47:36.38
"The fist Noel."
01:47:36.42\01:47:37.79
Fist Noel. Okay, we
look forward to that.
01:47:37.82\01:47:39.49
Yes.
01:47:39.52\01:47:40.86
Well, Yvonne, just time
just keeps running away,
01:47:40.89\01:47:43.53
it's become our
enemy tonight, hasn't it?
01:47:43.56\01:47:44.89
I know, but you know what, Dan?
01:47:44.93\01:47:46.80
This is to me,
this is such a blessing
01:47:46.83\01:47:48.80
because music speaks to
the heart, to your soul.
01:47:48.83\01:47:52.90
It does things that
just mere words can't do.
01:47:52.93\01:47:55.84
So we hope that
you are enjoying this
01:47:55.87\01:47:58.47
as much as we are,
01:47:58.51\01:47:59.84
and we hope that
you are being blessed
01:47:59.87\01:48:01.51
and transported in the
heavenly places like we are.
01:48:01.54\01:48:04.55
Absolutely.
01:48:04.58\01:48:06.28
The First Noel
the angels did say
01:48:21.20\01:48:27.97
Was to certain poor
shepherds in fields as they lay
01:48:28.00\01:48:34.81
In fields where they
lay keeping their sheep
01:48:34.84\01:48:41.68
On a cold winter's
night that was so deep
01:48:41.72\01:48:48.26
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
01:48:48.29\01:48:55.40
Born is the King of Israel!
01:48:55.43\01:49:02.00
They looked up and saw a star
01:49:02.04\01:49:08.68
Shining in the
East beyond them far
01:49:08.71\01:49:15.42
And to the earth
it gave great light
01:49:15.45\01:49:22.36
And so it
continued both day and night
01:49:22.39\01:49:28.96
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
01:49:29.00\01:49:36.34
Born is the King of Israel!
01:49:36.37\01:49:42.51
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
01:49:42.54\01:49:49.65
Born is the King of Israel!
01:49:49.68\01:49:56.96
Noel, Noel
01:49:59.73\01:50:03.43
Born is the King of Israel!
01:50:03.47\01:50:10.91
Noel, Noel
01:50:10.94\01:50:17.15
Born is the King of Israel!
01:50:17.21\01:50:24.25
Noel, Noel
01:50:26.82\01:50:30.69
Born is the King of Israel!
01:50:30.73\01:50:38.43
Amen. Amen.
01:50:42.00\01:50:43.37
Amen.
01:50:43.44\01:50:44.77
Thank you, Dennis,
absolutely beautiful,
01:50:44.81\01:50:46.14
what a great song to...
01:50:46.17\01:50:47.54
I know, it's a...
01:50:47.58\01:50:48.91
You can't have Christmas
time without the First Noel.
01:50:48.94\01:50:51.58
I know, absolutely.
01:50:51.61\01:50:53.11
Speaking of Christmas
time, look at this time,
01:50:53.15\01:50:55.08
what do we do?
01:50:55.12\01:50:56.45
Let's do a couple,
maybe a little choruses,
01:50:56.48\01:50:58.69
have the folks at home
sing with us if they want to.
01:50:58.72\01:51:01.09
Yes. Let's do a silent night.
01:51:01.12\01:51:02.46
Silent night.
01:51:02.49\01:51:03.96
Let's do it, you
join with us at home now.
01:51:04.03\01:51:06.83
Silent night
01:51:14.10\01:51:19.34
Holy night!
01:51:19.37\01:51:24.78
All is calm
01:51:24.81\01:51:30.09
All is bright
01:51:30.15\01:51:35.62
Round yon Virgin
01:51:35.66\01:51:40.90
Mother and Child
01:51:40.93\01:51:45.97
Holy infant
01:51:46.00\01:51:50.57
So tender and mild
01:51:50.64\01:51:57.28
Sleep in heavenly peace
01:51:57.31\01:52:03.99
Sleep in heavenly peace
01:52:08.59\01:52:15.73
Lyndon, sing this verse.
01:52:17.83\01:52:20.64
Silent night
01:52:20.70\01:52:26.07
Holy night!
01:52:26.11\01:52:32.15
Shepherds quake
01:52:32.18\01:52:36.85
At the sight
01:52:36.89\01:52:42.92
Glories stream
01:52:42.96\01:52:47.40
From heaven afar
01:52:47.46\01:52:53.47
Heavenly hosts singing
01:52:53.50\01:52:59.01
Hallelujah
01:52:59.04\01:53:04.78
Christ the Savior is born!
01:53:04.81\01:53:12.42
Christ the Savior is born
01:53:16.39\01:53:24.13
Amen. Amen.
01:53:25.90\01:53:27.24
I think Yvonne Lewis
should have to sing this verse.
01:53:27.30\01:53:29.97
Oh, my goodness.
01:53:30.01\01:53:31.64
Silent night
01:53:34.58\01:53:40.28
Holy night!
01:53:40.32\01:53:46.02
Son of God
01:53:46.05\01:53:51.93
Love's pure light
01:53:51.96\01:53:57.90
Radiant beams
01:53:57.93\01:54:03.20
From Thy holy face
01:54:03.24\01:54:09.01
With the dawn
01:54:09.04\01:54:12.91
Of redeeming grace
01:54:12.95\01:54:19.32
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
01:54:20.96\01:54:28.90
Jesus Lord
01:54:34.00\01:54:39.14
At Thy birth
01:54:39.17\01:54:47.18
Come down, Dennis,
that deserves a bump.
01:54:52.75\01:54:54.49
Praise him. That was good.
01:54:54.52\01:54:56.22
You put me on the
spot. Oh, that's all right.
01:54:56.26\01:54:58.66
That's all right. Amen.
01:54:58.69\01:55:00.73
It's about time
you've been sitting here
01:55:00.76\01:55:02.10
all humbled in everything.
01:55:02.13\01:55:04.00
This woman has seven or
eight golden platinum records
01:55:04.07\01:55:07.44
from singing
with Whitney Houston,
01:55:07.47\01:55:09.10
and Luther Vandross, and Roberta
01:55:09.14\01:55:11.07
and all of those
and CA Murray said,
01:55:11.11\01:55:13.07
let's go to her house
when we first met her.
01:55:13.11\01:55:15.01
I want to show you all these,
01:55:15.04\01:55:16.38
and we go in and
guess where they are.
01:55:16.41\01:55:17.75
We can't find them.
They're in her closet.
01:55:17.78\01:55:20.52
And is said, Yvonne,
you don't want to fit
01:55:20.55\01:55:22.15
and she said, no,
that's all old stuff,
01:55:22.18\01:55:23.89
that's passed,
that's not important.
01:55:23.92\01:55:25.85
And she wouldn't
bring them to the office,
01:55:25.89\01:55:27.56
she won't hang them up.
01:55:27.59\01:55:28.92
She just says, that's
nothing, Dare to Dream
01:55:28.96\01:55:31.53
is what I'm
created to be and, yeah...
01:55:31.56\01:55:34.20
Amen. Praise the Lord.
Yeah. Thank you so much.
01:55:34.20\01:55:37.57
We only have
about a minute or so,
01:55:37.60\01:55:38.93
why don't we
instead of maybe going out
01:55:38.97\01:55:41.37
with another song,
why don't we just have
01:55:41.40\01:55:42.77
a prayer for the folk today.
01:55:42.80\01:55:44.94
And Neville, I'm gonna
ask you to say a prayer.
01:55:44.97\01:55:47.08
We may just go out praying today
01:55:47.14\01:55:48.71
and we're through, and
you just play under it,
01:55:48.74\01:55:50.61
John, and let's ask
the Lord to bless people,
01:55:50.65\01:55:53.05
there are lot of lonely
01:55:53.08\01:55:54.45
brokenhearted
people there today.
01:55:54.48\01:55:56.69
And they don't
know where they...
01:55:56.75\01:55:58.19
They want to do in life.
01:55:58.22\01:55:59.55
They don't think
there is any hope.
01:55:59.59\01:56:00.99
If you don't feel
there is any hope today,
01:56:01.02\01:56:02.46
there is, it's in
the Lord Jesus Christ.
01:56:02.49\01:56:04.73
Trust Him and I promise
you, He will see you through.
01:56:04.76\01:56:06.83
He will give you peace
that passeth all understand.
01:56:06.86\01:56:10.20
And so today, you just
join with us in prayer.
01:56:10.27\01:56:12.43
First confess,
Lord, I'm a sinner.
01:56:12.47\01:56:14.47
He says, if we confess our sins,
01:56:14.50\01:56:16.27
He is faithful and just
to forgive us from our sins
01:56:16.30\01:56:18.64
and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
01:56:18.67\01:56:21.11
Then simply go and tell
what He has done for you.
01:56:21.14\01:56:22.98
Amen.
01:56:23.01\01:56:24.35
So today, join us as
we pray, Brother Neville.
01:56:24.38\01:56:27.32
Okay, Father in
heaven, we thank You God
01:56:27.35\01:56:29.35
for the precious gift
of Your Son Jesus Christ.
01:56:29.38\01:56:32.69
We thank You Lord
'cause You are good
01:56:32.72\01:56:34.66
and Your goodness
is so evident, Lord.
01:56:34.69\01:56:37.76
We ask O God that
You would give us grace
01:56:37.79\01:56:40.00
to see Your
goodness all around us, Lord.
01:56:40.03\01:56:43.20
And we ask Father
that You would continue
01:56:43.23\01:56:47.40
to comfort the comfortless
01:56:47.44\01:56:49.10
and we thank You for these gifts
01:56:49.14\01:56:50.57
that You have given us
01:56:50.61\01:56:52.34
to assist in the
preaching of the gospel, Lord.
01:56:52.37\01:56:56.11
This is the reason
why we do it, Lord.
01:56:56.14\01:56:58.15
You are the reason, Father.
01:56:58.18\01:56:59.51
We love You, You
are such a good God.
01:56:59.55\01:57:01.88
And we pray O God that
You would never allow us
01:57:01.92\01:57:05.05
to lose sight of Your goodness.
01:57:05.09\01:57:07.69
Lord, we love
You, we praise You.
01:57:07.72\01:57:11.26
We bless Your
name. We give You glory.
01:57:11.29\01:57:14.10
We give You honor.
01:57:14.13\01:57:15.86
Be with each person
watching this program, Lord.
01:57:15.90\01:57:19.57
And we ask God
01:57:19.60\01:57:21.27
that they would
also be able to see
01:57:21.30\01:57:25.04
and know that You love
them personally Lord God.
01:57:25.07\01:57:30.68
We thank You Father
for hearing this prayer
01:57:30.75\01:57:33.82
in the name of Your Son Jesus.
01:57:33.85\01:57:36.15
Amen. Amen. Amen.
01:57:36.18\01:57:39.22
O come let us adore Him
01:57:39.25\01:57:46.90
O come let us adore Him
01:57:46.93\01:57:54.64
Christ the Lord
01:57:56.50\01:58:04.08
