Hi, I'm Billy Blackwood.
00:00:03.53\00:00:05.73
Through my years
in music ministry,
00:00:05.77\00:00:07.20
I've had the privilege
of meeting many great people
00:00:07.24\00:00:09.54
and making a lot
of great friends.
00:00:09.57\00:00:10.94
Some have been
friends for literally decades
00:00:14.04\00:00:15.78
and some have been more recent.
00:00:15.81\00:00:19.18
It's my hope that
00:00:19.21\00:00:20.55
you will enjoy getting a
glimpse behind the scenes
00:00:20.58\00:00:22.28
and into the real
lives of my friends.
00:00:22.32\00:00:25.59
Sit back and enjoy
00:00:25.62\00:00:26.96
as you watch Billy
Blackwood and Friends.
00:00:26.99\00:00:29.09
The chimes of
time Ring out the news
00:00:46.04\00:00:51.45
Another day is through
00:00:51.48\00:00:56.99
Someone slipped and fell
00:00:57.02\00:01:02.59
Was that someone you?
00:01:02.62\00:01:07.80

00:03:49.82\00:03:52.63
Hi, I'm Billy Blackwood,
00:04:05.67\00:04:07.01
and you're watching
Billy Blackwood and Friends.
00:04:07.04\00:04:08.71
My guest today is my dear friend
00:04:08.74\00:04:10.68
Kelly Willard.
00:04:10.71\00:04:12.05
I'm so thrilled and honored
00:04:12.08\00:04:13.42
to have Kelly on
our program today.
00:04:13.45\00:04:16.25
As you will hear in
the next several minutes
00:04:16.28\00:04:20.72
incredible
talent, incredible voice,
00:04:20.76\00:04:22.89
incredible heart.
00:04:22.92\00:04:24.26
And, Kelly, welcome,
it's so good to have you here.
00:04:24.29\00:04:27.13
Thank you, Billy.
00:04:27.16\00:04:28.50
I'm glad to be here with you.
00:04:28.53\00:04:31.33
We first met when
we were teenagers.
00:04:31.37\00:04:34.74
Yes, yes.
00:04:34.77\00:04:36.10
At a music camp in
Texas, Waxahachie, Texas.
00:04:36.14\00:04:39.91
Stamps-Blackwood
School of Music.
00:04:39.94\00:04:41.64
Blackwood School of Music
00:04:41.68\00:04:43.01
and you were this
little redheaded girl
00:04:43.04\00:04:44.61
from Winter Haven, Florida.
00:04:44.65\00:04:48.35
You know I don't know
why I have a memory of you
00:04:48.38\00:04:50.15
in the college
00:04:50.19\00:04:52.95
that we were in the music school
00:04:52.99\00:04:54.52
was held in our college
there at Waxahachie, Texas.
00:04:54.56\00:04:56.42
Yeah.
00:04:56.46\00:04:57.79
And I remember that
00:04:57.83\00:04:59.16
there was not air conditioning,
00:04:59.19\00:05:00.63
it was in the
middle of the summer,
00:05:00.66\00:05:02.00
it was really hot
00:05:02.03\00:05:03.37
but the third floor
00:05:03.40\00:05:04.73
had little
practice rooms with pianos.
00:05:04.77\00:05:06.10
Oh, yeah.
00:05:06.13\00:05:07.47
And for some reason,
00:05:07.50\00:05:08.84
one of my vivid memories are,
00:05:08.87\00:05:10.21
one of my, probably
my first memory of you,
00:05:10.24\00:05:11.84
is hearing you in one
of those practice rooms.
00:05:11.87\00:05:14.78
I've heard you before I saw you,
00:05:14.81\00:05:17.28
and I heard you playing
and just worshiping the Lord.
00:05:17.31\00:05:21.08
And, you know, I don't know,
00:05:21.12\00:05:24.12
you're not really
supposed to be a fan of people.
00:05:24.15\00:05:25.95
But I've been an
admirer ever since
00:05:25.99\00:05:28.36
just from what I heard that day
00:05:28.39\00:05:30.79
and you, God has
used you in so many ways
00:05:30.83\00:05:36.40
through the years and your songs
00:05:36.43\00:05:38.77
and your records and tell us,
00:05:38.80\00:05:43.24
you know, tell us,
00:05:43.27\00:05:44.61
there are a lot of
folks maybe watching today
00:05:44.64\00:05:46.04
who are not familiar
with you or your music.
00:05:46.07\00:05:47.64
So kind of give us a
little history backup and
00:05:47.68\00:05:49.71
give us history maybe
from the music school on
00:05:49.74\00:05:51.98
and what God's been doing?
00:05:52.01\00:05:54.18
All right.
00:05:54.22\00:05:56.22
I think I was 15
when I met you, so
00:05:56.25\00:06:01.56
because I know I was
15 at that music school
00:06:01.59\00:06:04.43
and then I was playing
the piano for my church
00:06:04.46\00:06:11.37
in Winter Haven,
00:06:11.40\00:06:12.73
where I was born
and raised, Florida.
00:06:12.77\00:06:15.90
And I went from playing
00:06:15.94\00:06:21.14
for my church
00:06:21.18\00:06:23.08
to move to Nashville
00:06:23.11\00:06:25.18
and played for Jake Hess Sound,
00:06:25.21\00:06:27.55
which was his family group.
00:06:27.58\00:06:30.62
And then I ended up
moving out to California
00:06:30.65\00:06:34.66
to play for the Archers.
00:06:34.69\00:06:37.99
And then I
moved to Oklahoma City
00:06:38.03\00:06:40.86
to play for a group called Seth.
00:06:40.90\00:06:43.70
And then after that,
00:06:43.73\00:06:46.27
a group called
Harlan Rogers and Friends.
00:06:46.30\00:06:49.90
So I was basically a
person in the background,
00:06:49.94\00:06:54.68
you know, playing the piano
00:06:54.71\00:06:56.41
and occasionally
singing backgrounds.
00:06:56.44\00:07:02.32
But a dear friend
00:07:02.35\00:07:04.82
who I just
mentioned, Harlan Rogers,
00:07:04.85\00:07:09.19
who had the group
Harlan Rogers and Friends
00:07:09.22\00:07:12.39
talked me into singing,
00:07:12.43\00:07:14.50
and he literally had to
talk me into singing solos.
00:07:14.53\00:07:19.03
Then after a couple
of years, Harlan decided
00:07:19.07\00:07:22.87
that he wanted to go
back with Andre's Group,
00:07:22.90\00:07:26.44
and he moved back to California,
00:07:26.47\00:07:29.08
and left us in Oklahoma,
00:07:29.11\00:07:31.25
and was working with the
people at Maranatha music.
00:07:31.28\00:07:36.22
I was married by that
time at the ripe old age of 18.
00:07:36.25\00:07:42.39
Oh, my.
00:07:42.42\00:07:43.76
We had a friend
00:07:43.79\00:07:45.59
who had been the leader of Seth,
00:07:45.63\00:07:49.30
the group I was
with before Harlan.
00:07:49.33\00:07:51.53
Anyway, he invited my
husband and I out there.
00:07:51.57\00:07:56.20
Long story short,
00:07:56.24\00:07:57.57
we ended up
moving out to California
00:07:57.61\00:08:00.51
and after about a year of
playing on different albums
00:08:00.54\00:08:04.91
and singing backgrounds.
00:08:04.95\00:08:07.35
Maranatha
approached me and said,
00:08:07.38\00:08:10.59
would you like to do a
solo album for our company?
00:08:10.62\00:08:15.86
You know, and I
was blown away at that,
00:08:15.89\00:08:19.19
you know, I mean,
00:08:19.23\00:08:21.16
that was the beginning
of recording several albums.
00:08:21.20\00:08:25.77
What was the
name of the first one?
00:08:25.80\00:08:27.40
Blame it on the one I love.
00:08:27.44\00:08:28.77
Oh, blame it on the one I love.
00:08:28.80\00:08:30.14
Yes, I knew that record,
I can still see that cover.
00:08:30.17\00:08:33.07
But I didn't know
00:08:33.11\00:08:34.44
if there was a
record before that.
00:08:34.48\00:08:35.81
But yeah, I have
blame it on the one I love.
00:08:35.84\00:08:37.41
You do? I do.
00:08:37.45\00:08:38.78
Okay. Okay.
00:08:38.81\00:08:40.15
You just, you know,
00:08:40.18\00:08:42.32
and I think
because I knew you as a,
00:08:42.35\00:08:46.86
you know, as a teenager
00:08:46.89\00:08:49.82
You know, when you
started releasing solo records,
00:08:49.86\00:08:52.73
I mean, obviously,
I knew who you were
00:08:52.76\00:08:55.26
already and so,
00:08:55.30\00:08:57.13
it wasn't like someone had to,
00:08:57.17\00:08:59.63
you know, say, well,
00:08:59.67\00:09:01.00
hey, you need to
listen to this person
00:09:01.04\00:09:02.37
because I'd already done that.
00:09:02.40\00:09:04.07
So I remember blame
it on the one I love.
00:09:04.11\00:09:07.64
Everybody that I knew
just thought that was,
00:09:07.68\00:09:10.28
you know, that was
such a great record
00:09:10.31\00:09:12.35
and what was that...
00:09:12.38\00:09:14.78
What do you follow that up with?
00:09:14.82\00:09:16.15
I don't remember
what was after that.
00:09:16.18\00:09:18.22
Next was willing heart.
00:09:18.25\00:09:20.36
Oh, yes. Oh my.
00:09:20.39\00:09:22.02
Psalm 139 on willing heart
00:09:25.36\00:09:27.86
and we said on
blaming on the one I love.
00:09:27.90\00:09:29.26
That was on the third album,
00:09:29.30\00:09:30.90
which was called Psalms,
Hymns and Spiritual Songs.
00:09:30.93\00:09:33.74
Okay, okay, that's right.
00:09:33.77\00:09:35.10
Well, I got all
of those, I guess.
00:09:35.14\00:09:36.47
Yeah.
00:09:36.50\00:09:37.84
And then the
record that really...
00:09:37.87\00:09:40.71
Is probably I
start to talk about this
00:09:43.78\00:09:45.11
and I get emotional
00:09:45.15\00:09:46.48
because this record
just captured for in my world
00:09:46.51\00:09:51.12
captured generation
00:09:51.15\00:09:53.15
and that was the
record message from a King.
00:09:53.19\00:09:55.86
Listen as Kelly plays
for you some of the...
00:09:55.89\00:09:59.19
What I think are some of
the greatest Christian songs
00:09:59.23\00:10:01.56
that have ever been written
00:10:01.60\00:10:02.93
that just convey
the heart of God.
00:10:02.96\00:10:05.27
Listen, you'll be blessed.
00:10:05.30\00:10:06.63
I came into this world
00:10:24.65\00:10:28.86
To save you
00:10:28.89\00:10:33.43
Before the world was made
00:10:33.46\00:10:36.60
I knew your name
00:10:36.63\00:10:41.84
I am
00:10:41.87\00:10:45.71
The Savior
00:10:45.74\00:10:50.05
And oh the love
that I have for you
00:10:50.08\00:10:54.38
My child
00:10:54.42\00:10:58.72
I know the world around you
00:10:58.75\00:11:02.46
Is in darkness
00:11:02.49\00:11:07.30
You're hated by the enemy
00:11:07.33\00:11:11.17
Of your soul
00:11:11.20\00:11:16.44
I am Almighty
00:11:16.47\00:11:21.81
And oh the love
that I have for you
00:11:24.81\00:11:29.22
My child
00:11:29.25\00:11:33.22
Can you hear Me
00:11:33.25\00:11:37.49
Will you answer
00:11:37.53\00:11:42.03
Can you hear me
00:11:42.06\00:11:46.50
Will you follow
00:11:46.53\00:11:50.37
Follow Me
00:11:50.41\00:11:52.81
I've tasted all the things
00:12:09.16\00:12:13.06
That come against you my child
00:12:13.09\00:12:18.00
They fell to the
ground beneath Golgotha's tree
00:12:18.03\00:12:23.71
My name is Faithful
00:12:26.98\00:12:32.15
And oh the love
that I have for you
00:12:35.25\00:12:39.69
My child
00:12:39.72\00:12:43.69
Can you hear Me
00:12:43.73\00:12:48.43
Will you answer
00:12:48.46\00:12:52.47
Can you hear Me
00:12:52.50\00:12:57.11
Will you follow
00:12:57.14\00:13:01.24
Can you hear Me
00:13:01.28\00:13:06.01
Will you answer
00:13:06.05\00:13:10.45
Can you hear Me
00:13:10.49\00:13:14.72
Will you follow Me
00:13:14.76\00:13:19.09
Follow Me
00:13:19.13\00:13:22.50
Oh the love that I have for you
00:13:28.50\00:13:34.31
My child
00:13:34.34\00:13:38.11
Some of the most beautiful songs
00:13:44.39\00:13:47.02
and anointed music
00:13:47.06\00:13:48.92
I have ever heard in my life,
00:13:48.96\00:13:52.23
and I've heard a lot of
music throughout my life,
00:13:52.26\00:13:54.10
a lot of great
gospel and Christian music.
00:13:54.13\00:13:57.40
But some of the most beautiful
00:13:57.43\00:13:58.77
and anointed
come from this lady.
00:13:58.80\00:14:01.97
And, Kelly, tell people
00:14:02.00\00:14:04.34
how they can get
in touch with you
00:14:04.37\00:14:06.34
and order some of your CDs
00:14:06.37\00:14:07.88
or even schedule
you for ministry.
00:14:07.91\00:14:09.91
What's the best
way to reach you?
00:14:09.94\00:14:12.05
That would be kellywillard.com.
00:14:12.08\00:14:14.98
Kellywillard.com,
that's pretty easy.
00:14:15.02\00:14:16.89
Yeah, and it's got my
email for correspondence.
00:14:16.92\00:14:21.66
It's gotten a
phone number for booking
00:14:21.69\00:14:24.33
and it's got a music page
00:14:24.36\00:14:27.20
where all of my
product is available.
00:14:27.23\00:14:31.63
So www.kellywillard.com.
00:14:31.67\00:14:36.24
Kelly, tell us so,
00:14:36.27\00:14:38.37
I know some of what God is doing
00:14:38.41\00:14:40.48
in your life right now.
00:14:40.51\00:14:41.84
But tell our audience
what God's got you up to.
00:14:41.88\00:14:45.91
From the time that I
mentioned where I began
00:14:45.95\00:14:50.35
doing albums
00:14:50.39\00:14:51.72
ever since that time
00:14:51.75\00:14:53.09
I have sung in
churches and prisons
00:14:53.12\00:14:56.76
over all these years.
00:14:56.79\00:14:59.43
If it was for God's glory,
00:14:59.46\00:15:01.33
and somebody was
asking me to do something,
00:15:01.36\00:15:04.67
I would do it,
00:15:04.70\00:15:06.03
because God
told me give it away.
00:15:06.07\00:15:08.90
He told me that a long time ago.
00:15:08.94\00:15:11.47
Sometimes it will
be recording sessions,
00:15:11.51\00:15:14.51
sometimes it will be churches,
00:15:14.54\00:15:17.31
sometimes prisons,
00:15:17.35\00:15:19.01
I had not done very many prisons
00:15:19.05\00:15:23.15
for maybe seven to ten years.
00:15:23.18\00:15:26.49
And because I've gotten older,
00:15:26.52\00:15:29.76
and probably a couple
of generations of kids
00:15:29.79\00:15:34.33
doing the same thing
I was doing in my 20s
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.47
have come up,
00:15:37.50\00:15:38.83
you know, and
are on the radio now.
00:15:38.87\00:15:41.50
And instead of me,
00:15:41.54\00:15:43.37
you know, my concerts
have gotten less and less
00:15:43.41\00:15:47.38
in churches, you know,
00:15:47.41\00:15:49.34
it was kind of
difficult, really, for me,
00:15:49.38\00:15:52.25
it was hard to
understand, hard to take,
00:15:52.28\00:15:56.75
you know, just
hard to swallow, really.
00:15:56.79\00:15:59.35
And because I'm going,
00:15:59.39\00:16:00.86
wait a minute, I'm
still sitting here,
00:16:00.89\00:16:03.96
waiting for
somebody to call and ask me
00:16:03.99\00:16:06.46
to come sing at their church.
00:16:06.49\00:16:07.83
Right, I'm still
doing what I've always done.
00:16:07.86\00:16:09.83
Where are the
phone calls, you know?
00:16:09.86\00:16:12.40
And anyway,
00:16:12.43\00:16:14.14
it got to where time
came to the end of my rope,
00:16:14.17\00:16:19.07
and I kind of had a come
to Jesus moment with the Lord
00:16:19.11\00:16:25.68
and I did, I came to God
00:16:25.71\00:16:28.68
and I said,
00:16:28.72\00:16:30.05
"What is going on?
00:16:30.09\00:16:33.32
What am I supposed to do?"
00:16:33.36\00:16:36.09
I mean, really, I just
was at the end of myself,
00:16:36.12\00:16:39.06
you know, and like,
Lord, what am I not seeing?
00:16:39.09\00:16:44.87
And when I said,
what am I not seeing?
00:16:44.90\00:16:48.24
He brought,
00:16:48.27\00:16:49.60
right while I was ranting
on right there, you know,
00:16:49.64\00:16:52.87
He brought the sweetest
memory of the actual feeling
00:16:52.91\00:16:59.51
of grace and joy
00:16:59.55\00:17:01.88
that I used to
always get in the prisons
00:17:01.92\00:17:06.25
when I would
sing in the prisons.
00:17:06.29\00:17:09.12
It was like He
brought the memory to me.
00:17:09.16\00:17:12.19
And He let me feel it.
00:17:12.23\00:17:14.36
And I... It was like a
little spark lit in my heart
00:17:14.40\00:17:20.64
or maybe it was still
going and I didn't know it.
00:17:20.67\00:17:23.81
And it flamed in my heart.
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.97
And I just went, oh, man,
00:17:26.01\00:17:29.18
oh, yes, Lord, I go, I go,
00:17:29.21\00:17:32.31
if only I could just do that,
00:17:32.35\00:17:35.32
I would be happy, you know
00:17:35.35\00:17:37.69
and, and it was like,
He was waiting for me...
00:17:37.72\00:17:40.46
For you say that.
00:17:40.49\00:17:41.96
For me to
process that whole thing
00:17:41.99\00:17:45.29
through and go well,
00:17:45.33\00:17:46.76
let's see, my next thought was,
00:17:46.80\00:17:49.16
well, if I want to do that,
00:17:49.20\00:17:53.00
only prisons,
00:17:53.03\00:17:55.54
I'd have to write a letter.
00:17:55.57\00:17:57.84
And I was like,
00:17:57.87\00:17:59.61
that's the letter
I've never wanted to write,
00:17:59.64\00:18:02.51
you know, because I had
always just prided myself on,
00:18:02.54\00:18:07.22
you know, not asking
people for money, you know?
00:18:07.25\00:18:13.25
And so you knew you
would have to lay support?
00:18:13.29\00:18:15.96
Yeah, I knew that I
would have to be supported
00:18:15.99\00:18:20.16
by the goodness of the hearts
00:18:20.20\00:18:24.33
of the Christian
people, you know,
00:18:24.37\00:18:26.97
and He all within
just a few minutes,
00:18:27.00\00:18:31.27
He had me willing
to write the letter
00:18:31.31\00:18:34.91
already thinking of what to say
00:18:34.94\00:18:38.25
and not ashamed to do so.
00:18:38.28\00:18:42.28
And I just put this letter out
00:18:42.32\00:18:48.32
as soon as I could
00:18:48.36\00:18:50.36
and I have been
receiving support
00:18:50.39\00:18:56.33
to be able to go into
prisons all over the country
00:18:56.36\00:19:01.67
and saying,
00:19:01.70\00:19:03.04
and it is been the most joyful
00:19:03.07\00:19:06.14
and I've gotten a
few churches call me too,
00:19:06.17\00:19:09.68
you know, and so I do those two.
00:19:09.71\00:19:12.51
The prisons are
definitely the main focus.
00:19:12.55\00:19:14.45
There it's now, yeah,
full time prison ministry
00:19:14.48\00:19:17.95
and some of the
most precious things
00:19:17.99\00:19:21.62
has, have happened
in the prisons and...
00:19:21.66\00:19:25.49
Are these mainly
women's prisons or the...
00:19:25.53\00:19:27.66
Men and women's...
00:19:27.70\00:19:29.03
Really?
00:19:29.06\00:19:30.47
Mostly seeing in men's prisons.
00:19:30.50\00:19:33.07
Really? Yeah, yeah.
00:19:33.10\00:19:35.47
I learned stuff every time I go,
00:19:35.50\00:19:38.37
you know, and get
bigger and bigger pictures
00:19:38.41\00:19:44.21
of the grace of God.
00:19:44.25\00:19:46.65
Just, I mean, it's
just lesson after lesson
00:19:46.68\00:19:50.69
and life after life
00:19:50.72\00:19:54.69
that comes up to shake my hand.
00:19:54.72\00:19:56.73
And one man, he said,
00:19:56.76\00:20:01.20
you know, you're
doing this unto the Lord,
00:20:01.23\00:20:05.63
why you're coming to see us,
00:20:05.67\00:20:07.74
you know, and I'm like,
00:20:07.77\00:20:10.64
I just smile and nod my head,
00:20:10.67\00:20:12.84
you know and
because it's so humbling,
00:20:12.87\00:20:16.28
it is just humbling
00:20:16.31\00:20:18.45
and some of them are,
00:20:18.48\00:20:23.69
some of the best
Christians that there are,
00:20:23.72\00:20:27.76
I mean, their lives
are so committed to Christ,
00:20:27.79\00:20:32.23
once they come to
the Lord in prison.
00:20:32.26\00:20:36.36
They are way on fire, you know,
00:20:36.40\00:20:40.44
and there's just
one prison that I go to,
00:20:40.47\00:20:43.91
I've been to three times
in the last couple of years.
00:20:43.94\00:20:48.68
It's in Detroit,
00:20:48.71\00:20:50.65
to go in there,
00:20:50.68\00:20:52.65
you feel like
you're going to church
00:20:52.68\00:20:54.98
because they are
such a tight community
00:20:55.02\00:21:00.42
of Christian brothers.
00:21:00.46\00:21:01.89
My word.
00:21:01.92\00:21:03.26
And I mean, they are all praying
00:21:03.29\00:21:05.16
and singing, shouting,
00:21:05.19\00:21:07.93
you know, patting
each other on the back,
00:21:07.96\00:21:12.07
you know, hugging each other,
00:21:12.10\00:21:14.07
guys that are just totally
00:21:14.10\00:21:16.10
a Christian community in prison.
00:21:16.14\00:21:18.47
That is so amazing.
00:21:18.51\00:21:19.84
You know, you
never hear about that.
00:21:19.87\00:21:21.54
Oh, I wouldn't, no
one would know that
00:21:21.58\00:21:23.81
if people like
you didn't tell us
00:21:23.85\00:21:26.41
because, you know,
00:21:26.45\00:21:27.78
we... I tend to think
and I tend to hear that,
00:21:27.82\00:21:30.52
you know, prisons are
or anything about that.
00:21:30.55\00:21:34.46
So that's so encouraging.
00:21:34.49\00:21:36.99
From what I understand
there is the dark side there is,
00:21:37.03\00:21:41.20
of course, the
works of the enemy
00:21:41.23\00:21:43.40
try to go on, you know?
00:21:43.43\00:21:46.67
But there's definitely
00:21:46.70\00:21:48.04
the light in the
midst of the darkness.
00:21:48.07\00:21:50.57
Well, that's great
that God is using you
00:21:50.61\00:21:52.37
in that kind of format.
00:21:52.41\00:21:53.74
That's just, that's
fantastic. Praise God.
00:21:53.78\00:21:55.61
That is the biggest
joy to just encourage them.
00:21:55.64\00:21:59.91
Something I like to do.
00:21:59.95\00:22:03.45
And I want to
ask your permission
00:22:03.49\00:22:06.76
to do this today
00:22:06.79\00:22:08.16
and I want to sing one
of your songs with you.
00:22:08.19\00:22:12.29
Absolutely.
00:22:12.33\00:22:13.66
I have, like I said,
00:22:13.70\00:22:15.03
so many of your songs
have ministered to me so much
00:22:15.06\00:22:17.13
and I know so, I
know a lot of them,
00:22:17.17\00:22:18.83
you know, by heart.
00:22:18.87\00:22:20.70
Earlier today we
were just sitting here
00:22:20.74\00:22:24.57
talking, I sang a
chorus of one of them to you
00:22:24.61\00:22:27.58
because they've
ministered so much to me.
00:22:27.61\00:22:30.18
So can we...
00:22:30.21\00:22:32.15
Can we pull out...
00:22:32.18\00:22:35.08
What about Willing Heart?
00:22:35.12\00:22:36.45
Can we try Willing
Heart, I love that song.
00:22:36.48\00:22:39.05
If you don't
have a willing heart,
00:22:39.09\00:22:40.96
ask Him to give you one,
00:22:40.99\00:22:42.69
and this is a great song,
00:22:42.72\00:22:44.06
so do you think
we can pull that off?
00:22:44.09\00:22:46.46
Yes, I do.
00:22:46.49\00:22:47.83
Well, hey,
00:22:47.86\00:22:49.50
you may never see
this again, I don't know.
00:22:49.53\00:22:51.30
This is my dear
friend Kelly Willard
00:22:51.33\00:22:54.14
and I'm Billy Blackwood,
00:22:54.17\00:22:55.50
and we're going to sing
one of Kelly's great songs
00:22:55.54\00:22:57.41
for you called Willing Heart.
00:22:57.44\00:23:01.64
Once I stumbled in the darkness
00:23:01.68\00:23:06.58
Doing only as I pleased
00:23:06.61\00:23:10.95
But I wasn't really happy
00:23:10.99\00:23:15.39
And my heart was not at ease
00:23:15.42\00:23:19.49
I just didn't
have the willingness
00:23:19.53\00:23:24.37
To follow His commands
00:23:24.40\00:23:28.54
'Til I laid my heart
00:23:28.57\00:23:31.14
Completely in His hands
00:23:31.17\00:23:36.91
If you don't
have a willing heart
00:23:36.95\00:23:41.55
Ask Him to give you one
00:23:41.58\00:23:46.02
If you can't
seem to make a start
00:23:46.05\00:23:49.82
Trust in His power
00:23:49.86\00:23:54.96
For the Lord of
love Is watching you
00:23:55.00\00:24:00.54
He sees what
you're going through
00:24:00.57\00:24:05.14
He can make a way
00:24:05.17\00:24:08.31
If you want Him to
00:24:08.34\00:24:12.45
Oh, do you want Him to?
00:24:12.48\00:24:17.29
Then, tell Him so
00:24:17.32\00:24:20.92
All the things
my heart held onto
00:24:27.30\00:24:31.77
Only filled me with despair
00:24:31.80\00:24:36.10
And the road
that I was traveling
00:24:36.14\00:24:40.44
Never took me anywhere
00:24:40.48\00:24:45.11
And I knew no satisfaction
00:24:45.15\00:24:49.62
'Til I found my rest in Him
00:24:49.65\00:24:54.19
Then He filled my heart
00:24:54.22\00:24:56.66
With gladness once again
00:24:56.69\00:25:02.50
If you don't
have a willing heart
00:25:02.53\00:25:07.10
Ask Him to give you one
00:25:07.14\00:25:11.64
If you can't
seem to make a start
00:25:11.67\00:25:15.64
Trust in His power
00:25:15.68\00:25:20.82
For the Lord of
love is watching you
00:25:20.85\00:25:26.35
He sees what
you're going through
00:25:26.39\00:25:30.73
And can make a way
00:25:30.76\00:25:34.40
If you want Him to
00:25:34.43\00:25:38.33
Oh, do you want Him to?

And my dear friend Kelly Willard
00:26:45.17\00:26:46.74
has been my guest today,
00:26:46.77\00:26:48.84
and I know you've
enjoyed these precious songs
00:26:48.87\00:26:51.94
and this precious lady
and her precious heart.
00:26:51.97\00:26:55.74
And again, if you
would like to schedule Kelly
00:26:55.78\00:26:58.68
to come minister,
00:26:58.71\00:27:00.48
or maybe perhaps you
have inroads into a prison,
00:27:00.52\00:27:04.65
which Kelly is doing
all across the country now.
00:27:04.69\00:27:07.52

product there as well.
00:27:13.19\00:27:14.80
Some of the greatest
music I've ever heard,
00:27:14.83\00:27:17.00
some of the most
tender anointed songs
00:27:17.03\00:27:19.27
ever written are by this lady
00:27:19.30\00:27:21.20
and they'll minister to you.
00:27:21.24\00:27:22.57
