Hi, I'm Billy Blackwood.
00:00:03.47\00:00:05.70
Through my years
in music ministry,
00:00:05.73\00:00:07.24
I've had the privilege
of meeting many great people
00:00:07.27\00:00:09.50
and making a lot
of great friends.
00:00:09.54\00:00:11.01
Some have been
friends for literally decades
00:00:14.04\00:00:15.84
and some have been more recent.
00:00:15.88\00:00:19.15
It's my hope that you will enjoy
00:00:19.18\00:00:20.85
getting a
glimpse behind the scenes
00:00:20.88\00:00:22.35
and into the real
lives of my friends.
00:00:22.38\00:00:25.62
Sit back and enjoy as you watch
Billy Blackwood and Friends.
00:00:25.65\00:00:29.39
Hi, I'm Billy Blackwood.
00:00:33.33\00:00:34.66
Welcome to Billy
Blackwood and Friends.
00:00:34.70\00:00:36.30
My guest today is my
friend, Yvonne Lewis.
00:00:36.33\00:00:40.00
Wait till you
hear this girl sing.
00:00:40.04\00:00:42.07
If you are not familiar
with Yvonne and her career
00:00:42.10\00:00:44.84
you're in for a treat today.
00:00:44.87\00:00:46.71
Some folks have heard your voice
00:00:46.74\00:00:49.38
in times that they
didn't even know it.
00:00:49.41\00:00:50.75
They may not know you,
00:00:50.78\00:00:52.11
but they
certainly know your voice.
00:00:52.15\00:00:53.62
And I know you've
had, God has used you
00:00:53.65\00:00:56.22
and allowed you to sing in
some pretty special places.
00:00:56.25\00:01:01.62
What'd you tell some
of our viewers today,
00:01:01.66\00:01:03.43
just...
00:01:03.46\00:01:04.79
I mean, go ahead,
00:01:04.83\00:01:06.16
you have
permission to name drop, okay.
00:01:06.19\00:01:07.93
Just go ahead and name drop
00:01:07.96\00:01:10.17
because it's a
pretty impressive list.
00:01:10.20\00:01:12.23
Well, the Lord has
allowed me to sing,
00:01:12.27\00:01:16.40
and to do jingles
and background vocals.
00:01:16.44\00:01:19.51
So I did background vocals for,
00:01:19.54\00:01:22.74
you know, the song
just the two of us,
00:01:22.78\00:01:24.55
just the two of us
00:01:24.58\00:01:26.68
that and...
00:01:26.72\00:01:28.05
We can make it
every time, just the two.
00:01:28.08\00:01:31.19
Yes. I'm sorry.
00:01:31.22\00:01:32.55
I shouldn't know that song,
00:01:32.59\00:01:34.59
but I do.
00:01:34.62\00:01:36.26
And fame, you know,
I'm gonna live forever.
00:01:36.29\00:01:39.19
Acceptance.
00:01:39.23\00:01:40.56
We are by the grace of
God, we're gonna live forever.
00:01:40.60\00:01:42.83
I sang with Luther
Vandross and Whitney Houston
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.17
and Roberta Flack and
Quincy Jones and just did,
00:01:45.20\00:01:49.80
and then I didn't jingles
00:01:49.84\00:01:51.17
like Burger King,
Pizza Hut, Folgers coffee,
00:01:51.21\00:01:55.54
Kentucky fried chicken,
Wrigley's spearmint gum,
00:01:55.58\00:01:58.35
just a lot of
different jingles and stuff.
00:01:58.38\00:02:00.05
And it was great.
00:02:00.08\00:02:01.42
It was a great opportunity
00:02:01.45\00:02:04.02
to meet some really nice people.
00:02:04.05\00:02:06.15
You do realize we only
have like about 30 minutes.
00:02:06.19\00:02:08.92
Would it be easier to tell
us who you haven't sung with?
00:02:08.96\00:02:12.79
Because you have been
with some heavy hitters.
00:02:12.83\00:02:15.70
Well, it was a blessing.
00:02:15.73\00:02:18.00
And what a great, a great tool,
a great gift God has given you
00:02:18.03\00:02:22.60
and using it for His glory now.
00:02:22.64\00:02:24.57
And can I ask you,
there's a song that
00:02:24.61\00:02:27.11
I had not heard until I
heard you do it in rehearsal
00:02:27.14\00:02:31.75
called just once more.
00:02:31.78\00:02:33.35
Can you tell me a
little bit about that song
00:02:33.38\00:02:34.98
and then sing it for us?
00:02:35.02\00:02:36.35
Oh, sure. Okay.
00:02:36.38\00:02:37.72
So that song was written
by my friend Halloran Hill.
00:02:37.75\00:02:41.22
This song just once more
00:02:41.26\00:02:42.62
really captures
the Christian walk
00:02:42.66\00:02:45.23
because we make mistakes
00:02:45.26\00:02:46.70
and we mess up,
00:02:46.73\00:02:49.26
but thank God we
have a high priest
00:02:49.30\00:02:52.00
that can be touched
00:02:52.03\00:02:53.37
with the feeling
of our infirmities.
00:02:53.40\00:02:54.94
And so we can go to Him
00:02:54.97\00:02:56.84
and come boldly to
the throne of grace
00:02:56.87\00:02:59.11
where we can obtain mercy
00:02:59.14\00:03:00.98
and find grace to
help in time of need.
00:03:01.01\00:03:03.71
We get to that point
where we've messed up,
00:03:03.75\00:03:05.95
where we've
promised God something,
00:03:05.98\00:03:08.02
and we break that promise.
00:03:08.05\00:03:09.38
And then we try again
and we break that promise.
00:03:09.42\00:03:12.02
We were like, Lord, please.
00:03:12.05\00:03:13.59
I just need you to
forgive me just once more.
00:03:13.62\00:03:16.32
And that's what
the song is about.
00:03:16.36\00:03:18.06
It's really the Christian walk
and how we are to come to God,
00:03:18.09\00:03:23.23
to come to Jesus.
00:03:23.26\00:03:24.60
We can come to
Jesus with anything.
00:03:24.63\00:03:26.67
There's nothing too great
00:03:26.70\00:03:28.04
or too small to come to Him
00:03:28.07\00:03:29.77
with and just say,
00:03:29.80\00:03:31.14
"Lord, I blew it. I'm sorry."
00:03:31.17\00:03:33.07
You know, if
people haven't heard this,
00:03:33.11\00:03:35.74
I want them to hear
what I heard in rehearsal
00:03:35.78\00:03:39.08
just before we
started the program today.
00:03:39.11\00:03:41.45
As Yvonne makes her
way to the microphone,
00:03:41.48\00:03:43.99
listen and let this
message touch your heart
00:03:44.02\00:03:47.46
just once more.
00:03:47.49\00:03:50.36
Here I am again
00:04:10.25\00:04:14.32
I'm on my knees again
00:04:14.35\00:04:18.79
But these are different tints
00:04:18.82\00:04:22.89
From a brand new set of scars
00:04:22.92\00:04:26.63
Now they may look the same
00:04:26.66\00:04:30.67
But these are not the same
00:04:30.70\00:04:35.14
These are dirty tints
00:04:35.17\00:04:38.77
So I can't see where you are
00:04:38.81\00:04:43.11
But I pray you'll understand
00:04:43.14\00:04:46.75
And I pray you'll take my hand
00:04:46.78\00:04:51.45
And I pray
there Is still a place
00:04:51.49\00:04:54.79
In the shelter of your grace
00:04:54.82\00:04:59.23
I know I don't deserve
00:04:59.26\00:05:02.16
Another chance
00:05:02.20\00:05:05.90
But I'm sorry,
00:05:05.93\00:05:08.80
I blew it
00:05:08.84\00:05:10.81
I failed you once again
00:05:10.84\00:05:14.98
All the things I said I was
00:05:15.01\00:05:18.61
I haven't been,
00:05:18.65\00:05:21.32
And I'm all that
00:05:21.35\00:05:24.85
You've heard this
00:05:24.89\00:05:26.99
A million times before
00:05:27.02\00:05:32.29
But I need you to forgive me
00:05:32.33\00:05:37.07
just once more
00:05:37.10\00:05:39.17
Oh, I need you to forgive me
00:05:39.20\00:05:46.07
Now I make promises
00:05:46.11\00:05:49.81
Lots of promises
00:05:49.84\00:05:54.98
Tide will float the sand
00:05:55.02\00:05:58.59
So they never last for long
00:05:58.62\00:06:02.32
And I am ashamed to ask
00:06:02.36\00:06:06.39
But I have just ask O Lord
00:06:06.43\00:06:11.53
May I start again
00:06:11.57\00:06:14.70
Will you carry me back home?
00:06:14.74\00:06:19.07
Will you look beyond the sin?
00:06:19.11\00:06:22.44
To the helpless fool within
00:06:22.48\00:06:26.55
Can you take what I have abused
00:06:26.58\00:06:29.88
And make a better
vessel you can use
00:06:29.92\00:06:34.79
I admit I don't deserve
00:06:34.82\00:06:38.43
No chance
00:06:38.46\00:06:41.70
Oh, but I'm sorry,
00:06:41.73\00:06:44.70
I blew it
00:06:44.73\00:06:47.10
I failed you once again
00:06:47.14\00:06:50.71
All the things I said I was
00:06:50.74\00:06:54.21
I haven't been
00:06:54.24\00:06:57.28
And I know that
00:06:57.31\00:07:00.42
You've heard this
00:07:00.45\00:07:03.32
A million times before
00:07:03.35\00:07:09.06
But I need you to forgive me
00:07:09.09\00:07:12.89
Just once more
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.13
Can you look beyond the sin?
00:07:21.04\00:07:24.34
To this helpless fool within
00:07:24.37\00:07:29.38
Can you take what I have abused
00:07:29.41\00:07:31.98
And make a better
vessel You can use
00:07:32.01\00:07:36.55
I agree
00:07:36.58\00:07:38.22
I don't deserve another chance
00:07:38.25\00:07:43.26
Oh, Lord, I'm sorry
00:07:43.29\00:07:46.56
I believe it
00:07:46.59\00:07:49.33
I have failed you ones again
00:07:49.36\00:07:52.60
All the things I said I was
00:07:52.63\00:07:56.17
I haven't been
00:07:56.20\00:08:00.48
I know that
00:08:00.51\00:08:02.71
You've heard this
00:08:02.74\00:08:05.45
A million times before
00:08:05.48\00:08:11.09
But I need you to forgive me
00:08:11.12\00:08:14.96
Just once more
00:08:14.99\00:08:17.13
I said I need you
00:08:17.16\00:08:20.50
To forgive me
00:08:20.53\00:08:23.06
Just once more,
00:08:23.10\00:08:25.57
Just once more
00:08:25.60\00:08:30.77
I need you to
00:08:30.81\00:08:34.11
Forgive me
00:08:34.14\00:08:39.11
Just once more
00:08:39.15\00:08:43.89
Is that a great song or what?
00:09:05.54\00:09:07.48
And more than just a great song
00:09:07.51\00:09:09.21
and a great
performance, which it was,
00:09:09.24\00:09:12.28
what a great truth.
00:09:12.31\00:09:13.72
I'm just going to, I
don't know anything to be,
00:09:13.75\00:09:15.62
but just real at
least most of the time,
00:09:15.65\00:09:18.95
and I have grown up in,
00:09:18.99\00:09:22.42
in Christian
music and gospel music.
00:09:22.46\00:09:24.36
My dad was a renounce singer.
00:09:24.39\00:09:25.96
My dad won nine
Grammy awards in his life
00:09:25.99\00:09:28.86
for his vocal performance.
00:09:28.90\00:09:30.23
So I know good
singing when I hear it.
00:09:30.27\00:09:32.33
I've grown up in an industry
and in a professional setting
00:09:32.37\00:09:36.57
where I don't pretend to be
one of those kind of singers,
00:09:36.60\00:09:40.18
but I know when I hear them.
00:09:40.21\00:09:41.71
And you know,
I've known about you,
00:09:41.74\00:09:45.41
but as I've really
gotten to hear you just in,
00:09:45.45\00:09:49.15
in the rehearsals today,
00:09:49.18\00:09:50.52
as we were getting
sound checks and things.
00:09:50.55\00:09:52.39
Oh my goodness, what a talent.
00:09:52.42\00:09:55.66
And, now I
realize why you've been
00:09:55.69\00:09:57.96
on all the
things you've been on,
00:09:57.99\00:09:59.33
all the jingles and McDonald's.
00:09:59.36\00:10:00.70
And so just, I mean, I know,
00:10:00.73\00:10:03.16
I know you, and I
know you're not one
00:10:03.20\00:10:04.83
to talk about that really,
00:10:04.87\00:10:08.40
but you kind of downplayed that
00:10:08.44\00:10:10.01
and I understand
'cause you're a humble person
00:10:10.04\00:10:12.64
and you don't want
to, you know, I get that.
00:10:12.67\00:10:15.54
But as a, you know,
when people see you,
00:10:15.58\00:10:20.55
like they're
seeing you now on TV
00:10:20.58\00:10:21.92
and they go, you know,
00:10:21.95\00:10:23.39
well, I'm not sure who this is.
00:10:23.42\00:10:25.45
It helps honestly to legitimize
00:10:25.49\00:10:29.79
why we're here
and why we're doing
00:10:29.82\00:10:31.39
what we're doing
when you share that.
00:10:31.43\00:10:34.10
And then you, well,
we'll do that first.
00:10:34.13\00:10:37.57
And then we'll, we'll go beyond.
00:10:37.60\00:10:39.77
We'll take the next
step once you do that.
00:10:39.80\00:10:41.47
But like gold records
and awards and things.
00:10:41.50\00:10:44.94
What do you
have hanging on your,
00:10:44.97\00:10:46.61
I don't know if you have
them hanging on your wall
00:10:46.64\00:10:47.98
or in your closet
or where they are?
00:10:48.01\00:10:50.21
Well, they're not
on the wall right now,
00:10:50.25\00:10:53.52
but I guess we'll
put them up on the wall,
00:10:53.55\00:10:56.32
but Grover Washington Jr.
00:10:56.35\00:10:58.69
who did just the two of us.
00:10:58.72\00:11:01.52
And I did Whitney
Houston's very first album
00:11:01.56\00:11:06.16
and her song how will I know.
00:11:06.19\00:11:08.23
I was singing on that
00:11:08.26\00:11:10.83
and Luther
Vandross never too much.
00:11:10.87\00:11:14.54
I've had the chance to sing with
00:11:14.57\00:11:16.81
just so many amazing artists
00:11:16.84\00:11:19.57
and yet, really, and yet,
00:11:19.61\00:11:21.61
so many people
think that that life
00:11:21.64\00:11:23.85
is just the be all and end all,
00:11:23.88\00:11:26.41
and it just solves everything,
00:11:26.45\00:11:28.78
well, it doesn't,
00:11:28.82\00:11:30.15
because what happens is
00:11:30.19\00:11:31.72
there's an
emptiness in your soul,
00:11:31.75\00:11:34.19
so you can make money.
00:11:34.22\00:11:35.56
I mean, I love doing the jingles
00:11:35.59\00:11:37.13
'cause I made a lot of money
00:11:37.16\00:11:38.49
and I had all the accoutrements
of wealth over here,
00:11:38.53\00:11:42.03
but over here there
was so much missing.
00:11:42.06\00:11:45.13
And I just realized
00:11:45.17\00:11:49.24
through not on my own,
00:11:49.27\00:11:50.64
like I just came to
the Lord, the Holy Spirit
00:11:50.67\00:11:53.58
just drew me back to Him,
00:11:53.61\00:11:55.98
but all of that,
all of the wealth
00:11:56.01\00:11:59.91
and I was never famous per se.
00:11:59.95\00:12:02.18
And I enjoy that part
00:12:02.22\00:12:03.79
because my famous
friends couldn't do anything.
00:12:03.82\00:12:06.05
They couldn't go to the store.
00:12:06.09\00:12:07.42
They couldn't go to the store,
00:12:07.46\00:12:08.79
you know, but I was
able to do the things
00:12:08.82\00:12:11.26
I wanted to do and
still have money too.
00:12:11.29\00:12:13.60
So it was fine
with me, you know,
00:12:13.63\00:12:15.56
but it's not enough
00:12:15.60\00:12:20.47
to have all of those things.
00:12:20.50\00:12:22.77
And so, I share what I did
00:12:22.80\00:12:27.08
so that people can
know that this is better,
00:12:27.11\00:12:30.71
serving Jesus is better.
00:12:30.75\00:12:32.45
Absolutely.
00:12:32.48\00:12:33.82
All of that over
there was my former life.
00:12:33.85\00:12:36.48
And I'm thankful
to God that I had it,
00:12:36.52\00:12:38.95
but this where I am right now
00:12:38.99\00:12:41.56
doing what I'm doing right now,
00:12:41.59\00:12:43.69
this is why I was
placed on this planet
00:12:43.73\00:12:46.49
to do the work
that I'm doing now,
00:12:46.53\00:12:48.40
so I'm happy.
00:12:48.43\00:12:49.76
You know, growing
up in music like I did
00:12:49.80\00:12:54.40
and it was around a
lot of people like you,
00:12:54.44\00:12:58.14
I didn't have the,
00:12:58.17\00:13:00.04
the musical
career necessarily that,
00:13:00.08\00:13:02.28
you know, like you had
actually singing with him.
00:13:02.31\00:13:04.65
But Elvis Presley
00:13:04.68\00:13:07.12
was a big fan of
the Blackwood Brothers.
00:13:07.15\00:13:09.08
And I traveled with his
show for a couple of years
00:13:09.12\00:13:11.55
as part of an opening act.
00:13:11.59\00:13:13.25
And you talk about,
00:13:13.29\00:13:14.72
you know, being
in that environment
00:13:14.76\00:13:16.89
and people who, you know,
00:13:16.93\00:13:19.76
idolized him would think, well,
00:13:19.79\00:13:21.96
Hey, you had the
world by the tail.
00:13:22.00\00:13:23.33
You know, you're traveling
on the road with Elvis Presley
00:13:23.37\00:13:25.27
and hanging out at his house.
00:13:25.30\00:13:26.90
And you know,
00:13:26.94\00:13:29.30
I tell people,
00:13:29.34\00:13:32.77
I've gotten to do a
lot of exciting things
00:13:32.81\00:13:34.94
and you could
say the same thing.
00:13:34.98\00:13:36.31
I met a lot of exciting people,
00:13:36.34\00:13:38.78
but there's no one
more exciting to Jesus.
00:13:38.81\00:13:41.92
There you go.
00:13:41.95\00:13:43.28
He's the most exciting
person you'll ever meet.
00:13:43.32\00:13:45.79
He's the best
friend you'll ever have,
00:13:45.82\00:13:47.16
is the only
savior you'll ever need.
00:13:47.19\00:13:48.79
That's right.
00:13:48.82\00:13:50.16
And you know,
those things are not,
00:13:50.19\00:13:53.03
things are not necessarily bad,
00:13:53.06\00:13:55.26
meeting those people
00:13:55.30\00:13:56.77
and getting to do
those exciting things.
00:13:56.80\00:13:58.47
There's nothing wrong with that,
00:13:58.50\00:14:00.04
unless that becomes
an idol in your life.
00:14:00.07\00:14:01.60
Right.
00:14:01.64\00:14:02.97
But when you just
compare it to life
00:14:03.00\00:14:06.68
serving Jesus and ministering
00:14:06.71\00:14:10.58
and doing what you do now
00:14:10.61\00:14:11.95
and doing what I get to do now,
00:14:11.98\00:14:13.82
it just doesn't,
00:14:13.85\00:14:15.18
it doesn't get
any better than this.
00:14:15.22\00:14:16.72
It doesn't.
00:14:16.75\00:14:18.09
When you know God is using you
00:14:18.12\00:14:20.02
and speaking through
you and singing through you
00:14:20.06\00:14:22.52
and touching people's hearts.
00:14:22.56\00:14:25.56
I've just, it,
00:14:25.59\00:14:26.93
it just doesn't get
any better than that.
00:14:26.96\00:14:28.30
It doesn't, it's so rich.
00:14:28.33\00:14:29.73
It's so rich. It's so rich.
00:14:29.76\00:14:31.53
And for those
who don't know him,
00:14:31.57\00:14:34.00
you know, you can't...
00:14:34.04\00:14:35.37
It's like, okay,
I'm a foodie, right?
00:14:35.40\00:14:37.81
So it's like describing like
00:14:37.84\00:14:39.84
this really great piece of cake,
00:14:39.87\00:14:41.74
you know, it just
tastes really good.
00:14:41.78\00:14:43.78
You just, you
can't really describe it,
00:14:43.81\00:14:45.88
but it's good, like Campbell's.
00:14:45.91\00:14:48.65
So, oh, taste and see
that the Lord is good.
00:14:48.68\00:14:52.89
You just need to try Him.
00:14:52.92\00:14:55.29
Just try Him.
00:14:55.32\00:14:56.66
There's nothing that
compares to knowing Jesus.
00:14:56.69\00:15:01.73
Well, you haven't
rested on your laurels
00:15:01.76\00:15:06.03
and just said,
well, I did all this
00:15:06.07\00:15:07.80
and now I'm gonna just sit back.
00:15:07.84\00:15:11.17
You continue to sing
as we've already heard.
00:15:11.21\00:15:13.91
But...
00:15:13.94\00:15:16.38
There's a song that
you did in rehearsal that
00:15:16.41\00:15:20.48
so powerful,
00:15:20.52\00:15:21.85
praise His Holy name,
00:15:21.88\00:15:23.45
that, you know,
00:15:23.49\00:15:27.09
your voice is on
radio still today
00:15:27.12\00:15:31.23
and sing it
backup for famous people
00:15:31.26\00:15:32.99
and on commercials.
00:15:33.03\00:15:34.43
But you know,
00:15:34.46\00:15:35.80
your greatest work is
what you're doing now.
00:15:35.83\00:15:38.13
Praise the Lord.
00:15:38.17\00:15:39.50
And this song,
00:15:39.53\00:15:41.24
I'm just saying
00:15:41.27\00:15:44.11
it just doesn't get
any better than this.
00:15:44.14\00:15:46.88
Praise the Lord.
00:15:46.91\00:15:48.24
Listen as Yvonne
Lewis sings for you,
00:15:48.28\00:15:50.35
Praise His Holy Name.
00:15:50.38\00:15:52.65
Praise the Lord
00:16:21.48\00:16:27.68
From whom all blessings flow
00:16:27.72\00:16:34.52
For He has washed
00:16:34.56\00:16:40.56
And made me white
00:16:40.60\00:16:45.27
As snow
00:16:45.30\00:16:49.27
I'm redeemed
00:16:49.30\00:16:55.34
From all my sin and shame
00:16:55.38\00:17:02.12
For now
00:17:02.15\00:17:04.75
And forever
00:17:04.79\00:17:10.03
Praise His holy name
00:17:10.06\00:17:14.23
Praise
00:17:17.27\00:17:19.10
His holy name
00:17:19.13\00:17:24.27
Praise
00:17:24.31\00:17:26.17

00:17:26.21\00:17:30.95
To God be the glory
00:17:30.98\00:17:34.72
Now and forever
00:17:34.75\00:17:38.22
Praise His holy name
00:17:38.25\00:17:44.16
God is great
00:18:07.55\00:18:13.62
And greatly to be praised
00:18:13.66\00:18:20.50
Above
00:18:20.53\00:18:23.06
All others
00:18:23.10\00:18:28.10
Let His name be raised
00:18:28.14\00:18:34.84
Saints
00:18:34.88\00:18:37.11
And angels
00:18:37.15\00:18:42.05
Evermore proclaim
00:18:42.08\00:18:47.82
That He alone
00:18:47.86\00:18:51.69
is worthy
00:18:51.73\00:18:55.63
Praise
00:18:55.66\00:18:57.00
His holy name
00:18:57.03\00:19:02.50
Praise His holy name
00:19:02.54\00:19:06.34
Praise His holy name
00:19:09.38\00:19:15.85
To God be the glory
00:19:15.88\00:19:19.45
Now and forever
00:19:19.49\00:19:23.16
Praise His holy name
00:19:23.19\00:19:26.93
Praise
00:19:30.67\00:19:32.20

00:19:32.23\00:19:37.27
Praise
00:19:37.31\00:19:38.97
His holy name
00:19:39.01\00:19:43.98
To God be the glory
00:19:44.01\00:19:47.52
To God be the glory
00:19:50.85\00:19:54.39
To God be the glory
00:19:57.93\00:20:02.10
Now and forever
00:20:02.13\00:20:06.03
Praise

00:20:45.27\00:20:49.44
Now and forever
00:20:49.48\00:20:53.28
Praise
00:20:53.31\00:20:55.88
His holy name
00:20:55.92\00:21:01.66
Wow.
00:21:14.90\00:21:17.07
I am just gonna guess
the angels are jealous.
00:21:17.11\00:21:21.61
They're just...
00:21:21.64\00:21:23.21
You know, sometimes I wonder
00:21:23.24\00:21:24.58
if God just tells the
angels, Hey, y'all watch this.
00:21:24.61\00:21:26.25
This is going to be really good.
00:21:26.28\00:21:28.68
I think He just did.
00:21:28.72\00:21:30.05
Yvonne, tell us
what you're doing now?
00:21:30.09\00:21:32.25
Okay.
00:21:32.29\00:21:33.62
Just up to speed. Okay good.
00:21:33.66\00:21:34.99
So the Lord,
00:21:35.02\00:21:37.03
Oh, okay.
00:21:37.06\00:21:38.53
I don't even
know where to start.
00:21:38.56\00:21:40.53
I was able to come out here
00:21:40.56\00:21:43.33
and get interviewed
about a book I had written.
00:21:43.37\00:21:46.84
Danny Shelton interviewed me
00:21:46.87\00:21:49.24
and they had had this network
00:21:49.27\00:21:52.41
that had just never taken off.
00:21:52.44\00:21:54.71
So it just kind of
laid dormant for a while
00:21:54.74\00:21:57.31
called Dare to Dream.
00:21:57.35\00:21:58.68
Okay.
00:21:58.71\00:22:00.05
And Dare to Dream is
24/7 Christian programming
00:22:00.08\00:22:03.75
designed with
urban audiences in mind.
00:22:03.79\00:22:07.09
So we have
programming on everything
00:22:07.12\00:22:09.99
from health to relationships,
00:22:10.03\00:22:12.33
to money management,
00:22:12.36\00:22:13.93
to even a program
by for ex-offenders
00:22:13.96\00:22:19.63
hosted by an ex-offender
00:22:19.67\00:22:21.77
because there's
just so much going on.
00:22:21.80\00:22:24.07
And so to me
whether, Bill, this is like,
00:22:24.11\00:22:27.28
this is why I was placed here
00:22:27.31\00:22:29.61
because the Lord has allowed me
to get these programs together
00:22:29.64\00:22:34.58
and put them on the air.
00:22:34.62\00:22:36.18
And if you wanna see that,
00:22:36.22\00:22:38.89
viewer, you can
go to d2dnetwork.tv
00:22:38.92\00:22:42.89
and watch 24/7 programming
on all different topics.
00:22:42.92\00:22:47.93
And people need the law.
00:22:47.96\00:22:50.67
There's so many
people who are hurting
00:22:50.70\00:22:52.57
and they're wondering,
00:22:52.60\00:22:53.94
how do I live
out my Christianity?
00:22:53.97\00:22:56.71
And you have a
new recording out.
00:22:56.74\00:22:58.24
I do. I do.
00:22:58.27\00:22:59.94
It's called...
00:22:59.97\00:23:01.31
With all the songs that
people are hearing today.
00:23:01.34\00:23:02.68
Yes.
00:23:02.71\00:23:04.05
It's called Magnify Him.
00:23:04.08\00:23:05.41
And it's all about
lifting up the name of Jesus
00:23:05.45\00:23:08.32
and magnifying Him
00:23:08.35\00:23:09.68
because He is
worthy to be praised.
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.75
As the host of the show,
00:23:11.79\00:23:13.12
I guess I can
kind of call the shots.
00:23:13.15\00:23:14.82
There you go.
00:23:14.86\00:23:17.23
So I'm gonna ask
00:23:17.26\00:23:18.59
if we can do a song together.
00:23:18.63\00:23:20.40
Oh, I'd love it.
00:23:20.43\00:23:22.16
I like the old hymns,
00:23:22.20\00:23:24.57
In The Garden is
one of my favorites.
00:23:24.60\00:23:25.93
My dad used to...
00:23:25.97\00:23:27.30
I used to love to hear
my dad sing In The Garden.
00:23:27.34\00:23:28.67
Could we do In The
Garden? I would love it.
00:23:28.70\00:23:31.37
Let's do that.
00:23:31.41\00:23:32.74
And thank you again so much
00:23:32.77\00:23:35.04
for being a guest today.
00:23:35.08\00:23:38.98
Only eternity will tell
00:23:39.01\00:23:40.95
the people's lives
who have been impacted
00:23:40.98\00:23:43.59
and people who've
responded Christ today
00:23:43.62\00:23:45.85
because of what they've seen.
00:23:45.89\00:23:47.92
And if you're watching
00:23:47.96\00:23:49.29
and you don't know
Christ as your savior,
00:23:49.32\00:23:52.23
that's why we're here.
00:23:52.26\00:23:53.60
That's what this
is really all about.
00:23:53.63\00:23:56.13
We use the gifts and talents
00:23:56.16\00:23:58.73
that people have
00:23:58.77\00:24:00.20
and their
testimonies in their lives
00:24:00.24\00:24:02.17
and their talent and their time.
00:24:02.20\00:24:04.41
But it's all for the purpose
00:24:04.44\00:24:07.31
of sharing
faith in Jesus Christ,
00:24:07.34\00:24:09.34
because He is the only
answer to life's questions.
00:24:09.38\00:24:13.48
Thank you so much
for watching today.
00:24:13.52\00:24:14.98
I'm Billy Blackwood
and my precious guest
00:24:15.02\00:24:18.15
Yvonne Lewis.
00:24:18.19\00:24:19.52
And we're gonna make
our way over to the set
00:24:19.55\00:24:22.49
to sing one of our
favorite old hymns In The Garden
00:24:22.52\00:24:25.56
while our friend
Tim Parton plays for us.
00:24:25.59\00:24:28.96
So thank you for watching today.
00:24:29.00\00:24:30.37
God bless you.
00:24:30.40\00:24:32.10
I come to the garden
00:24:44.58\00:24:50.49
Alone
00:24:50.52\00:24:55.59
While the dew
00:24:55.62\00:24:59.03
Is still on
00:24:59.06\00:25:01.86
The roses
00:25:01.90\00:25:06.74
And the voice I hear
00:25:06.77\00:25:11.97
Falling on my ear
00:25:12.01\00:25:18.21
The Son of God
00:25:18.25\00:25:23.82
Discloses
00:25:23.85\00:25:30.43
And He walks
00:25:30.46\00:25:35.13
With me
00:25:35.16\00:25:36.90
And He talks
00:25:36.93\00:25:39.90
With me
00:25:39.93\00:25:42.30
And He tells me
00:25:42.34\00:25:45.51
I am his own
00:25:45.54\00:25:51.78
And the joy we share
00:25:51.81\00:25:56.95
As we tarry there
00:25:56.99\00:26:03.22
None other
00:26:03.26\00:26:06.66
Has ever known
00:26:06.70\00:26:12.13
He speaks
00:26:20.68\00:26:23.18
And the sound of His voice
00:26:23.21\00:26:26.82
Is so sweet
00:26:29.95\00:26:33.59
The birds hush
00:26:33.62\00:26:36.29
Their singing
00:26:36.32\00:26:41.13
And the melody
00:26:41.16\00:26:46.40
That He gave to me
00:26:46.43\00:26:50.77
Within my heart
00:26:50.81\00:26:57.05
Is ringing
00:26:57.08\00:27:03.08
And He walks
00:27:03.12\00:27:07.69
With me
00:27:07.72\00:27:09.32
And He talks with me
00:27:09.36\00:27:14.36
And He tells me
00:27:14.40\00:27:17.67
I am his own
00:27:17.70\00:27:23.61
And the joy we share
00:27:23.64\00:27:29.21
As we tarry there
00:27:29.24\00:27:34.35
None other
00:27:37.65\00:27:42.12
Has ever
00:27:42.16\00:27:48.56
Known
00:27:48.60\00:27:52.70
