Welcome to 3ABN
Australia Homecoming.
00:00:20.22\00:00:25.32
Music...
00:00:25.35\00:00:30.99
Hi and welcome a half
hour of congregational singing.
00:00:31.03\00:00:35.56
Back in the States, I
have a program called,
00:00:35.60\00:00:38.87
"Your Favorites by Request"
00:00:38.90\00:00:40.24
and I am delighted at the
people who I have met here
00:00:40.27\00:00:43.97
at Australia 3ABN... and
in the... at the Homecoming
00:00:44.01\00:00:47.74
who have said
that they sing along
00:00:47.78\00:00:50.91
and I'm just...
it amazes me because
00:00:50.95\00:00:54.02
back in the Studio in
West Frankfort, Illinois,
00:00:54.05\00:00:56.95
I think I'm just
singing to myself
00:00:56.99\00:00:59.29
but lo and behold, there
are people actually listening
00:00:59.32\00:01:03.02
and singing along
00:01:03.06\00:01:04.39
so, thank you,
thank you, thank you
00:01:04.43\00:01:06.66
and I'm honored and humbled.
00:01:06.70\00:01:08.43
Nothing I've done
but it's wonderful songs
00:01:08.46\00:01:11.80
that we all know and love
and so, we sing them together,
00:01:11.83\00:01:14.90
so, as long as you continue
to send in your requests,
00:01:14.94\00:01:17.97
to tim. parton@3abn. org
00:01:18.01\00:01:21.51
I will continue singing them,
00:01:21.54\00:01:23.51
one lady sent me
recently, 52 songs...
00:01:23.55\00:01:26.05
so, she's going to wrap
up the whole year for me
00:01:26.08\00:01:28.58
and I'll have to wait
for yours till next year,
00:01:28.62\00:01:31.05
so, if you don't
hear yours till next year,
00:01:31.09\00:01:33.49
you'll know why... but...
00:01:33.52\00:01:35.22
because I take them
first come... first served.
00:01:35.29\00:01:38.29
But anyway, today
we're just going to sing
00:01:38.36\00:01:40.46
some wonderful songs.
00:01:40.50\00:01:41.83
I hope you came ready to sing
00:01:41.86\00:01:43.50
and I hope that
you know these songs.
00:01:43.53\00:01:45.67
I hope that they bring
back some great memories
00:01:45.70\00:01:48.20
and sometimes our churches don't
sing familiar songs anymore
00:01:48.24\00:01:51.77
or some of the older ones,
00:01:51.81\00:01:53.14
but these are great
old hymns of the faith
00:01:53.17\00:01:55.84
right out of the hymnal
00:01:55.88\00:01:57.25
and we'll have the words here
on the wall... you sing along
00:01:57.28\00:02:01.02
and hopefully it's in a
key that you can sing along,
00:02:01.05\00:02:03.59
if you don't sing along,
just smile really loud, okay.
00:02:03.62\00:02:06.09
Can you smile
loud? Let's do this.
00:02:06.15\00:02:08.46
Piano... Blessed
Assurance Jesus is mine.
00:02:08.49\00:02:18.03
Song.
00:02:18.07\00:04:44.18
I'm praising my Savior...
00:04:44.21\00:04:45.55
Song.
00:04:45.58\00:04:56.73
Amen.
00:04:56.76\00:04:58.09
Precious... precious music...
00:04:58.13\00:04:59.86
This is a great song,
"In the Sweet By and By. "
00:04:59.89\00:05:05.53
There's a land
that is fairer than day.
00:05:05.57\00:05:08.27
Song.
00:05:08.30\00:07:32.45
Yeah, you sing it once.
00:07:32.48\00:07:34.22
Song.
00:07:34.25\00:07:58.84
That's wonderful...
00:07:58.87\00:08:00.28
give yourselves
a hand... why not?
00:08:00.31\00:08:01.64
I love it...
00:08:01.68\00:08:03.01
that's great.
00:08:03.04\00:08:04.38
Piano...
00:08:04.41\00:08:09.58
more piano...
00:08:09.62\00:08:14.02
Song.
00:08:14.06\00:10:40.20
Amen! I love it.
00:10:40.24\00:10:42.70
Praise the Lord, He does save.
00:10:42.74\00:10:44.71
Still is very dear... He saves.
00:10:44.74\00:10:47.91
"Take the name
of Jesus with you. "
00:10:47.94\00:10:56.82
Song.
00:10:56.85\00:13:12.65
One more verse.
00:13:12.69\00:13:14.02
Song.
00:13:14.06\00:13:59.93
Amen... wow! precious.
00:13:59.97\00:14:02.77
Piano...
00:14:02.80\00:14:09.94
My Jesus I love Thee
00:14:09.98\00:14:15.82
my Jesus, 'tis now.
00:14:15.88\00:14:21.69
Song.
00:14:21.72\00:15:09.50
Don't you know He's smiling...
00:15:09.54\00:15:10.87
I love that.
00:15:10.91\00:15:12.27
Beautiful singing you all.
00:15:12.31\00:15:14.94
I love Thee
because thou has first...
00:15:14.98\00:15:17.75
Song.
00:15:17.78\00:17:50.70
That's beautiful!
00:17:50.73\00:17:54.34
"Be still, my soul. "
00:17:54.37\00:18:02.44
Be still my soul...
00:18:02.48\00:18:09.95
Piano.
00:18:09.98\00:18:13.96
Song.
00:18:13.99\00:21:02.16
Praise the Lord.
00:21:02.19\00:21:03.86
That's priceless, you know,
00:21:03.89\00:21:06.09
such words... thank
the Lord that He gave
00:21:06.13\00:21:08.73
writers words... right...
00:21:08.76\00:21:13.10
melodies are beautiful
and we remember a lot of songs
00:21:13.13\00:21:17.74
you know, by putting
the melodies to the words
00:21:17.77\00:21:21.94
or the words to the melody
whichever we think of first,
00:21:21.98\00:21:24.05
but if it weren't for the words,
00:21:24.08\00:21:26.45
it would just
be a bunch of music
00:21:26.48\00:21:28.78
and that's... anyway...
00:21:28.82\00:21:30.59
I just love words...
00:21:30.62\00:21:32.29
now, I'm not good at memorizing
words... remembering words...
00:21:32.32\00:21:36.12
thank God for the man
who created the teleprompter
00:21:36.16\00:21:41.03
and the screen
00:21:41.06\00:21:42.40
and thank God for the teachers
who taught me how to read
00:21:42.43\00:21:45.30
and...
otherwise, I'm half ignorant
00:21:45.33\00:21:51.61
but anyway... I have
led congregations before
00:21:51.64\00:21:57.71
where we would
sing out of the hymnals
00:21:57.75\00:21:59.58
and I remember one Sabbath
that I was leading in a church
00:21:59.61\00:22:05.92
that I hadn't been to
00:22:05.95\00:22:07.29
and I took a hymnal that I
thought they might be using
00:22:07.32\00:22:11.19
and so, I was... I
would call out a number
00:22:11.23\00:22:15.90
and I would kick it off
and start with the intro
00:22:15.93\00:22:19.77
and I'd be into
the first verse well
00:22:19.80\00:22:21.90
and I'd see this "deer
in the headlights" look
00:22:21.94\00:22:25.57
or "kangaroo in the headlights"
look... may be as it were...
00:22:25.61\00:22:28.94
and they didn't
know what I was singing
00:22:28.98\00:22:31.91
because I was from...
calling from a different hymnal
00:22:31.95\00:22:34.68
and so...
that's why it's nice...
00:22:34.72\00:22:37.79
I know a lot of people don't
like the words on the wall,
00:22:37.82\00:22:40.02
but at least we all
know what we're singing
00:22:40.06\00:22:41.72
the same words... okay...
00:22:41.76\00:22:43.29
so, anyway... that has
nothing to do with this
00:22:43.32\00:22:46.39
except for the fact, I
do love to tell the story
00:22:46.43\00:22:49.46
and that is the
name of the next song.
00:22:49.50\00:22:51.53
I Love to Tell the Story.
00:22:51.57\00:22:53.17
We'll sing this in the key of F
00:22:53.20\00:22:56.50
so, if you... if
you play the guitar
00:22:56.54\00:22:57.94
strum along with me in
the key of F, all right.
00:22:57.97\00:23:01.21
Piano.
00:23:01.24\00:23:10.52
Song.
00:23:10.55\00:24:06.94
Now you sing it.
00:24:06.98\00:24:09.18
Song.
00:24:09.21\00:27:31.58
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...
sweetest name I know...
00:27:31.61\00:27:39.19
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.
00:27:39.25\00:27:46.80
Thanks for singing along...
00:27:46.83\00:27:51.80
it's been wonderful, thank you.
00:27:51.83\00:27:54.10
