Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.77
Magnify the Lord
00:00:04.80\00:00:08.64
Jesus alone is worthy
00:00:08.67\00:00:11.54
Magnify Him
00:00:11.57\00:00:15.54
Welcome to "Magnify Him."
My name is Duawne Starling.
00:00:19.65\00:00:22.82
And I'm Yvonne Lewis.
Thank you for tuning in.
00:00:22.85\00:00:25.89
Once again we're going
to present artists to you
00:00:25.92\00:00:28.32
who are focused on lifting up
00:00:28.36\00:00:29.92
the name of
Jesus with their gifts.
00:00:29.96\00:00:32.23
Yes, and the songs you will hear
00:00:32.26\00:00:34.03
will truly lift up
00:00:34.06\00:00:35.40
and magnify our magnificent God.
00:00:35.43\00:00:38.03
So stay tune as we lift up
00:00:38.07\00:00:40.24
the name of
Jesus and magnify Him.
00:00:40.27\00:00:44.07
Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:44.11\00:00:47.01
Magnify Him
00:00:47.04\00:00:52.15
I'd like for you to
join me in welcoming
00:00:52.18\00:00:54.98
Mervyn Chapman to Magnify Him.
00:00:55.02\00:00:57.55
Thank you. It's good to be here.
00:00:57.59\00:00:58.92
So good to have
you. Praise the Lord.
00:00:58.95\00:01:00.56
Tell us about your ministry.
00:01:00.59\00:01:03.12
How did you get
started in music?
00:01:03.16\00:01:05.56
Well, I come
from a musical family.
00:01:05.59\00:01:09.86
My father was a minister.
00:01:09.90\00:01:11.93
We grew up singing at home
00:01:11.97\00:01:13.44
for worship a lot
and singing at church.
00:01:13.47\00:01:16.50
It died of a lot, I remember
singing a few times at college,
00:01:16.54\00:01:20.44
but, you know, when I turned 30,
00:01:20.48\00:01:22.81
I realized
that-- I said to myself,
00:01:22.84\00:01:24.81
you know, this is when
Jesus started His ministry.
00:01:24.85\00:01:26.72
Wow! What am I doing for Christ?
00:01:26.75\00:01:29.18
You know, what's
going to my legacy?
00:01:29.22\00:01:30.85
What are my kids
going to know me for?
00:01:30.89\00:01:32.92
And how will I improve
and help the kingdom of God?
00:01:32.95\00:01:36.62
You didn't sing
really until you were 30?
00:01:36.66\00:01:38.83
Didn't really,
not very organized,
00:01:38.86\00:01:40.90
just here and there every once
in a while for song service,
00:01:40.93\00:01:43.93
you know, filling
in here and there.
00:01:43.97\00:01:46.00
And so at that time,
00:01:46.03\00:01:48.00
you know, I decided to
start singing a little bit more
00:01:48.04\00:01:50.61
so my ministry is
just getting started,
00:01:50.64\00:01:54.18
I've not been in this very long.
00:01:54.21\00:01:55.64
Okay. Oh, that's wonderful.
00:01:55.68\00:01:57.81
What do you
envision as the direction,
00:01:57.85\00:02:01.48
the path that God has
taken you down musically?
00:02:01.52\00:02:04.19
Well, somebody used
a term with me earlier
00:02:04.22\00:02:07.16
that God has invested in
me, and I take that to heart.
00:02:07.19\00:02:10.59
I want to give God a
good return on His investment.
00:02:10.63\00:02:13.86
And souls are so precious.
00:02:13.90\00:02:15.83
If I were to live my entire life
00:02:15.86\00:02:18.00
and bring what, just one
person to Christ with my music,
00:02:18.03\00:02:21.10
I think it would be worth
it, so my goal is just to help
00:02:21.14\00:02:25.07
people realize that
Christ is there for them
00:02:25.11\00:02:27.11
that Christ is our savior
00:02:27.14\00:02:29.64
and that we need to
give our all to Him.
00:02:29.68\00:02:32.11
Praise the Lord.
00:02:32.15\00:02:34.02
Usually you need to know that
no matter where you're in life,
00:02:34.05\00:02:37.45
it's never too late to
begin a ministry for Christ.
00:02:37.49\00:02:41.02
Brother Mervyn here started
at 30 to minister in music.
00:02:41.06\00:02:45.03
If your gift isn't music,
it could just be hospitality,
00:02:45.06\00:02:48.53
it could be whatever it
is, God has a plan for you.
00:02:48.56\00:02:52.87
As you listen to
Brother Mervyn today,
00:02:52.90\00:02:55.10
meditate on the
lyrics to his songs
00:02:55.14\00:02:57.87
and know that God has
something special for you,
00:02:57.91\00:03:01.98
just bask in His presence.
00:03:02.01\00:03:03.91
May God bless you as
you listen to Brother Mervyn
00:03:03.95\00:03:07.62
magnify our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:03:07.65\00:03:12.29
Time measured out my days
00:03:29.04\00:03:35.41
Life carried me along
00:03:35.44\00:03:42.78
In my soul I
yearned to follow God
00:03:42.82\00:03:50.23
But knew I'd never be so strong
00:03:50.26\00:03:56.26
I looked hard at this world
00:03:56.30\00:04:01.20
To know how
heaven could be gained
00:04:01.24\00:04:09.14
Just to end where I began
00:04:09.18\00:04:13.92
Where human
effort is all in vain
00:04:13.95\00:04:20.92
Were it not for grace
00:04:24.16\00:04:31.57
I can tell you where I'd be
00:04:31.60\00:04:38.91
Wandering down at some
pointless road to nowhere
00:04:38.94\00:04:45.95
With my salvation up to me
00:04:45.98\00:04:51.95
I know how that would go
00:04:51.99\00:04:58.53
The battles I would face
00:04:58.56\00:05:05.73
Forever running
but losing the race
00:05:05.77\00:05:13.17
Were it not for grace
00:05:13.21\00:05:20.22
So here is all my praise
00:05:23.39\00:05:31.03
Expressed with all my heart
00:05:31.06\00:05:38.37
Offered to the
Friend who took my place
00:05:38.40\00:05:45.77
And ran the
course I could not start
00:05:45.81\00:05:51.71
And when He saw in full
00:05:51.75\00:05:56.69
Just how much
His love would cost
00:05:56.72\00:06:04.69
He still went the final
mile between me and heaven
00:06:04.73\00:06:12.67
So I would not be lost
00:06:12.70\00:06:19.54
Were it not for grace
00:06:19.57\00:06:27.05
I can tell you where I'd be
00:06:27.08\00:06:34.32
Wandering down at some
pointless road to nowhere
00:06:34.36\00:06:41.66
With my salvation up to me
00:06:41.70\00:06:47.67
I know how that would go
00:06:47.70\00:06:54.31
The battles I would face
00:06:54.34\00:07:01.52
Forever running
but losing the race
00:07:01.55\00:07:08.62
Were it not for grace
00:07:08.66\00:07:16.10
Forever running
but losing the race
00:07:16.13\00:07:24.04
Were it not for grace
00:07:24.07\00:07:31.98
This song is a reminder to me
00:07:44.76\00:07:46.96
that whether
we're on the mountaintop
00:07:47.00\00:07:49.70
or whether we're suffering
through wilderness experience,
00:07:49.73\00:07:52.73
God is here with us.
00:07:52.77\00:07:54.20
He is here to
comfort and to guide.
00:07:54.24\00:07:57.11
I sense the awesome moving
00:08:11.25\00:08:19.19
Of the Holy Spirit
00:08:19.23\00:08:26.70
I see His countenance
00:08:26.74\00:08:32.01
Resting on your face
00:08:32.04\00:08:39.88
I know that there are angels
00:08:39.91\00:08:45.95
Hovering all around us
00:08:45.99\00:08:51.73
For the presence of the Lord
00:08:51.76\00:08:59.37
Is in this place
00:08:59.40\00:09:07.01
He is here, Hallelujah
00:09:07.04\00:09:14.55
He is here, Amen
00:09:14.58\00:09:21.96
He is here, Holy, Holy
00:09:21.99\00:09:29.30
I will bless His name again
00:09:29.33\00:09:36.74
He is here, listen closely
00:09:36.77\00:09:44.05
Hear Him calling out your name
00:09:44.08\00:09:51.39
He is here, you can touch Him
00:09:51.42\00:09:59.33
You will never be the same
00:09:59.36\00:10:06.60
I searched for peace
00:10:13.58\00:10:19.75
In the shadows, dark and lonely
00:10:19.78\00:10:26.45
Gave up on finding true
00:10:26.49\00:10:33.19
And lasting love
00:10:33.23\00:10:39.20
I tasted all those things
00:10:39.23\00:10:44.67
That sin could fear to offer
00:10:44.71\00:10:50.91
But today I feast on manna
00:10:50.95\00:10:57.92
From above
00:10:57.95\00:11:05.33
He is here, Hallelujah
00:11:05.36\00:11:13.17
He is here, Amen
00:11:13.20\00:11:20.58
He is here, Holy, Holy
00:11:20.61\00:11:27.92
I will bless His name again
00:11:27.95\00:11:35.29
He is here, listen closely
00:11:35.32\00:11:42.76
Hear Him calling out your name
00:11:42.80\00:11:49.94
He is here, you can touch Him
00:11:49.97\00:11:57.68
You will never be the same
00:11:57.71\00:12:05.25
He is here, Hallelujah
00:12:09.19\00:12:17.17
He is here, Amen
00:12:18.50\00:12:25.87
He is here, Holy, Holy
00:12:25.91\00:12:33.85
I will bless His name again
00:12:33.88\00:12:41.72
He is here, listen closely
00:12:41.76\00:12:49.00
Hear Him calling out your name
00:12:49.03\00:12:56.04
He is here, you can touch Him
00:12:56.07\00:13:03.41
You will never be the same
00:13:03.45\00:13:11.39
He is here, you can touch Him
00:13:11.42\00:13:19.29
You will never be
00:13:20.36\00:13:28.34
The same
00:13:29.07\00:13:34.28
Never be the same
00:13:37.55\00:13:45.35
Magnify the Lord with me
00:13:59.20\00:14:02.20
Magnify Him
00:14:02.24\00:14:07.91
I'm here with Andre
Chapman, a wonderful man of God.
00:14:07.94\00:14:11.05
Thank you, Andre,
for being on Magnify Him.
00:14:11.08\00:14:13.11
It's a pleasure
to be here, Duawne.
00:14:13.15\00:14:14.95
So let start off
with where you're from?
00:14:14.98\00:14:17.99
I was born in Jamaica,
raised in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:14:18.02\00:14:20.36
Came here when I
was 11 years old.
00:14:20.39\00:14:22.32
And my brother who I'm
going to sing with later,
00:14:22.36\00:14:25.09
he was born in
New York and came to,
00:14:25.13\00:14:27.66
you know, to the-as well.
00:14:27.70\00:14:29.03
Okay.
00:14:29.06\00:14:30.40
So do you and your
brother sing together a lot?
00:14:30.43\00:14:32.37
We started about
00:14:32.40\00:14:33.74
three years ago singing together
00:14:33.77\00:14:35.10
but we were looking
to do that some more.
00:14:35.14\00:14:37.57
We're mostly solo artists.
00:14:37.61\00:14:39.31
I may go up to weddings
00:14:39.34\00:14:40.68
and different
churches I'll be singing.
00:14:40.71\00:14:42.24
Now who is some
of your influences?
00:14:42.28\00:14:44.18
I would say Wintley Phipps,
Larnelle Harris, Steve Green.
00:14:44.21\00:14:47.42
Very good. Very good.
00:14:47.45\00:14:48.78
We have similar taste.
00:14:48.82\00:14:50.32
We do. We do.
00:14:50.35\00:14:51.69
That's good. That's good.
00:14:51.72\00:14:53.05
Now of those people are
there are any other people
00:14:53.09\00:14:54.79
that have made an
impact on you, could be family?
00:14:54.82\00:14:57.33
Well, actually my brother.
00:14:57.36\00:14:58.69
My brother has been a
big influence in my life
00:14:58.73\00:15:00.63
and helped me to get
to know Christ better.
00:15:00.66\00:15:02.56
We were teenagers, he
probably doesn't know it,
00:15:02.60\00:15:04.50
but he has played a big role
and helped me to know the Lord.
00:15:04.53\00:15:08.64
There is something
about the bond of brothers.
00:15:08.67\00:15:11.14
I mean, I love to see
siblings in ministry together.
00:15:11.17\00:15:13.88
I love to see
siblings singing together
00:15:13.91\00:15:16.75
so I mean it would be great
00:15:16.78\00:15:18.11
to see you guys do
more things together.
00:15:18.15\00:15:19.75
Yes, we're really
looking to expand our ministry,
00:15:19.78\00:15:22.18
and hopefully the Lord
will bless us so we can.
00:15:22.22\00:15:24.52
I believe He
will because you know,
00:15:24.55\00:15:26.55
one thing that I noticed
about you in your sound check
00:15:26.59\00:15:28.92
is just the spirit of humility.
00:15:28.96\00:15:32.46
And it's in that
same spirit of humility
00:15:32.49\00:15:35.23
that I know you'll be blessed
00:15:35.26\00:15:37.37
by the ministry
of Andre Chapman.
00:15:37.40\00:15:40.77
Prepare your hearts`
00:15:40.80\00:15:42.14
and prepare your
souls to be blessed.
00:15:42.17\00:15:45.21
Who will hear
the music that I hear
00:15:52.48\00:15:58.69
Who will hear the
sound that fills the air
00:15:58.72\00:16:05.13
Who will see a
radiant beam of light
00:16:05.16\00:16:11.27
Dancing for a sun
that warms the morning sky
00:16:11.30\00:16:17.97
Who will know the
beauty of My earth
00:16:18.01\00:16:24.21
Sense the joy and
wonder of its birth
00:16:24.25\00:16:30.69
Who will see the
glory of the world
00:16:30.72\00:16:35.39
That I have made
00:16:35.42\00:16:40.53
And who will walk
beside me in the garden
00:16:40.56\00:16:46.50
In the coolness of the day
00:16:46.53\00:16:53.54
Creation's glorious song
00:16:55.34\00:17:01.78
That comes from my heart
00:17:01.82\00:17:06.89
Expresses strains of love
00:17:06.92\00:17:13.06
But only in part
00:17:13.09\00:17:18.17
I long to hear the words
00:17:18.20\00:17:24.37
The words that are true
00:17:24.41\00:17:29.14
Someone to hear my heart
00:17:29.18\00:17:32.98
Belongs to you
00:17:33.01\00:17:39.02
And who will
feel the summer wind
00:17:39.05\00:17:42.29
That moves across
the water as it flows
00:17:42.32\00:17:49.60
Who will enjoy the
orchestrated mystery
00:17:49.63\00:17:54.44
That soars within My soul
00:17:54.47\00:17:57.01
Who will hear the glory
of the music that I hear
00:17:57.04\00:18:02.44
I will create man
to be in My own image
00:18:02.48\00:18:07.75
Form him from the dust of
earth and breathe into him
00:18:07.78\00:18:12.82
My own breath of life
00:18:12.85\00:18:20.80
Lord, I hear You speak to me
00:18:37.81\00:18:44.99
How lovely are Your words
00:18:46.32\00:18:54.26
How beautiful
00:18:54.30\00:19:00.20
The sound
00:19:00.24\00:19:02.77
This wondrous paradise
00:19:02.80\00:19:07.24
And all that you see
00:19:07.28\00:19:13.11
Could never match the joy
00:19:13.15\00:19:17.22
When You're here with me
00:19:17.25\00:19:23.43
The message of My song
00:19:23.46\00:19:27.83
Will always be true
00:19:27.86\00:19:33.50
Mi Corazon
00:19:33.54\00:19:36.60
My heart belongs to you
00:19:36.64\00:19:43.01
You will enjoy the
orchestrated mystery
00:19:43.04\00:19:47.78
That soars within My soul
00:19:47.82\00:19:53.12
And we can feel the summer wind
00:19:53.15\00:19:56.26
That moves across the water
00:19:56.29\00:19:58.66
As it flows
00:19:58.69\00:20:05.50
This wondrous paradise
00:20:05.53\00:20:09.80
And all that you see
00:20:09.84\00:20:12.21
That comes from my heart
00:20:12.24\00:20:16.04
Could never match the joy
00:20:16.08\00:20:19.88
When You're here with me
00:20:19.91\00:20:22.65
But only in part
00:20:22.68\00:20:25.99
The message of our song
00:20:26.02\00:20:31.03
Will always be true
00:20:31.06\00:20:32.83
The words that are true
00:20:32.86\00:20:37.20
Someone to hear my hear
00:20:37.23\00:20:40.97
Belongs to You
00:20:41.00\00:20:47.08
The message of our song
00:21:03.56\00:21:07.90
Will always be true
00:21:07.93\00:21:10.27
The words that are true
00:21:10.30\00:21:14.50
Someone to hear my heart
00:21:14.54\00:21:18.47
Belongs to You
00:21:18.51\00:21:25.01
My life, My love
00:21:25.05\00:21:28.48
My heart belongs to you
00:21:28.52\00:21:35.86
This song is a reminder that
00:22:00.88\00:22:02.32
no matter where
God places you in life,
00:22:02.35\00:22:04.92
He has given you
the power to succeed.
00:22:04.95\00:22:07.76
No, there is no need
to fear. No need to fear.
00:22:07.79\00:22:12.23
No need to fear
00:22:39.35\00:22:43.43
When times of trouble come
00:22:43.46\00:22:49.36
Oppression's storm
00:22:49.40\00:22:54.74
Beats at your door
00:22:54.77\00:22:58.91
No need to fear
00:22:58.94\00:23:05.28
No need to fear
00:23:07.85\00:23:11.52
Though evil seems so strong
00:23:11.55\00:23:17.49
Their pride and power
00:23:17.53\00:23:22.03
Is not for long
00:23:22.06\00:23:26.87
Be still my soul
00:23:26.90\00:23:31.57
And trust in God
00:23:31.61\00:23:36.14
And place your life
00:23:36.18\00:23:41.08
Into his hand
00:23:41.12\00:23:45.29
For he will never
00:23:45.32\00:23:51.56
Never fail you
00:23:51.59\00:23:55.13
And in the morning
00:23:55.16\00:24:00.27
You'll see his face
00:24:00.30\00:24:05.31
No need to fear
00:24:05.34\00:24:10.05
Don't fear
00:24:10.08\00:24:17.52
No need to fear the envy
00:24:23.36\00:24:28.53
And the scorn
00:24:28.56\00:24:32.80
Of those who boast
00:24:32.83\00:24:37.51
In what they own
00:24:37.54\00:24:42.21
No need to fear
00:24:42.24\00:24:48.52
For what remains
00:24:48.55\00:24:52.35
When life's brief day is done
00:24:52.39\00:24:58.63
Their glories are a setting sun
00:24:58.66\00:25:06.23
But as for me
00:25:07.87\00:25:12.84
Of this I'm sure
00:25:12.87\00:25:17.11
God will redeem
00:25:17.15\00:25:22.28
My soul from death
00:25:22.32\00:25:26.59
And he will never
00:25:26.62\00:25:32.79
Never fail you
00:25:32.83\00:25:36.36
And in the morning
00:25:36.40\00:25:41.40
I'll see his face
00:25:41.44\00:25:49.04
And he will never
00:26:08.73\00:26:14.74
Never fail you
00:26:14.77\00:26:18.44
No-one can tear you
00:26:18.47\00:26:23.45
From his love
00:26:23.48\00:26:27.18
And he will never
00:26:27.22\00:26:33.62
Forsake you
00:26:33.66\00:26:37.53
And in the morning
00:26:37.56\00:26:43.37
You'll see his face
00:26:43.40\00:26:51.27
No need to fear
00:26:51.31\00:26:56.71
Don't fear
00:26:56.75\00:27:04.42
Magnify Him
00:27:25.67\00:27:31.05
What a blessing
this program has been.
00:27:31.08\00:27:33.48
The music
ministered to my spirit
00:27:33.52\00:27:35.72
and I hope it
ministered to yours.
00:27:35.75\00:27:37.65
Thanks for tuning in.
00:27:37.69\00:27:39.79
Until we see you next time,
00:27:39.82\00:27:41.26
remember to put
Christ first in all things
00:27:41.29\00:27:44.26
and magnify Him.
00:27:44.29\00:27:46.06
