Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.87
Magnify the Lord
00:00:04.90\00:00:08.57
Jesus alone is worthy
00:00:08.60\00:00:11.64
Magnify Him.
00:00:11.67\00:00:15.74
Hello everyone and
welcome to Magnify Him.
00:00:15.78\00:00:18.18
My name is Duawne
Starling. And I'm Yvonne Lewis.
00:00:18.21\00:00:20.88
Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:00:20.92\00:00:22.68
And, Duawne, I'm
so glad you're back.
00:00:22.72\00:00:24.42
We missed you. It's
not the same without you.
00:00:24.45\00:00:26.55
Oh, good. I'm glad to be back.
00:00:26.59\00:00:27.96
So you can't
shaft on us anymore.
00:00:27.99\00:00:30.46
Once again we're going
to present artist to you
00:00:30.49\00:00:32.89
who are focused on
lifting up the name of Jesus
00:00:32.93\00:00:35.66
with their gifts.
00:00:35.70\00:00:37.13
Yes, and the songs you
will hear will truly lift up
00:00:37.17\00:00:40.17
and magnify our magnificent God.
00:00:40.20\00:00:42.80
So stay tuned as we
lift up the name of Jesus
00:00:42.84\00:00:46.04
and magnify Him.
00:00:46.07\00:00:48.78
Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:48.81\00:00:51.81
Magnify Him.
00:00:51.85\00:00:57.29
Here on Magnify
Him, we're often blessed
00:00:57.32\00:01:00.16
with gifted artists who
have powerful ministries
00:01:00.19\00:01:04.43
but it's not so often
00:01:04.46\00:01:05.99
that we get to talk
with friends of ours,
00:01:06.03\00:01:08.76
and today I get to
speak with a friend of mine
00:01:08.80\00:01:12.27
and her name is Marva Mortley.
00:01:12.30\00:01:14.34
Marva, welcome,
welcome, ever welcome.
00:01:14.37\00:01:16.20
Thank you, Duawne.
How are you doing, Duawne?
00:01:16.24\00:01:19.07
I'm good. I'm good.
00:01:19.11\00:01:20.51
So, let's start with
where are you from? Can we?
00:01:20.54\00:01:25.41
I'm originally born
in Brooklyn, New York.
00:01:25.45\00:01:27.55
Brooklyn, New York. Yay!
00:01:27.58\00:01:29.08
And I've moved
recently to Antioch, Tennessee
00:01:29.12\00:01:33.49
which is 20 minutes
outside of Nashville.
00:01:33.52\00:01:35.82
Wonderful. Yeah.
00:01:35.86\00:01:37.19
Now, explain to us
00:01:37.23\00:01:38.56
why the move from
New York to Nashville.
00:01:38.59\00:01:40.90
I wanted to change,
00:01:40.93\00:01:43.26
definitely music.
00:01:43.30\00:01:44.63
Okay.
00:01:44.67\00:01:46.00
And I believe that God has
a calling for me to be here
00:01:46.03\00:01:49.87
so I obeyed and I came
and I know that I'm blessed.
00:01:49.90\00:01:54.94
Always, there is a process...
00:01:54.98\00:01:57.58
Whatever He does,
there is a process.
00:01:57.61\00:01:59.71
And a lot of times
we won't get in line
00:01:59.75\00:02:01.85
or we won't trust the process.
00:02:01.88\00:02:04.12
What is the process been for you
00:02:04.15\00:02:06.45
of developing
your music ministry
00:02:06.49\00:02:09.69
and I'm assuming
that your music ministry
00:02:09.72\00:02:12.39
has taken you to Nashville,
that's part of the process.
00:02:12.43\00:02:17.27
Just
surrendering my plans to His.
00:02:17.30\00:02:20.44
Yeah.
00:02:20.47\00:02:22.54
And trying to be
positive in all things,
00:02:22.57\00:02:25.07
I met some
challenges along the way,
00:02:25.11\00:02:28.91
but doing my best to
keep my eyes focused on Him.
00:02:28.94\00:02:33.42
Yeah.
00:02:33.45\00:02:34.78
And...
00:02:34.82\00:02:37.15
learning my music,
00:02:37.19\00:02:39.22
getting involved
as much as possible
00:02:39.25\00:02:41.52
and throwing my
fresh glowing altar
00:02:41.56\00:02:44.19
and say everything
I'm doing, you know,
00:02:44.23\00:02:47.20
that's where it's at and
I'm very excited about it.
00:02:47.23\00:02:50.53
Now, do you write
music also? Yes, I do it.
00:02:50.57\00:02:53.54
Matter of fact, I wrote a
song that's out there right now,
00:02:53.57\00:02:56.91
and I've been writing
since I was like 14, 16
00:02:56.94\00:03:00.71
but I haven't put all
those songs out there.
00:03:00.74\00:03:03.81
Okay.
00:03:03.85\00:03:05.18
But my one song is
what are you waiting for.
00:03:05.21\00:03:08.35
What is what are
you waiting for about?
00:03:08.38\00:03:12.09
At a young age,
00:03:12.12\00:03:13.66
I started signing as
a singing evangelist.
00:03:13.69\00:03:15.79
Okay.
00:03:15.82\00:03:17.16
And through
those years of singing
00:03:17.19\00:03:20.46
to win souls to Christ, I
just got a picture one day
00:03:20.50\00:03:24.97
of what God is
trying to say to people,
00:03:25.00\00:03:28.60
why are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
00:03:28.64\00:03:30.44
You heard the sermon.
00:03:30.47\00:03:31.81
You've seen the preacher preach.
00:03:31.84\00:03:33.88
You heard the Bible worker
talk to you and counsel you.
00:03:33.91\00:03:37.75
And he knows
00:03:37.78\00:03:39.11
that you're going through
some challenges right now.
00:03:39.15\00:03:41.45
But in respect to
what heaven is like
00:03:41.48\00:03:45.92
and what I have planned for you,
00:03:45.95\00:03:47.96
what are you waiting for.
00:03:47.99\00:03:49.89
And so I wrote the
song based on that.
00:03:49.92\00:03:52.49
And so it's like the altar call.
00:03:52.53\00:03:54.86
But it has a very
contemporary sound to it
00:03:54.90\00:03:58.27
and... I just, I love
the song. I love the song.
00:03:58.30\00:04:03.37
I heard-- This is in
line with what you just said,
00:04:03.41\00:04:05.47
I had a pastor say once
00:04:05.51\00:04:07.31
that we as Christians
are information junkies.
00:04:07.34\00:04:11.21
And we get high on information,
00:04:11.25\00:04:13.31
but what do we do
with the information.
00:04:13.35\00:04:15.42
What are we waiting for?
00:04:15.45\00:04:17.42
Sometimes I think
that we think that
00:04:17.45\00:04:20.66
our situation is grater
than the God that we serve.
00:04:20.69\00:04:25.26
And if we
realize who he really is,
00:04:25.29\00:04:28.86
we can just surrender that
00:04:28.90\00:04:31.00
and know that He is
going to work it out,
00:04:31.03\00:04:32.97
so I just pray that people
will give their lives to God.
00:04:33.00\00:04:37.77
So what can we expect to hear
from you today on Magnify Him?
00:04:37.81\00:04:43.81
The song is "I
understand." I understand.
00:04:43.85\00:04:46.51
By Smokie Norful,
one of my favorites.
00:04:46.55\00:04:49.25
And then the
second song is by J.Moss,
00:04:49.28\00:04:52.02
it's called "We Must
Praise." We must praise.
00:04:52.05\00:04:54.76
Everyday we must praise. Yes.
00:04:54.79\00:04:56.76
No matter what
we're going through.
00:04:56.79\00:04:58.89
Now, are you a
worshipper at heart?
00:04:58.93\00:05:01.23
Yes, I am. Yeah.
00:05:01.26\00:05:02.70
I spend a lot of
time with the God,
00:05:02.73\00:05:05.40
especially these
days lately, morning time
00:05:05.43\00:05:08.54
and sometimes He wakes me
up at 3 o'clock in the morning.
00:05:08.57\00:05:11.91
And it's in those early
morning times that He speaks,
00:05:11.94\00:05:15.14
so I pray that you'll
enjoy the music ministry
00:05:15.18\00:05:17.95
of Marva Mortley.
00:05:17.98\00:05:19.31
Sometimes I feel like giving up
00:05:25.75\00:05:32.43
I feel like my best
00:05:32.46\00:05:34.63
Just ain't good enough
00:05:34.66\00:05:39.53
Lord if you hear
me, I'm calling you
00:05:39.57\00:05:45.94
Do you see, do you care
00:05:45.97\00:05:48.01
All about What I'm going through
00:05:48.04\00:05:52.58
And then he says,one more day
00:05:52.61\00:05:58.25
One more step
00:05:58.29\00:06:01.09
See I'm preparing you
00:06:01.12\00:06:04.59

I'm the Lord, I see
And yes I understand
00:06:17.54\00:06:24.45
But sometimes I feel like
00:06:24.48\00:06:27.52
I'm all alone
00:06:27.55\00:06:31.45
I feel like a
stranger So far from home
00:06:31.49\00:06:38.36
I feel like I've
done All that I can do
00:06:38.39\00:06:45.30
Please Lord give me strength
00:06:45.33\00:06:47.44
I'm just trying
To make it through
00:06:47.47\00:06:51.57
That's when he
told me One more day,

Just how much we can bear
00:07:26.47\00:07:31.95
And in the time of trouble
00:07:31.98\00:07:36.25
He promised he
would always be there
00:07:36.28\00:07:39.55
Now, I understand
00:07:39.59\00:07:42.69

We must always
give God the praise,
00:09:22.12\00:09:24.69
no matter who we are or
what we're going through.
00:09:24.73\00:09:27.80
He knows about our situation,
00:09:27.83\00:09:29.56
but we still got
to give Him praise.
00:09:29.60\00:09:31.63
So let just praise the Lord.
00:09:31.67\00:09:34.44
If I were a drummer
00:09:44.01\00:09:48.95
I would use my cymbals
00:09:48.98\00:09:53.32
And if I were a writer,
00:09:53.36\00:09:58.39
I would use my pencil
00:09:58.43\00:10:03.26
I would use my voice,
00:10:03.30\00:10:08.07

00:11:28.42\00:11:34.46
If I were an eagle,
00:11:34.49\00:11:39.13
I would use my wings
00:11:39.16\00:11:43.53
But since I'm a believer
00:11:43.57\00:11:47.84
I use everything

So make a joyful noise

00:13:16.66\00:13:21.56
He is got you
00:13:21.60\00:13:24.37
We love you
00:13:24.40\00:13:27.14
Give Him all the praise
00:13:27.17\00:13:31.14
I'll worship him
00:13:31.17\00:13:34.08
Put Him first
heart In going today
00:13:34.11\00:13:39.18
We must
00:13:39.21\00:13:42.62
Praise.
00:13:42.65\00:13:47.49
Magnify the Lord with me
00:13:53.19\00:13:56.16
Magnify Him.
00:13:56.20\00:14:02.30
I'd like to welcome
Erika Jones to Magnify Him.
00:14:02.34\00:14:05.41
Welcome Erika.
Thank you so much.
00:14:05.44\00:14:07.54
So good to have you
here. It's great to be here.
00:14:07.58\00:14:10.18
So tell us
about your background.
00:14:10.21\00:14:13.18
Where were you born?
00:14:13.21\00:14:14.55
I was born in
Natchez, Mississippi.
00:14:14.58\00:14:16.25
Okay.
00:14:16.28\00:14:17.62
And from there I moved
to Woodville, Mississippi
00:14:17.65\00:14:19.49
with my parents
and my grandparents
00:14:19.52\00:14:21.32
and from there we
moved to Louisiana
00:14:21.36\00:14:24.79
and Texas and now
back to Louisiana.
00:14:24.83\00:14:28.23
Wow. What part of
Texas were you in?
00:14:28.26\00:14:29.93
I was in Dallas, Texas. I
came here from Dallas, Texas.
00:14:29.96\00:14:33.44
Okay. Now, when were you there?
00:14:33.47\00:14:35.10
I was in Dallas
from 2000 to about 2010.
00:14:35.14\00:14:38.87
Wow!
00:14:38.91\00:14:40.48
I'm surprised that we
never crossed paths in Dallas.
00:14:40.51\00:14:43.14
And Dallas is kind to me,
it's like a little big town,
00:14:43.18\00:14:46.85
you know what I mean. Exactly.
00:14:46.88\00:14:48.22
Isn't it? Exactly.
00:14:48.25\00:14:49.58
So usually you
know some of the people
00:14:49.62\00:14:51.62
from the other churches and all
but I'm glad you're here today.
00:14:51.65\00:14:55.22
Yes, so am I.
00:14:55.26\00:14:56.59
And I know, we're
going to be blessed
00:14:56.62\00:14:57.96
when we hear you sing
00:14:57.99\00:14:59.33
'cause I heard you
in your sound check
00:14:59.36\00:15:00.70
and you just-- God
has really blessed you.
00:15:00.73\00:15:03.16
Praise the Lord.
Have you always sung?
00:15:03.20\00:15:05.50
Have you always sung? I have.
00:15:05.53\00:15:06.87
But I don't remember exactly
when I knew I could sing,
00:15:06.90\00:15:10.71
but I do
remember I had a teacher
00:15:10.74\00:15:12.87
who had me sing on
a Christmas program,
00:15:12.91\00:15:16.85
and I've been
singing ever since,
00:15:16.88\00:15:18.28
I was about seven years old.
00:15:18.31\00:15:20.05
And my debut song
was Naaman, the Leper.
00:15:20.08\00:15:22.42
Oh! And you have to
learn all those words.
00:15:22.45\00:15:24.99
I have to learn all the
words and sing them many times.
00:15:25.02\00:15:29.32
That's great. That's great.
00:15:29.36\00:15:30.96
So you started singing at
seven and your family is musical
00:15:30.99\00:15:35.63
or you the only one?
00:15:35.66\00:15:37.00
Yes, both my
mother and father sing.
00:15:37.03\00:15:39.83
My dad is a soloist as well
00:15:39.87\00:15:42.14
and my brother is
musically inclined,
00:15:42.17\00:15:44.84
however he does not sing.
00:15:44.87\00:15:47.28
Does he play instruments?
00:15:47.31\00:15:48.64
Yes, he plays and he...
00:15:48.68\00:15:50.91
loves to listen to
all kinds of music.
00:15:50.95\00:15:52.95
He is a great critique,
00:15:52.98\00:15:54.32
and helps me
keep myself straight.
00:15:54.35\00:15:57.12
That's good. That's good.
00:15:57.15\00:15:58.72
So at seven you started
singing and then what about
00:15:58.75\00:16:02.52
when you were in high school
in college, did you sing there
00:16:02.56\00:16:05.16
or did you just
kind of stop for a while.
00:16:05.19\00:16:07.20
What'd you do?
00:16:07.23\00:16:08.56
Well, I didn't sing much
in high school besides church,
00:16:08.60\00:16:12.27
and then the older I got
when I went off to college,
00:16:12.30\00:16:15.20
I did sing some
more for different events
00:16:15.24\00:16:18.04
and joined some groups
and then pursuit a solo career
00:16:18.07\00:16:23.04
by writing and
then producing a CD.
00:16:23.08\00:16:25.95
Oh, wonderful.
00:16:25.98\00:16:27.32
Okay, I want to
get back to your CD
00:16:27.35\00:16:28.68
but let's talk a
little bit about college
00:16:28.72\00:16:30.52
because I saw Duawne's
face light up when he saw you
00:16:30.55\00:16:34.32
and Marva today, I
mean this is just--
00:16:34.36\00:16:36.83
it's just great,
he had a chance to see
00:16:36.86\00:16:38.73
two of his friends from Oakwood.
00:16:38.76\00:16:40.30
Did you guys sing in the
same group or what was that?
00:16:40.33\00:16:42.23
Yes, it's a great
reunion we had today.
00:16:42.26\00:16:45.10
But we did,
00:16:45.13\00:16:46.47
we sang in Dynamic
Praise together at Oakwood.
00:16:46.50\00:16:49.40
One of the
things that I noticed,
00:16:49.44\00:16:51.34
I went to Oakwood too
back in, but anyway...
00:16:51.37\00:16:55.98
One of the things that
I noticed about Oakwood
00:16:56.01\00:16:58.08
and I know
you'll concur with this
00:16:58.11\00:16:59.91
is that the talent there,
00:16:59.95\00:17:02.85
I mean it's just so tremendous,
00:17:02.88\00:17:05.65
you can find
every type of singer
00:17:05.69\00:17:09.82
from classical to gospel,
you know, hardcore gospel,
00:17:09.86\00:17:14.66
contemporary gospel,
00:17:14.70\00:17:16.03
I mean it's just such a
plethora of talent there.
00:17:16.06\00:17:20.24
Yes.
00:17:20.27\00:17:21.74
The Aeolians, Dynamic Praise,
00:17:21.77\00:17:24.64
I mean it's just anything
you want there, you can find.
00:17:24.67\00:17:27.61
That's right.
00:17:27.64\00:17:28.98
When you were there
'cause I don't know,
00:17:29.01\00:17:30.35
I know when I was there,
I sang myself into oblivion
00:17:30.38\00:17:33.65
and the next year I
just wasn't singing at all.
00:17:33.68\00:17:36.08
Did you find that you
were singing a lot there
00:17:36.12\00:17:40.12
or where you just
kind of singing a little?
00:17:40.16\00:17:43.09
I was singing a little and
then I joined Dynamic Praise,
00:17:43.12\00:17:46.09
and I think that's what
sort of thrust me into...
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.63
wanting to sing even more.
00:17:48.66\00:17:50.37
So I was able to
cultivate that longing
00:17:50.40\00:17:53.87
and that desire to sing,
and it was nurtured there,
00:17:53.90\00:17:57.51
and so from there I
think it just developed
00:17:57.54\00:17:59.67
into something much more.
00:17:59.71\00:18:01.28
Hmm.
00:18:01.31\00:18:02.64
Now, when did you really make
00:18:02.68\00:18:05.08
a firm decision
to sing for the Lord?
00:18:05.11\00:18:08.58
I've made a firm
decision to sing for the Lord
00:18:08.62\00:18:11.19
after I left Oakwood.
00:18:11.22\00:18:14.32
I was working...
00:18:14.36\00:18:16.76
and continuing to go
to school in Louisiana.
00:18:16.79\00:18:19.39
And I just
started writing lyrics.
00:18:19.43\00:18:24.30
It was nothing I
ever intended to do...
00:18:24.33\00:18:27.50
and so I just
started writing the lyrics
00:18:27.54\00:18:29.90
and then I would
also hum melodies to them
00:18:29.94\00:18:34.58
and just put the melodies
and the lyrics together,
00:18:34.61\00:18:38.98
and there were
songs being written.
00:18:39.01\00:18:41.92
And I just praise the Lord
00:18:41.95\00:18:43.49
for because I really feel
like it's a gift from him.
00:18:43.52\00:18:46.96
And really still after that
00:18:46.99\00:18:49.86
there were coupe
of years that passed
00:18:49.89\00:18:51.63
and I hadn't done much
with it and I moved to Dallas
00:18:51.66\00:18:55.30
and I would go to sleep at night
00:18:55.33\00:18:58.63
and wake up with
songs on my heart.
00:18:58.67\00:19:02.07
And so I started
sleeping with the tape recorder
00:19:02.10\00:19:04.14
beside my bed and I'll wake up
00:19:04.17\00:19:06.51
and just sing the
songs into the tape recorder
00:19:06.54\00:19:08.81
and that's when
I just really felt
00:19:08.84\00:19:10.18
like the Lord was telling me
00:19:10.21\00:19:12.15
that He had a work for me to do.
00:19:12.18\00:19:13.75
Praise God. It
is a gift from Him.
00:19:13.78\00:19:15.88
Yes.
00:19:15.92\00:19:17.25
It is a gift to have
those songs in your heart
00:19:17.29\00:19:19.82
and to wake up with
them, that's incredible.
00:19:19.85\00:19:22.42
So, you have written the
songs that are on your CD now
00:19:22.46\00:19:27.46
or tell us about your CD?
00:19:27.50\00:19:29.16
Yes, I have a CD
"Shine Your Light On Me".
00:19:29.20\00:19:32.07
And I have written
all of the songs on the CD
00:19:32.10\00:19:34.87
with the exception of
one song that's one there
00:19:34.90\00:19:36.94
and it's
actually sung by my dad.
00:19:36.97\00:19:38.97
"There's A Leak In
This Old Building."
00:19:39.01\00:19:41.61
And my dad has been very
instrumental in my career.
00:19:41.64\00:19:46.11
He is a soloist and
I've just sat at his feet
00:19:46.15\00:19:50.02
and listen to him
singing and really felt
00:19:50.05\00:19:53.39
that God put a
calling up on his life also.
00:19:53.42\00:19:56.12
And so I just want to
follow in his footsteps
00:19:56.16\00:19:58.19
and wherever Jesus leads me.
00:19:58.23\00:19:59.83
Amen. Amen.
00:19:59.86\00:20:02.03
So Erika in our closing moments,
00:20:02.06\00:20:03.97
what would you
say to young people?
00:20:04.00\00:20:06.03
What message do you
have for young people?
00:20:06.07\00:20:08.70
I just encourage young people
to give their lives to Christ
00:20:08.74\00:20:11.57
and let Him use them.
00:20:11.61\00:20:12.94
Be vessels for Christ
00:20:12.97\00:20:14.81
because He is
the one true answer
00:20:14.84\00:20:17.21
and a lot of children
seemed to seeking for something,
00:20:17.25\00:20:19.75
so Jesus is what they need.
00:20:19.78\00:20:22.68
Amen.
00:20:22.72\00:20:24.29
What more can we say.
00:20:24.32\00:20:26.05
Erika has given
her life to Christ.
00:20:26.09\00:20:29.09
She writes and is used by God.
00:20:29.12\00:20:32.19
Sit back and be
blessed as she magnifies Him.
00:20:32.23\00:20:35.43
He is here for the broken
00:20:45.97\00:20:50.25
Life to the one
00:20:50.28\00:20:51.88
Who is undone
00:20:51.91\00:20:57.92
He is peace to the wounded
00:20:57.95\00:21:02.16
Hope for the helpless one
00:21:02.19\00:21:06.49
He is here, He is here
00:21:09.56\00:21:15.90
Be still my soul, be still
00:21:15.94\00:21:21.91
Be still my soul, be still
00:21:21.94\00:21:27.78
Wait patiently upon the Lord
00:21:27.82\00:21:34.16
Be still my soul, be still
00:21:34.19\00:21:39.66
When the waves rise against me
00:21:48.90\00:21:52.47
And the wind tries to draw me
00:21:52.51\00:21:55.01
Away
00:21:55.04\00:22:01.12
I will stand on the mountain
00:22:01.15\00:22:04.65
Safe in Your arms
00:22:04.69\00:22:06.72
I will sing
00:22:06.76\00:22:09.72
I will sing
00:22:09.76\00:22:13.16
Be still my soul, be still
00:22:13.19\00:22:19.10
Be still my soul, be still
00:22:19.13\00:22:25.14
Wait patiently upon the Lord
00:22:25.17\00:22:31.15
Be still my soul, be still
00:22:31.18\00:22:36.95
Be still
00:22:36.99\00:22:40.12
I know He is God
00:22:40.16\00:22:42.99
He is here
00:22:43.02\00:22:45.99
He is here
00:22:46.03\00:22:48.90
Be still
00:22:48.93\00:22:52.27
I know He is God
00:22:52.30\00:22:54.97
He is here
00:22:55.00\00:22:57.97
He is here
00:22:58.01\00:23:03.58
So be still my soul, be still
00:23:03.61\00:23:10.09
Be still my soul, be still
00:23:10.12\00:23:15.79
Wait patiently upon the Lord
00:23:15.82\00:23:22.13
Be still my soul, be still
00:23:22.16\00:23:28.30
Wait patiently
00:23:28.34\00:23:31.34
Upon the Lord
00:23:31.37\00:23:37.15
Be still my soul
00:23:37.18\00:23:40.92
Be still
00:23:40.95\00:23:45.29
Blessed Assurance
00:23:53.76\00:23:55.20
one of my all
time favorite songs.
00:23:55.23\00:23:57.27
What an
assurance we have in Jesus.
00:23:57.30\00:24:00.10
This is my
story. This is my song.
00:24:00.14\00:24:02.87
Blessed assurance
00:24:13.68\00:24:18.95
Jesus is mine
00:24:18.99\00:24:24.19
Oh, what a foretaste
00:24:24.23\00:24:29.06
Of glory divine
00:24:29.10\00:24:33.90
Heir of salvation
00:24:33.94\00:24:39.31
Been purchased by God
00:24:39.34\00:24:44.58
I'm born of His Spirit
00:24:44.61\00:24:50.19
washed in His blood
00:24:50.22\00:24:55.42
This is my story
00:24:55.46\00:25:00.63
This is my song,
00:25:00.66\00:25:05.60
Praising my Savior
00:25:05.63\00:25:11.04
All the day long
00:25:11.07\00:25:16.28
This is my story
00:25:16.31\00:25:21.38
this is my song
00:25:21.42\00:25:26.39
I'm praising my Savior
00:25:26.42\00:25:31.99
All day long
00:25:32.03\00:25:35.00
Perfect submission
