Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.93
Magnify the Lord
00:00:04.97\00:00:08.64
Jesus alone is worthy
00:00:08.67\00:00:11.67
Magnify Him.
00:00:11.71\00:00:14.94
Hello and
welcome to Magnify Him,
00:00:19.51\00:00:22.68
I'm Danita Jones.
And I'm Lyndon Carriger.
00:00:22.72\00:00:25.62
You are going to
receive a special blessing today
00:00:25.65\00:00:28.42
on Magnify Him.
00:00:28.46\00:00:29.79
Absolutely.
00:00:29.82\00:00:31.16
Today we have
two amazing artists.
00:00:31.19\00:00:32.96
We are going to
hear a little instrument,
00:00:32.99\00:00:35.50
and then we're going
to hear a little song
00:00:35.53\00:00:37.60
so we are truly excited about
what we are going to see today.
00:00:37.63\00:00:40.10
Yeah, so if you are at
home, or if you are online,
00:00:40.14\00:00:43.04
or if you are on your cellphone,
00:00:43.07\00:00:44.54
we want you to just sit back,
00:00:44.57\00:00:46.14
relax and praise God
with us as we Magnify Him.
00:00:46.17\00:00:50.08
Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:51.28\00:00:54.28
Magnify Him.
00:00:54.32\00:00:57.75
Here on Magnify Him, we
like to share the gospel
00:00:59.85\00:01:03.12
of the good news of
Jesus Christ in song.
00:01:03.16\00:01:06.49
And today, I have Miss
Princess Brooks with me.
00:01:06.53\00:01:09.73
Mrs. Princess Brooks,
00:01:09.76\00:01:11.10
'cause your husband is backstage
00:01:11.13\00:01:12.73
and he'll probably
kill me if I just say miss.
00:01:12.77\00:01:16.27
Welcome to Magnify
Him today. Thank you.
00:01:16.30\00:01:18.67
Glad to be here,
00:01:18.71\00:01:20.04
this is an
honor and a privilege.
00:01:20.08\00:01:21.41
I'm just blessed, truly blessed.
00:01:21.44\00:01:23.95
It's our honor to have you here
00:01:23.98\00:01:25.65
and I have heard you sing before
00:01:25.68\00:01:27.02
because once again,
00:01:27.05\00:01:28.38
she's another one of
my praise team members,
00:01:28.42\00:01:29.78
so I'm really
glad to have you here
00:01:29.82\00:01:32.45
and you are actually going solo.
00:01:32.49\00:01:34.72
You have been solo
actually for a while
00:01:34.76\00:01:36.09
but you are about to
put out a CD, I hear.
00:01:36.12\00:01:38.53
Yes. It'll be coming out soon.
00:01:38.56\00:01:39.96
Hopefully we'll
have everything ready,
00:01:40.00\00:01:41.33
and get ready to go by November.
00:01:41.36\00:01:43.16
Okay, now if you
could let people know,
00:01:43.20\00:01:46.07
what is your style or genre?
00:01:46.10\00:01:49.30
Pretty much gospel.
00:01:49.34\00:01:51.47
I can do some
contemporary for like weddings
00:01:51.51\00:01:54.84
and stuff like that
but basically gospel.
00:01:54.88\00:01:56.44
I want to preach and sing
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:01:56.48\00:01:59.95
Yeah. That's it.
00:01:59.98\00:02:01.32
Yeah, and that's
what it's all about.
00:02:01.35\00:02:02.68
Yes.
00:02:02.72\00:02:04.05
How did you get
started in music?
00:02:04.09\00:02:05.55
I got started with my mother.
00:02:05.59\00:02:07.46
My mother would gather
all nine of her children
00:02:07.49\00:02:10.33
and have family worship.
00:02:10.36\00:02:11.99
Me as a young child, I
hated coming to worship.
00:02:12.03\00:02:14.76
However, I knew at my age now,
00:02:14.80\00:02:18.37
that was the best thing
she could have ever done,
00:02:18.40\00:02:20.54
because it's just amazing.
00:02:20.57\00:02:22.70
Wow, and you have
children of your own?
00:02:22.74\00:02:24.67
I do.
00:02:24.71\00:02:26.04
And so I'm sure you
have incorporated that
00:02:26.07\00:02:27.81
with your children as well.
00:02:27.84\00:02:29.18
I have. Now, your
whole family sings.
00:02:29.21\00:02:33.65
So what is it like growing
up in a family with singers?
00:02:33.68\00:02:38.72
You know, it is truly awesome
because we can get together
00:02:38.75\00:02:41.92
and start singing
and when they hear a part
00:02:41.96\00:02:44.66
that's not being sung,
somebody can just slide in there
00:02:44.69\00:02:47.16
and start singing that part
00:02:47.20\00:02:48.53
and it's just
beautiful, beautiful.
00:02:48.56\00:02:51.07
So you guys sing together a lot?
00:02:51.10\00:02:52.90
Oh, yeah.
00:02:52.93\00:02:54.27
Family worship, we
still have family worship.
00:02:54.30\00:02:55.84
Believe it or not, we
still have family worship.
00:02:55.87\00:02:57.21
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:02:57.24\00:02:58.57
Well, with you
guys singing together,
00:02:58.61\00:03:00.38
what confirmed your
ministry in order to go solo?
00:03:00.41\00:03:04.55
Well, I mean, I
was just led to do it.
00:03:04.58\00:03:08.95
You know, I
have sung with groups
00:03:08.98\00:03:10.69
and choirs all my life,
but the Lord is just like,
00:03:10.72\00:03:13.42
you know, you need
to step out on your own
00:03:13.46\00:03:15.59
and be a witness for me.
00:03:15.62\00:03:17.09
And move on, it's
just time to move on.
00:03:17.13\00:03:19.76
Okay, well tell me
00:03:19.79\00:03:21.50
just a little bit
more about yourself.
00:03:21.53\00:03:22.86
What do you do professionally?
00:03:22.90\00:03:24.30
I'm a Production Supervisor.
00:03:24.33\00:03:25.93
Okay, and you also
said you have a family
00:03:25.97\00:03:29.17
so do you want to give
them a shout-out today?
00:03:29.20\00:03:31.61
Yes, I have a
daughter, Princess Britney.
00:03:31.64\00:03:33.74
Uh-huh. I named her after me.
00:03:33.78\00:03:35.11
And my son Brandon,
and my husband Freddie.
00:03:35.14\00:03:37.45
And my in-laws, they
are just wonderful people.
00:03:37.48\00:03:39.81
So it's just a beautiful
family, beautiful family.
00:03:39.85\00:03:41.95
Awesome.
00:03:41.98\00:03:43.32
What songs are
you going to do today?
00:03:43.35\00:03:45.65
What sin and Jesus Paid It All.
00:03:45.69\00:03:49.36
Why did you choose
those two songs by chance?
00:03:49.39\00:03:52.89
What Sin just helps
me to remember the things
00:03:52.93\00:03:56.46
that I used to do and how
when I confess my sins to Jesus,
00:03:56.50\00:04:00.60
He forgave me for my sins.
00:04:00.64\00:04:02.84
And when I bring them up,
He's like, what sin, what sin?
00:04:02.87\00:04:06.94
And then you'd
remember that Jesus paid it all.
00:04:06.98\00:04:09.08
All to Him I
owe, all to Him I owe.
00:04:09.11\00:04:12.85
Wow, it is so good that
God gives us a second chance
00:04:12.88\00:04:16.85
and you know...
00:04:16.89\00:04:19.99
with what we do
as music ministers,
00:04:20.02\00:04:23.02
just to sing the
good news to people,
00:04:23.06\00:04:25.06
I mean, I know it
gives you a good feeling,
00:04:25.09\00:04:27.70
it gives me a good feeling.
00:04:27.73\00:04:30.13
What-- Describe
that feeling if you can
00:04:30.17\00:04:32.97
of when you are
through ministering the people
00:04:33.00\00:04:35.90
and you see that their
souls have been touched.
00:04:35.94\00:04:38.84
It is amazing,
because you know it's only God
00:04:38.87\00:04:43.01
that can only reach
them through that music,
00:04:43.04\00:04:45.01
it's not me, only God.
00:04:45.05\00:04:47.32
If I'm trying to take
the credit, then I have lost
00:04:47.35\00:04:49.65
all credibility of
trying to witness for Christ.
00:04:49.68\00:04:53.56
So it's all about God.
00:04:53.59\00:04:54.92
You are absolutely right.
00:04:54.96\00:04:56.29
Real quick, where
can people reach you?
00:04:56.32\00:04:57.66
They can reach me on
Facebook, Princess L. Brooks.
00:04:57.69\00:05:00.16
Princess L. Brooks.
00:05:00.20\00:05:01.66
Everybody, I am just
so happy, I'm so excited
00:05:01.70\00:05:06.13
to welcome Miss Princess Brooks
00:05:06.17\00:05:08.14
as she sings for
us on Magnify Him.
00:05:08.17\00:05:10.91
Thank you.
00:05:10.94\00:05:12.27
It happened so long ago
00:05:37.60\00:05:41.80
I cried out for mercy back then
00:05:41.84\00:05:45.87
I plead the blood of Jesus
00:05:45.91\00:05:49.24
Begged him to forgive my sins
00:05:49.28\00:05:53.38
But I just can't forget it
00:05:53.42\00:05:56.69
It just won't go away
00:05:56.72\00:05:59.85
So I wept again,
00:05:59.89\00:06:01.86
Lord wash my sin
00:06:01.89\00:06:03.89
But this is what He'd say
00:06:03.93\00:06:07.13
What sin?
00:06:11.33\00:06:14.87
What sin?
00:06:14.90\00:06:16.74
Well that's as far away
00:06:16.77\00:06:18.74
As the east is from the west
00:06:18.77\00:06:22.38
What sin?
00:06:26.28\00:06:29.85
What sin?
00:06:29.88\00:06:31.75
It was gone
00:06:31.79\00:06:33.49
The very minute you confessed
00:06:33.52\00:06:37.23
Buried in the sea
00:06:40.30\00:06:44.07
Of forgetfulness
00:06:44.10\00:06:47.84
The heaviest thing you'll carry
00:06:53.27\00:06:56.28
Is the load of guilt and shame
00:06:56.31\00:07:00.78
You were never
meant To bear them
00:07:00.82\00:07:03.92
So let them go in Jesus name
00:07:03.95\00:07:08.16
Our God is slow to anger
00:07:08.19\00:07:11.49
And quick to forgive our sins
00:07:11.53\00:07:15.66
So let Him put
them Under the blood
00:07:15.70\00:07:18.90
Don't bring them up again
00:07:18.93\00:07:23.20
Cause He'll just say
00:07:23.24\00:07:26.24
What sin?
00:07:26.27\00:07:29.74
What sin?
00:07:29.78\00:07:31.68
Well that's as far away
00:07:31.71\00:07:33.72
As the east is from the west
00:07:33.75\00:07:37.39
What sin?
00:07:41.26\00:07:44.76
What sin?
00:07:44.79\00:07:46.83
It was gone
00:07:46.86\00:07:48.46
The very minute you confessed
00:07:48.50\00:07:52.37
Buried in the sea
00:07:55.40\00:07:59.04
Of forgetfulness
00:07:59.07\00:08:02.31
Lord, please deliver me
00:08:15.86\00:08:20.00
From my accusing memory
00:08:20.03\00:08:24.37
Nothing makes me weak this way
00:08:24.40\00:08:27.80
Than when I hear you say
00:08:27.84\00:08:31.64
What sin?
00:08:33.68\00:08:37.21
What sin?
00:08:37.25\00:08:39.21
Well that's as far away
00:08:39.25\00:08:41.22
As the east is from the west
00:08:41.25\00:08:45.02
What sin?
00:08:48.66\00:08:52.26
What sin?
00:08:52.29\00:08:54.16
It was gone
00:08:54.20\00:08:56.00
The very minute you confessed
00:08:56.03\00:08:59.93
Buried in the sea
00:09:02.97\00:09:08.24
Of forgetfulness.
00:09:08.28\00:09:12.68
The cost Jesus paid
it all, all to Him I owe.
00:09:38.24\00:09:41.11
I hear
00:09:46.38\00:09:49.78
The Savior say
00:09:49.82\00:09:54.06
Thy strength
00:09:54.09\00:09:57.76
Indeed is small
00:09:57.79\00:10:01.76
Child of weakness
00:10:01.80\00:10:05.77
Watch and pray
00:10:05.80\00:10:09.70
Find in Me
00:10:09.74\00:10:13.01
Thine all in all
00:10:13.04\00:10:18.35
Jesus
00:10:18.38\00:10:21.55
Paid it all
00:10:21.58\00:10:26.59
All to Him
00:10:26.62\00:10:30.33
I owe
00:10:30.36\00:10:34.10
Sin had left a crimson stain
00:10:34.13\00:10:40.57
He washed it
00:10:40.60\00:10:44.64
White as snow
00:10:44.67\00:10:48.01
For nothing good have I
00:10:54.45\00:11:00.76
Whereby
00:11:00.79\00:11:03.76
Thy grace to claim
00:11:03.79\00:11:07.76
I'll wash
00:11:07.80\00:11:11.50
My garments white
00:11:11.53\00:11:15.84
In the blood
00:11:15.87\00:11:19.21
Of Calv'ry's Lamb
00:11:19.24\00:11:24.51
Jesus
00:11:24.55\00:11:27.52
Paid it all
00:11:27.55\00:11:32.39
All to Him
00:11:32.42\00:11:36.36
I owe
00:11:36.39\00:11:40.40
Sin had left a crimson stain
00:11:40.43\00:11:47.04
He washed it
00:11:47.07\00:11:50.64
White as snow
00:11:50.67\00:11:55.91
And when
00:12:10.59\00:12:15.96
Before the throne
00:12:16.00\00:12:20.40
I stand
00:12:20.44\00:12:24.11
In Him complete
00:12:24.14\00:12:27.64
Jesus died
00:12:27.68\00:12:31.58
My soul to save
00:12:31.61\00:12:35.98
My lips
00:12:36.02\00:12:41.12
Shall still repeat
00:12:41.16\00:12:47.20
Jesus
00:12:47.23\00:12:49.66
Paid it all
00:12:49.70\00:12:54.54
All to Him
00:12:54.57\00:12:57.31
I owe
00:12:57.34\00:13:02.14
Sin had left a crimson stain
00:13:02.18\00:13:08.75
He washed it
00:13:08.78\00:13:12.19
white as snow
00:13:12.22\00:13:15.86
He washed it
00:13:15.89\00:13:20.00
white as snow
00:13:20.03\00:13:24.53
White as snow.
00:13:32.24\00:13:38.11
Magnify the Lord with me
00:13:43.08\00:13:46.15
Magnify Him.
00:13:46.19\00:13:49.32
I'm so excited today
because we have on our program
00:13:50.86\00:13:54.46
a magnificent saxophone
player, Mr. Victor Rodriguez.
00:13:54.50\00:13:58.13
Welcome to the program, Victor.
00:13:58.17\00:13:59.60
Hi, how are you doing?
00:13:59.63\00:14:00.97
Now, we were talking
earlier, you and I and I thought
00:14:01.00\00:14:03.91
that you had one of the
most amazing testimonies
00:14:03.94\00:14:06.64
that a lot of people actually
don't get to talk about it
00:14:06.68\00:14:09.08
how they were
brought into this world
00:14:09.11\00:14:10.58
and you were telling me
the amazing story behind
00:14:10.61\00:14:14.68
why it is such a great thing
00:14:14.72\00:14:16.05
you are actually
still here with us.
00:14:16.08\00:14:17.49
Tell us a little
a bit about that?
00:14:17.52\00:14:20.06
Well, as I am told, by my mom,
00:14:20.09\00:14:23.06
I actually, you
know, shouldn't be here.
00:14:23.09\00:14:25.59
I am supposed to be
and I am a miracle baby.
00:14:25.63\00:14:30.33
As it turned out, you know,
I was born on the 9th of August
00:14:30.37\00:14:34.37
and...
00:14:34.40\00:14:36.71
of course, you know,
being the first baby,
00:14:36.74\00:14:39.87
I was a big deal,
you know, for my parents
00:14:39.91\00:14:43.35
and when I am told as
the day after I was born,
00:14:43.38\00:14:48.82
an accident happened.
00:14:48.85\00:14:50.39
I think I was
dropped or something.
00:14:50.42\00:14:53.15
And you know, my mom,
00:14:53.19\00:14:54.76
they didn't know
about it until later.
00:14:54.79\00:14:57.19
And it was a big emergency
and I had all this swelling.
00:14:57.23\00:15:00.20
I still have scars on
my wrist from all of the...
00:15:00.23\00:15:06.33
blood that I was, you
know, that I was given
00:15:06.37\00:15:09.70
and from what I am told,
I was like really swollen
00:15:09.74\00:15:13.48
and I was basically--
00:15:13.51\00:15:16.34
The main
principal doctor on my case,
00:15:16.38\00:15:19.58
you know, told my parents
that they should call a priest
00:15:19.61\00:15:22.65
and, you know, to read last
rites because he didn't think,
00:15:22.68\00:15:26.12
you know, he was
going to make it.
00:15:26.15\00:15:28.79
And...
00:15:28.82\00:15:30.46
you know, my father
being a man of faith
00:15:30.49\00:15:32.86
that he was, he's passed.
00:15:32.89\00:15:37.13
But...
00:15:37.17\00:15:39.43
he said, "No we don't
need to call the priest."
00:15:39.47\00:15:43.27
And...
00:15:43.30\00:15:45.14
my parents and my father,
00:15:45.17\00:15:48.04
there were three churches
in New York praying for me,
00:15:48.08\00:15:53.18
for God to
deliver me and my father,
00:15:53.21\00:15:57.92
you know, promised
that if I was spared,
00:15:57.95\00:16:00.66
you know, I would be
dedicated and he would serve God
00:16:00.69\00:16:04.89
and all of this,
00:16:04.93\00:16:06.49
and...
00:16:06.53\00:16:09.00
and God spared my life.
00:16:09.03\00:16:11.00
You know, after a few days,
00:16:11.03\00:16:12.43
and three whole churches
in New York praying for me.
00:16:12.47\00:16:17.14
God spared my life
and eversince then I think
00:16:17.17\00:16:21.44
the devil has had
that like a special thing
00:16:21.48\00:16:23.51
to try and frustrate whatever
God's purposes are for me,
00:16:23.55\00:16:30.49
but I thank God
that he spared my life.
00:16:30.52\00:16:33.22
I know He's got
a purpose for me,
00:16:33.25\00:16:35.39
because I've been
through so many things
00:16:35.42\00:16:39.29
and been to so many places that,
00:16:39.33\00:16:43.00
you know, today I praise God,
00:16:43.03\00:16:45.33
you know, that
I'm still standing.
00:16:45.37\00:16:46.80
That is an amazing story
and clearly like you said
00:16:46.84\00:16:49.40
God has a purpose for you.
00:16:49.44\00:16:51.81
Now I want to
touch a little bit on
00:16:51.84\00:16:53.24
how you got started
playing the saxophone.
00:16:53.27\00:16:54.94
I think that is an amazing story
00:16:54.98\00:16:57.11
about how you got
your parents to know
00:16:57.15\00:16:59.15
that that was the instrument
that you wanted to play.
00:16:59.18\00:17:01.22
Right.
00:17:01.25\00:17:03.49
Yeah, I
remember we were driving,
00:17:03.52\00:17:06.05
who knows where
00:17:06.09\00:17:07.42
and you know, I
was in the backseat
00:17:07.46\00:17:10.49
and I remember my
father, you know, looking back,
00:17:10.53\00:17:14.86
you know, and asking me
00:17:14.90\00:17:16.23
"So son, so what
instrument do you want to play?"
00:17:16.26\00:17:20.04
And...
00:17:20.07\00:17:23.37
I didn't even know the
name of the instrument,
00:17:23.41\00:17:26.44
I just kind of
seen it and I was like,
00:17:26.47\00:17:30.21
"Well, I like to play
the one that goes like this."
00:17:30.25\00:17:35.75
Oh my goodness.
00:17:35.78\00:17:37.15
And I just kind of
drew it out in the air.
00:17:37.19\00:17:41.16
I didn't even
know the name of it
00:17:41.19\00:17:42.52
and there my dad was
like, "Ah, it's saxophone."
00:17:42.56\00:17:45.99
"You want to
play the saxophone."
00:17:46.03\00:17:47.36
"Oh, you want to
play the saxophone."
00:17:47.40\00:17:48.73
That is a great story.
00:17:48.76\00:17:50.10
I am so excited you are
here to play for us today
00:17:50.13\00:17:52.97
and we cannot wait
to hear your ministry.
00:17:53.00\00:17:54.97
We know that is a
gift so I want everyone
00:17:55.00\00:17:57.67

First of all, Victor
with that amazing saxophone,
00:26:47.60\00:26:51.07
and just to hear the
story that he had about
00:26:51.11\00:26:53.27
how he learned how to play.
00:26:53.31\00:26:54.68
Kudos to his parents for
even knowing the instrument
00:26:54.71\00:26:58.05
that he was talking about.
00:26:58.08\00:26:59.41
Absolutely.

And speaking of parents,
kudos to Princess' mother,
