Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.80
Magnify the Lord
00:00:04.83\00:00:08.44
Jesus alone is worthy
00:00:08.47\00:00:11.57
Magnify Him
00:00:11.61\00:00:18.88
Hello and welcome to
Magnify Him's holiday special.
00:00:18.91\00:00:21.98
My name is Duawne Starling.
00:00:22.02\00:00:23.59
And I'm Yvonne Lewis.
00:00:23.62\00:00:25.12
And Duawne, you
know, Christmas time
00:00:25.15\00:00:26.82
is one of my
favorite seasons of the year
00:00:26.86\00:00:29.66
because it just seems
like people are happier
00:00:29.69\00:00:32.29
and have a
lighter frame of mind.
00:00:32.33\00:00:34.30
Yes, that's true but for some,
00:00:34.33\00:00:36.67
it's, it can be a
pretty lonely time of year.
00:00:36.70\00:00:39.30
Yeah, okay.
00:00:39.33\00:00:41.37
I guess so but
whether you're feeling
00:00:41.40\00:00:43.57
a little melancholy or
full of a joyous spirit,
00:00:43.61\00:00:47.51
this music program is for you.
00:00:47.54\00:00:50.11
So stay tune as we bring
you Holy Spirit-filled artists
00:00:50.15\00:00:53.95
that want to Magnify
Him with their gifts.
00:00:53.98\00:00:56.95
Magnify the Lord with me
00:00:56.99\00:00:59.99
Magnify Him
00:01:00.02\00:01:04.29
Our first artist
is Lyndon Carriger.
00:01:04.33\00:01:07.20
About two years ago, I
first heard Lyndon on 3ABN
00:01:07.23\00:01:10.50
and I remember
thinking, that brother can sing.
00:01:10.53\00:01:13.67
When we decided to
have a music program
00:01:13.70\00:01:15.80
on Dare to Dream, Lyndon's name
00:01:15.84\00:01:17.71
was one of the first
ones to be considered.
00:01:17.74\00:01:20.48
He lives in
Chattanooga, Tennessee
00:01:20.51\00:01:22.28
and has appeared on
3ABN on numerous occasions
00:01:22.31\00:01:24.91
over the past few years.
00:01:24.95\00:01:26.95
He's a recording
artist, husband and father,
00:01:26.98\00:01:29.98
currently serving in
fulltime music ministry.
00:01:30.02\00:01:33.72
Lyndon is an anointed
singer, songwriter and pianist.
00:01:33.76\00:01:37.19
This guy does it all.
00:01:37.23\00:01:38.93
So, be blessed as he
sings 'Mary, did you know.'
00:01:38.96\00:01:43.73
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:02:04.59\00:02:10.63
Would one day walk on water?
00:02:10.66\00:02:14.03
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:02:14.06\00:02:20.14
Would save our
sons and daughters?
00:02:20.17\00:02:24.04
Did you know that your Baby Boy
00:02:24.07\00:02:29.61
Has come to make you new?
00:02:29.64\00:02:33.85
This Child that you delivered
00:02:33.88\00:02:39.32
Will soon deliver you
00:02:39.35\00:02:44.93
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:02:44.96\00:02:50.67
Would give sight to a blind man?
00:02:50.70\00:02:55.04
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:02:55.07\00:03:00.51
Would calm the
storm with His hand?
00:03:00.54\00:03:04.45
Did you know that your Baby Boy
00:03:04.48\00:03:10.02
Has walked where angels trod?
00:03:10.05\00:03:13.99
When you kiss your little Baby
00:03:14.02\00:03:19.66
You kissed the face of God
00:03:19.69\00:03:26.23
The blind will see
00:03:26.27\00:03:28.50
The deaf will hear
00:03:28.54\00:03:31.01
The dead will live again
00:03:31.04\00:03:35.64
The lame will leap
00:03:35.68\00:03:37.98
The dumb will speak
00:03:38.01\00:03:40.52
The praises of The Lamb
00:03:40.55\00:03:45.92
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:03:45.95\00:03:52.46
Is Lord of all creation?
00:03:52.49\00:03:56.30
Mary, did you
know that your Baby Boy
00:03:56.33\00:04:01.90
Would one day rule the nations?
00:04:01.94\00:04:06.04
Did you know that your Baby Boy
00:04:06.07\00:04:11.35
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
00:04:11.38\00:04:16.22
The sleeping
Child you're holding
00:04:16.25\00:04:21.52
Is the Great I Am
00:04:21.56\00:04:29.50
The Great I Am
00:04:33.57\00:04:40.04
The Great I Am
00:04:42.91\00:04:48.92
The Great I Am
00:04:52.59\00:04:57.59
The Great I Am
00:05:00.73\00:05:08.70
Mary did, did you know?
00:05:12.34\00:05:20.28
O come, let us adore Him
00:05:24.95\00:05:32.96
Christ, Christ, the Lord
00:05:35.26\00:05:43.20
Magnify Him
00:05:50.95\00:05:55.02
I'd like to
welcome our next artist,
00:05:55.05\00:05:57.22
Shirley Ann Thomas
Laurencin to Magnify Him.
00:05:57.25\00:06:00.69
I had the
opportunity to interview her
00:06:00.72\00:06:03.49
for our very first program here
00:06:03.53\00:06:05.59
and we knew we would
have to have her back.
00:06:05.63\00:06:07.73
She hails to us
from Yonkers, New York
00:06:07.76\00:06:09.86
where she is a
Seventh Day Adventist Church
00:06:09.90\00:06:11.70
school principal.
00:06:11.73\00:06:13.10
Shirley Ann is
such a gifted singer.
00:06:13.13\00:06:15.67
We are thrilled to
welcome her back once again
00:06:15.70\00:06:18.51
and she will be
used of God as she sings,
00:06:18.54\00:06:21.64
'Would it still be Christmas?'
00:06:21.68\00:06:24.78
Would it still be Christmas
00:06:41.56\00:06:46.60
If the Christ child never came?
00:06:46.63\00:06:52.61
Could it still be Christmas
00:06:52.64\00:06:57.58
Or just another day?
00:06:57.61\00:07:02.38
Would choirs still be singing
00:07:02.42\00:07:07.69
Songs of peace on earth?
00:07:07.72\00:07:12.93
Would angels be rejoicing
00:07:12.96\00:07:17.87
If there had been no birth?
00:07:17.90\00:07:25.87
Could it still be Christmas?
00:07:25.91\00:07:30.11
Would love be the same?
00:07:30.15\00:07:34.88
Would it all be different
00:07:34.92\00:07:38.75
If we never heard His Name?
00:07:38.79\00:07:43.93
What would be the reason
00:07:43.96\00:07:47.60
For this special season
00:07:47.63\00:07:52.23
If there had been
no baby born that day?
00:07:52.27\00:07:59.61
What if hope had never come?
00:07:59.64\00:08:06.35
God never sent His Son?
00:08:06.38\00:08:09.95
What would Christmas be?
00:08:09.98\00:08:14.52
Born the gift in Bethlehem
00:08:14.56\00:08:20.53
Salvation for all men
00:08:20.56\00:08:27.84
Hope and love
00:08:27.87\00:08:34.31
From above
00:08:34.34\00:08:41.82
Would it still be Christmas
00:08:41.85\00:08:45.82
If the Christ child never came?
00:08:45.85\00:08:49.89
Could there be Christmas
00:08:49.92\00:08:52.96
If we never heard His Name?
00:08:52.99\00:08:57.83
What would be the reason
00:08:57.87\00:09:02.30
For this special season
00:09:02.34\00:09:08.84
If there had been
no baby born that day?
00:09:08.88\00:09:16.82
Magnify Him
00:09:41.58\00:09:45.81
There are some people
who are just like family
00:09:45.85\00:09:49.78
and our next
guest on Magnify Him
00:09:49.82\00:09:52.19
is like a brother to me.
00:09:52.22\00:09:54.39
We practically grew
up together although
00:09:54.42\00:09:56.02
I am a little bit older than he.
00:09:56.06\00:09:58.16
In Brooklyn, New
York, he played the piano
00:09:58.19\00:10:01.73
for my mother's
choir, for my trio
00:10:01.76\00:10:05.43
and he was just such
a wonderful accompanist
00:10:05.47\00:10:08.67
and has been
throughout the years.
00:10:08.70\00:10:10.97
Actually he's one of my
00:10:11.01\00:10:12.34
absolute favorite
accompanist of all time.
00:10:12.37\00:10:16.28
Out next guest,
doing an arrangement
00:10:16.31\00:10:19.41
of 'Away in a
Manger' is David Coleman.
00:10:19.45\00:10:24.25
Magnify Him
00:14:20.79\00:14:25.16
Our next artist really
doesn't need an introduction
00:14:25.19\00:14:28.16
to our Magnify Him audience.
00:14:28.20\00:14:30.43
He's none other than my
co-host, Duawne Starling.
00:14:30.47\00:14:34.07
And Duawne has besides
just this most beautiful,
00:14:34.10\00:14:37.87
silky voice, he has
such a servant's heart.
00:14:37.91\00:14:41.51
So be blessed as you
listen to Duawne minister
00:14:41.54\00:14:44.71
'With the Christmas Heart.'
00:14:44.75\00:14:46.92
It's Christmas night
00:15:09.17\00:15:14.14
This is when we
see all the angels
00:15:14.18\00:15:18.28
Dancing in the sky above
00:15:18.31\00:15:26.25
Just for us
00:15:26.29\00:15:31.76
It's Christmas day
00:15:31.79\00:15:36.63
Something to believe in
00:15:36.67\00:15:42.40
I believe the love
00:15:42.44\00:15:44.77
That we feel for each other
00:15:44.81\00:15:47.88
Is His gift to us
00:15:47.91\00:15:54.12
And nothing will keep us apart
00:15:54.15\00:16:02.02
If we love
00:16:06.33\00:16:11.70
With a Christmas heart
00:16:11.73\00:16:19.67
It's Christmas now
00:16:44.87\00:16:49.84
This is when the
eyes of our children
00:16:49.87\00:16:53.98
Search into these eyes of ours
00:16:54.01\00:17:01.82
How sweet they are
00:17:01.85\00:17:07.06
What kind of world
00:17:07.09\00:17:12.63
Are we gonna leave them?
00:17:12.66\00:17:17.93
What we couldn't
learn from each other
00:17:17.97\00:17:22.17
We still can learn from God
00:17:22.20\00:17:29.34
What a way to live
00:17:29.38\00:17:35.22
What a place to start
00:17:35.25\00:17:42.46
Bless us please
00:17:42.49\00:17:47.36
With a Christmas heart
00:17:47.40\00:17:55.30
We want Your Heart, Oh God
00:17:55.34\00:18:01.88
Give us Your Heart, God
00:18:01.91\00:18:05.18
Bless us please
00:18:05.21\00:18:10.55
Bless us please
00:18:10.89\00:18:17.36
Magnify Him
00:18:24.90\00:18:28.94
It gives me great
pleasure to introduce to you
00:18:28.97\00:18:31.24
someone who is
no stranger to you.
00:18:31.27\00:18:33.91
She's also my
co-host here at Magnify Him,
00:18:33.94\00:18:37.01
and she's an
accomplished singer as well.
00:18:37.05\00:18:39.85
I've learned from
her, and I glean from her.
00:18:39.88\00:18:42.92
She's my sister and I love her.
00:18:42.95\00:18:45.19
Singing 'Joy to the World'

00:18:45.22\00:18:50.26

And heaven, and
heaven and nature sing
00:19:27.70\00:19:34.77
Joy to the world!
00:19:39.14\00:19:41.21
The Savior reigns
00:19:41.24\00:19:43.21
Let men their songs employ
00:19:43.24\00:19:47.32
While fields and floods
00:19:47.35\00:19:49.48
Rocks, hills and plains
00:19:49.52\00:19:51.55
Repeat the sounding
joy Repeat the sounding joy
00:19:51.59\00:19:55.62
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
00:19:55.66\00:20:03.50
For unto us a child is born
00:20:07.20\00:20:10.81
Unto us a son is
given Unto us a son is given
00:20:10.84\00:20:18.18
For unto us a child is born
00:20:18.21\00:20:21.62
Unto us a son is
given Unto us a son is given
00:20:21.65\00:20:29.62
And the government
shall be upon His shoulder
00:20:29.66\00:20:37.60
And His name shall be called
00:20:39.13\00:20:42.67
Wonderful,
Counselor, the Mighty God
00:20:42.70\00:20:48.68
The Everlasting
Father, the Prince of Peace
00:20:48.71\00:20:52.78
The Everlasting Father
00:20:52.81\00:20:54.85
The Prince of Peace
00:20:54.88\00:20:59.99
He rules the world
with truth and grace
00:21:00.02\00:21:04.13
And makes the nations prove
00:21:04.16\00:21:08.23
The glories of His righteousness

Magnify Him
00:21:38.86\00:21:43.80
This is one of my absolute
favorite times of the year
00:21:43.83\00:21:47.40
because we get to sing
all these pretty songs.
00:21:47.44\00:21:49.54
I get to hang out
with my friends at same,
00:21:49.57\00:21:51.57

share this wonderful,
00:21:51.61\00:21:55.01
wonderful time of
the year with you.
00:21:55.04\00:21:57.28
So we want you to
sing along with us
00:21:57.31\00:21:59.25
as we offer our gifts to our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:21:59.28\00:22:03.39
as we celebrate
His birth and life.
00:22:03.42\00:22:06.76
How about 'Go Tell
It On The Mountain?'
00:22:06.79\00:22:08.76
Yay.
00:22:08.79\00:22:10.13
Go tell it on the mountain
00:22:17.70\00:22:22.24
Over the hills and everywhere
00:22:22.27\00:22:26.98
Go tell it on the mountain
00:22:27.01\00:22:30.75
That Jesus Christ is born
00:22:30.78\00:22:34.18
And sing it again
00:22:34.22\00:22:36.02
Go tell it on the mountain
00:22:36.05\00:22:40.49
Over the hills and everywhere
00:22:40.52\00:22:45.29
Go tell it on the mountain
00:22:45.33\00:22:49.26
That Jesus Christ is born
00:22:49.30\00:22:53.97
While shepherds
kept their watching
00:22:54.00\00:22:59.34
Over silent flocks fine night
00:22:59.37\00:23:05.41
Behold throughout the heavens
00:23:05.45\00:23:12.69
There shone a holy light
00:23:12.72\00:23:20.66
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:23:24.77\00:23:29.64
Over the hills and everywhere
00:23:29.67\00:23:34.34
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:23:34.38\00:23:38.45
That Jesus Christ is born
00:23:38.48\00:23:43.92
The shepherds
feared and trembled
00:23:43.95\00:23:49.89
When lo above the earth
00:23:49.92\00:23:57.73
Rang out the angel chorus
00:23:57.77\00:24:04.97
That hailed our Savior's birth
00:24:05.01\00:24:12.95
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:24:15.85\00:24:20.49
Over the hills and everywhere
00:24:20.52\00:24:25.23
Go, tell it on the mountain
00:24:25.26\00:24:29.36
That Jesus Christ is born
00:24:29.40\00:24:35.00
Go tell it on the mountain
00:24:35.04\00:24:39.61
Over the hills and everywhere
00:24:39.64\00:24:44.51
Go tell it on the mountain
00:24:44.55\00:24:48.72
That Jesus Christ is born
00:24:48.75\00:24:55.26
All right, all right.
00:24:55.29\00:24:58.43
I love that. Did
you guys like that?
00:24:58.46\00:24:59.79
So much.
00:24:59.83\00:25:01.16
Go, tell it on the mountain.
00:25:01.20\00:25:02.53
Now is, is there a
favorite Christmas song
00:25:02.56\00:25:06.67
that you like to
sing, Shirley Ann?
00:25:06.70\00:25:10.14
Oh, my goodness.
00:25:10.17\00:25:12.34
'Cause they're so
many, that's the thing.
00:25:12.37\00:25:13.88
They are so many.
00:25:13.91\00:25:15.24
Um, certainly, 'Go,
tell it on the mountain'
00:25:15.28\00:25:17.78
is one of them.
00:25:17.81\00:25:19.15
Um, you know, it's not really
00:25:19.18\00:25:22.68
the Christian-Christian
one, but Jingle Bells?
00:25:22.72\00:25:30.19
Ah, it just gives
a fun Christmas feel.
00:25:30.23\00:25:33.13
Christmas is fun. It is, it is.
00:25:33.16\00:25:35.53
But so much more
than that, isn't?
00:25:35.56\00:25:37.20
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:37.23\00:25:38.73
What I love is that, um,
00:25:38.77\00:25:40.57
everyone seems
to be in a giving...
00:25:40.60\00:25:42.54
Yes. A giving mood.
00:25:42.57\00:25:44.91
And I hate that it's a mood
00:25:44.94\00:25:46.27
and I hate that it's
just at Christmas time
00:25:46.31\00:25:48.54
because if we did
have that type of spirit
00:25:48.58\00:25:51.51
throughout the
year, what would our,
00:25:51.55\00:25:53.15
what would our world be like?
00:25:53.18\00:25:54.95
That is so true.
00:25:54.98\00:25:56.32
I think that, you know, when,
00:25:56.35\00:25:58.05
when you think about
what this time of the year
00:25:58.09\00:26:01.52
means that people's
spirits are usually lighter.
00:26:01.56\00:26:04.79
And they, they want to
give and, um, but then,
00:26:04.83\00:26:08.90
then, as we said in the open,
00:26:08.93\00:26:10.83
this is also sometimes
a lonely time for people.
00:26:10.87\00:26:14.77
And I think that
what we need to do
00:26:14.80\00:26:18.74
as Christians is
to really reach out
00:26:18.77\00:26:22.11
to those who
don't' know about Jesus.
00:26:22.14\00:26:25.48
This is a perfect
time for us to witness,
00:26:25.51\00:26:27.88
whether it's through
song, whether it's through word
00:26:27.92\00:26:30.55
but, or a kind deed.
00:26:30.59\00:26:32.79
You know, we
can really reach out
00:26:32.82\00:26:34.46
to those who
don't know about Jesus,
00:26:34.49\00:26:36.76
and we can
actually bring Him to them.
00:26:36.79\00:26:40.70
And even though we
don't know when He was born,
00:26:40.73\00:26:44.00
we celebrate that He was born.
00:26:44.03\00:26:45.73
Exactly. Amen.
00:26:45.77\00:26:47.10
And we also celebrate
that He lived and died for us.
00:26:47.14\00:26:50.77
So that we could have a
right to life, life eternal.
00:26:50.81\00:26:54.71
For sure, for sure.
00:26:54.74\00:26:56.28
What about your favorite
song? What's your favorite?
00:26:56.31\00:26:58.21
My favorite song,
if I want to stick
00:26:58.25\00:27:00.88
with the spiritual
natures, 'O Holy Night.'
00:27:00.92\00:27:03.42
Oh, okay. To sing or to hear it?
00:27:03.45\00:27:06.02
Both. Okay. Oh!
00:27:06.05\00:27:07.62
If it's some
right for you to sing.
00:27:07.66\00:27:11.83
I'll see, now, next time
we're going to have to have
00:27:11.86\00:27:13.80
you sing 'O Holy Night.'
00:27:13.83\00:27:15.16
Okay. Okay, good.
00:27:15.20\00:27:16.73
But how did you find
that the Christmas carols
00:27:16.77\00:27:19.07
and Christmas
songs are timeless?
00:27:19.10\00:27:21.80
You know, they
go beyond, like age.
00:27:21.84\00:27:24.64
In genres. Exactly, exactly.
00:27:24.67\00:27:27.04
It is so true.
00:27:27.08\00:27:28.41
Like, 'O Holy Night',
I can hear that any day.
00:27:28.44\00:27:29.78
Yeah. Yeah, me too.
00:27:29.81\00:27:31.15
I love O Holy Night,
00:27:31.18\00:27:32.51
that's a soprano's dream anyway.
00:27:32.55\00:27:34.08
And you should sing it.
00:27:34.12\00:27:35.45
Sopranos and tenors, oh,
that's all right, no in tenors.
00:27:35.48\00:27:37.92
And of course, we really
wanted David to have a mike,
00:27:37.95\00:27:41.36
but he doesn't want to talk.
00:27:41.39\00:27:43.02
But, Dave, I'm going to
put him on the spot right now.
00:27:43.06\00:27:45.46
He's going to, always
going to be mad at me later.
00:27:45.49\00:27:47.56
Well, what's your
favorite Christmas song, Dave?
00:27:47.60\00:27:50.33
'O Holy Night.'
00:27:50.37\00:27:53.77
He got me. Oh, it is good.
00:27:53.80\00:27:55.94
You know, when you
start thinking about
00:27:55.97\00:27:58.54
this time of year like everybody
00:27:58.57\00:28:01.28
has some kind of tradition
00:28:01.31\00:28:04.05
that they, that they
uphold in their families.
00:28:04.08\00:28:08.18
Okay, D, what was yours?
00:28:08.22\00:28:10.62
Well, growing up
and what it is now
00:28:10.65\00:28:13.12
are two different things.
00:28:13.15\00:28:14.49
Okay, let's talk
about both of them.
00:28:14.52\00:28:15.86
Okay, well, growing up,
it was very, very simple.
00:28:15.89\00:28:18.49
You know, we didn't do a
whole lot of decorations,
00:28:18.53\00:28:21.20
but, we always had
like Christmas worship
00:28:21.23\00:28:23.90
and Christmas worship was,
00:28:23.93\00:28:26.10
it was different
than normal worship.
00:28:26.13\00:28:28.57
You know, it was
just more centered
00:28:28.60\00:28:30.04
on the birth of
Christ and everything
00:28:30.07\00:28:34.24
that was going on at that time.
00:28:34.28\00:28:36.64
But now as a
parent, I incorporated that
00:28:36.68\00:28:41.38
as well as the
decorating and the--
00:28:41.42\00:28:44.92
I love the food as well but...
00:28:44.95\00:28:46.35
Yeah, Lyndon would say that too.
00:28:46.39\00:28:48.89
The decorating, well, I'm
going to leave that for him.
00:28:48.92\00:28:50.43
And watching my daughters' faces
00:28:50.46\00:28:54.40
when, you know,
how there are things
00:28:54.43\00:28:57.47
that you want and
expect for Christmas,
00:28:57.50\00:28:59.97
you know, that
you tell your parents
00:29:00.00\00:29:01.34
that you want, but
then there are things
00:29:01.37\00:29:03.74
that you know that
your child would love
00:29:03.77\00:29:06.31
but it's not
something they asked for.
00:29:06.34\00:29:08.74
And so, when they see something
that they didn't expect,
00:29:08.78\00:29:12.01
I like the expressions
on their faces, you know.
00:29:12.05\00:29:15.15
And isn't that
what God does for us?
00:29:15.18\00:29:17.02
You took it
right out of my mouth.
00:29:17.05\00:29:18.62
Yes, it's exactly what He does.
Isn't that what He does for us?
00:29:18.65\00:29:21.32
Like the things
that we don't expect,
00:29:21.36\00:29:24.26
all sweet little, nice little,
00:29:24.29\00:29:27.40
wonderful things
that He does for us.
00:29:27.43\00:29:29.13
But anyway, go
ahead. I don't want to...
00:29:29.16\00:29:30.50
No, no, no, I was just
about to say the same thing,
00:29:30.53\00:29:32.67
because that's
exactly what He does for us.
00:29:32.70\00:29:34.87
You know, and He'll give us
people like that in our lives.
00:29:34.90\00:29:38.21
We've got parents
and we've got friends
00:29:38.24\00:29:39.91
but then there maybe
someone that you know what,
00:29:39.94\00:29:42.11
I didn't expect to
have a relationship with you
00:29:42.14\00:29:44.08
and it's like
really, I'm growing from it
00:29:44.11\00:29:46.58
and I'm learning from it.
00:29:46.61\00:29:47.95
Yeah, it's much deeper
than, than we expected.
00:29:47.98\00:29:50.22
It is, it's really true.
00:29:50.25\00:29:51.92
You know, this is
a time of the year
00:29:51.95\00:29:53.96
where you really
need to think about
00:29:53.99\00:29:56.73
who is important in your life
00:29:56.76\00:29:58.56
and how can you make
that person's life better
00:29:58.59\00:30:02.50
and then, who is
that you don't know.
00:30:02.53\00:30:05.70
You know, you said
something to me earlier, D,
00:30:05.73\00:30:08.80
about how you
bring, you and your wife
00:30:08.84\00:30:12.07
bring someone that
you don't really know,
00:30:12.11\00:30:14.61
home to eat.
00:30:14.64\00:30:16.28
Tell us about
that because I think...
00:30:16.31\00:30:17.65
I told you that.
00:30:17.68\00:30:19.61
I don't remember
telling. And you know what?
00:30:19.65\00:30:20.98
People watching are going to,
00:30:21.02\00:30:22.35
want to get an invitation
but tell us about that
00:30:22.38\00:30:23.92
because I think that's
a wonderful thing to do.
00:30:23.95\00:30:25.95
Yeah, well, it really is
00:30:25.99\00:30:27.92
because we go to a
church that's about
00:30:27.96\00:30:31.13
I don't know,
maybe 700 or 800 members
00:30:31.16\00:30:33.60
and there's no way to
know everybody in the church.
00:30:33.63\00:30:37.60
So even though we've
been there for eight years,
00:30:37.63\00:30:40.00
we don't know everybody.
00:30:40.04\00:30:41.37
And what we decided is
once a month as a ministry,
00:30:41.40\00:30:44.81
we will bring
people that we don't know
00:30:44.84\00:30:47.84
and we'll get to know over food.
00:30:47.88\00:30:50.75
You know, so we'll
have conversation about
00:30:50.78\00:30:53.25
just whatever, you know.
00:30:53.28\00:30:54.62
But just extending ourselves
to people outside of our,
00:30:54.65\00:30:57.22
our regular circle of friends
00:30:57.25\00:30:59.09
and just using
that as a ministry tool.
00:30:59.12\00:31:02.66
That's great and I
think that, you know,
00:31:02.69\00:31:05.16
that's what the
Lord would have us to do,
00:31:05.19\00:31:07.63
to reach out, to
reach out to people.
00:31:07.66\00:31:09.23
What about you?
00:31:09.26\00:31:10.60
What kind of
tradition do you have?
00:31:10.63\00:31:12.90
Um, well, as kid, I mean
you always had the presents.
00:31:12.93\00:31:16.44
The main
tradition was the stockings
00:31:16.54\00:31:18.94
the night before Christmas.
00:31:18.97\00:31:20.71
And you may be got
to open up one present.
00:31:20.74\00:31:22.81
But I always remember
smelling my mom's orange rose
00:31:22.84\00:31:26.41
where she had the
oranges zest in it and it was,
00:31:26.45\00:31:30.45
it was just so good,
and that's just a memory
00:31:30.49\00:31:32.59
that I always carry over.
00:31:32.62\00:31:34.82
I probably won't be
able to make it for my kids,
00:31:34.86\00:31:36.36
but hopefully she would.
00:31:36.39\00:31:37.73
Are you kind of a
food person, Lyndon?
00:31:37.76\00:31:39.49
I'm of course.
00:31:39.53\00:31:41.96
Put it front of me, I'll eat it.
00:31:42.00\00:31:43.83
So the orange zest
and making those rosy,
00:31:43.87\00:31:47.80
I think that
memories, making memories
00:31:47.84\00:31:51.71
is such an important
thing for your children
00:31:51.74\00:31:54.74
and here at Dare to Dream,
00:31:54.78\00:31:57.05
we have our
relationship program called
00:31:57.08\00:31:59.31
'Making It Work', where we
focus on marriage and parenting
00:31:59.35\00:32:04.55
and that kind of
thing and it's so important
00:32:04.59\00:32:07.12
to make memories
for your children,
00:32:07.16\00:32:10.29
things that
they'll never forget.
00:32:10.33\00:32:12.06
It doesn't have to be anything
that costs a lot of money.
00:32:12.09\00:32:15.13
It can be a weekly
trip to the library,
00:32:15.16\00:32:18.43
it can be just watching a
movie about Jesus together.
00:32:18.47\00:32:23.97
It could be
playing a game together.
00:32:24.01\00:32:25.87
It could be spending Sabbath
together in a special way,
00:32:25.91\00:32:28.71
but doing things
that create memories,
00:32:28.74\00:32:31.81
that is just timeless.
00:32:31.85\00:32:34.08
In my family, years and years
ago, when I was a little girl,
00:32:34.12\00:32:38.02
my mom, every Christmas,
00:32:38.05\00:32:40.42
my mom and my aunt would wait
00:32:40.46\00:32:42.39
until the very last
minute to go get a tree.
00:32:42.42\00:32:46.19
I mean, like, like the
day before or something,
00:32:46.23\00:32:49.16
'cause then the trees
were reduced, you know,
00:32:49.20\00:32:51.17
and you could get
them like, almost free.
00:32:51.20\00:32:52.83
What does it look
like the day before?
00:32:52.87\00:32:54.87
That's true.
The left over trees?
00:32:54.90\00:32:56.84
The left over trees. Okay, yeah.
00:32:56.87\00:32:59.07
And now so the
trees look really bad.
00:32:59.11\00:33:01.04
And so my mother and my
aunt, Carmen Dave knows my,
00:33:01.08\00:33:05.61
knew my mother and my aunt
00:33:05.65\00:33:07.95
would go out and look for trees
00:33:07.98\00:33:09.42
and this particular
year, I was in the car.
00:33:09.45\00:33:12.85
They got out, they went into
this place that had the trees
00:33:12.89\00:33:16.69
at a really reduced rate
and I just remember this dog...
00:33:16.73\00:33:20.40
It's funny now, it wasn't funny
then, coming after my mother.
00:33:20.43\00:33:23.30
My mother just
freaking out because,
00:33:23.33\00:33:25.97
because at the
last minute, you know,
00:33:26.00\00:33:29.60
these trees are available
00:33:29.64\00:33:31.61
but they still had
animals there to protect
00:33:31.64\00:33:34.71
so that people didn't
come and rob and pillage.
00:33:34.74\00:33:37.75
So, every year
at the last minute,
00:33:37.78\00:33:40.48
my mom and my aunt would go
00:33:40.52\00:33:42.25
and get the tree
and it would just,
00:33:42.28\00:33:44.59
it might not sound like
it's that big of a deal,
00:33:44.62\00:33:47.39
but it was something that
we look forward to every year.
00:33:47.42\00:33:50.89
And I think we can do that with
our children and grandchildren.
00:33:50.93\00:33:54.36
You know, do something
00:33:54.40\00:33:55.73
that they can look
forward to every year.
00:33:55.76\00:33:58.90
I like that, I
like that. Beautiful.
00:33:58.93\00:34:00.50
Yeah, cool.
00:34:00.54\00:34:01.87
I'm beginning to
think that to my experience
00:34:01.90\00:34:03.81
was just a little bit different
00:34:03.84\00:34:05.17
from the ones you have shared
00:34:05.21\00:34:06.54
and they're so beautiful,
your experiences growing up.
00:34:06.57\00:34:09.64
But for me as a
child, Christmas at first,
00:34:09.68\00:34:13.08
I mean, my first experience
00:34:13.11\00:34:16.55
or memories of experiences
00:34:16.58\00:34:18.75
as a child
weren't very pleasant.
00:34:18.79\00:34:22.99
Well, at least I
thought they weren't pleasant
00:34:23.02\00:34:24.66
but my parents were
using those moments,
00:34:24.69\00:34:28.23
those holidays as
teachable moments for all of us.
00:34:28.26\00:34:31.93
We didn't get any presents
00:34:31.97\00:34:35.37
and didn't make
quite a big deal with trees
00:34:35.40\00:34:38.21
and all those things.
00:34:38.24\00:34:39.61
And at that time, I would,
you know, I would sulk a lot
00:34:39.64\00:34:44.88
because I couldn't share
00:34:44.91\00:34:46.25
wonderful
stories with my friends.
00:34:46.28\00:34:48.92
"Oh, I got
this, and I got that."
00:34:48.95\00:34:50.62
But, um, and it's not because
my parents couldn't afford it.
00:34:50.65\00:34:56.49
They wanted us to understand
the importance of giving.
00:34:56.52\00:35:00.40
And so that was a
time when we went out
00:35:00.43\00:35:03.03
shared our gifts,
our talents and our food
00:35:03.06\00:35:06.13
and help those in need.
00:35:06.17\00:35:08.20
But that's a
legacy that lives on.
00:35:08.24\00:35:11.77
Even now when it
has, it has certainly
00:35:11.81\00:35:15.78
framed my outlook
on life even today.
00:35:15.81\00:35:20.92
So, not to sound cliche,
00:35:20.95\00:35:23.65
but Christmas for me
is really about giving.
00:35:23.69\00:35:26.19
Yeah. It really is about giving.
00:35:26.22\00:35:28.52
You know, and I'm going
to do the exact same thing
00:35:28.56\00:35:30.19
for my daughter growing up.
00:35:30.23\00:35:31.59
I'm not going to,
like I was, which,
00:35:31.63\00:35:35.36
which I don't mind,
getting all the gifts,
00:35:35.40\00:35:38.33
but at the same
time, just like you said,
00:35:38.37\00:35:40.14
Christmas isn't
about getting the gifts,
00:35:40.17\00:35:41.74
it's about giving the gifts.
00:35:41.77\00:35:43.10
So yes, I can give her a
gift or a couple of gifts
00:35:43.14\00:35:45.97
but not a whole bunch of gifts
00:35:46.01\00:35:47.54
that are going
to be under the tree
00:35:47.58\00:35:48.91
and teach her
that meaning of giving.
00:35:48.94\00:35:50.85
It's about
giving. It's about giving.
00:35:50.88\00:35:52.95
And that is the bottom-line.
00:35:52.98\00:35:55.05
It is, it is about, about
00:35:55.08\00:35:57.12
what we can give
and how we can share.
00:35:57.15\00:36:00.86
And let's sing another song.
00:36:00.89\00:36:02.22
We'll sing, okay.
00:36:02.26\00:36:03.59
What are you going to
sing? O Come All Ye Faithful.
00:36:03.63\00:36:06.36
That was a smooth segue, right?
00:36:06.39\00:36:08.43
O come all ye faithful
00:36:15.27\00:36:20.68
Joyful and triumphant
00:36:20.71\00:36:25.01
O come ye
00:36:25.05\00:36:27.55
O come ye
00:36:27.58\00:36:29.72
To Bethlehem
00:36:29.75\00:36:35.26
Come and behold Him
00:36:35.29\00:36:40.40
Born the King of Angels
00:36:40.43\00:36:44.97
O come, let us adore Him
00:36:45.00\00:36:50.14
O come, let us adore Him
00:36:50.17\00:36:55.54
O come, let us adore Him
00:36:55.58\00:37:01.85
Christ the Lord
00:37:01.88\00:37:07.92
Sing choirs of angels
00:37:07.96\00:37:14.26
Sing in exultation
00:37:14.30\00:37:19.77
Oh, sing all ye citizens
00:37:19.80\00:37:26.27
Of heaven above
00:37:26.31\00:37:33.08
Glory to God
00:37:33.11\00:37:38.29
O glory in the highest
00:37:38.32\00:37:45.89
O come, let us adore Him
00:37:45.93\00:37:52.73
O come, let us adore Him
00:37:52.77\00:37:59.37
O come
00:37:59.41\00:38:01.81
Let us adore Him
00:38:01.84\00:38:08.38
Christ, the Lord
00:38:08.42\00:38:16.39
Amen.
00:38:18.53\00:38:20.36
How beautiful. Ah,
that's another favorite.
00:38:20.40\00:38:22.80
It is! It is, right?
That's another favorite.
00:38:22.83\00:38:24.93
You start thinking about
00:38:24.97\00:38:26.33
all of these songs
that you grew up with,
00:38:26.37\00:38:28.60
that are timeless, that
we can just keep singing.
00:38:28.64\00:38:31.31
And as a singer, some
songs are just fun to sing.
00:38:31.34\00:38:33.91
Like you said
some melodic earlier.
00:38:33.94\00:38:35.61
Exactly, yeah. Yes, yes.
00:38:35.64\00:38:37.41
And this one is
one, is one of them.
00:38:37.45\00:38:39.68
I think that if we would
just share through music.
00:38:39.71\00:38:45.65
Music is such a
powerful force that we can,
00:38:45.69\00:38:49.32
you know, do you guys carol?
00:38:49.36\00:38:51.49
Do you ever go caroling?
00:38:51.53\00:38:52.86
I haven't done it in a
while. I love it though.
00:38:52.89\00:38:55.30
Do you? I say, I don't...
00:38:55.33\00:38:56.67
We should do that this year.
00:38:56.70\00:38:58.90
You do right now.
00:38:58.93\00:39:01.50
We'll start in Illinois.
00:39:01.54\00:39:03.67
We'll start in Illinois
00:39:03.71\00:39:05.07
and knock on
the doors out there.
00:39:05.11\00:39:07.44
See if people let us in.
00:39:07.48\00:39:08.81
They'll be like,
"Whoa, strangers here."
00:39:08.84\00:39:11.38
But we, we really could..
00:39:11.41\00:39:12.91
I'm not real comfortable with...
00:39:12.95\00:39:16.48
Again, now people will sing
00:39:16.52\00:39:17.85
in the subways
and stuff like that,
00:39:17.89\00:39:19.55
just start singing.
00:39:19.59\00:39:20.92
I just can't do
that. Can you guys do that?
00:39:20.96\00:39:23.02
Can you just start
caroling, like at any point?
00:39:23.06\00:39:25.29
With a group of
people, not by myself.
00:39:25.33\00:39:26.66
Yeah, with a group,
I was about to say it.
00:39:26.70\00:39:28.03
Okay, okay. All
right, all right.
00:39:28.06\00:39:30.17
'Cause I've just
never been able to do that.
00:39:30.20\00:39:33.20
I think that that's kind of a...
00:39:33.23\00:39:36.04
It's kind of a scary prospect.
00:39:36.07\00:39:37.84
And I don't know why,
00:39:37.87\00:39:39.21
I don't know if
it's pride or what,
00:39:39.24\00:39:40.74
like you just
don't want, you know,
00:39:40.78\00:39:42.41
people will stare
at you like crazy.
00:39:42.44\00:39:43.78
They could just be nerves.
00:39:43.81\00:39:45.98
Yes, it could it
could be, it could be.
00:39:46.01\00:39:48.55
But anyway, I feel like,
00:39:48.58\00:39:51.89
there should be
something that we do
00:39:51.92\00:39:54.42
for someone this
particular Christmas.
00:39:54.46\00:39:57.69
Is there anything
that you can think of,
00:39:57.73\00:40:00.10
that you want to
do that's different
00:40:00.13\00:40:02.53
from what you
normally do for this Christmas?
00:40:02.56\00:40:07.24
I think it would be cool
00:40:07.27\00:40:08.67
to kind of the
people that you walk by.
00:40:08.70\00:40:12.07
Like, I'm always seeing
shoe shiners in the airport.
00:40:12.11\00:40:16.68
You know, say,
"Hey, can I shine?
00:40:16.71\00:40:18.58
You can still get paid but
let me shine the shoes for you."
00:40:18.61\00:40:21.25
You know, um,
'cause I like shined shoes,
00:40:21.28\00:40:24.12
so I would do it diligently.
00:40:24.15\00:40:26.02
Are you serious? Let's see.
00:40:26.05\00:40:27.59
Okay. All right.
00:40:27.62\00:40:29.29
Oh, Shirley has
something for you to do.
00:40:29.32\00:40:32.73
You know, maybe doing,
00:40:32.76\00:40:34.33
maybe doing some
things like that.
00:40:34.36\00:40:38.07
You know, maybe not
necessarily that but,
00:40:38.10\00:40:41.20
let's say you walk past a person
00:40:41.24\00:40:43.47
that's sweeping in a hallway.
00:40:43.51\00:40:44.84
"Hey, can I do
that for you?" Mmm.
00:40:44.87\00:40:46.37
You know, something unexpected.
00:40:46.41\00:40:48.08
Yeah, I like that.
What about you, Shirley Ann?
00:40:48.11\00:40:53.25
I love to be, to
be able to extent
00:40:53.28\00:40:57.22
Christmas throughout the year.
00:40:57.25\00:41:00.39
And to whomever I'm giving,
00:41:00.42\00:41:03.79
that person
would be the recipient
00:41:03.83\00:41:05.99
of that gift
throughout the year.
00:41:06.03\00:41:08.50
And so there are
number of things that,
00:41:08.53\00:41:13.64
that can be given this year.
00:41:13.67\00:41:17.87
In New York,
several of our residents
00:41:17.91\00:41:22.78
were displaced
because of hurricane Sandy.
00:41:23.75\00:41:26.05
Oh, yes.
00:41:26.08\00:41:27.55
And, so the opportunities
for giving, endless, endless.
00:41:27.58\00:41:34.56
That's where my
focus is right now.
00:41:34.59\00:41:37.09
That's a great idea. Yes.
00:41:37.13\00:41:39.19
That's a great idea.
What about you, Lyndon?
00:41:39.23\00:41:41.43
Just to in this
day and age, I mean,
00:41:41.46\00:41:44.27
we're just running and
running and running and for one,
00:41:44.30\00:41:47.70
I need to be a blessing
to my family and be at home,
00:41:47.74\00:41:50.27
be with my family, be
with my immediate family.
00:41:50.31\00:41:53.07
And then also my mom in Lincoln,
00:41:53.11\00:41:54.81
and I would also...
00:41:54.84\00:41:57.71
me and my wife
actually talked about
00:41:57.75\00:42:00.72
people who are
married and they have kids,
00:42:00.75\00:42:03.02
they need their date
nights and you know...
00:42:03.05\00:42:05.95
Amen. Yeah, amen.
00:42:05.99\00:42:08.76
I mean, and watching the kids
00:42:08.79\00:42:10.49
while they're
having a date night
00:42:10.53\00:42:13.26
and then they can watch my
kid when I had a date night.
00:42:13.29\00:42:15.23
Oh, I like that.
00:42:15.26\00:42:16.77
But, yeah, just, just
a little nice gesture.
00:42:16.80\00:42:19.77
And yeah, you can do
that throughout the year.
00:42:19.80\00:42:21.14
It doesn't have to
be just at Christmas.
00:42:21.17\00:42:22.74
Yeah. That's a great idea.
00:42:22.77\00:42:25.14
I think for me,
00:42:25.17\00:42:27.21
I've recently
passed by this shelter
00:42:27.24\00:42:31.55
and I have been
meaning to go by there
00:42:31.58\00:42:33.92
and just kind of
assess what their needs are
00:42:33.95\00:42:36.69
and just find out, you know,
00:42:36.72\00:42:38.92
is there anything that
I can do to help and so,
00:42:38.95\00:42:43.32
that might be a
good thing to do,
00:42:43.36\00:42:44.89
to go to a shelter or somewhere
00:42:44.93\00:42:48.93
where there are people
together that are less fortunate
00:42:48.96\00:42:52.27
and you can
just kind of find out
00:42:52.30\00:42:53.90
what you can do
to make a difference.
00:42:53.94\00:42:56.00
Or maybe your
church is doing something.
00:42:56.04\00:42:57.37
I know, like my church,
00:42:57.41\00:42:58.74
we do something but we
always need helpers to help
00:42:58.77\00:43:02.98
and so that's where
you can always start first
00:43:03.01\00:43:05.21
at your own home church
and see what they are doing.
00:43:05.25\00:43:07.18
Absolutely. That's a great idea.
00:43:07.22\00:43:11.69
We should sing,
00:43:11.72\00:43:13.05
'Silent Night'
and 'The First Noel.'
00:43:13.09\00:43:14.52
Great idea.
00:43:14.56\00:43:15.89
All right. You like my segue?
00:43:15.92\00:43:17.26
I do. Smooth?
00:43:17.29\00:43:18.63
Very smooth. Right.
00:43:18.66\00:43:20.00
Silent night
00:43:34.64\00:43:40.75
Holy night
00:43:40.78\00:43:46.89
All is calm
00:43:46.92\00:43:52.39
And all is bright
00:43:52.43\00:44:00.07
Round yon virgin
00:44:00.10\00:44:06.57
Mother and child
00:44:06.61\00:44:13.31
Holy infant
00:44:13.35\00:44:20.09
So tender and mild
00:44:20.12\00:44:27.66
Sleep in heavenly peace
00:44:27.70\00:44:35.64
Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:44:43.24\00:44:51.25
Silent night
00:45:04.63\00:45:11.44
Holy night
00:45:11.47\00:45:17.91
Shepherds quake
00:45:17.95\00:45:24.65
At the sight
00:45:24.69\00:45:31.19
Glories stream
00:45:31.23\00:45:37.27
From heaven above
00:45:37.30\00:45:44.61
Heavenly, hosts sing
00:45:44.64\00:45:51.91
Hallelujah
00:45:51.95\00:45:58.55
Christ the Savior is born
00:45:58.59\00:46:06.53
Christ the Savior is born
00:46:14.50\00:46:22.48
The First Noel
00:46:35.62\00:46:43.10
The Angels did say
00:46:43.13\00:46:50.04
Was to certain poor shepherds
00:46:50.07\00:46:57.51
In fields as they lay
00:46:57.55\00:47:04.42
In fields
00:47:04.45\00:47:08.49
Where they lay
00:47:08.52\00:47:13.13
Keeping their sheep
00:47:13.16\00:47:18.73
On a cold winter's night
00:47:18.77\00:47:26.11
That was so deep
00:47:26.14\00:47:34.05
Noel, Noel
00:47:34.08\00:47:40.96
Noel
00:47:40.99\00:47:44.83
Noel
00:47:44.86\00:47:49.66
Born is the King
00:47:49.70\00:47:57.61
of Israel
00:47:57.64\00:48:05.55
They looked up
00:48:05.58\00:48:13.36
And they saw a star
00:48:13.39\00:48:20.66
Shining
00:48:20.70\00:48:22.03
In the East
00:48:22.06\00:48:28.80
Beyond them afar
00:48:28.84\00:48:36.41
And to the earth
00:48:36.44\00:48:43.02
It gave great light
00:48:43.05\00:48:50.39
And so it continued
00:48:50.43\00:48:56.77
Both day and night
00:48:56.80\00:49:04.74
Noel, Noel
00:49:04.77\00:49:11.68
Noel
00:49:11.71\00:49:15.55
Noel
00:49:15.58\00:49:20.09
Born is the King
00:49:20.12\00:49:26.26
Of Israel
00:49:26.29\00:49:34.27
Amen, amen. Noel, Noel.
00:49:37.04\00:49:41.21
That I love that song.
That's a timeless one too.
00:49:41.24\00:49:43.91
You know, where you sang
that song to is Tim Miner.
00:49:43.95\00:49:48.02
Did you ever hear him sing that?
00:49:48.05\00:49:49.52
Tim Miner sang that and
he toured up to by Lyndon.
00:49:49.55\00:49:52.99
Thank you.
00:49:53.02\00:49:54.36
That was a
blessing, that was a blessing.
00:49:54.39\00:49:56.46
Okay, we have one more
song that we have to sing.
00:49:56.49\00:49:58.19
One more? We are
out of time already?
00:49:58.23\00:49:59.86
Almost.
00:49:59.89\00:50:01.23
We have time for one more song.
00:50:01.26\00:50:02.60
Okay. Great, great, great.
00:50:02.63\00:50:03.97
What do you want to do?
00:50:04.00\00:50:05.33
Well, we absolutely must do
'Hark! The Hearld Angels Sing.'
00:50:05.37\00:50:08.50
because it's
Duawne's very first solo song.
00:50:08.54\00:50:12.07
Oh, okay.
00:50:12.11\00:50:13.44
I didn't know I told you that.
00:50:13.48\00:50:14.81
You did. I remember it.
00:50:14.84\00:50:16.18
Ah, I love it.
Okay, we got to do that.
00:50:16.21\00:50:17.85
Let's do 'Hark! The
Hearld Angels Sing.'
00:50:17.88\00:50:19.21
Yes, for old time's sake.
00:50:19.25\00:50:20.58
Sing along with us at home.
00:50:24.19\00:50:28.02
Hark the herald angels sing
00:50:28.06\00:50:32.39
Glory to the newborn King!
00:50:32.43\00:50:37.00
Peace on earth and mercy mild
00:50:37.03\00:50:41.60
God and sinners reconciled
00:50:41.64\00:50:46.31
Joyful, all ye nations rise
00:50:46.34\00:50:50.91
Join the triumph of the skies
00:50:50.95\00:50:55.58
With the angelic host proclaim
00:50:55.62\00:51:00.12
Christ is born in Bethlehem
00:51:00.16\00:51:04.56
Hark the herald angels sing
00:51:04.59\00:51:09.16
Glory to the newborn King!
00:51:09.20\00:51:15.04
All right.
00:51:15.07\00:51:17.04
Hark the herald angels sing
00:51:24.55\00:51:29.58
Jesus, the Light of the world
00:51:29.62\00:51:34.46
Glory to the newborn King
00:51:34.49\00:51:39.23
Jesus, the Light of the world
00:51:39.26\00:51:43.03
We'll walk in the
Light, beautiful Light
00:51:43.06\00:51:48.87
Come where the
dewdrops of mercy are right
00:51:48.90\00:51:53.81
Shine all around
us by day and by night
00:51:53.84\00:51:58.65
Jesus, the Light of the world
00:51:58.68\00:52:03.59
Hail the
heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
00:52:03.62\00:52:08.59
Jesus, the Light of the world
00:52:08.62\00:52:13.16
And hail the Son
of Righteousness!
00:52:13.19\00:52:18.37
Jesus, the Light of the world
00:52:18.40\00:52:22.00
We'll walk in the
Light, beautiful Light
00:52:22.04\00:52:28.01
Come where the
dewdrops of mercy are right
00:52:28.04\00:52:32.91
Shine all around
us by day and by night
00:52:32.95\00:52:37.85
Jesus, the Light of the world
00:52:37.89\00:52:41.79
We'll walk in the
Light, beautiful Light
00:52:41.82\00:52:47.66
Come where the
dewdrops of mercy are right
00:52:47.70\00:52:52.50
Shine all around
us by day and by night
00:52:52.53\00:52:57.31
Jesus, the Light of the world
00:52:57.34\00:53:03.61
Amen, amen.
00:53:03.65\00:53:07.28
So, we have to wind this up
00:53:07.32\00:53:10.22
and the time is
really gone by really fast.
00:53:10.25\00:53:11.89
I know, already, already.
00:53:11.92\00:53:13.99
How are you guys
going to spend the holidays?
00:53:14.02\00:53:15.99
What are you going to be doing?
00:53:16.02\00:53:17.36
Let's start with you, D.
What am I going to be doing?
00:53:17.39\00:53:18.99
Well, my wife's from Bermuda.
00:53:19.03\00:53:21.03
So we normally spend
the Christmas season,
00:53:21.06\00:53:24.67
the holiday season
with her family there.
00:53:24.70\00:53:27.37
But before we go,
'cause I live in the D.C area,
00:53:27.40\00:53:31.57
we'll watch the White
House Christmas tree be lit up.
00:53:31.61\00:53:34.24
Oh, cool.
00:53:34.28\00:53:35.61
And they have, they have
a Christmas tree in a circle
00:53:35.64\00:53:38.65
for everyone one
of the 50 states.
00:53:38.68\00:53:40.98
And so, we'll
have like hot chocolate
00:53:41.02\00:53:43.05
and you know,
it's, it's very festive.
00:53:43.08\00:53:45.39
Oh, that's nice.
00:53:45.42\00:53:46.76
And then we'll
board a plane and..
00:53:46.79\00:53:48.32
You guys do that every year?
00:53:48.36\00:53:49.69
We do. You've
been doing that...Okay.
00:53:49.72\00:53:51.06
And then we'll board a plane
and wear shorts for Christmas.
00:53:51.09\00:53:53.60
Oh, that's awesome, awesome.
00:53:53.63\00:53:56.10
What about you, Shirley Ann?
I would love to go with you.
00:53:56.13\00:53:58.97
Come along, come along.
00:53:59.00\00:54:01.10
Beautiful. Just the
wonderful place to be.
00:54:01.14\00:54:03.71
Like it's for me,
the legacy continues.
00:54:03.74\00:54:05.71
I will be giving on
Christmas and getting out there,
00:54:05.74\00:54:10.35
maybe heading back
down to Staten Island
00:54:10.38\00:54:12.61
and all those places
affected out in New York
00:54:12.65\00:54:16.05
and just giving
my heart to them.
00:54:16.08\00:54:18.69
Oh, nice. Nice. Yes.
00:54:18.72\00:54:21.36
Well, I'm going to be doing
00:54:21.39\00:54:22.92
a Christmas
program with my church.
00:54:22.96\00:54:25.39
Orchard Park
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:54:25.43\00:54:27.13
put out a Shamus book.
00:54:27.16\00:54:30.03
And then I'll be
going home to spend time
00:54:30.07\00:54:33.94
with my family in Nebraska
00:54:33.97\00:54:35.50
and go to Allon Chapel
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:54:35.54\00:54:38.57
Oh, nice.
00:54:38.61\00:54:40.48
Well, my dad came here
from Dallas a while ago
00:54:40.51\00:54:44.25
and he's in a
nursing home here and so,
00:54:44.28\00:54:47.65
he and I are
going to be together
00:54:47.68\00:54:49.15
with some other
family and friends here
00:54:49.18\00:54:51.29
and just spend
Christmas together,
00:54:51.32\00:54:53.02
which would be really nice.
00:54:53.05\00:54:54.39
Nice. Yeah, yeah.
00:54:54.42\00:54:55.99
Family time.
That's priceless. Yeah.
00:54:56.02\00:54:58.66
It is, it is. I
want to thank all of you.
00:54:58.69\00:55:01.13
This means so much, you know,
00:55:01.16\00:55:03.10
to have you here and to have
00:55:03.13\00:55:05.07
to share this program with.
00:55:05.10\00:55:06.74
This is our first
annual Magnify Him Christmas
00:55:06.77\00:55:10.81
or a holiday special
and so, I just thank you.
00:55:10.84\00:55:14.08
Thank you, David,
thank you, Lyndon.
00:55:14.11\00:55:16.71
Thank you, so my mind is,
00:55:16.75\00:55:18.15
well, my mind is locking up now.
00:55:18.18\00:55:20.02
Thank you, Shirley Ann
and thank you, D so much.
00:55:20.05\00:55:23.82
I just can't even express
how much I appreciate this.
00:55:23.85\00:55:27.46
You know God brings
everything together.
00:55:27.49\00:55:30.66
Everything-- everybody
that's supposed to be here,
00:55:30.69\00:55:33.70
is here and so, thank you.
00:55:33.73\00:55:36.00
May God bless you and I hope
you have a wonderful holiday.
00:55:36.03\00:55:37.80
Yes.
00:55:37.83\00:55:39.17
God bless you too. Thank you.
00:55:39.20\00:55:41.64
Magnify Him.
00:55:41.67\00:55:46.34
So, Yvonne, we've now
recorded, what, three seasons?
00:55:46.37\00:55:49.38
Three seasons.
00:55:49.41\00:55:50.75
And it's taken three
seasons to get you to sing.
00:55:50.78\00:55:53.42
Could you explain why
really this Christmas?
00:55:53.45\00:55:56.35
Was, was it the holidays,
00:55:56.38\00:55:57.79
is that what it was that
got you to the mood to sing?
00:55:57.82\00:56:00.09
Yes, and the fact
that some other people
00:56:00.12\00:56:02.62
that were supposed
to come, couldn't come.
00:56:02.66\00:56:03.99
You think that's it? No, no.
00:56:04.03\00:56:06.19
No, it's... I
love this time of year
00:56:06.23\00:56:08.70
and I just love
being able to sing
00:56:08.73\00:56:10.43
and so I'm thankful
that I was able to sing
00:56:10.47\00:56:12.73
for Magnify Him
for the first time.
00:56:12.77\00:56:14.10
Yes, yes.
00:56:14.14\00:56:15.50
It was a
blessing. So, what's next?
00:56:15.54\00:56:18.67
As far as?
00:56:18.71\00:56:20.54
As far as when
we leave this place.
00:56:20.58\00:56:23.31
Yes?
00:56:23.35\00:56:24.68
What are we going to do?
00:56:24.71\00:56:26.82
We're going to go eat.
00:56:26.85\00:56:28.38
You talking about today?
00:56:28.42\00:56:31.29
Are you telling about
today or on the holidays?
00:56:31.32\00:56:33.02
The holidays. Oh, my bad.
00:56:33.05\00:56:35.16
Okay, so what we are planning...
00:56:35.19\00:56:37.16
We still got to go eat.
00:56:37.19\00:56:38.53
We still gonna go eat,
00:56:38.56\00:56:40.16
but I'm doing a
Christmas program
00:56:40.20\00:56:41.53
with Danny
Shelton and John Lomacang
00:56:41.56\00:56:43.83
at the nursing home for my dad.
00:56:43.87\00:56:45.87
Excellent. Yes. Lord willing.
00:56:45.90\00:56:47.67
And I'll be doing some
things in the D.C area.
00:56:47.70\00:56:49.84
Great. Oh, that's
awesome. Yes, yes.
00:56:49.87\00:56:51.94
Now this was our first
Magnify Him holiday special.
00:56:51.97\00:56:55.58
All of our artists wish
you a very happy holiday
00:56:55.61\00:56:59.15
as you celebrate
the birth and life
00:56:59.18\00:57:01.48
of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:57:01.52\00:57:03.95
May you richly experience His
peace and blessings this season
00:57:03.99\00:57:07.99
and then in the
months and years to come.
00:57:08.02\00:57:10.59
Think about something great
that you can do for someone.
00:57:10.63\00:57:13.50
Think about a way
00:57:13.53\00:57:15.03
that you can make their
lives a little bit better.
00:57:15.06\00:57:18.83
Think about how you might be
00:57:18.87\00:57:21.07
the only Jesus
that they ever see,
00:57:21.10\00:57:24.11
and then when you do
that and you reach out,
00:57:24.14\00:57:27.71
watch what God does for you.
00:57:27.74\00:57:30.51
Happy holidays. Happy holidays.
00:57:30.55\00:57:31.88
May God bless
you. God bless you.
00:57:31.91\00:57:35.68
