This world is not my home
I'm just a-passin' through
00:01:07.57\00:01:12.28
My treasures are laid up
somewhere beyond the blue
00:01:12.31\00:01:17.13
The angels beckon me
from heaven's open door
00:01:17.16\00:01:21.78
And I can't feel at
home in this world anymore
00:01:21.81\00:01:27.71
Oh Lord, You know I
have no friend like You
00:01:27.74\00:01:32.40
If heaven's not my home
then Lord what will I do?
00:01:32.43\00:01:37.19
The angels beckon me
from heaven's open door
00:01:37.22\00:01:41.69
And I can't feel at
home in this world anymore
00:01:41.72\00:01:47.73
Just up in glory
land we'll live eternally
00:01:47.76\00:01:52.69
The saints on every
hand will shout the victory
00:01:52.72\00:01:57.33
Their songs of sweetest praise
will ring from heaven's shore
00:01:57.36\00:02:01.97
And I can't feel at
home in this world anymore
00:02:02.00\00:02:08.10
Oh Lord, You know I
have no friend like You
00:02:08.13\00:02:12.92
If heaven's not my home
then Lord what will I do?
00:02:12.95\00:02:17.53
The angels beckon me
from heaven's open door
00:02:17.56\00:02:22.11
And I can't feel at
home in this world anymore
00:02:22.14\00:02:27.71
Oh Lord, You know I
have no friend like You
00:03:07.14\00:03:11.92
If heaven's not my home
then Lord what will I do?
00:03:11.95\00:03:16.59
The angels beckon me
from heaven's open door
00:03:16.62\00:03:21.08
And I can't feel at
home in this world anymore
00:03:21.11\00:03:26.76
No, I can't feel at
home in this world anymore
00:03:26.79\00:03:34.13
Well, thank you very much.
00:03:37.71\00:03:39.08
We're certainly glad
00:03:39.11\00:03:40.48
to be here on this
beautiful, beautiful sunny day.
00:03:40.51\00:03:43.22
Glad to be inside
where it's air conditioned.
00:03:43.25\00:03:45.77
We call ourselves "Hand Picked."
00:03:45.80\00:03:47.85
And I think if you just
look, you can kind of figure out
00:03:47.88\00:03:50.51
where the name came from
but we like to take it a step
00:03:50.54\00:03:53.04
deeper and
recognize that each one of us,
00:03:53.07\00:03:57.13
each one of you were Hand Picked
00:03:57.16\00:03:59.80
before the
foundation of the world.
00:03:59.83\00:04:01.39
We're part of God's family
00:04:01.42\00:04:02.79
and that's of course
what we want to sing about.
00:04:02.82\00:04:05.14
We want to sing about the
home He's got prepared for us.
00:04:05.17\00:04:09.13
Just a quick introduction
of each person here.
00:04:09.16\00:04:12.29
If you put the name Dickerson
00:04:12.32\00:04:13.69
behind most of
them it will work.
00:04:13.72\00:04:15.38
Or Steve in front.
00:04:15.41\00:04:16.78
Or Steve in front
works for some too.
00:04:16.81\00:04:19.10
We've got Larry
Dickerson, Steve--excuse me--
00:04:19.13\00:04:23.14
Larry Dickerson, Clint
Dickerson, Steve Dickerson
00:04:23.17\00:04:26.53
and Bill Dickerson on the piano.
00:04:26.56\00:04:28.47
And these guys they
are all either brothers
00:04:28.50\00:04:30.25
or cousins or a
mix of both. Both.
00:04:30.28\00:04:33.86
Yeah, we've got a
funny situation here, no.
00:04:33.89\00:04:37.52
Then I married into the family.
00:04:37.55\00:04:40.41
My wife is Bill's daughter
and so I'm Tim Greenlaw.
00:04:40.44\00:04:44.24
And my second great buddy
here, who we just had to drag
00:04:44.27\00:04:47.88
into the group, is Steve Wagner.
00:04:47.91\00:04:49.86
And we're glad to have
him playing the banjo with us.
00:04:49.89\00:04:52.06
We're all from
the Walla Walla valley
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.06
and we do this sort
of thing on weekends
00:04:54.09\00:04:57.13
in churches around
about our conference
00:04:57.16\00:04:58.99
and often do some of
the neighboring conferences.
00:04:59.02\00:05:01.19
We enjoy it very much.
00:05:01.22\00:05:03.24
We're gonna go
on to our next song.
00:05:03.27\00:05:04.64
It's one that you
may think you recognize,
00:05:04.67\00:05:07.13
probably, not
really the same one
00:05:07.16\00:05:08.93
but it's still
easy to sing along with.
00:05:08.96\00:05:10.72
It's called "What a
friend Jesus is to me."
00:05:10.75\00:05:12.73
Sometimes when I'm sad
a friend will make me glad
00:05:18.45\00:05:23.20
Someone to
comfort me when I'm down.
00:05:23.23\00:05:27.90
But it's only God
who can take the bad
00:05:27.93\00:05:33.00
And turn the poor
old sinner's life around
00:05:33.03\00:05:37.54
I have many
friends I can call upon
00:05:37.57\00:05:42.37
Who will help me in time of need
00:05:42.40\00:05:47.07
But there's only one who
will stay after they are gone
00:05:47.10\00:05:51.82
What a friend Jesus is to me
00:05:51.85\00:05:56.19
He walks with me He walks
with me along life's pathway
00:05:56.22\00:06:01.31
He lights the way so I can see
00:06:01.34\00:06:05.97
He talks with me
He talks with me,
00:06:06.00\00:06:08.46
He never leaves me lonely
What a friend Jesus is to me
00:06:08.49\00:06:14.23
Friends may come and
go, death may take them on
00:06:20.17\00:06:24.93
Though I hate to see them leave
00:06:24.96\00:06:29.88
But God will dry my
tears He is always near
00:06:29.91\00:06:34.23
What a friend Jesus is to me
00:06:34.26\00:06:38.61
He walks with me He walks
with me along life's pathway
00:06:38.64\00:06:43.73
Lights the way so I can see
00:06:43.76\00:06:48.03
He talks with me
He talks with me,
00:06:48.06\00:06:50.73
He never leaves me lonely
What a friend Jesus is to me
00:06:50.76\00:06:57.22
Sometimes we are
deceived by the friends we love
00:07:02.86\00:07:07.40
In this world of sin and grief
00:07:07.43\00:07:12.39
But God is always
there when nobody else cares
00:07:12.42\00:07:16.84
What a friend Jesus is to me
00:07:16.87\00:07:21.21
He walks with me He walks
with me along life's pathway
00:07:21.24\00:07:26.31
Lights the way so I can see
00:07:26.34\00:07:30.61
He talks with me
He talks with me,
00:07:30.64\00:07:33.25
He never leaves me lonely
What a friend Jesus is to me
00:07:33.28\00:07:40.17
He walks with me He walks
with me along life's pathway
00:07:40.20\00:07:45.12
Lights the way so I can see
00:07:45.15\00:07:49.46
He talks with me
He talks with me,
00:07:49.49\00:07:52.18
He never leaves me lonely
What a friend Jesus is to me
00:07:52.21\00:07:59.32
As I travel
through this pilgrim land
00:08:49.07\00:08:52.66
There is a
friend who walks with me
00:08:52.69\00:08:57.96
Leads me safely
through the sinking sand
00:08:57.99\00:09:01.62
It is the Christ of Calvary
00:09:01.65\00:09:06.79
This would be
my prayer dear Lord
00:09:06.82\00:09:09.74
Each day to help
me do the best I can
00:09:09.77\00:09:15.14
For I need Thy light
to guide me day and night
00:09:15.17\00:09:19.49
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
00:09:19.52\00:09:24.53
Chorus: Jesus, hold my hand,
00:09:24.56\00:09:28.75
I need Thee every hour
00:09:28.78\00:09:33.72
Through this pilgrim land,
00:09:33.75\00:09:37.58
protect me by Thy power
00:09:37.61\00:09:42.76
Hear my feeble plea
00:09:42.79\00:09:46.61
O Lord, look down on me
00:09:46.64\00:09:51.13
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet you there
00:09:51.16\00:09:55.93
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
00:09:55.96\00:10:01.03
Let me travel
in the light divine
00:10:01.06\00:10:04.52
That I may see the blessed way
00:10:04.55\00:10:09.72
Teach me that I
may be wholly Thine
00:10:09.75\00:10:13.38
And sing
redemption's song some day
00:10:13.41\00:10:18.75
I would be a
soldier brave and true
00:10:18.78\00:10:22.42
And ever firmly take a stand
00:10:22.45\00:10:27.04
As I onward go
and daily meet the foe
00:10:27.07\00:10:31.52
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
00:10:31.55\00:10:36.53
Chorus: Jesus, Hold my hand,
00:10:36.56\00:10:40.51
I need Thee every hour
00:10:40.54\00:10:45.51
Through this pilgrim land,
00:10:45.54\00:10:49.50
protect me by Thy power
00:10:49.53\00:10:54.60
Hear my feeble plea
00:10:54.63\00:10:58.65
O Lord, look down on me
00:10:58.68\00:11:03.06
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet you there
00:11:03.09\00:11:07.52
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
00:11:07.55\00:11:11.67
Chorus: Jesus, Hold my hand,
00:11:45.04\00:11:49.04
I need Thee every hour
00:11:49.07\00:11:54.12
Through this pilgrim land,
00:11:54.15\00:11:57.98
protect me by Thy power
00:11:58.01\00:12:03.04
Hear my feeble plea
00:12:03.07\00:12:06.96
O Lord, look down on me
00:12:06.99\00:12:11.29
When I kneel in prayer
00:12:11.32\00:12:13.82
I hope to meet you there
00:12:13.85\00:12:15.77
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
00:12:15.80\00:12:20.17
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
00:12:20.20\00:12:24.44
Blessed Jesus,
hold my hand Amen.
00:12:24.47\00:12:31.82
I wish you all
could see what I can see
00:12:39.65\00:12:41.31
from the--on the
front row up here.
00:12:41.34\00:12:43.62
We've got some visitors
00:12:43.65\00:12:45.61
from a blind camp
that are joining us today.
00:12:45.64\00:12:48.46
We want to welcome them.
00:12:48.49\00:12:50.02
And one of them-- right--
00:12:50.05\00:12:55.54
one of them has a
seeing eye dog with her.
00:12:55.57\00:12:59.14
And it's just the prettiest dog
00:12:59.17\00:13:00.58
you ever saw but it just knows
exactly what to do right now.
00:13:00.61\00:13:04.63
And you look at the
floor, you know, it looks like
00:13:04.66\00:13:07.35
it might be nice
and cool to get down
00:13:07.38\00:13:09.15
and lie on the floor with
your tummy against the floor,
00:13:09.18\00:13:11.55
that's what the dog's doing.
00:13:11.58\00:13:12.98
Just really
having a good time here.
00:13:13.01\00:13:15.46
And I hope that all of
us are comfortable enough
00:13:15.49\00:13:19.14
and we got some fans to keep
us cool or whatever it takes.
00:13:19.17\00:13:22.60
Because we want you to
have a good time this afternoon.
00:13:22.63\00:13:26.08
Now think about
heaven for a minute.
00:13:26.11\00:13:28.33
You know, it's gonna be
a wonderful place to go.
00:13:28.36\00:13:30.47
We've got some exhibits
around here that let us,
00:13:30.50\00:13:32.68
maybe, get a little taste
of what it's gonna be like.
00:13:32.71\00:13:34.91
But Bible tells us that,
you know, we can't imagine
00:13:34.94\00:13:38.31
all of the good things
that God's got in store for us.
00:13:38.34\00:13:41.94
And one of the
things that I look
00:13:41.97\00:13:43.62
forward to, and those
of you that love music,
00:13:43.65\00:13:45.71
I'm sure you have the same idea,
00:13:45.74\00:13:47.81
is to get a chance
to hear the angels sing.
00:13:47.84\00:13:51.42
Well, the next song that
we're gonna do talks about
00:13:51.45\00:13:53.59
that little bit and asks--
00:13:53.62\00:13:56.28
invites each
one of us to be sure
00:13:56.31\00:13:58.38
and be there because
there will be an empty chair
00:13:58.41\00:14:02.13
if you're not there.
00:14:02.16\00:14:03.53
I could never hold to
tell the joys of heaven
00:14:11.90\00:14:18.49
There are wonders
more than I will ever know
00:14:18.52\00:14:24.90
But the Lord wants me
to live with Him forever
00:14:24.93\00:14:31.81
It's the only
place I really want to go
00:14:31.84\00:14:38.42
When the angels start to
sing hallelujah to the King
00:14:38.45\00:14:45.34
It will be a
chorus far beyond compare
00:14:45.37\00:14:51.83
Then the greatest and the least
will all be seated for the feast
00:14:51.86\00:14:58.42
But there'll be an empty
chair if you're not there
00:14:58.45\00:15:05.03
I expect to meet the
saints from all the ages
00:15:05.06\00:15:11.67
And I'll see the ones
I love who've gone before
00:15:11.70\00:15:18.53
We'll forget the years
of trial and tribulation
00:15:18.56\00:15:25.14
As we share in
heaven's joys forevermore
00:15:25.17\00:15:31.91
When the angels start to
sing hallelujah to the King
00:15:31.94\00:15:38.39
It will be a
chorus far beyond compare
00:15:38.42\00:15:45.14
Then the greatest and the least
will all be seated for the feast
00:15:45.17\00:15:51.86
But there'll be an empty
chair if you're not there
00:15:51.89\00:15:58.89
I'll explore the
wonders of the new creation
00:16:51.81\00:16:58.16
As I'm looking for the
friends that I once knew
00:16:58.19\00:17:04.97
We'll as get--
find you there in heaven
00:17:05.00\00:17:11.38
There's a special
place intended just for you
00:17:11.41\00:17:17.66
When the angels start to
sing hallelujah to the King
00:17:17.69\00:17:24.72
It will be a
chorus far beyond compare
00:17:24.75\00:17:31.08
Then the greatest and the least
will all be seated for the feast
00:17:31.11\00:17:37.75
But there'll be an empty
chair if you're not there
00:17:37.78\00:17:44.71
That line that you may
not have perfectly understood
00:17:59.81\00:18:04.05
said, I hope that I will
find you there in heaven. Amen.
00:18:04.08\00:18:07.64
And that's right.
00:18:07.67\00:18:09.19
There is another song
that's--it's a beautiful
00:18:09.22\00:18:11.45
and well loved
song that we've come up
00:18:11.48\00:18:14.38
with a different tune for.
00:18:14.41\00:18:16.44
So you may recognize the words
00:18:16.47\00:18:18.12
but the tune may be a
little unfamiliar to you.
00:18:18.15\00:18:21.23
It talks about heaven too.
00:18:21.26\00:18:23.86
Talks about the
angels singing too.
00:18:23.89\00:18:25.48
It sure does, yeah.
00:18:25.51\00:18:26.88
"Holy, Holy is
what the angels sing."
00:18:26.91\00:18:28.63
A little family discussion here.
00:18:41.51\00:18:44.45
Who would you like to play
00:18:44.48\00:18:45.85
the introduction?
Mandolin? I think would be good.
00:18:45.88\00:18:48.98
All right, all right,
let's get out of this last song,
00:18:57.09\00:18:59.40
get into the next song.
00:18:59.43\00:19:00.80
Okay. We're learning it.
00:19:00.83\00:19:03.94
You're getting old, Larry.
00:19:15.64\00:19:17.04
One way or another.
00:19:23.71\00:19:25.08
There is singing up in Heaven
such as we have never known
00:19:45.19\00:19:51.46
Where the
angels sing the praises
00:19:51.49\00:19:54.64
of the Lamb upon the throne
00:19:54.67\00:19:57.59
Their sweet
harps are ever tuneful,
00:19:57.62\00:20:00.46
and their voices always clear
00:20:00.49\00:20:03.54
O that we might
be more like them
00:20:03.57\00:20:06.66
while we serve the Master here
00:20:06.69\00:20:10.01
Chorus: Holy, holy
is what the angels sing
00:20:10.04\00:20:15.71
And I expect to help them
make the courts of heaven ring
00:20:15.74\00:20:22.43
But when I sing
redemption story,
00:20:22.46\00:20:25.61
they will fold their wings
00:20:25.64\00:20:28.56
For angels never felt
00:20:28.59\00:20:31.12
the joy that
our salvation brings
00:20:31.15\00:20:37.17
But I hear another anthem,
blending voices clear and strong
00:20:43.65\00:20:49.87
"Unto Him Who hath
redeemed us and hath bought us,"
00:20:49.90\00:20:54.39
is the song We have
come through tribulations
00:20:54.42\00:20:58.79
to this land so fair and bright
00:20:58.82\00:21:01.75
In the fountain freely flowing
He hath made our garments white
00:21:01.78\00:21:07.73
Chorus: Holy, holy
is what the angels sing
00:21:07.76\00:21:14.17
And I expect to help them
make the courts of heaven ring
00:21:14.20\00:21:20.12
But when I sing
redemption story,
00:21:20.15\00:21:23.42
they will fold their wings
00:21:23.45\00:21:26.38
For angels never felt the joy
00:21:26.41\00:21:29.59
that our salvation brings
00:21:29.62\00:21:34.36
Then the angels
stand and listen,
00:21:41.06\00:21:44.46
for they cannot join the song
00:21:44.49\00:21:47.18
Like the sound of many waters
00:21:47.21\00:21:50.55
from that happy,
blood washed throng
00:21:50.58\00:21:53.59
For they sing about great trials
00:21:53.62\00:21:56.28
and battles
fought and victories won
00:21:56.31\00:21:59.36
And they praise
their great Redeemer
00:21:59.39\00:22:02.46
who hath said to
them, "Well done"
00:22:02.49\00:22:05.49
Chorus: Holy, holy
is what the angels sing
00:22:05.52\00:22:11.69
And I expect to help them
make the courts of heaven ring
00:22:11.72\00:22:17.73
But when I sing
redemption story,
00:22:17.76\00:22:20.98
they will fold their wings
00:22:21.01\00:22:23.94
For angels never felt the
joys that our salvation brings
00:22:23.97\00:22:31.25
So although I'm not an angel,
yet I know that over there
00:23:24.13\00:23:30.65
I will join a blessed chorus
that the angels cannot share
00:23:30.68\00:23:37.05
I will sing about my
Savior who upon dark Calvary
00:23:37.08\00:23:43.04
Freely pardoned
my transgressions,
00:23:43.07\00:23:45.76
died to set a sinner free
00:23:45.79\00:23:49.12
Chorus: Holy, holy
is what the angels sing
00:23:49.15\00:23:55.53
And I expect to help them
make the courts of heaven ring
00:23:55.56\00:24:01.73
But when I sing
redemption story,
00:24:01.76\00:24:05.04
they will fold their wings
00:24:05.07\00:24:08.10
For angels never felt the
joy that our salvation brings
00:24:08.13\00:24:15.76
There's a land beyond the river
00:24:46.41\00:24:50.56
That they call the sweet forever
00:24:50.59\00:24:55.03
There's a mansion
00:24:55.06\00:24:57.03
being built in the sky
00:24:57.06\00:25:04.50
There's a Savior who is waiting
00:25:04.53\00:25:10.77
To take His children home
00:25:10.80\00:25:16.82
And that's where I'm going
00:25:16.85\00:25:20.87
by and by
00:25:20.90\00:25:24.83
I'm going home to
that land beyond the river
00:25:31.22\00:25:36.11
Going home to
that mansion in the sky
00:25:36.14\00:25:41.45
I'm going home to be
with the Lord forever
00:25:41.48\00:25:46.43
Going home hallelujah, by and by
00:25:46.46\00:25:51.00
There's a river clear as crystal
flowing out from heaven's throne
00:25:51.03\00:25:55.66
There's a tree of
life so we will never die
00:25:55.69\00:26:00.37
There's a city with foundation,
its streets are made of gold
00:26:00.40\00:26:05.24
And that's where
I'm going by and by
00:26:05.27\00:26:09.21
I'm going home I'm going home
to that land beyond the river
00:26:09.24\00:26:14.27
Going home Going home
to that mansion in the sky
00:26:14.30\00:26:19.70
I'm going home I'm going
home to be with the Lord forever
00:26:19.73\00:26:24.47
Going home hallelujah, by and by
00:26:24.50\00:26:29.31
When the Savior comes in glory
we will meet him in the air
00:27:05.42\00:27:09.85
We will travel with
him to our home on high
00:27:09.88\00:27:14.34
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:27:14.37\00:27:16.94
I hope to meet you there 'Cause
that's where I'm going by and by
00:27:16.97\00:27:23.25
I'm going home I'm going home
to that land beyond the river
00:27:23.28\00:27:28.11
Going home Going home
to that mansion in the sky
00:27:28.14\00:27:33.99
I'm going home I'm going
home to be with the Lord forever
00:27:34.02\00:27:38.40
Going home,
hallelujah, by and by
00:27:38.43\00:27:42.79
Going home,
hallelujah, by and by
00:27:42.83\00:27:46.91
I'm going home,
hallelujah, by and by
00:27:46.94\00:27:53.98
If He carried the
weight of the world
00:30:48.53\00:30:54.77
upon His shoulders
00:30:54.80\00:31:01.30
I know my brother
00:31:01.33\00:31:03.60
that He will carry you
00:31:03.63\00:31:11.19
If He carried the
weight of the world
00:31:11.22\00:31:16.97
upon His shoulders
00:31:17.00\00:31:23.64
I know my sister
00:31:23.67\00:31:25.73
that He will carry you
00:31:25.76\00:31:33.21
He said, "Come unto me
00:31:33.24\00:31:40.04
all who are weary
00:31:40.07\00:31:45.01
And I will
00:31:45.04\00:31:48.47
give you rest"
00:31:48.50\00:31:55.13
If He carried the
weight of the world
00:31:55.16\00:32:01.07
upon His shoulders
00:32:01.10\00:32:07.44
I know my brother
00:32:07.47\00:32:09.67
that He will carry you
00:32:09.70\00:32:17.09
If He carried the
weight of the world upon
00:32:17.12\00:32:23.86
His shoulders
00:32:23.89\00:32:29.61
I know my sister
00:32:29.64\00:32:31.82

that He will
carry you Hallelujah.
00:32:53.66\00:32:58.44
Have you been to Jesus
for the cleansing power?
00:33:20.28\00:33:24.65
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:33:24.68\00:33:28.37
Are you fully trusting
in His grace this hour?
00:33:28.40\00:33:32.87
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:33:32.90\00:33:36.79
Are you washed in the blood
00:33:36.82\00:33:41.56
In the soul-cleansing
blood of the Lamb?
00:33:41.59\00:33:45.38
Are your garments spotless,
are they white as snow?
00:33:45.41\00:33:50.06
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:33:50.09\00:33:54.16
Are you walking
daily by the Savior's side?
00:33:54.19\00:33:58.71
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:33:58.74\00:34:02.72
Do you rest each
moment in the Crucified?
00:34:02.75\00:34:06.74
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:34:06.77\00:34:11.05
Are you washed in the blood
00:34:11.08\00:34:15.80
In the soul-cleansing
blood of the Lamb?
00:34:15.83\00:34:19.99
Are your garments spotless,
are they white as snow?
00:34:20.02\00:34:24.35
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:34:24.38\00:34:28.76
Lay aside the garments
that are stained with sin
00:35:01.75\00:35:06.22
And be washed in
the blood of the Lamb
00:35:06.25\00:35:10.12
There's a fountain
flowing for the soul unclean
00:35:10.15\00:35:14.70
Oh, be washed in
the Blood of the Lamb
00:35:14.73\00:35:18.58
Are you washed in the blood
00:35:18.61\00:35:23.51
In the soul-cleansing
blood of the Lamb?
00:35:23.54\00:35:27.70
Are your garments spotless,
are they white as snow?
00:35:27.73\00:35:32.23
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:35:32.26\00:35:36.22
Are you washed in the blood
00:35:36.25\00:35:40.79
In the soul-cleansing
blood of the Lamb?
00:35:40.82\00:35:44.88
Are your garments spotless,
are they white as snow?
00:35:44.91\00:35:49.20
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
00:35:49.23\00:35:53.41
I want to take you back to
before the turn of the century.
00:36:09.47\00:36:13.59
A woman by the
name of Mrs. Frances
00:36:13.62\00:36:15.62
Van Arsdale, is that right?
00:36:15.65\00:36:17.08
Elshammer. Elshammer?
00:36:17.11\00:36:19.08
What? Alstyne.
00:36:19.11\00:36:20.48
Alstyne-- Frances
Van Alstyne, yeah.
00:36:20.51\00:36:23.77
Well, I never
can remember her name
00:36:23.80\00:36:25.42
because we know her
better by Fanny Crosby.
00:36:25.45\00:36:28.33
When she wrote this song
that we're about to sing,
00:36:28.36\00:36:30.25
she visited a
prison in New York.
00:36:30.28\00:36:34.51
And she was talking
to the prisoners there.
00:36:34.54\00:36:36.83
As you probably
remember she was blind
00:36:36.86\00:36:39.21
and had been
blind almost from birth.
00:36:39.24\00:36:41.83
When she was six or eight
weeks old she lost her sight.
00:36:41.86\00:36:45.34
So for all practical purposes,
she was blind all of her life.
00:36:45.37\00:36:49.29
But while she was
talking to these prisoners
00:36:49.32\00:36:52.17
there in New York,
which she liked to do,
00:36:52.20\00:36:54.04
to go and witness for her faith,
one of them just interrupted
00:36:54.07\00:36:57.15
her and shouted out and said "O
Lord, Jesus, don't pass me by."
00:36:57.18\00:37:01.27
And that reminded her
of that story in the Bible
00:37:01.30\00:37:04.49
when the blind man asked
Jesus not to pass him by.
00:37:04.52\00:37:08.25
That was
inspiration for this song
00:37:08.28\00:37:10.53
that we're about to
sing which I think you know.
00:37:10.56\00:37:13.82
And feel free again to
sing along with us if you like.
00:37:13.85\00:37:16.36
"Pass me not, O gentle Savior."
00:37:16.39\00:37:18.56
Pass me not,
00:38:34.18\00:38:37.59
O gentle Savior
00:38:37.62\00:38:43.30
Hear my
00:38:43.33\00:38:46.04
humble cry
00:38:46.07\00:38:52.25
While on others
00:38:52.28\00:38:55.71
Thou art calling
00:38:55.74\00:38:57.11
Do not
00:39:01.04\00:39:03.75
pass me by
00:39:03.78\00:39:10.19
Savior, Savior
00:39:10.22\00:39:17.74
Hear my
00:39:18.77\00:39:21.10
humble cry
00:39:21.13\00:39:27.58
While on others
00:39:27.61\00:39:31.05
Thou art calling
00:39:31.08\00:39:36.62
Do not
00:39:36.65\00:39:38.77
pass me by
00:39:38.80\00:39:45.42
Thou the spring
00:39:45.45\00:39:48.63
of all my comfort
00:39:48.66\00:39:54.16
More than
00:39:54.19\00:39:56.61
life to me
00:39:56.64\00:40:02.83
Whom have I on earth
00:40:02.86\00:40:07.14
beside Thee?
00:40:07.17\00:40:11.94
Whom in Heaven
00:40:11.97\00:40:15.39
but Thee?
00:40:15.42\00:40:20.59
Savior, Savior
00:40:20.62\00:40:26.55
Hear my humble cry
00:40:29.13\00:40:35.31
While on others
00:40:37.78\00:40:40.95
Thou art calling
00:40:40.98\00:40:46.50
Do not pass me by
00:40:46.53\00:40:53.17
There's a church in
the valley by the wildwood
00:41:33.30\00:41:37.90
No lovelier spot in the dale
00:41:37.93\00:41:42.22
No place is so
dear to my childhood
00:41:42.25\00:41:46.77
As the little
brown church in the vale
00:41:46.80\00:41:51.17
Oh, come, come, come,
come, come to the church
00:41:51.20\00:41:55.54
in the wildwood Oh, come
to the church in the dale
00:41:55.57\00:42:02.25
No spot is so
dear to my childhood
00:42:02.28\00:42:06.74
As the little
brown church in the vale
00:42:06.77\00:42:11.03
How sweet on a
clear Sabbath morning
00:42:11.06\00:42:15.31
To list to the
clear ringing bell
00:42:15.34\00:42:19.90
Its tones so sweetly are calling
00:42:19.94\00:42:24.36
Oh, come to the
church in the dale
00:42:24.39\00:42:28.73
Oh, come, come, come, come, come
to the church in the wildwood
00:42:28.76\00:42:35.47
Oh, come to the
church in the dale
00:42:35.50\00:42:39.82
No spot is so
dear to my childhood
00:42:39.85\00:42:44.34
As the little
brown church in the vale
00:42:44.37\00:42:48.74
From the church in
the valley by the wildwood
00:43:23.00\00:43:27.31
When day fades away into night
00:43:27.34\00:43:31.85
I would faint from
this part of my childhood
00:43:31.88\00:43:37.07
Wing my way to
the mansions of light
00:43:37.10\00:43:40.67
Oh, come, come, come, come, come
to the church in the wildwood
00:43:40.70\00:43:47.50
Oh, come to the
church in the dale
00:43:47.53\00:43:51.93
No spot is so
dear to my childhood
00:43:51.96\00:43:56.59
As the little
brown church in the vale
00:43:56.62\00:44:01.38
Come to the
church in the wildwood
00:44:01.41\00:44:05.69
Come to the church in the dale
00:44:05.72\00:44:09.75
No spot is so
dear to my childhood
00:44:09.78\00:44:14.31
As the little
brown church in the vale
00:44:14.34\00:44:18.98
Well, that's just a neat old
song, I really like that one.
00:44:40.44\00:44:44.68
We're kind of a self appointed
"The Preservationist group."
00:44:44.71\00:44:48.85
I think four of
these guys had fathers
00:44:48.88\00:44:52.20
that all played the
same instruments in groups
00:44:52.23\00:44:55.48
back in the, I
don't know, '30s and '40s
00:44:55.51\00:44:57.70
and maybe earlier than that.
00:44:57.73\00:44:59.10
I don't know how
far back they come from
00:44:59.13\00:45:00.81
but unfortunately they have
all passed on to their rest now.
00:45:00.84\00:45:05.78
And we look forward to the
day when Jesus resurrects them
00:45:05.81\00:45:08.30
and we get to play
again with them in heaven.
00:45:08.33\00:45:11.34
That's something we
really look forward to.
00:45:11.37\00:45:14.24
One of the things
that, it's easy to forget
00:45:14.27\00:45:17.54
about in this life,
though sometimes, is the fact
00:45:17.57\00:45:19.93
that all that we work and
strive for is just momentary.
00:45:19.96\00:45:24.21
Not a bit of it that can go
with us into the pearly gates
00:45:24.24\00:45:28.04
except the
character that we've developed
00:45:28.07\00:45:29.94
with Jesus working in our lives.
00:45:29.97\00:45:33.89
There's a story
told about an old fella
00:45:33.92\00:45:35.89
who could see his
time was about at hand.
00:45:35.92\00:45:38.70
And he was just a
little reluctant to leave
00:45:38.73\00:45:40.79
some of his
gold and such behind.
00:45:40.82\00:45:43.31
So he gave his wife instructions
to take a goodly amount
00:45:43.34\00:45:47.64
of his treasure and put it
in a couple of pillow cases
00:45:47.67\00:45:51.59
and store it up in the attic.
00:45:51.62\00:45:53.07
So that when his time came, he
could pick it up on his way out.
00:45:53.10\00:45:57.26
Well, his wife being
obedient she went ahead
00:45:57.29\00:46:01.34
and put the money into the bags.
00:46:01.37\00:46:04.03
But being a little
better judge of character,
00:46:04.06\00:46:06.81
she stored those
bags in the basement.
00:46:06.84\00:46:10.35
Okay, this next song
00:46:10.38\00:46:13.01
is one that
Steve here on the bass
00:46:13.04\00:46:15.52
wrote and it is titled
"You can't take it with you."
00:46:15.55\00:46:18.70
And that's what
we're gonna sing about now.
00:46:18.73\00:46:21.41
A farmer lived in Bible
times who had a wealth of fields
00:46:26.47\00:46:31.03
That year was tops with bumper
crops and most impressive yields
00:46:31.06\00:46:36.03
But this old gent was not
content to keep the golden rule
00:46:36.06\00:46:40.77
His soul required
that night expired
00:46:40.80\00:46:43.30
And now he's called a fool
00:46:43.33\00:46:45.88
You can't take it with you
when you tell this world goodbye
00:46:45.91\00:46:50.63
No, you can't take it with
you so you don't need to try
00:46:50.66\00:46:55.38
Don't waste your
means on foolish things
00:46:55.41\00:46:57.69
and stuff you can't afford
00:46:57.72\00:47:00.58
You can't take it with
you so use it for the Lord
00:47:00.61\00:47:06.13
A rich man with the
question came to see the Lord
00:47:11.12\00:47:15.82
I've been real good
and I've done what I should
00:47:15.85\00:47:18.35
But I think there's something
more Jesus told that rich man,
00:47:18.38\00:47:23.42
"If you would be free
00:47:23.45\00:47:25.63
Just love enough to sell your
stuff and come and follow Me"
00:47:25.66\00:47:30.42
You can't take it with you
when you tell this world goodbye
00:47:30.45\00:47:35.02
No, you can't take it with
you so you don't need to try.
00:47:35.06\00:47:40.21
Don't waste your
means on foolish things
00:47:40.24\00:47:42.32
And stuff you can't afford
00:47:42.35\00:47:44.80
You can't take it with
you So use it for the Lord
00:47:44.83\00:47:50.30
You can't take it with
you tell this world goodbye
00:48:13.75\00:48:18.09
No, you can't take it with
you so you don't need to try
00:48:18.12\00:48:23.02
Don't waste your
means on foolish things
00:48:23.05\00:48:25.45
And stuff you can't afford
00:48:25.48\00:48:27.78
You can't take it with
you So use it for the Lord
00:48:27.81\00:48:32.52
You can't take it with you
when you tell this world goodbye
00:48:32.55\00:48:37.00
No, you can't take it with
you so you don't need to try.
00:48:37.03\00:48:41.68
Don't waste your
means on foolish things
00:48:41.71\00:48:44.16
And stuff you can't afford
You can't take it with you
00:48:44.19\00:48:48.81
So use it for the Lord
You can't take it with you
00:48:48.84\00:48:53.42
So use it for
the Lord Thank you.
00:48:53.45\00:48:59.48
1895, we're gonna back to now.
00:49:09.07\00:49:12.45
The man's name was James Black.
00:49:12.48\00:49:14.19
He was a Sunday school
teacher and also a musician,
00:49:14.22\00:49:16.90
at least, an amateur one.
00:49:16.93\00:49:19.66
He taught a
class of young people.
00:49:19.69\00:49:21.76
And every week when they came
00:49:21.79\00:49:23.94
he would call the roll by asking
them to recite a Bible verse
00:49:23.97\00:49:28.26
that they had
memorized during the week.
00:49:28.29\00:49:30.99
One week when he called
the roll, a particular student,
00:49:31.02\00:49:34.05
a young lady, that he
had been taking special pains
00:49:34.08\00:49:38.37
to try to help, wasn't there.
00:49:38.40\00:49:40.64
I suppose he took
an interest in her
00:49:40.67\00:49:42.44
because her father
was the town drunk.
00:49:42.47\00:49:45.14
And he was hoping that through
her he could reach the father.
00:49:45.17\00:49:49.29
I've to tell you I don't
know how that story turned out.
00:49:49.32\00:49:52.62
But I do know this, James
Black, because of thinking about
00:49:52.65\00:49:57.15
what would happen if when
the roll was called in heaven
00:49:57.18\00:50:00.54
he wasn't there,
wrote this next song,
00:50:00.57\00:50:03.28
"When the roll is
called up yonder."
00:50:03.31\00:50:04.80
When the trumpet of the Lord
00:50:10.24\00:50:12.27
shall sound and
time shall be no more
00:50:12.30\00:50:14.86
And the morning breaks,
eternal, bright, and fair
00:50:14.89\00:50:19.51
When the saints of earth shall
gather over on the other shore
00:50:19.54\00:50:24.04
And the roll is called
up yonder, I'll be there
00:50:24.07\00:50:28.58
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:50:28.61\00:50:33.15
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:50:33.18\00:50:37.76
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:50:37.79\00:50:42.35
When the roll is called
up yonder, I'll be there
00:50:42.38\00:50:46.78
On that bright
and cloudless morning
00:50:46.81\00:50:49.12
when the dead in
Christ shall rise
00:50:49.15\00:50:51.55
And the glory of
His resurrection share
00:50:51.58\00:50:55.95
When His chosen
ones shall gather
00:50:55.98\00:50:58.16
to their home beyond the skies
00:50:58.19\00:51:00.56
And the roll is called
up yonder, I'll be there
00:51:00.59\00:51:05.05
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:51:05.08\00:51:09.54
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:51:09.57\00:51:14.31
When the roll is
called up yonder,
00:51:14.34\00:51:19.08
When the roll is called
up yonder, I'll be there
00:51:19.11\00:51:23.80
Let us labor for the Master
from the dawn till setting sun
00:51:57.07\00:52:01.45
Let us talk of all
His wondrous love and care
00:52:01.48\00:52:05.80
Then when all of life is over,
and our work on earth is done
00:52:05.83\00:52:10.32
And the roll is called
up yonder, I'll be there
00:52:10.35\00:52:14.87
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:52:14.90\00:52:19.27
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:52:19.30\00:52:23.78
When the roll
is called up yonder
00:52:23.81\00:52:29.38
When the roll is
called up yonder I'll be there
00:52:29.41\00:52:36.34
For our final
number, this afternoon,
00:52:41.74\00:52:43.62
we're going to do one that's
a little more contemporary
00:52:43.65\00:52:46.29
but it's got just a message
we'd like to leave with you.
00:52:46.32\00:52:48.80
"What a day that's gonna be
when our Savior we finally see."
00:52:48.83\00:52:53.45
There is coming a day
00:53:03.25\00:53:07.98
when no heartaches shall come
00:53:08.01\00:53:12.44
No more clouds in the sky,
00:53:12.47\00:53:17.14
no more tears to dim the eye
00:53:17.17\00:53:22.04
All is peace forevermore
00:53:22.07\00:53:26.48
on that happy golden shore
00:53:26.51\00:53:31.21
What a day,
00:53:31.24\00:53:33.66
glorious day that will be
00:53:33.69\00:53:40.24
What a day that
will be when my Jesus
00:53:40.27\00:53:47.49
I shall see When
I look upon His face
00:53:47.52\00:53:54.07
The One who
saved me by His grace.
00:53:54.10\00:53:59.04
When He takes me by the hand
00:53:59.07\00:54:03.24
And leads me
through the Promised Land
00:54:03.27\00:54:08.15
What a day,
00:54:08.18\00:54:10.64
glorious day that will be
00:54:10.67\00:54:17.47
There'll be no dying there,
00:54:17.50\00:54:22.23
no more burdens to bear
00:54:22.26\00:54:26.89
No more sickness, no pain,
00:54:26.92\00:54:31.35
no more dying over there
00:54:31.38\00:54:35.71
And forever I will be
00:54:35.74\00:54:40.27
with the One who died for me
00:54:40.30\00:54:44.86
What a day,
glorious day that will be
00:54:44.89\00:54:50.90
What a day that will be
00:54:53.83\00:54:58.60
when my Jesus I shall see
00:54:58.63\00:55:03.33
When I look upon His face
00:55:03.36\00:55:07.57
The One who
saved me by His grace.
00:55:07.60\00:55:12.74
When He takes me by the hand
00:55:12.77\00:55:17.28
And leads me
through the Promised Land
00:55:17.31\00:55:22.07
What a day,
00:55:22.10\00:55:24.72
glorious day that will be
00:55:24.75\00:55:31.18
What a day,
00:55:31.72\00:55:33.97
glorious day that will be
00:55:34.00\00:55:38.03
Amen and amen again.
00:55:43.08\00:55:45.72
Before we--I'd like to
close with a word of prayer.
00:55:50.62\00:55:53.22
But before we do it I'd like
to just mention one more time
00:55:53.25\00:55:56.13
if you're interested in
us doing a worship service
00:55:56.16\00:55:59.61
in your church, just contact
one of us here afterwards
00:55:59.64\00:56:02.65
and we'd be happy to consider
putting it on our schedule.
00:56:02.68\00:56:05.84
Let's bow our
heads for a moment.
00:56:05.87\00:56:07.29
Our Father in Heaven,
we are so looking forward
00:56:07.32\00:56:10.81
to the day when You come.
00:56:10.84\00:56:12.56
When this earth is done,
00:56:12.59\00:56:15.52
then what a
refreshing time we'll have.
00:56:15.55\00:56:18.79
We look forward to it and
pray that it will come quickly.
00:56:18.82\00:56:20.27
And may we all
trust in Jesus to give us
00:56:20.30\00:56:24.40
entrance into that place.
00:56:24.43\00:56:25.80
In Jesus name, we pray.
00:56:25.83\00:56:27.20
