Welcome to a Give Me
The Bible production.
00:00:19.48\00:00:22.56
Have you ever
heard of a Brush Harbor
00:00:23.33\00:00:25.94
or singing on the
grounds. This is when
00:00:25.97\00:00:28.96
a group of church
members got together
00:00:28.99\00:00:31.73
and just spend sometime singing
00:00:31.76\00:00:34.90
and playing gospel
music. Well pull up
00:00:34.93\00:00:38.49
a chair, sit down,
and enjoy some singing,
00:00:38.52\00:00:42.36
some playing of
good gospel music.
00:00:42.39\00:00:46.22
One of the
favorites that comes to
00:00:46.25\00:00:48.80
our meetings and
sings for us is Joe Pearles.
00:00:48.83\00:00:52.26
Joe Pearles has sung
to audiences all across
00:00:52.29\00:00:57.18
this nation and has
been blessed in a very
00:00:57.21\00:00:59.74
special way with his
rich full baritone voice
00:00:59.77\00:01:04.40
and he is gonna sing for you
00:01:04.43\00:01:06.50
the song
entitled one more valley.
00:01:06.53\00:01:09.88
When I'm tossed on life's
sea and the waves cover me,
00:01:19.82\00:01:28.50
And the dark clouds
won't let the sunshine through,
00:01:28.53\00:01:36.60
Then a voice seems to say,
00:01:36.63\00:01:42.27
"Child,
there'll be a better day,
00:01:42.30\00:01:46.37
Don't allow the storm to
hide sweet Heaven's view.
00:01:46.40\00:01:54.91
'Cause we've got one
more valley, one more hill,
00:01:54.94\00:02:02.81
Maybe one more
trial, one more tear.
00:02:02.84\00:02:11.94
One more curve in life's road,
00:02:14.88\00:02:18.46
maybe one more mile to go,
00:02:18.49\00:02:22.59
Then we can lay down our
00:02:22.62\00:02:26.30
heavy load when we get home.
00:02:26.33\00:02:30.58
Don't let Satan see your tears,
00:02:41.58\00:02:45.96
learn to smile thru your fears
00:02:45.99\00:02:50.56
Hold your head up high
00:02:50.59\00:02:53.15
and give the world a smile.
00:02:53.18\00:02:58.86
You must be
faithful all the way,
00:02:58.89\00:03:04.25
it'll be worth it all some day,
00:03:04.28\00:03:08.15
'Cause it's all
gonna be over after while.
00:03:08.18\00:03:16.10
'Cause we've got one
more valley, one more hill,
00:03:16.13\00:03:24.00
Maybe one more
trial, one more tear.
00:03:24.03\00:03:33.37
One more curve in life's road,
00:03:35.87\00:03:40.10
maybe one more mile to go,
00:03:40.13\00:03:44.29
Then we can lay down our heavy
00:03:44.32\00:03:48.40
load when we get home.
00:03:48.43\00:03:51.68
Then we can lay
down our heavy load
00:03:51.71\00:03:57.64
when we get home.
00:03:57.67\00:04:01.03
Millions have listened
to the music of Dona Klein.
00:04:09.93\00:04:13.35
Dona has played for
evangelistic meetings
00:04:14.17\00:04:18.46
even since she
was 12 years of age.
00:04:18.49\00:04:21.21
She plays almost
exclusively in the black keys
00:04:21.24\00:04:26.46
and sometimes she
plays the organ and the
00:04:26.49\00:04:30.65
keyboard at the same
time and that gives her
00:04:30.68\00:04:34.15
music a rich and very
pleasant sounds listen to
00:04:34.18\00:04:39.39
and she is gonna play
for you a song that was
00:04:39.42\00:04:42.90
made popular by
Elvis Presley entitled
00:04:42.93\00:04:46.66
the man in the sky.
00:04:46.69\00:04:48.64
Dona and Joe are
going to bring to us
00:06:42.25\00:06:46.00
a song of great
assurance entitled He Chose Me.
00:06:46.03\00:06:50.68
There were so many others that
00:07:07.59\00:07:12.56
He might have
chosen, to follow Him
00:07:12.59\00:07:17.66
Others with learning
and greater distinction,
00:07:17.69\00:07:28.10
to follow Him Men with authority
00:07:28.13\00:07:36.76
and forceful ability
Who know how to speak
00:07:36.79\00:07:44.94
and be heard I
don't know exactly
00:07:44.97\00:07:53.53
why I'm here at all But
today, I'll follow my Lord
00:07:53.56\00:08:06.12
It was business
as usual for me when
00:08:06.15\00:08:14.09
Jesus said, follow me
00:08:14.12\00:08:18.42
I left all behind me
that day when Jesus said,
00:08:18.45\00:08:28.40
follow me I empted
myself of my old life
00:08:28.43\00:08:38.59
completely With
no thought that this
00:08:38.62\00:08:44.58
could be wrong And as long as I
00:08:44.61\00:08:52.70
follow the steps of my Master
00:08:52.73\00:08:57.89
I know I'm where I belong
00:08:57.92\00:09:05.19
He chose me, He chose me
00:09:07.11\00:09:22.19
I could not say no
when He said follow me
00:09:24.38\00:09:32.05
And I'll make you fishers of men
00:09:32.08\00:09:39.04
From now on, from now on
00:09:39.07\00:09:57.09
I will not look back
on the things left behind
00:09:57.12\00:10:07.21
He chose me to follow Him
00:10:07.24\00:10:15.33
I will not look back
on the things left behind
00:10:15.36\00:10:25.08
He chose me to follow Him.
00:10:25.11\00:10:37.56
I'm gonna invite Dona
and Joe to come over and join
00:10:41.09\00:10:45.43
me and visit just a moment here.
00:10:45.46\00:10:48.41
Both of you
have been on the road
00:10:48.44\00:10:52.11
for I should say years and
00:10:52.14\00:10:55.71
But, Dona is not longer than me.
00:10:55.74\00:10:56.99
Dona has been no lot longer.
00:10:57.02\00:10:58.56
I started a lot earlier too.
00:10:58.62\00:11:00.69
Well, it's always a
great, great blessing.
00:11:01.82\00:11:04.72
You know, the
scripture gives us the
00:11:04.75\00:11:06.95
assurance there
in Psalms 28 verse 7
00:11:06.98\00:11:10.85
it says, the Lord is
my strength and my shield.
00:11:10.88\00:11:14.78
My heart trusted
in him and I am helped
00:11:14.81\00:11:19.32
therefore my
heart greatly rejoices
00:11:19.35\00:11:22.06
and with my song
I will praise him
00:11:22.09\00:11:26.23
and that's what
Joe have been doing.
00:11:26.26\00:11:28.11
Amen. As you have
done it over the years,
00:11:28.14\00:11:30.32
I am sure you like
myself of seeing many
00:11:30.35\00:11:35.23
wonderful things
as God has blessed
00:11:35.26\00:11:39.91
in so many ways
has opened up the door
00:11:39.94\00:11:43.92
and given us so
many wonderful things
00:11:43.95\00:11:46.87
also as you do
that there is some hard
00:11:46.90\00:11:50.58
times that you face.
00:11:50.61\00:11:52.76
Plenty of those.
Remember that years ago,
00:11:52.79\00:11:57.01
I became very ill,
we were on the road,
00:11:57.04\00:11:59.48
and it's bad enough to be ill
00:11:59.51\00:12:01.27
when you are home let alone,
00:12:01.30\00:12:03.46
when you are on
the road, but anyway
00:12:03.49\00:12:06.55
I wrote a song during that time
00:12:06.58\00:12:09.27
not knowing if I
would ever be able to
00:12:09.30\00:12:11.11
praise the Lord
through my songs and
00:12:11.14\00:12:14.09
I wrote this song
entitled this time
00:12:14.12\00:12:17.46
and it talks about the
mountains that the Lord
00:12:17.49\00:12:21.22
gives us and one
part says there were times
00:12:21.25\00:12:26.31
I thought I would
lose my mind and but what I
00:12:26.34\00:12:30.08
didn't know was just
around the bands stood
00:12:30.11\00:12:33.26
the great, the greatest
hill that life could ever
00:12:33.29\00:12:35.77
seen and that my husband Gordon.
00:12:35.80\00:12:39.15
He is battling
brain cancer, I should say
00:12:39.18\00:12:42.41
the Lord he and I are
battling this hardness,
00:12:42.44\00:12:46.90
but through it all we
can see the Lords hand and
00:12:46.93\00:12:49.70
I want to sing the
song entitled this time.
00:12:49.73\00:12:53.39
This time, this is a song about
00:12:53.42\00:12:56.06
your experience right.
00:12:56.09\00:12:58.21
It is. Well,
well I am sure we will
00:12:58.24\00:13:00.59
enjoy it as you
sing for us this time.
00:13:00.62\00:13:03.46
There were the little hills
00:13:17.60\00:13:19.69
that seems so hard to climb,
00:13:19.72\00:13:23.63
There were even
times, I thought,
00:13:23.66\00:13:30.40
I'd loose my mind.
00:13:30.43\00:13:33.32
But I did'nt know
that just around have been,
00:13:33.35\00:13:41.57
Stood the greatest hill
that life could ever send.
00:13:41.60\00:13:52.55
And this time, You
gave me a mountain,
00:13:52.58\00:13:59.10
dear LORD, A mountain
00:13:59.13\00:14:03.83
I'm too weak to
climb. And this time,
00:14:03.86\00:14:12.65
I need You like never before,
00:14:12.68\00:14:19.24
Hold my hand, guide my feet,
00:14:19.27\00:14:24.13
Help me climb
this mountain steep.
00:14:24.16\00:14:30.28
Through the pouring rain,
00:14:43.99\00:14:46.33
the path I cannot see,
00:14:46.36\00:14:50.79
And the falling leaves
say winter's yet to be.
00:14:53.28\00:15:00.69
Yet in my heart, I
know, Your way is best for me,
00:15:00.72\00:15:09.77
For these very trials
have brought me to my knees.
00:15:09.80\00:15:19.73
And this time, You gave
me a mountain, dear LORD,
00:15:19.76\00:15:29.07
A mountain I'm
too weak to climb.
00:15:29.10\00:15:36.31
And this time, I need
You like never before,
00:15:36.34\00:15:46.30
Hold my hand, guide my feet,
00:15:46.33\00:15:50.87
Help me climb
this mountain steep.
00:15:50.90\00:15:57.63
And this time, You
gave me a mountain,
00:15:57.66\00:16:04.14
A mountain I'm
too weak to climb.
00:16:07.21\00:16:14.94
And this time, I need
You like never before,
00:16:14.97\00:16:23.71
Hold my hand, guide my feet,
00:16:23.74\00:16:28.37
Help me climb
this mountain steep.
00:16:28.40\00:16:35.90
And this time, I need
You like never before,
00:16:35.93\00:16:44.16
Hold my hand, guide my feet,
00:16:44.19\00:16:48.88
Help me climb
this mountain steep.
00:16:48.91\00:16:57.88
Dona thank you
that was beautiful,
00:17:03.60\00:17:07.25
I appreciate
that, can I don't know
00:17:07.28\00:17:11.14
if both of your
parents were Christians,
00:17:11.17\00:17:14.92
but I wanna sing a song now that
00:17:14.95\00:17:17.42
my dad, I never heard my dad
00:17:17.45\00:17:20.98
sing much. The only
time that I would hear him
00:17:21.01\00:17:23.57
sing is if he
was out in the barn
00:17:23.60\00:17:25.87
or working on a
car and didn't think
00:17:25.90\00:17:27.51
anybody was listening,
00:17:27.54\00:17:28.51
but he sang two
songs that were religious
00:17:29.43\00:17:33.06
songs and but he
did not like Christians,
00:17:33.09\00:17:36.35
but I heard him
sing two songs and one of
00:17:37.41\00:17:42.78
them was in the
garden and the other one
00:17:42.81\00:17:45.97
is a song I would
like to do for you now
00:17:46.00\00:17:47.57
and that's
entitled Beautiful Life.
00:17:47.60\00:17:51.60
Each day I'll do a golden deed
00:17:58.85\00:18:04.31
By helping
those who are in need;
00:18:04.34\00:18:11.55
My life on earth is but a span
00:18:11.58\00:18:16.74
And so I'll do the best I can.
00:18:16.77\00:18:23.83
Life's evening
sun is sinking low,
00:18:23.86\00:18:29.44
A few more days, and I must go
00:18:31.04\00:18:37.09
To meet the
deeds that I have done,
00:18:37.12\00:18:42.10
Where there will
be no setting sun.
00:18:42.13\00:18:48.46
While going down
life's weary road
00:18:55.53\00:19:00.97
I'll stop to lift
some traveler's load;
00:19:01.00\00:19:08.49
I'll try to turn my night to day
00:19:08.52\00:19:13.49
Make flowers
bloom along the way.
00:19:13.52\00:19:20.65
Life's evening
sun is sinking low,
00:19:20.68\00:19:28.02
A few more days, and I must go
00:19:28.05\00:19:33.98
To meet the
deeds that I have done,
00:19:34.01\00:19:39.20
Where there will
be no setting sun.
00:19:39.23\00:19:45.11
Joe your dad had
great taste in song that was
00:19:59.27\00:20:02.82
beautiful and
there was a song that I
00:20:03.33\00:20:05.89
have always enjoyed
very much it's entitled
00:20:05.92\00:20:08.91
the silver head daddy of mine
00:20:08.94\00:20:10.75
can you do that for us.
00:20:10.78\00:20:12.74
I'll try.
00:20:12.77\00:20:14.33
In a vine-covered
shack in the mountains
00:20:22.47\00:20:28.69
Bravely fighting
the battle of time
00:20:28.72\00:20:35.83
There's a dear one
who's battled life's sorrow
00:20:35.86\00:20:45.12
It's that silver
haired daddy of mine
00:20:45.15\00:20:53.14
If I could recall
all the heartaches
00:20:54.35\00:21:01.00
Dear old Daddy,
I've caused you to bear
00:21:01.03\00:21:08.53
If I could erase
those lines from your face
00:21:09.64\00:21:17.43
And bring back
the gold to your hair
00:21:17.46\00:21:25.29
If God would but
grant me the power
00:21:25.32\00:21:33.86
Just to turn
back the pages of time
00:21:33.89\00:21:40.30
I'd give all I own
if I could but atone
00:21:40.33\00:21:49.96
To that silver
haired daddy of mine.
00:21:49.99\00:21:57.83
I'd give all I own
if I could but atone
00:21:57.86\00:22:05.76
To that silver
haired daddy of mine.
00:22:05.79\00:22:16.03
Thank you Joe. Dona has a very
00:22:18.92\00:22:22.16
good friend by
the name of Ruby Jain
00:22:22.19\00:22:24.63
and the two of them together
00:22:24.66\00:22:26.95
wrote a song about our mothers
00:22:26.98\00:22:29.81
one that pretty much
expresses the feelings
00:22:29.84\00:22:33.28
of our hearts and
Dona is gonna sing
00:22:33.31\00:22:35.53
that for you it's
entitled Mothers Hands.
00:22:35.56\00:22:38.98
Although it's been so long ago
00:23:01.58\00:23:06.03
it's seems like yesterday
00:23:06.06\00:23:09.69
I hear her
voice, I feel her touch,
00:23:09.72\00:23:15.28
I see her loving face
00:23:15.31\00:23:19.27
How sweet the
memories of those years
00:23:19.30\00:23:23.62
of mothers tender care
00:23:23.65\00:23:26.92
And her hands were
always there for me
00:23:26.95\00:23:35.06
Yes mothers hands
were always there for me
00:23:36.40\00:23:43.99
Those dear hands
would toil the soil,
00:23:45.07\00:23:49.68
those dear hands were tired one
00:23:49.71\00:23:52.76
But she held oh,
so tight through the
00:23:52.79\00:23:59.20
long and lonely night
00:23:59.23\00:24:03.16
Mothers hands were
always there for me
00:24:03.19\00:24:10.44
Her hands would
heal my little hearts
00:24:10.47\00:24:16.12
My face she would
cares, she would call my fears
00:24:16.15\00:24:23.25
She dried my tears
and hold me to her breast
00:24:23.28\00:24:29.04
Those dear sweet
hands are now addressed
00:24:29.07\00:24:34.19
She gave the very
best and her hands
00:24:34.22\00:24:40.34
were always there for me
00:24:40.37\00:24:45.63
Yes mothers hands
were always there for me
00:24:45.66\00:24:54.45
Those dear hands
would toil the soil,
00:24:54.48\00:24:59.49
those dear hands were tired one
00:24:59.52\00:25:03.78
But she held oh,
so tight through the
00:25:03.81\00:25:09.55
long and lonely night
00:25:09.58\00:25:13.52
Mothers hands were
always there for me
00:25:14.07\00:25:21.59
And someday in the
promise land once again
00:25:21.62\00:25:27.96
I'll hold her hand
00:25:27.99\00:25:31.44
Mothers hands were
always there for me.
00:25:33.68\00:25:40.73
My mothers hands
were always there for me.
00:25:40.76\00:25:50.86
Thank you Dona. It's nice.
00:26:05.17\00:26:07.94
Joe have you ever
you know been in a place
00:26:09.14\00:26:13.83
doing a concert or
something and forgot
00:26:13.86\00:26:16.23
the words that
you were gonna sing.
00:26:16.26\00:26:17.74
Yeah today, you know, I have
00:26:17.77\00:26:22.37
and I'm not sure
if I am the only one,
00:26:22.40\00:26:25.03
but one of the worst the worst
00:26:25.06\00:26:27.64
is been several
years ago. I was out in
00:26:27.67\00:26:31.74
Oregon and I was
asked to do a song
00:26:31.77\00:26:35.00
at the end of the
sermon. Now you don't
00:26:35.03\00:26:37.61
wanna mess up
there, as they have got
00:26:37.64\00:26:39.82
everything
brought down to a final
00:26:39.85\00:26:41.75
and so my music
started I got up there
00:26:41.78\00:26:45.64
and I am thinking okay I don't
00:26:45.67\00:26:50.13
remember the
words, so it was time
00:26:50.16\00:26:53.10
for me to start
singing and I made up
00:26:53.13\00:26:55.11
that whole first
verse. I have no idea what
00:26:55.14\00:26:58.61
I said, but the
words rhymed, so I thought
00:26:58.64\00:27:01.94
well when I get to
the second verse I'll
00:27:01.97\00:27:04.32
have that one down,
the second verse came and
00:27:04.35\00:27:07.05
I don't remember it
either. I sang that whole
00:27:07.08\00:27:11.20
song and made it
up and I am scared
00:27:11.23\00:27:14.79
because I know the
pastor is going to tear me up,
00:27:14.82\00:27:17.67
so I just kind of
snug out or whatever
00:27:19.47\00:27:22.99
and sat down in the
front row waiting for
00:27:23.02\00:27:24.72
the church to be out
and everybody could go
00:27:24.75\00:27:26.48
and I thought well
I better go back and
00:27:26.51\00:27:29.16
apologize to him,
and I start to walk out
00:27:29.19\00:27:32.59
and here he comes
right at me and I thought
00:27:32.62\00:27:37.29
oh my, so before he
could open his mouth
00:27:37.32\00:27:40.86
I said Lee this is
pastor Lee Larson out in,
00:27:40.89\00:27:44.80
out in the Oregon and
I said Lee I am so sorry,
00:27:44.83\00:27:48.28
he said, what for what, I said
00:27:48.31\00:27:51.38
now I am not telling
this story because I am
00:27:51.41\00:27:53.63
bragging that I made
up the song no I didn't,
00:27:53.66\00:27:57.42
but what God can
do and he said well I
00:27:57.45\00:28:01.44
didn't know that he
said I thought those were
00:28:01.47\00:28:04.53
just words that I
never heard before and I was
00:28:04.56\00:28:06.85
coming down to
get them from you,
00:28:06.88\00:28:08.85
so that was one
of the worst times,
00:28:08.88\00:28:12.40
but I mean it happens a lot.
00:28:12.43\00:28:14.08
That was the work of
the Holy Spirit, wasn't it.
00:28:14.11\00:28:16.41
Well, absolutely
because I can't, I can't
00:28:16.44\00:28:19.06
even write two
sentences that make sentence.
00:28:19.09\00:28:22.07
Well, I need to
tell you about Maddy that
00:28:22.10\00:28:24.23
kind of goes Maddy our wonderful
00:28:24.26\00:28:25.98
little singer Maddy
Kuperous, whose health
00:28:26.01\00:28:29.16
doesn't permit her to
travel with us anymore,
00:28:29.19\00:28:31.19
but do you
remember over the night that
00:28:31.22\00:28:33.12
maybe you don't
that you had a call
00:28:33.15\00:28:35.77
and there were
two songs that kind a
00:28:35.80\00:28:39.99
sound alike, but they
are in opposite ends of the
00:28:40.02\00:28:41.90
keyboards as far as keys and so
00:28:41.93\00:28:44.25
I put it in the key
to sing Lord Jesus, I
00:28:44.28\00:28:48.65
long to be perfectly
whole. Maddy starts out
00:28:48.68\00:28:52.40
with look upon
Jesus and it's a totally
00:28:52.43\00:28:57.80
different key, much
higher, and she sings low,
00:28:57.83\00:29:00.91
anyway she got through
it, she has got marvelous
00:29:00.94\00:29:03.74
range, but well
Ken was then giving his
00:29:03.77\00:29:07.75
the rest of his little
talk on altar call way,
00:29:07.78\00:29:11.11
she is standing by
the org and then she said
00:29:11.14\00:29:13.83
turn to me she said,
wrong key and I turned to her
00:29:13.86\00:29:18.54
and said wrong
song. So anyway we turned,
00:29:18.57\00:29:23.72
we changed keys and
she then did the other song
00:29:23.75\00:29:26.17
when you came
back to her. I don't
00:29:26.20\00:29:27.93
remember that, but I
do remember being in the
00:29:27.96\00:29:31.51
meeting and I was
speaking and I was coming down
00:29:31.54\00:29:36.14
at the end of the
sermon and about to make
00:29:36.17\00:29:40.26
an appeal and I
could remember that justice
00:29:40.29\00:29:44.97
May I step in here
please, Justice I was
00:29:45.00\00:29:48.19
make, please let me don't
say it, don't say it that's
00:29:48.22\00:29:49.73
best part. I did you
know I have always said
00:29:49.76\00:29:53.25
you know what they say
about to be old and wise
00:29:53.28\00:29:57.56
you must first
be young and stupid,
00:29:57.59\00:29:59.78
so anyway I am a
hairdresser and my brother was
00:29:59.81\00:30:03.68
doing the
singing is that the time
00:30:03.71\00:30:05.43
you are talking
about. Yes, that's the time
00:30:05.46\00:30:06.64
I'm talking about.
Okay, let me tell this
00:30:06.67\00:30:07.64
really quickly and
I knew I could give
00:30:07.65\00:30:10.44
this for my, I
had a shop and I was
00:30:10.47\00:30:12.56
used to doing steps so
quickly and so when we got
00:30:12.59\00:30:15.33
to this meeting, I
decided very bad idea
00:30:15.36\00:30:19.39
that I would do this
perm on him that's when men
00:30:19.42\00:30:22.25
were having perms
remember back in the 80's
00:30:22.28\00:30:24.51
or 70's, so I was back
there given his perm and
00:30:24.54\00:30:27.15
I had a timed out I
thought and then I heard
00:30:27.18\00:30:31.61
Ken making his
call, he was coming
00:30:31.64\00:30:34.01
down to the end
of the sermon and
00:30:34.04\00:30:35.73
I am, and Jerry is
supposed to sing the appeal song
00:30:36.17\00:30:38.56
my brother Jerry and he is up in
00:30:38.59\00:30:41.09
perm rods and
probably looked good to
00:30:41.12\00:30:43.31
come out, so I began
to pray. I said Lord,
00:30:43.34\00:30:47.39
I am so foolish
forgive me help me out of this,
00:30:47.42\00:30:50.95
do you know what
he did, dear Lord
00:30:50.98\00:30:54.37
he shed of electricity and Ken
00:30:54.40\00:30:58.93
had 21
projectors at that time and
00:30:58.96\00:31:02.01
everyone of them
recycled, and by the time
00:31:02.04\00:31:04.55
they all recycled I
had his perm out, he
00:31:04.58\00:31:09.30
was up there
saying it took me about
00:31:09.33\00:31:10.81
three years to tell him what
00:31:10.84\00:31:12.28
really happened that night.
00:31:12.31\00:31:13.65
So you know lot of
exciting things happen
00:31:15.00\00:31:17.93
of course Dona
just got through singing
00:31:17.96\00:31:20.81
when she was young
and foolish you know.
00:31:20.84\00:31:23.84
Yeah. And I think I
remember something about
00:31:23.87\00:31:26.65
her buying a car.
That is, that is priceless.
00:31:26.68\00:31:32.67
Yes, Dona, do you
want us to tell it
00:31:32.70\00:31:36.22
or do you want to
tell it. Dona who?
00:31:36.25\00:31:38.16
The only problem
is when Dona talks,
00:31:38.19\00:31:39.97
she'll go on
forever. Okay, I'm going to
00:31:40.00\00:31:42.15
interject here. I think
I can tell that nicer then
00:31:42.18\00:31:44.98
you can, oh yes another stupid,
00:31:45.01\00:31:46.99
why are we, why
is this my thought.
00:31:47.02\00:31:49.22
Dona, please tell it,
it is true. This is true.
00:31:49.25\00:31:51.38
I had bought this cute
little car you know the
00:31:51.41\00:31:54.98
guy just brought, the
price just kept coming
00:31:55.01\00:31:57.05
down and I
prayed about it, it was
00:31:57.08\00:31:58.70
little Porsche red
and so he called I said
00:31:58.73\00:32:02.85
if you come down on
this price I will take
00:32:02.88\00:32:04.52
it and so the days went
by and I didn't hear from
00:32:04.55\00:32:07.61
finally anyway, the
point being is that I bought
00:32:07.64\00:32:09.84
the car. Well,
Gordon had to go to work
00:32:09.87\00:32:13.53
and I wanted to have that car.
00:32:13.56\00:32:15.03
Foolish, so I drove the
10 miles to pick up that
00:32:15.64\00:32:20.92
car. Problem is, I
had another car with me
00:32:20.95\00:32:25.60
and I drove, so I
thought well I can drive
00:32:25.63\00:32:28.75
one car a mile and
come back and get the other,
00:32:28.78\00:32:32.26
so I did that. It took me
almost all day to get home,
00:32:32.29\00:32:36.21
but the funny
part was I kept meeting
00:32:36.24\00:32:38.38
people coming the way
that I and I kept just
00:32:38.41\00:32:41.72
beat them and because you drive.
00:32:41.75\00:32:45.91
I drive ahead of
them and then come
00:32:45.94\00:32:48.57
back and get the
other car. And walk back
00:32:48.60\00:32:49.57
to get the other car,
yeah and get the other car,
00:32:49.58\00:32:50.83
drive it back.
That really is foolish.
00:32:50.86\00:32:52.70
But I got my car
home. One of the things
00:32:54.16\00:32:57.16
that I run into
quite often is people
00:32:57.19\00:33:00.47
come up and talk to
me and it's a mistaken
00:33:00.50\00:33:03.57
identity they think
I'm somebody that I'm not.
00:33:03.60\00:33:07.26
Are you asking
me? Have you ever had
00:33:07.29\00:33:11.09
that happened? I have,
this is another true story.
00:33:11.12\00:33:13.84
Ken, Dona, Gordon,
Maddy, we were all doing
00:33:13.87\00:33:18.73
some series in
Sacramento, California
00:33:18.76\00:33:22.01
and we went down to a
buffet to grab a bite to eat
00:33:22.04\00:33:26.13
and as I was getting
ready to sit down this man
00:33:27.93\00:33:30.97
came up to me and
he said I know you,
00:33:31.00\00:33:34.81
you are my favorite
singer. He said I have
00:33:34.84\00:33:38.50
all your songs and I just
play them over and over and
00:33:38.53\00:33:41.19
I just love them and
I am thinking oh, this
00:33:41.22\00:33:43.67
is alright.These
guys were hearing this
00:33:43.70\00:33:46.92
and I had been
with them very long
00:33:46.95\00:33:49.68
and I am just
enjoying this a lot, so finally
00:33:49.71\00:33:52.92
he left and pretty soon
here he comes back again.
00:33:52.95\00:33:57.20
He said what I just
wanted to tell you that my
00:33:57.23\00:33:59.65
wife wanted me to
come over here because
00:33:59.68\00:34:02.33
she was too
embarrassed. She wanted me to
00:34:02.36\00:34:04.38
come over here
and tell you that you
00:34:04.41\00:34:05.96
are her favorite
singer also and she plays
00:34:05.99\00:34:10.49
your music all the
time and she has got
00:34:10.52\00:34:12.35
everyone of them in
her car and she plays them
00:34:12.38\00:34:14.61
over and over and
over and on and on and on
00:34:14.64\00:34:16.51
finally he said, you
are Roy Drusky, aren't you,
00:34:16.54\00:34:20.18
my bubble just
broke. Lord has way
00:34:20.21\00:34:24.69
of taking care of
things, he does, does, yeah.
00:34:24.72\00:34:26.38
You know, I had a man
come up to me one time
00:34:26.41\00:34:30.00
and he just thank me
for my music and for the
00:34:30.03\00:34:32.61
songs that I had
written and I said what you know
00:34:32.64\00:34:35.72
that this is the
Lords doing, it's not me
00:34:35.75\00:34:39.54
because do I look
intelligent enough to do
00:34:39.57\00:34:41.99
this and he looked real
close at me and he said.
00:34:42.02\00:34:44.42
Aha! Aha! He was an honest man.
00:34:44.45\00:34:46.31
He was very
honest. Well, we have
00:34:46.34\00:34:49.63
a lot of wonderful
interesting experiences
00:34:49.66\00:34:53.11
in what we do and
the Lord blesses in so
00:34:53.14\00:34:57.48
many ways and
gives us so much we are
00:34:57.51\00:35:00.27
so thankful for
that and it's really so
00:35:00.30\00:35:06.83
important in what we
do to keep our rhythms
00:35:06.86\00:35:13.18
in his hands and
Dona is gonna sing for
00:35:13.21\00:35:16.61
us a wonderful song
one that you will enjoy
00:35:16.64\00:35:20.00
immensely entitled
"In His Hands." Can I say
00:35:20.03\00:35:23.81
before you did that
wonderful introduction.
00:35:23.84\00:35:26.49
We had a flat tire in
our motor home one time
00:35:26.52\00:35:29.86
just show you
the Lords protection
00:35:29.89\00:35:32.87
and had it not been
for the lord we would roll
00:35:32.90\00:35:36.28
that, we would have
been gone and didn't gone,
00:35:36.31\00:35:37.84
but we Gordy wrestled
it off to the right side
00:35:37.87\00:35:41.80
of the road and
I got to give him a
00:35:41.83\00:35:44.94
haircut on the side of the road.
00:35:44.97\00:35:46.04
Anyway a
motorcycle policeman came up
00:35:46.07\00:35:49.72
behind us and while
they were waiting for the
00:35:49.75\00:35:52.56
tow truck to come he
began, when he found Gordon
00:35:52.59\00:35:55.62
was a minister
he began to tell him
00:35:55.65\00:35:58.67
about his family
life that his wife was
00:35:58.70\00:36:01.61
leaving him that his
children, when taking the
00:36:01.64\00:36:05.29
children and he
began to cry and so
00:36:05.32\00:36:08.05
Gordon put his arm
around that patrol mans,
00:36:08.08\00:36:10.88
young patrol mans
shoulders and prayed with him.
00:36:10.91\00:36:13.98
I wished for my
camera just to see that his
00:36:14.01\00:36:17.55
tears streaming
down his face and cars
00:36:17.58\00:36:19.89
swishing by on the
free way and Gordon
00:36:19.92\00:36:22.42
praying with that young
man some day when the Lord
00:36:22.45\00:36:25.60
comes he is gonna
show us and let us see
00:36:25.63\00:36:28.42
see maybe if that
flat tire was for a reason.
00:36:28.45\00:36:31.76
Now I will sing in
his hands. In his hands.
00:36:31.79\00:36:35.50
There are times I am overwhelmed
00:36:47.21\00:36:51.72
with the onset of trails
00:36:51.75\00:36:55.80
And this burden
that I've carrying
00:36:59.41\00:37:02.42
it seems I've
carried it for miles
00:37:02.45\00:37:08.99
That's when I realize that in
00:37:12.43\00:37:15.71
my own strength I cannot stand
00:37:15.74\00:37:21.60
Then I know the time has come
00:37:23.97\00:37:27.36
when I must put it in Gods hand
00:37:27.39\00:37:33.00
In his hands, the
mountain look much smaller;
00:37:35.31\00:37:46.77
In his hands, the
valleys not so long
00:37:48.27\00:37:59.50
When I have carried
my burden as far as I can
00:37:59.53\00:38:14.73
Help me remember Lord
to put it in your hands
00:38:14.76\00:38:25.78
I read where Gods
mighty hand had parted the sea
00:38:25.81\00:38:37.03
And when his
children were safe across
00:38:40.45\00:38:44.61
he turned and
drowned there in me
00:38:49.29\00:38:50.26
I love that part
but when the water
00:38:50.27\00:38:54.83
is rising and the
rivers seems to wide to spend
00:38:54.86\00:39:02.34
Then I fall down on my knees
00:39:02.37\00:39:08.57
that's when I
put it in Gods hands
00:39:09.90\00:39:14.87
In his hands, the
mountain look much smaller
00:39:17.20\00:39:27.60
In his hands, the
valleys not so long
00:39:27.63\00:39:41.66
When I have carried
my burden as far as I can
00:39:41.69\00:39:55.76
Help me remember Lord
to put it in your hands
00:39:55.79\00:40:08.29
So when I have carried
my burden as far as I can
00:40:08.32\00:40:24.39
Help me remember Lord
to put it in your hands
00:40:24.42\00:40:36.18
Thank you Dona. Life
would be so much better
00:40:44.46\00:40:48.64
if we learned day by
day to put it in his hands
00:40:48.67\00:40:52.82
just to trust him let
him guide lead our lives.
00:40:52.85\00:40:57.79
Joe and Dona are
gonna do a Medley songs
00:40:57.82\00:41:02.41
for us at the piano
that I am sure you will
00:41:02.44\00:41:05.54
be blessed by at this time.
00:41:05.57\00:41:07.44
When I take my
vacation in Heaven
00:41:14.19\00:41:21.06
What a wonderful
time that will be
00:41:21.09\00:41:26.79
Hearing songs by
the Heavenly chorus
00:41:26.82\00:41:34.99
And the face of
my Saviour I'll see
00:41:35.02\00:41:41.33
Sitting down by
the banks of the river
00:41:41.36\00:41:48.35
'Neath the shade
of the evergreen tree
00:41:48.38\00:41:54.59
I'll rest from
my burdens forever
00:41:54.62\00:42:02.16
Won't you spend
your vacation with me
00:42:02.19\00:42:08.44
How long has it been
since you talked with the Lord
00:42:10.73\00:42:18.45
And felt your days worth living
00:42:18.48\00:42:24.29
How long since you
knew that he cared for you
00:42:24.32\00:42:33.31
And would keep you
the long night through.
00:42:33.34\00:42:40.19
How long has it been
since you knelt with the dawn
00:42:41.42\00:42:48.38
And said this
day is worth living
00:42:48.41\00:42:53.95
Can you call him your friend
00:42:53.98\00:43:00.55
How long has it
been since you knew
00:43:00.58\00:43:05.86
that he cared for you
00:43:05.89\00:43:11.49
I have everything I
need to make me happy
00:43:12.64\00:43:19.13
I have Jesus to show me the way
00:43:19.16\00:43:27.97
For you save me and
you gave me life eternal
00:43:28.00\00:43:35.30
And now I have everything
and now I have everything.
00:43:35.33\00:43:55.38
Do you remember when I first,
00:43:55.41\00:44:01.14
we were in Portland together,
00:44:01.17\00:44:03.84
met you and I had
heard you sing and
00:44:03.87\00:44:05.81
I was so blessed by
it and you sing a song
00:44:05.84\00:44:09.21
oh, gentle shepherd
and that was back in 70s,
00:44:09.24\00:44:13.82
1870, no, no, no,
anyway course that date me too
00:44:13.85\00:44:18.02
don't know, but are
you could you if I can
00:44:18.05\00:44:21.84
find the right key,
do you think you could do
00:44:21.87\00:44:23.70
this for, for me. I
don't guarantee this.
00:44:23.73\00:44:27.48
My soul is lost,
so lonely and so cold
00:44:36.58\00:44:47.69
Just like a lamb that
has strayed from the fold
00:44:47.72\00:44:59.01
Across the barren
waste of sin I roam
00:44:59.04\00:45:10.12
Oh, gentle shepherd hear my
00:45:10.15\00:45:15.37
cry and lead me home.
00:45:15.40\00:45:21.42
The hours go by on
frightened wings of flight
00:45:21.45\00:45:32.72
While wolves of hell
are waiting for the night
00:45:32.75\00:45:43.32
To claim the soul
that wandered from the fold
00:45:43.35\00:45:54.93
Oh, gentle shepherd
hear my cry and save my soul.
00:45:54.96\00:46:10.45
Thank you Joe and
Dona wonderful very,
00:46:12.28\00:46:15.58
very beautiful. Now you know
00:46:15.61\00:46:18.77
we each day by day
convert to Jesus Christ,
00:46:18.80\00:46:24.79
he will take care of
you, guide and direct your
00:46:24.82\00:46:28.81
life and he is
concerned about each one of you.
00:46:28.84\00:46:31.52
Joe, I understand in a
new album you've just done
00:46:31.55\00:46:35.20
that there is a song
that you get more requests
00:46:35.23\00:46:38.25
for then any other and
that's one called the Sparrow.
00:46:38.28\00:46:41.75
That's correct. Would you mind
00:46:41.78\00:46:43.38
doing that for us. I love to do.
00:46:43.41\00:46:45.09
He sees a sparrow
fall to the ground
00:46:52.75\00:47:00.84
His eyes go misty
as he reaches down
00:47:00.87\00:47:07.99
Gently he lifts it
from somewhere below
00:47:08.02\00:47:14.98
Touches and heals it
and then that it goes
00:47:15.01\00:47:24.33
How much more
does my father on high
00:47:25.49\00:47:32.47
Care when I am
burdened, care when I cry
00:47:32.50\00:47:40.17
Sometimes I forget
he knows all my sorrows
00:47:41.91\00:47:50.54
Over then I rejoice
when I remember the sparrow
00:47:50.57\00:48:00.21
Why should I
commit as treasures today
00:48:10.42\00:48:16.83
In the space of our
heartbeat they'll all pass away
00:48:16.86\00:48:24.21
And why should I
carry this burden of doubt
00:48:24.24\00:48:32.05
I'll give it to
Jesus and he work it out.
00:48:32.08\00:48:40.50
How much more
does my father on high
00:48:42.34\00:48:49.68
Care when I am
burdened, care when I cry
00:48:49.71\00:48:56.92
Sometimes I forget
that he knows all my sorrows
00:48:58.83\00:49:07.42
Over then I rejoice
when I remember the sparrow.
00:49:07.45\00:49:16.73
Over then I rejoice
when I remember the sparrow.
00:49:16.76\00:49:32.14
Thank you Joe
that was wonderful.
00:49:36.90\00:49:39.80
I appreciate that
very much, you know,
00:49:39.83\00:49:41.86
each day following
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:49:41.89\00:49:45.27
and walking with
him is just like walking
00:49:45.30\00:49:48.90
in the sunshine
and Dona is gonna play
00:49:48.93\00:49:51.43
that beautiful song for us.
00:49:51.46\00:49:53.94
Thank you Dona for that song,
00:51:45.94\00:51:47.54
it's wonderful, I
appreciate it very, very much.
00:51:47.57\00:51:51.37
Have you ever
considered if you had
00:51:51.40\00:51:55.95
your life to live
over again, would you do
00:51:55.98\00:52:00.31
the same thing
that you have done
00:52:00.34\00:52:02.32
or would you change
it, what would you do.
00:52:02.35\00:52:06.00
Well some things I
definitely would change,
00:52:06.03\00:52:09.39
but working for the Lord no, no
00:52:10.25\00:52:13.02
I do it again in a
heart beat if he just
00:52:13.05\00:52:16.71
have me nothing
like serving the Lord.
00:52:16.74\00:52:20.12
Well, I agree with
Dona as far as my life
00:52:20.15\00:52:24.75
goes only there are
some things that I would
00:52:24.78\00:52:28.72
definitely do
different. I'm thankful that
00:52:28.75\00:52:33.03
God put me, where I
am and I have got to
00:52:33.06\00:52:36.57
do music because
you know when I was
00:52:36.60\00:52:42.55
younger, young
dad, young husband,
00:52:42.58\00:52:46.28
my dream was to
move to Nashville
00:52:46.31\00:52:51.10
and get into
country music. Well that
00:52:51.98\00:52:57.18
didn't happen, but
the one thing that I would
00:52:57.21\00:53:00.71
change, I would do
my best to be a better
00:53:00.74\00:53:05.60
dad and husband then I
was, I mean I can't look back
00:53:05.63\00:53:09.29
and Ken and I think, you
know, lot of people can't,
00:53:09.32\00:53:12.12
but some of them
aren't very pleasant memories
00:53:12.15\00:53:15.90
that's what I wonder my
family even speak to me.
00:53:15.93\00:53:17.78
I'm sure they
does. They love you Joe,
00:53:18.84\00:53:21.25
I know that, I as far
as myself is concerned
00:53:21.28\00:53:25.56
if I had to do it all
over again I would do the
00:53:25.59\00:53:30.41
same thing as far
as what I have done in
00:53:30.44\00:53:34.03
evangelism over
the years, I would stay
00:53:34.06\00:53:36.15
right in that, I
wouldn't change that,
00:53:36.18\00:53:38.35
that's something
that's been very fulfilling
00:53:38.38\00:53:43.27
in my life and
brought a lot of joy,
00:53:43.30\00:53:46.06
there certainly a
lot of things that I
00:53:46.09\00:53:49.46
would have changed far as not
00:53:49.49\00:53:52.39
understanding one
of the biggest problems
00:53:52.42\00:53:55.41
I had was
understanding the difference
00:53:55.44\00:53:57.31
between what the
Lord wanted me to
00:53:57.34\00:53:59.71
do and what they
call the Lords work,
00:53:59.74\00:54:01.85
you know, and I
realize it I probably Joe
00:54:01.88\00:54:05.24
didn't spend the
time with my children and
00:54:05.27\00:54:08.17
my wife that I
should have, but as far as
00:54:08.20\00:54:11.90
doing the work of
evangelism I stayed right
00:54:11.93\00:54:15.31
there and I thank the
Lord for the opportunity
00:54:15.34\00:54:19.15
he gave me to
work in his vineyard
00:54:19.18\00:54:21.58
that's been a
blessing. But aren't you glad
00:54:21.61\00:54:23.45
he doesn't give up on us.
00:54:23.48\00:54:24.92
Amen, I am so glad
and so when we come
00:54:24.95\00:54:28.43
to the end, we are
thankful, we are gonna
00:54:28.46\00:54:32.48
share with you
Joe and Dona the song
00:54:32.51\00:54:35.60
entitled When I Come To The End.
00:54:35.63\00:54:37.75
When you come to
the end of the day,
00:55:51.01\00:55:58.06
And the night
calls your worries away,
00:55:58.09\00:56:07.61
Do you ever
watch the setting sun,
00:56:07.64\00:56:17.92
And dream of things
that you might have done?
00:56:17.95\00:56:26.66
Do you turn from
your work with a smile?
00:56:26.69\00:56:33.50
Do you feel that
it's all worth the while?
00:56:33.53\00:56:43.46
As you dream the
twilight hours away,
00:56:43.49\00:56:53.83
When you come to
the end of the day!
00:56:53.86\00:57:03.72
When you come to
the end of the day!
00:57:03.75\00:57:16.66
Let's pray.
Heavenly father as we come
00:57:17.71\00:57:21.46
to the end of this
program, we thank you
00:57:21.49\00:57:24.98
for the presence of
your spirit, for the
00:57:25.01\00:57:28.98
opportunity you have
given each one of us to walk
00:57:29.01\00:57:32.78
with you, to follow
you, in all that we do,
00:57:32.81\00:57:35.74
bless each one we
pray in Christ name amen.
00:57:35.77\00:57:40.36
