And so Bret sings the lead on that song 06:25 and we do the harmonies to him. 06:26 All right, we are gonna be playing that 06:28 in just a little bit. 06:29 But we want to hear some of the other songs 06:31 that you have on this new CD is CD, 06:33 you know, we are going to talk about the DVD. 06:35 Oh, yes. 06:36 Which I am really most excited about. 06:38 Yeah, all right. 06:39 But what are some of the other songs 06:40 you have on your new CD? 06:42 On the new CD we have 06:43 "No One Ever Care For Me Like Jesus." Okay. 06:45 Which is a wonderful beautiful old song. 06:47 Featuring Ms. Ladye Love, right. 06:48 Yes, it is. Yes, it is and then-- 06:51 Another song is 06:52 "He Looked Beyond My Fault And Saw My Need." 06:54 And that came from being on the road with 3ABN. 06:57 We were singing somewhere 06:58 when we can't remember where that was. 06:59 We were in Florida. We were in Florida. 07:01 Florida, that's right. 07:02 And you said, "Reggie, sing that song." 07:05 And he had never done it and I think 07:06 maybe David Huntsinger was there at that day. 07:08 He kept ten hours this thing going you know. Yes. 07:12 David Huntsinger was playing piano than night. 07:15 And Danny came and said 07:17 "hey why don't you sing that Dottie-- 07:20 Dottie Rambo. Rambo lyrics. 07:21 I had to put the lyrics to the old. 07:23 Danny Boy which was actually Londonderry Air 07:27 which Danny Boy got it from-- so it continues to going. 07:29 And it continues on right, right. 07:31 And so he comes out and of course the live TV 07:34 and he says "Reggie why don't you sing." 07:36 Then he looked beyond my fault. 07:38 And then of course you know. 07:40 Well, and we'd never done it. We didn't have so. 07:42 I said you stand it by me. 07:43 And I remember what happened. And they picked out the key-- 07:47 Oh, I remember. 07:49 And then David-- David I don't know he forgot 07:52 or what it was but anyway 07:53 he put it about two steps higher at least may be three. 07:57 Yes. It went from Iris Tanner to Iris Soprano. 08:01 So you, what you did? He nailed it. 08:03 Oh, didn't he? He nailed it. Oh, didn't he? He nailed it. 08:05 I remember you two sitting there 08:06 on the front row and you were like, oh. 08:08 As soon as he started off 08:10 because that song really goes up on chorus, 08:12 as soon as you started off I looked at her 08:15 and I said "that's not the right key." 08:17 And he said, "oh, no." 08:18 And I think it's live television. 08:20 It was. Oh yes, it was. 08:21 And I was trying to get David's attention going 08:23 "be flatter whatever." Yeah, yeah. 08:26 Too late we are in it, man. 08:28 But it took him to another level 08:29 and he played it through and it sound great. 08:31 And it became popular. Yeah. 08:33 You know, what I did love. 08:34 And people loved this. So that's on the CD. 08:37 Yeah, that's song. And that's great. 08:38 In a lower key. Lower key-- 08:40 And then Danny-- there is another song 08:41 that so many people all over the world know. 08:45 It's a song that we did it and my uncle found 08:49 he listened to my uncle passed away. 08:52 And so you know 12 years ago 08:55 and he listened to a lot of cultic music. 08:57 And lot of cultic music that most people 09:01 would not get to hear he had his, 09:03 he just felt the heartbeat of that and found things 09:06 that no one has found 09:07 and he found a song called "You Raise Me Up." 09:09 And he found that song and this was years ago 09:12 and this Josh Groban made this popular to the world. 09:17 Rolf Lovland was the writer of the song in Norway 09:19 there, Kristiansand, Norway. 09:21 And but he made it famous 09:25 but we actually recorded that song 09:27 about year prior to Josh Groban recording that 09:31 and we were grateful 09:32 that he actually released to the world 09:34 because everybody really got to hear 09:35 this beautiful, beautiful song 09:37 which sort of that old Danny Boy thing. 09:39 I think I have heard you guys in Canada, was it Canada? 09:42 Right. 09:44 With the Gaither day I mean yeah, 09:45 the tremendous audience 09:47 and you guys came out that circle stage 09:49 that you had and this thing that was absolutely incredible. 09:51 Canadian video. 09:53 Well, what we want to do we've now 09:55 they came here to 3ABN and we-- 09:58 how many songs did you record, 23? 10:00 Twenty three on the DVD. 10:01 Twenty three on the DVD so you get two DVDs in one. 10:04 Over two hours.

How mellow was that. 17:06 You know, it is beautiful, beautiful you guys. 17:09 I think of the words of that song too 17:11 and they did it with so much feeling. 17:13 It's such incredible talent but the words of that 17:15 "No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus" 17:17 so no matter what you're going through. 17:20 And I don't want to talk about it too much 17:22 because I don't want to get Ladye all in too many tears 17:25 but you have gone through you've lost your daddy. 17:28 You know we love your daddy. 17:29 I mean a great guy but when we think about 17:33 you know, "No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus" 17:35 and you think about how much your daddy loves you 17:37 and you love your daddy 17:38 but yet God loves us even more than we love each other 17:41 in our own families 17:43 and what an incredible Savior that we have. 17:45 It's hard to imagine in our mind that He loves us that much. 17:47 I know, yes. It is isn't it? 17:49 When you think about 17:51 how much God love us and what He has done, 17:54 sacrificed His own child for us 17:56 so to speak it's just so powerful. 17:59 You know, before years ago I would think about that 18:02 and I would try to think 18:04 you know because we can get caught up 18:05 and how we feel about ourselves. 18:07 Our self image and our self confidence 18:08 or what we think and we could feel very inferior 18:11 in the world people can feel badly 18:13 and I use to think about 18:14 because you think about the deficits 18:16 and you don't think about the things 18:18 the way that God uniquely made you 18:20 and celebrate that too much. 18:22 We--the world looks it false. 18:25 The world looks at things 18:26 and so I think when I was younger 18:29 I would try to have self confidence 18:31 and think about that but 18:32 I couldn't imagine God loving me that much. 18:35 It's hard for you to understand His love 18:37 when you don't love yourself that way. 18:40 And to think of the love like that 18:42 so different from our love. Yes. 18:44 And then when I we had our son 18:46 it's started God revealed the more 18:49 this is the little glimpse of how I love you. 18:51 This is a little glimpse. 18:52 You know because I love Him so much 18:55 those things don't matter, 18:57 those things don't matter at all. 18:58 And then it made me realize this is how God feels about me. 19:00 Yeah. And you and all of us. 19:02 Yes. A times ten million. 19:03 You know. Right, right. 19:05 And I think that that's why He allows us to procreate 19:07 so we understand a little bit of love that He has for us 19:13 and because He could have just created 19:15 everybody and that's so. 19:17 And He didn't he allows us to be a part of that and experience 19:20 some of that love. Amazing. 19:22 And yet the Bible says, I have not seen 19:24 nor you have heard neither has it even entered 19:27 into the heart of the man 19:29 the things that God has prepared for us. 19:31 And love it's gonna be a whole-- 19:35 we need an eternity. 19:36 Because how do you comprehend that. 19:38 We need it, that's right, amen. 19:40 I think we just get little glimpses on earth. 19:42 There is no way we can understand how amazing. 19:44 There is a song that you do here 19:46 and I love it "Somewhere between Heaven and Earth" 19:48 tell us a little bit about this song 19:50 and then we will play that for the folk. 19:54 Well, I just love this song because it just talks about, 19:56 about how that love, about how Jesus 19:59 how God sent His Son His ultimate-- 20:03 His ultimate Son down to love us to become human 20:06 and somewhere between heaven and earth 20:08 He decided to make this choice for us. 20:11 He decided to take on the sin of the world 20:13 and He decided to take my sin and your sin. 20:15 In flesh, in flesh. He didn't have to that. 20:17 And I just love this song 20:18 because it kind of paints that picture about 20:20 He came from heaven and He came down to earth 20:22 and He became one of us and he took on all that sins 20:25 somewhere between heaven and earth. 20:27 He was on that cross for you and me. 20:29 All right let's go to. 20:32 Martin Luther made this statement 20:34 that next to the word of God 20:36 music deserves the highest place. 20:39 Because the gift of music combined with language 20:43 was given to man that he might better proclaim the word of God. 21:07 Suspended above 21:11 The world that He made 21:14 And below His home in the sky 21:23 God in flesh came down to man 21:30 And man raise Him up to die 21:37 And they grown a tree 21:41 A destiny of every falling man 21:53 He is held by the nails 21:56 Driven through 22:00 His sinless feet and hands 22:08 Somewhere between heaven and earth 22:15 Stood a symbol of the raise 22:18 Now days own our words 22:22 It was there He endured 22:26 What do we deserved 22:31 Bore a cross held the hook of the world 22:37 Somewhere between heaven and earth 22:45 Somewhere between time and space 22:52 Somewhere between judgments and grace 22:59 He became the sin 23:03 He never knows 23:07 And does the skies turn black His Father turned His back 23:15 And for that moment He was let to low 23:22 He was left to low 23:27 Somewhere between heaven and earth 23:34 Stood the symbol of raise 23:37 Now days own our words 23:42 It was there He endured 23:45 What we deserved 23:50 For the cross held the hope of the world 23:56 Somewhere between heaven and earth 24:01 Somewhere between heaven and earth 24:08 Stood the symbol of raise 24:11 Now days own our words 24:15 It was there He endured 24:19 What we deserved 24:24 For the cross held the hope of the world 24:30 Yes the cross held the hope of the world 24:37 Yes the cross held the hope of the world 24:46 Somewhere Somewhere 24:49 Between heaven 24:57 And earth 25:02 Suspended above the world that He made 25:10 And below His home in the sky 25:31 Amen, boys.

Right. 29:26 And he magically had names of songs. 29:28 Yeah, right, right, right. Arrangement. 29:30 You might also try this, you know. 29:32 Tim Parton ready and available to write. 29:34 And Tim was incredible by the way. 29:36 It was amazing we came in 29:37 and actually it really just was the Holy Spirit 29:39 I really believe too. Yeah. 29:40 God just and because you know it's not something we planned, 29:44 we planned the things that we have to plan. 29:45 But God I fairly came in and really said 29:48 these are the songs that are-- 29:49 And then we added somebody else to give a little bit you know. 29:53 Oh yeah. Flavor let's say. 29:56 So we brought in Miss Yvonne Lewis. 29:59 That's exactly right. This lady right here. 30:01 And you guys love singing together. 30:03 Oh let me tell you-- 30:05 From day one. Day one. 30:06 I mean it was just-- 30:08 we just clicked from day one un-denounced. 30:12 We wanted to sing. Not only singers but friends. 30:15 That's right. Absolutely. Yvonne is one of the-- 30:18 I can't say anything bad about her, 30:20 they won't let me say anything bad about. 30:21 because they get on to me. 30:23 They won't let me say anything. 30:25 We got Yvonne back. Oh that's good. 30:26 Its one most challenging people we've ever met. 30:29 Yeah, yeah. 30:30 And the kindest and sweetest person we have ever met too 30:33 and she has the beautiful name my mother's name. 30:35 Oh, all right. 30:36 But really and truly I mean it's a rare combination 30:39 to find people who have been given a talent 30:42 and who love the Lord 30:44 and who still care about people and encourage and love. 30:48 And I am very serious. Well, praise the Lord. 30:50 You guys, you know, 30:52 you know, its interesting is that 30:56 when you do things in the music industry or whatever 31:01 there are people that you meet that you connect with them 31:03 and then there're people that you meet 31:05 that you have just a superficial 31:06 kind of hey, how's it go? 31:07 Great, everything is great. 31:09 You know that kind of thing. 31:10 But from the beginning it was a situation where we connect 31:14 and then I just think the Holy Spirit was just all in it. 31:18 You know, he is all in it. 31:19 And so we are so grateful for that, Yvonne. Yeah. 31:21 Because we cherish our friendships. 31:24 And that in more maybe that 31:25 we love making music together and we love that. 31:28 That's our favorite thing ever. I know. 31:29 But as a friendship honestly it's number one in Sanford. 31:32 I've talked about the ping pong 31:34 where we were talking about early. 31:35 You know we were. 31:37 Sure, he can't take it when you say good things but-- 31:38 Yeah, I know the things-- 31:42 Now we're heading in a direction 31:44 as host of the program I kind of keep it focused. 31:47 Keep it focused, I go it right. 31:49 And as I was bringing this down to the point 31:51 that you all three singing together at the live concert 31:54 and the live DVD they recorded here 31:58 they have brought in and then Yvonne Lewis 32:00 and you also had sing this song 32:03 on the Pillars about our faith. 32:05 But this is on their CD they are on their new DVD here. 32:09 Yeah. And it's holy, holy, holy. 32:28 Glory be to the Father 32:32 And to the Son 32:37 And to the Holy Ghost 32:43 As it was in the beginning is now 32:50 And ever shall be 32:55 World without end 32:59 Amen, amen 33:30 Holy, holy, holy 33:37 Lord God Almighty 33:43 Early in the morning our song 33:49 Shall rise to thee 33:54 Holy, holy, holy 34:01 Merciful and mighty 34:06 God in three persons 34:12 Blessed Trinity 34:27 Holy, holy, holy 34:34 Though the darkness hide thee 34:39 Though the eye of sinful man 34:45 Thy glory may not see 34:55 Only thou art holy 35:01 There is none beside thee 35:07 Perfect in power 35:12 In love and purity 35:30 As was in the beginning 35:36 His love that ever shall be 35:42 Held with our head bowing 35:47 Amen, amen 35:53 Holy, holy, holy 35:59 Lord God Almighty 36:05 All thy works shall praise thy name 36:09 In earth and sky and sea 36:16 Thousands attend our sins 36:21 Bowing down devotee 36:26 You, you, and yes, you are 36:34 And evermore shall be 36:48 Amen 36:59 Amen, oh that's a two-hander right. 37:02 You know what every time I hear that it's transporting. 37:06 It is just transporting. 37:08 Not because I am singing on that. 37:09 No, no, no, I understand. 37:10 Well, it does help. No, no. 37:12 It's the arrangement of it, the way. 37:14 You know, we are singing holy, holy to our holy God. 37:18 Yeah, holy God. It's just true. 37:20 Absolutely. Amazing. 37:23 This honestly this DVD this is of course 37:25 it's my favorite DVD ever 37:28 and I don't get tired of it I want to continue to watch it. 37:32 Because not only the talent 37:34 and I mean honestly they are incredibly talented 37:37 but that anointing of the Holy Spirit 37:39 that accompanies that. 37:41 That's what really makes it and then knowing them personally 37:45 and seeing them off camera. 37:47 And I can tell you as we travel around the world 37:49 there is nobody you can be where it is more fun than these. 37:53 We do it more laughing and I think people probably, 37:55 when we stop and rest and stuff they wonder 37:57 what in the world is going on. 37:58 What are they on? 38:00 No, yeah we have people coming over like you know 38:02 what is that because we are talking 38:04 and that ends up laughing all the time. 38:07 But it's always good clean stuff and it's just fun 38:10 and so, you know, its I use to say years ago 38:13 what people don't realize you can have 38:15 a whole lot more fun 38:16 when you're sober than when you're drunk. 38:18 Absolutely. I remember it. 38:22 Yeah and remember but you can just do 38:25 you know life is good we serve a great God. 38:28 And heaven will have an opportunity 38:31 to simply just praise Him and give Him thanks 38:34 and that's why I like this next little song you guys wrote. 38:37 Its beautiful song simple but it says at all. 38:40 It's like a Jesus loves me song, 38:42 this was "Thank You Lord." 38:48 For all the candle space 38:52 You have blessed me all my days 38:56 Father, let me pause to say I give You thanks 39:03 For the life You've give me 39:07 For my fiends 39:09 For my family for everyone do I have seen 39:14 I give You thanks I give You thanks 39:23 Thank You, Lord 39:30 Thank You, Lord 39:38 For all you done for me 39:45 I thank you, Lord 40:08 For Your guidance through the years 40:12 For Your presence through my fears 40:16 For all the joys and yes the tears 40:20 I give You thanks 40:23 For the faithfulness You've shown 40:27 Has I face each dark and known 40:31 I have never been alone I give You thanks 40:38 Lord, I give you thanks 40:43 Thank you, Lord 40:50 Thank you, Lord 40:57 For all You've done for me 41:05 I thank you, Lord 41:12 Sing, we thank You. 41:13 We thank you, Lord Lord, we thank you 41:21 Thank you, Lord 41:26 For all You have done 41:28 For all you have done for us 41:36 We thank you, Lord 41:41 For all You have done 41:43 For all You have done for us 41:51 We thank you, Lord 42:11 Amen. Isn't that great and get Bret involved in that? 42:14 I know isn't that precious? 42:15 Isn't he something this, this kid, I love Bret. 42:18 And I mean, Bret and me we get long like this. Don't we. 42:20 Yes. Right, Right. 42:22 So we have-- he loves you. 42:23 I think it because my mentality is like 11-year-old. 42:26 He fell in love with you in Australia. 42:28 That's right. But we had a great time. 42:31 And kids got a bundle of energy. 42:33 I don't know where he gets it do you? 42:34 Oh, we would know. He has got-- 42:37 And both of his parents are just so low. 42:38 Yeah, they are low.

Every-- 42:51 But mom shaking her head and dad 42:53 but you know thank you for getting him involved 42:56 in the gospel at such a young age 42:58 because, that's what it's all about. 43:00 You train up the child in the way you should go. 43:02 We are trying desperately. 43:05 Well, you have done a great job. Thank you. 43:07 We don't have a lot of time left 43:08 but we want to go to a song 43:10 that you allowed us to go to sing with you. 43:13 That's what I wanted to talk about. 43:14 Oh, what? If you don't mind-- 43:16 Whatever it takes. No, I just-- 43:17 we love this DVD for so many reasons. 43:19 I mean it just at first of all 3ABN afforded 43:22 this whole thing to take place. 43:24 We came to this center here. 43:26 The worship center. 43:27 At worship center and we have live audience 43:29 and we had the best and the best musicians come from Nashville. 43:33 And the crew was amazing 43:35 and we came in and we just had a wonderful night 43:38 and part of the reason is we had wonderful guest and we really-- 43:40 I really say that. 43:42 I mean that, wholeheartedly 43:43 we had Yvonne, you know, 43:45 and then we had Danny, Mr. Danny Shelton 43:46 and Melody Firestone also came 43:51 and they sang on the song that we love that we grew up. 43:53 I think Danny and I and Melody grew up on this song 43:57 that it's called you go ahead and tell about that. 44:00 "Whatever It Takes" it's written by Lanny Wolfe 44:03 and I think he wrote it in the 70s. 44:04 So since I am in that photo knows 44:06 I didn't grow up and I was grown when it came out. 44:09 And Melody grew up on it. 44:11 But sure it is it's a fabulous song. 44:13 "Whatever it takes for my will to break, 44:15 that's what I'll be willing to do." 44:17 And so thank you for allowing us to 44:19 be a part of this song with you. 44:21 And if you don't know the song it's a song 44:23 that every time I listen to it you know it really says am I, 44:28 am I in that place spiritually? 44:30 Am I really just singing this song? Right. 44:34 Or am I there sing okay Lord, 44:35 whatever it takes from my will to break 44:38 and that's really where we need to be. 44:39 We really do and that's a hard thing to say. 44:41 You know, whatever it takes and now that hard things. 44:45 The third verse on this song the one that you take Danny, 44:48 is a very-- you just listen that verse 44:50 because that is an absolutely a very difficult thing to do. 44:53 Okay.
