00:00:01.76\00:00:07.64
Mending broken people
00:00:07.67\00:00:12.54
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.57\00:00:18.95
Removing pain
00:00:18.98\00:00:23.99

00:00:24.02\00:00:30.09
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.13\00:00:34.66
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.70\00:00:40.47
Mending broken people
00:00:40.50\00:00:45.91

Hello, and
welcome to 3ABN today.
00:01:07.10\00:01:09.20
My name is C.A. Murray
and allow me once again
00:01:09.23\00:01:11.13
to thank you for sharing
00:01:11.17\00:01:12.50
just a little of your
no doubt busy day with us.
00:01:12.53\00:01:16.54
To thank you again for
your love, your prayers,
00:01:16.57\00:01:18.24
your support of this
ministry because we realize
00:01:18.27\00:01:20.84
each and every day
that we could not do
00:01:20.88\00:01:22.44
what we are called to do
without partnering with you,
00:01:22.48\00:01:24.95
without your love,
your prayers, your prayers,
00:01:24.98\00:01:27.32
and we don't say that
lightly because we know
00:01:27.35\00:01:29.88
that it is through
prayer that all things happen
00:01:29.92\00:01:32.62
and through the grace of God
00:01:32.65\00:01:33.99
and your love gifts
that you send to us.
00:01:34.02\00:01:36.22
So we thank you from
the bottom of our hearts
00:01:36.26\00:01:37.76
and I'm kind of
excited today because
00:01:37.79\00:01:39.66
our program is a bit different.
00:01:39.69\00:01:41.26
We switched up
things a little bit.
00:01:41.30\00:01:42.96
We don't often get
to nail Brother Shelton
00:01:43.00\00:01:45.50
down in the
guest chair one on one
00:01:45.53\00:01:48.50
but we have done so today.
00:01:48.54\00:01:50.41
He has consented to be
with us today in this capacity,
00:01:50.44\00:01:54.51
you see the guitar next to him
00:01:54.54\00:01:55.88
so we are gonna
have some music here.
00:01:55.91\00:01:57.25
I'm very, very
excited about that.
00:01:57.28\00:01:58.88
Danny, good to
have you here, man.
00:01:58.91\00:02:00.25
Thank you, pastor.
00:02:00.28\00:02:01.62
And good to have
you in this capacity.
00:02:01.65\00:02:03.39
Well, it's a little different.
00:02:03.42\00:02:04.75
I'm used to doing the--
00:02:04.79\00:02:06.55
you know, interviewing people,
not to being interviewed.
00:02:06.59\00:02:08.92
Indeed. And you've got
your friend with you there.
00:02:08.96\00:02:10.89
Yeah.
00:02:10.93\00:02:12.26
There is a story
with that guitar.
00:02:12.29\00:02:14.26
There is. There is. Yeah. Yeah.
00:02:14.30\00:02:16.00
This guitar I bought
when I was 16-years-old
00:02:16.03\00:02:21.04
and it's a, I think it's a
1964 or 5 or something like that
00:02:21.07\00:02:26.88
I'm not surely exactly
00:02:26.91\00:02:28.24
but I bought it
when I was 16-years-old
00:02:28.28\00:02:30.55
and I kept it
till I think I was 19
00:02:30.58\00:02:33.72
and I think the
day that I was married,
00:02:33.75\00:02:36.05
I married Melody's mother Kay.
00:02:36.08\00:02:38.35
The day we got married I
needed some money, right,
00:02:38.39\00:02:41.69
as you got to go on a honeymoon
00:02:41.72\00:02:43.32
like I think down to Maryland
00:02:43.36\00:02:44.69
or something 30 minutes away
00:02:44.73\00:02:47.26
but so I sold this
guitar to a pastor,
00:02:47.30\00:02:52.07
a Baptist Pastor Ted Harvey
who was a friend of the family.
00:02:52.10\00:02:55.27
My folks had known
Ted for many years.
00:02:55.30\00:02:58.61
And years went by, 10
years, 20 years, 30 years,
00:02:58.64\00:03:03.18
what have you, maybe 35
years and one day we were out
00:03:03.21\00:03:07.45
here at 3ABN and he showed
up, Pastor Ted Harvey showed up
00:03:07.48\00:03:13.46
and said "Hey, I got something
that I want to give you,"
00:03:13.49\00:03:15.89
and brought in this
guitar and I was like, wow.
00:03:15.92\00:03:19.33
You know, be kind
of like getting your--
00:03:19.36\00:03:20.70
if you had a 1957 Chevy
weren't used and nice going
00:03:20.73\00:03:23.67
getting it back.
00:03:23.70\00:03:25.03
My bother Kenny had one,
he is not gonna get that back
00:03:25.07\00:03:26.94
I'm pretty sure, you
know, they will be very valuable
00:03:26.97\00:03:29.77
but this is not so valuable
and it's worth a lot of money.
00:03:29.80\00:03:34.54
You know, it's a
Gibson guitar it may be worth
00:03:34.58\00:03:36.88
couple thousand
dollars, I don't know.
00:03:36.91\00:03:38.25
I mean, it's not like,
00:03:38.28\00:03:39.61
you know,
tremendous amount of money
00:03:39.65\00:03:40.98
but what it does for
you for your memories
00:03:41.02\00:03:42.85
and just taking you back in time
00:03:42.88\00:03:45.32
and when you are 16-year-old
and used to play music on it
00:03:45.35\00:03:49.82
and so it's really
neat to have it back.
00:03:49.86\00:03:51.46
So I thank Brother Ted
Harvey for giving this guitar.
00:03:51.49\00:03:54.76
He didn't sell it to me.
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.13
Said, hey, I
just want you have it
00:03:56.16\00:03:57.73
and so we've been friends
00:03:57.77\00:03:59.30
and haven't seen him
in quite a few years.
00:03:59.33\00:04:01.04
So thank you so much.
00:04:01.07\00:04:02.40
It's really neat and it's got a,
00:04:02.44\00:04:04.07
it's got a pretty nice
little sound to for it.
00:04:04.11\00:04:06.04
No, it's not a big guitar,
00:04:11.05\00:04:12.38
you know, it's not a big guitar.
00:04:12.41\00:04:13.75
No, it's a small but
it's kind of little mellow.
00:04:13.78\00:04:15.12
You know, I like
it. It's really nice.
00:04:21.86\00:04:25.99
I grew up in a musical
family, some of folk know
00:04:26.03\00:04:29.40
my mom and dad were
country western singers.
00:04:29.43\00:04:32.20
My mother when she
was alive would say,
00:04:32.23\00:04:33.70
now, remember don't
talk too much about me.
00:04:33.74\00:04:36.27
She played the piano,
00:04:36.30\00:04:37.64
Rinky Tink, we called the piano.
00:04:37.67\00:04:39.01
We borrowing the
style and she said,
00:04:39.04\00:04:41.21
now I was only
out in a few months,
00:04:41.24\00:04:42.78
you know, but your
dad was one out there
00:04:42.81\00:04:45.41
singing for a number of
years with a friend of his,
00:04:45.45\00:04:47.42
Bernie Smith and Jack--
00:04:47.45\00:04:49.38
and my uncle Charlie
Rice played the base.
00:04:49.42\00:04:51.05
They did country western style.
00:04:51.09\00:04:52.92
So I grew up and
grew up in the '60s
00:04:52.95\00:04:56.12
I was in high
school in the '60s.
00:04:56.16\00:04:58.49
That's pretty scary,
that's almost 50 years ago.
00:04:58.53\00:05:00.70
Yeah, late '60s though.
00:05:00.73\00:05:02.66
And you know that,
yeah, you know that.
00:05:02.70\00:05:04.37
Well, we started I
think, we started about '65
00:05:04.40\00:05:06.77
because me and
you are the same age.
00:05:06.80\00:05:08.14
So I know when you
were in school too,
00:05:08.17\00:05:10.44
C.A. Murray, right.
00:05:10.47\00:05:13.48
You're the atheist child.
That's right. That's right.
00:05:13.51\00:05:15.48
But you think about
that, that's a long time ago.
00:05:15.51\00:05:17.48
It is. It is.
00:05:17.51\00:05:18.85
But my folks, my dad
had become a Christian
00:05:18.88\00:05:22.85
actually before that
when I was very, very young.
00:05:22.88\00:05:25.52
My mother actually
became and Adventist Christian
00:05:25.55\00:05:28.49
when I was born,
the year I was born 1951
00:05:28.52\00:05:31.73
and my dad I
think five years later,
00:05:31.76\00:05:33.29
but he always had a
little room in the house
00:05:33.33\00:05:35.53
we call music room.
00:05:35.56\00:05:36.90
He had little real,
real tape recording.
00:05:36.93\00:05:38.27
Friends would come
over and he would still do
00:05:38.30\00:05:40.24
just for fun some
of the country songs
00:05:40.27\00:05:42.00
and some gospel songs.
00:05:42.04\00:05:43.81
And so I kind of grew
up with that the music.
00:05:43.84\00:05:46.74
My brother Tommy is
a great piano player
00:05:46.78\00:05:48.64
and each of my brothers
Kenny play guitar a little bit,
00:05:48.68\00:05:51.11
Ronnie played bass a little
bit and I played little guitar
00:05:51.15\00:05:53.52
but none of us are great.
00:05:53.55\00:05:55.35
Tommy went out there, he
is a great musician studio
00:05:55.38\00:05:58.79
the rest of us we
just kind of enjoyed it
00:05:58.82\00:06:01.82
and from time to time
that I was one of those
00:06:01.86\00:06:04.19
if it was ball
season, if it's basketball
00:06:04.23\00:06:06.33
or, you know, I
didn't care if it's--
00:06:06.36\00:06:08.23
You kind of round ball, yeah.
00:06:08.26\00:06:09.60
Ping pong and winter
time anything that I could hit
00:06:09.63\00:06:12.63
knock around on, you
know, that's what I like to do.
00:06:12.67\00:06:15.00
So I never really spent a
lot of time playing guitar.
00:06:15.04\00:06:18.41
I still don't, I
probably I don't know
00:06:18.44\00:06:19.97
if I play two or
three hours a year.
00:06:20.01\00:06:22.51
Now, we won't see
playing that much really
00:06:22.54\00:06:24.71
but it seems to
be kind of natural.
00:06:24.75\00:06:26.48
When did you first
start, when you pick a guitar?
00:06:26.51\00:06:28.65
Oh, wow.
00:06:28.68\00:06:30.02
I'm not even sure as
probably five or six,
00:06:30.05\00:06:31.75
seven-years-old,
you know, young boys
00:06:31.79\00:06:33.89
like to emulate their father.
00:06:33.92\00:06:36.46
My dad I would seem set
around playing all the time
00:06:36.49\00:06:38.76
so he wound teach
me chords, G chord,
00:06:38.79\00:06:41.23
you know, C chord,
D chord, very basic
00:06:41.26\00:06:44.17
lot of country
songs are just G, C and D,
00:06:44.20\00:06:46.37
you know, and
naturally that would be one,
00:06:46.40\00:06:48.87
four and five but it's
G, C and D for instance.
00:06:48.90\00:06:52.77
But I would pick up the
guitar and then I remember
00:06:52.81\00:06:55.08
about the third grade I
read a book by Stephen Foster
00:06:55.11\00:06:59.18
and he was a songwriter wrote
"Way Down Upon Swanee River"
00:06:59.21\00:07:02.52
and I said, ma, I think I
would like to be a songwriter
00:07:02.55\00:07:05.59
and I actually kind to
remember I didn't practice
00:07:05.62\00:07:08.46
and didn't plan on doing
it but I kind of remember
00:07:08.49\00:07:10.33
the first song I ever
wrote is about a nine-year-old.
00:07:10.36\00:07:14.03
Now maybe I could try here.
00:07:14.06\00:07:16.60
See what key.
00:07:16.63\00:07:18.10
I like to help my
mommy and my daddy too
00:07:18.13\00:07:22.47
I would like to be
like Jesus all day through
00:07:22.50\00:07:26.68
I'm Jesus little
helper I do my very best
00:07:26.71\00:07:30.75
I know He is at my
house a very welcome guest
00:07:30.78\00:07:34.85
I know that He is
with me everywhere I go
00:07:34.88\00:07:38.82
I'll put my trust
in Jesus that I know.
00:07:38.85\00:07:44.83
Kind of low form here but--
00:07:44.86\00:07:46.19
Well, well done. Well done.
00:07:46.23\00:07:47.56
That's why I remember
so I started doing that
00:07:47.60\00:07:50.10
and then little later on
I wrote a couple of songs
00:07:50.13\00:07:52.20
and I didn't do too much writing
00:07:52.23\00:07:53.84
but I would sit down
specially in the winter time,
00:07:53.87\00:07:56.77
you know, we would
get around the piano
00:07:56.81\00:07:58.37
or whatever and on Sabbaths.
00:07:58.41\00:08:00.78
You know, on
Sabbath we would get around
00:08:00.81\00:08:02.24
and everybody would pick up
an instrument and try to play
00:08:02.28\00:08:05.25
something the
other wasn't playing.
00:08:05.28\00:08:06.61
We didn't--
00:08:06.65\00:08:07.98
we were very poor
actually so we didn't really
00:08:08.02\00:08:10.02
and didn't have a
TV when we were young.
00:08:10.05\00:08:11.62
In fact, when I was really young
00:08:11.65\00:08:12.99
we didn't have
inside bathrooms doors,
00:08:13.02\00:08:15.39
probably 11 or 12-years-old
but my father was disabled
00:08:15.42\00:08:18.66
at very young age 36 and
so, you know, we didn't have
00:08:18.69\00:08:23.60
like you didn't go buy
horns and buy instruments
00:08:23.63\00:08:26.40
or rent them but a
guitar, you can pretty well
00:08:26.43\00:08:28.47
know guitar somewhere
an old bass pretty cheap
00:08:28.50\00:08:30.57
or you can trade for them.
00:08:30.61\00:08:31.97
Then we had an old
up bright piano that,
00:08:32.01\00:08:34.41
you know, my
mother would play and so
00:08:34.44\00:08:36.58
but we would
sit around the house
00:08:36.61\00:08:38.31
and we would do songs.
00:08:38.35\00:08:41.18
Jesus, keep me near the cross...
00:08:41.22\00:08:47.29
My dad would play it like this.
00:08:47.32\00:08:48.66
There a precious fountain
00:08:48.69\00:08:55.43
Free to all, a healing stream
00:08:55.46\00:09:02.34
Flows from Calvary's mountain.
00:09:02.37\00:09:08.88
And that's kind of stuff
you would hear around the house
00:09:08.91\00:09:12.08
when you weren't doing
00:09:12.11\00:09:13.45
but my daddy did a
lot of the country song,
00:09:13.48\00:09:15.78
you know, "Make the
world go away, get it off"
00:09:15.82\00:09:19.02
you know that type of thing.
00:09:19.05\00:09:22.09
Jim Reeves and I
grew up Eddy Arnold
00:09:22.12\00:09:24.63
and a lot of those
flock but I have some reason,
00:09:24.66\00:09:28.30
C.A., that I always like stuff
that I didn't know how to play.
00:09:28.33\00:09:32.83
And when I was in
high school, you know,
00:09:32.87\00:09:35.37
the Beatles were big
back then in late 60s
00:09:35.40\00:09:37.67
and I don't know
all these other groups.
00:09:37.71\00:09:39.67
And I couldn't stand
that stuff and everybody say--
00:09:39.71\00:09:42.31
because very few kids
in my high school played,
00:09:42.34\00:09:45.91
you know, everybody
want to get a rock band
00:09:45.95\00:09:47.42
but not that many
people play guitar.
00:09:47.45\00:09:49.95
Hey, Shelton, you
can play let's get,
00:09:49.98\00:09:51.52
let's start this rock band.
00:09:51.55\00:09:52.89
I say, I hate
that stuff, you know.
00:09:52.92\00:09:54.96
And part of it where I
was raised been a Christian
00:09:54.99\00:09:57.33
in a Christian
home and then part of it
00:09:57.36\00:09:59.23
I just didn't like the style
00:09:59.26\00:10:00.60
and honestly I
thought that stuff
00:10:00.63\00:10:02.76
there is no
appeal for me whatsoever.
00:10:02.80\00:10:06.03
And so I would listen
to stuff and sometimes
00:10:06.07\00:10:09.40
I would hear
stuff like when I was 16
00:10:09.44\00:10:11.24
I was trying to play...
00:10:11.27\00:10:12.61
"Look At Me."
00:10:20.58\00:10:22.18
You know, that type
so that really is kind of
00:10:22.22\00:10:24.42
like the big
band stuff and I said,
00:10:24.45\00:10:26.92
you know, I really going
back into the 40s and 50s.
00:10:26.96\00:10:29.42
I really enjoyed those chords.
00:10:29.46\00:10:31.26
So you just had a
different, a different ear.
00:10:31.29\00:10:34.23
And though you say
you didn't play that much
00:10:34.26\00:10:36.03
I know later on
00:10:36.06\00:10:37.40
you actually began to
take groups of Nashville
00:10:37.43\00:10:38.77
and you kind of got
into it so that it seems
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.90
like this is kind of
natural for you and your family.
00:10:40.94\00:10:42.90
Wasn't a great
stretch for you even though
00:10:42.94\00:10:44.94
you didn't drive
yourself to do it
00:10:44.97\00:10:47.34
but it was kind of
natural to just pick up a guitar
00:10:47.38\00:10:49.34
and kind of
hear music and do it.
00:10:49.38\00:10:50.71
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:50.75\00:10:52.08
There is music and there is just
00:10:52.11\00:10:53.45
and it's like
anything else in life,
00:10:53.48\00:10:54.82
you know, I would like
talk to young people now
00:10:54.85\00:10:56.85
our older folk,
you know, there is all,
00:10:56.89\00:10:59.15
we all have
certain gifts and abilities
00:10:59.19\00:11:01.76
but you have to hold nose.
00:11:01.79\00:11:03.29
In other words you
can't just say okay, Lord,
00:11:03.32\00:11:05.26
I want to be a real good
guitarist and never practice.
00:11:05.29\00:11:08.46
You know, Lord, I
want to be a great speaker
00:11:08.50\00:11:10.73
and never practice speaking.
00:11:10.77\00:11:12.10
I mean, so we reap what we sow.
00:11:12.13\00:11:15.27
And if we--
00:11:15.30\00:11:16.64
excuse me, if we--
00:11:16.67\00:11:18.01
if God has given us a gift
00:11:18.04\00:11:20.81
then we have to
use that gift, right.
00:11:20.84\00:11:23.75
I mean, anything that my
dad would tell me that son,
00:11:23.78\00:11:25.95
you are not gonna get any better
00:11:25.98\00:11:27.32
unless you
practice whatever you do.
00:11:27.35\00:11:29.02
And I guess I just
didn't love it enough
00:11:29.05\00:11:30.85
to really stay with it
00:11:30.89\00:11:32.22
but enough that
I could write songs
00:11:32.25\00:11:34.72
and I enjoyed it and
I still do rarely but,
00:11:34.76\00:11:37.46
you know, sit around
one night, two, three,
00:11:37.49\00:11:40.20
I don't know
maybe four years ago
00:11:40.23\00:11:41.56
I was just
sitting around the house.
00:11:41.60\00:11:42.93
I do this a lot and
might be 10 or 11 o'clock,
00:11:42.96\00:11:46.17
it's quiet, one night
I said, you know, Lord,
00:11:46.20\00:11:48.77
I just want to
give You something.
00:11:48.80\00:11:50.74
And what do you give
the Creator of the universe?
00:11:50.77\00:11:54.98
Really nothing. Yeah.
00:11:55.01\00:11:56.34
And I just kind of heard
this small voice that said,
00:11:56.38\00:11:58.38
just give Him your praise.
00:11:58.41\00:12:00.18
And I said, oh, I can do that
00:12:00.22\00:12:01.65
and this little song came to me.
00:12:01.68\00:12:04.02
Oh, my praise
00:12:04.05\00:12:07.96
I give you all my praise
00:12:07.99\00:12:15.83
That's all I have to offer you
00:12:15.86\00:12:23.57
I now build a sanctuary deep
00:12:25.27\00:12:32.81
Within my heart
00:12:32.85\00:12:36.42
And all my praise
00:12:36.45\00:12:40.46
I offer up to you
00:12:40.49\00:12:43.76
And I thought how
much I love You, Lord.
00:12:43.79\00:12:45.99
I love You, Lord
00:12:46.03\00:12:50.67
Oh, how I love you, Lord
00:12:50.70\00:12:57.81
I bear hardened soul to you
00:12:57.84\00:13:05.71
I'm an empty broken vessel
00:13:07.85\00:13:13.02
Filled with hurt and pain inside
00:13:13.05\00:13:18.73
Still I'll offer up
00:13:18.76\00:13:23.83
All my pains to you
00:13:23.87\00:13:29.27
And just little songs
like that will come to me
00:13:29.30\00:13:31.81
and what I found
out is not every song
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.71
is meant to bless the
nation or to bless a world
00:13:34.74\00:13:37.98
but something they are
just meant to bless me.
00:13:38.01\00:13:41.15
I've written songs and sang them
00:13:41.18\00:13:42.68
and thought well,
people will, this will catch on
00:13:42.72\00:13:45.19
and didn't
really seem to catch on
00:13:45.22\00:13:47.19
but to me every time I--
00:13:47.22\00:13:48.72
this little song every
time I sing it I'm blessed.
00:13:48.76\00:13:51.79
And one time I was coming back
00:13:51.83\00:13:53.16
from speaking in
Nashville, I had E.T., with me
00:13:53.19\00:13:55.80
and we were as before we
built our own studios here
00:13:55.83\00:13:59.37
we would record it in a studio
00:13:59.40\00:14:01.37
and I have told
the story before.
00:14:01.40\00:14:03.37
Bobby All, the guitar
player is now resting in Jesus.
00:14:03.41\00:14:07.44
He had a great
sounding guitar that day
00:14:07.48\00:14:09.64
and so I was in the control room
00:14:09.68\00:14:11.01
and I said, Bobby,
though the speakers.
00:14:11.05\00:14:13.31
Bobby, what kind
of guitar you got?
00:14:13.35\00:14:15.28
Oh, it's Martin's.
Well, that makes sense.
00:14:15.32\00:14:16.75
Martin is a great
guitar. I said, what year?
00:14:16.79\00:14:19.12
I figure it's
'50s, '60s or maybe 2000,
00:14:19.15\00:14:22.72
you know, maybe
it's '90s back then.
00:14:22.76\00:14:25.13
And he said, that's
a '73 and I said, '73
00:14:25.16\00:14:28.20
that's not Martin's best years.
00:14:28.23\00:14:29.60
They changed
some of the bridging
00:14:29.63\00:14:31.37
and things inside and so I said,
00:14:31.40\00:14:33.44
they just didn't
have-- and I said so finally
00:14:33.47\00:14:36.34
we took a break I went in
00:14:36.37\00:14:37.71
and that guitar
sounded wonderful, C.A.
00:14:37.74\00:14:40.18
And I said, what did
you do to this guitar?
00:14:40.21\00:14:42.14
You go and do a lot of
shaving? He said, no, I aged it.
00:14:42.18\00:14:45.91
And I said, you aged it?
00:14:45.95\00:14:47.65
You know, how do you-- I
thought he was being funny.
00:14:47.68\00:14:49.78
He said, no, I aged it.
00:14:49.82\00:14:51.29
And he said, you know,
when you see an old violin
00:14:51.32\00:14:53.42
and they say,
the older the better
00:14:53.46\00:14:55.39
it's not just because
it's a hundred years old
00:14:55.42\00:14:57.46
and sit in the case
but the more you play it
00:14:57.49\00:15:00.00
the more vibrations,
the molecular structure
00:15:00.03\00:15:02.50
of the wood actually changes
00:15:02.53\00:15:04.27
and it will get
this beautiful sound.
00:15:04.30\00:15:06.17
So he said, what I
did with this guitar
00:15:06.20\00:15:09.24
I decided to age it so
every day I would turn on
00:15:09.27\00:15:11.61
when I would
leave to go to play.
00:15:11.64\00:15:13.58
He was a studio musician.
00:15:13.61\00:15:15.24
I would turn on my
speakers and music really loud,
00:15:15.28\00:15:18.35
I would set my
guitar in front of it
00:15:18.38\00:15:20.42
and it would
vibrate all day long.
00:15:20.45\00:15:22.12
Are you kidding?
And he said, I did that.
00:15:22.15\00:15:23.59
I don't know if it's
two or three years whatever
00:15:23.62\00:15:25.25
and he said, listen
how much better it sounds.
00:15:25.29\00:15:27.52
And sure enough
and on the way home
00:15:27.56\00:15:29.59
I couldn't-- I was driving home
00:15:29.62\00:15:31.83
and I said,
wow, that is amazing.
00:15:31.86\00:15:34.76
We take
something that God created
00:15:34.80\00:15:37.03
we kill it cut it
down, we take this tree,
00:15:37.07\00:15:39.27
we would cut it down, we
do all sorts of stuff to it.
00:15:39.30\00:15:41.90
Everything from plain
it, then once we get it all
00:15:41.94\00:15:44.64
where we want in
standard then we put varnish
00:15:44.67\00:15:46.88
and lacquer and all
kinds of things on it
00:15:46.91\00:15:49.48
so it can't breathe
and we think it's dead
00:15:49.51\00:15:51.81
but somehow it's
still, it's able to change
00:15:51.85\00:15:55.02
and still produce
something beautiful for God.
00:15:55.05\00:15:58.12
And so on the
home this little chorus
00:15:58.15\00:16:00.32
just came to me.
00:16:00.36\00:16:01.89
I love You, I love You, Lord
00:16:01.92\00:16:06.83
I love You, Lord, I really do
00:16:06.86\00:16:12.37
I love You, I love You, Lord
00:16:12.40\00:16:18.17
I love, You, Lord, I really do
00:16:18.21\00:16:23.91
My Savior,
Creator, Redeemer and King
00:16:23.95\00:16:30.59
You are the reason I sing
00:16:30.62\00:16:36.16
I love You, I love You, Lord
00:16:36.19\00:16:41.86
I love, You, Lord, I really do
00:16:41.90\00:16:49.37
Let me pay you a compliment
and then ask you a question.
00:16:49.40\00:16:53.51
And these shows are unscripted
I'm not getting raise for this.
00:16:53.54\00:16:56.41
Absolutely, I had no idea
00:16:56.44\00:16:57.91
I was gonna do
any of these songs.
00:16:57.95\00:17:00.48
But we believe
everything you tell us
00:17:00.52\00:17:03.42
except when you
say you don't think
00:17:03.45\00:17:04.89
you are a great singer
00:17:04.92\00:17:06.79
then we just
kind of turn you off
00:17:06.82\00:17:08.82
because we here think you are
00:17:08.86\00:17:11.43
and I think, I
think singing, Danny,
00:17:11.46\00:17:13.83
as you well know has
more than just a voice quality
00:17:13.86\00:17:16.36
because you look at
Willie Nelson or Jonny Cash
00:17:16.40\00:17:20.04
you talk about they are not,
00:17:20.07\00:17:21.40
you know, as far as
great vocalist they are not
00:17:21.44\00:17:25.31
but they buy what they sell.
00:17:25.34\00:17:27.48
In other words
they believe in it
00:17:27.51\00:17:28.84
that they are
producing and that comes through
00:17:28.88\00:17:32.38
and I think we can
all say that about you.
00:17:32.41\00:17:35.78
I think you got a fabulous voice
00:17:35.82\00:17:37.55
but I think more than
the technical abilities
00:17:37.59\00:17:40.86
of your voice you
buy what you sell.
00:17:40.89\00:17:43.63
When you are singing the
person on the consuming end
00:17:43.66\00:17:46.96
believes this guy
believes this stuff.
00:17:47.00\00:17:49.96
It's changed his life.
00:17:50.00\00:17:51.53
So what me through the process
00:17:51.57\00:17:54.87
do the words come first
or the music comes first
00:17:54.90\00:17:56.91
or they both come first?
00:17:56.94\00:17:58.34
How do you create a
song or it's just inspiration
00:17:58.37\00:18:00.68
so kind of helps you
and you just begin to do it?
00:18:00.71\00:18:02.51
Well, music in
general to me the message
00:18:02.54\00:18:05.01
is more important
and I will hear singers
00:18:05.05\00:18:08.08
that people say
even Christian singers,
00:18:08.12\00:18:09.98
oh, what a fabulous
singer, listen to this singer.
00:18:10.02\00:18:13.15
Well, they will go up
and when they are maybe
00:18:13.19\00:18:14.86
on some really high notes
00:18:14.89\00:18:16.22
I can't really
understand the words.
00:18:16.26\00:18:18.43
So I don't think
they are a great singer
00:18:18.46\00:18:21.06
and people is
like, don't you think
00:18:21.10\00:18:22.83
this person is a great singer?
00:18:22.86\00:18:25.17
No.
00:18:25.20\00:18:26.53
Do they have a great instrument?
00:18:26.57\00:18:28.17
Absolutely.
00:18:28.20\00:18:29.54
But what makes it great--
it's like a great preacher.
00:18:29.57\00:18:32.01
What if C.A., you get up
and you got all the moves
00:18:32.04\00:18:35.21
and I mean you
are really coming down
00:18:35.24\00:18:36.95
but I can't understand
half of what you are saying
00:18:36.98\00:18:39.91
then, you know, you are
not a great preacher to me
00:18:39.95\00:18:42.72
if that's what you are gonna do.
00:18:42.75\00:18:44.09
Yeah. So music is same way.
00:18:44.12\00:18:46.05
The devil has done everything
and in Christian music back in,
00:18:46.09\00:18:50.26
you know, 60s and 70s
started telling lies to people.
00:18:50.29\00:18:54.90
Hey, we got to look
and sound like the world.
00:18:54.93\00:18:57.27
And you get all these groups
00:18:57.30\00:18:58.63
and you don't know if
they are Christian groups
00:18:58.67\00:19:00.00
they call them Christian Rock.
00:19:00.04\00:19:01.50
I mean, just think about that,
that be like Christian sinner,
00:19:01.54\00:19:04.74
I'm a Christian
sinner to me, you know.
00:19:04.77\00:19:06.88
You know, what you
see is what you get.
00:19:06.91\00:19:09.34
I mean, you know, so
we do all these things
00:19:09.38\00:19:12.15
and we try to please
people rather than please God.
00:19:12.18\00:19:15.12
We forget the
importance of everything we do.
00:19:15.15\00:19:17.95
We are message driven.
00:19:17.99\00:19:20.06
So it's not how
good-- I have a--
00:19:20.09\00:19:22.86
so I'm not humble
because I know that
00:19:22.89\00:19:25.46
I have a good ear for music,
00:19:25.49\00:19:27.36
God has given me a good
ear here in the studios.
00:19:27.40\00:19:30.03
I mean, I can listen and
any instrument in orchestra
00:19:30.07\00:19:33.03
if somebody is out of
tune, one bad of the guitar
00:19:33.07\00:19:35.17
has got a E string I hear that
00:19:35.20\00:19:37.01
and I can say, hey, you
know, your E string is flat
00:19:37.04\00:19:40.54
or I will say the tuber
that you are sharp on that note.
00:19:40.58\00:19:44.01
You know, if it's an A
flat you got to do that again.
00:19:44.05\00:19:46.72
So I have that
ability as far as ear
00:19:46.75\00:19:51.52
because my ear is
good I realize I don't have
00:19:51.55\00:19:53.82
that great of an instrument.
00:19:53.86\00:19:55.29
So I try to be
objective to myself.
00:19:55.32\00:19:57.43
So, you know,
say me pushing myself
00:19:57.46\00:19:59.43
and pushing to sin
and I have over the years
00:19:59.46\00:20:02.60
because music help in
3ABN in the beginning.
00:20:02.63\00:20:05.63
Melody and I would
go to churches and sing
00:20:05.67\00:20:08.27
and that in itself
is one of reasons that
00:20:08.30\00:20:11.67
that I felt the need
that there need to be
00:20:11.71\00:20:13.54
a television station giving
00:20:13.58\00:20:15.11
the three angels'
messages to the world.
00:20:15.14\00:20:17.15
There was no
Adventist television stations
00:20:17.18\00:20:18.91
on planet earth yet
Melody and I were singing
00:20:18.95\00:20:21.68
on numbers of other TV stations
and I would say, Lord, well,
00:20:21.72\00:20:24.65
where are we as Seventh-day
Adventist in the media
00:20:24.69\00:20:27.99
and we want there.
00:20:28.02\00:20:29.36
So music helped and
when we went to church
00:20:29.39\00:20:31.46
as we would sing and
I would talk about 3ABN
00:20:31.49\00:20:34.33
but I do feel an anointing
when I sing and I dedicate
00:20:34.36\00:20:38.03
whatever I sing to the Lord.
00:20:38.07\00:20:40.04
So I say, Lord, don't
let the people hear me
00:20:40.07\00:20:42.37
let them hear what
You want them to hear.
00:20:42.40\00:20:45.37
So it's not about
how great you sing
00:20:45.41\00:20:48.01
for those of you out
there what great instrument.
00:20:48.04\00:20:50.21
I mean, you have people
who have the great instrument
00:20:50.25\00:20:53.68
and they have the talent.
00:20:53.72\00:20:55.05
You know, there
is Steve Darmody's
00:20:55.08\00:20:56.42
I mean, this guy
has incredible voice.
00:20:56.45\00:21:00.12
And he blesses
people but you don't have
00:21:00.16\00:21:02.96
to be a Steve Darmody to
get up and sing for the Lord.
00:21:02.99\00:21:07.00
You know, you don't have
to be anybody in particular
00:21:07.03\00:21:09.76
but whatever you
do keep your focus
00:21:09.80\00:21:11.87
on the message, on your music.
00:21:11.90\00:21:14.57
The music should be
lower then the words.
00:21:14.60\00:21:18.21
We go--
sometimes I go to churches
00:21:18.24\00:21:19.57
or I'm watching
television, Christina television
00:21:19.61\00:21:22.84
and you hear all
these great music
00:21:22.88\00:21:24.91
and you can hardly
hear the words, C.A.
00:21:24.95\00:21:26.28
Not worthy. Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:26.31\00:21:27.65
So I say, now what
good really is this doing
00:21:27.68\00:21:29.95
and even and let me
go little bit further
00:21:29.98\00:21:32.85
I get a few people
little bit maybe upset at me
00:21:32.89\00:21:36.19
but some of our
churches for some reason
00:21:36.22\00:21:38.59
we have this thing
about a piped organ.
00:21:38.63\00:21:41.23
Now this is
this great instrument
00:21:41.26\00:21:43.03
and this is the
way that you worship
00:21:43.06\00:21:44.73
some of our biggest
churches and I go in there
00:21:44.77\00:21:47.84
and the organ is so loud
00:21:47.87\00:21:50.71
that you can't
hear the people singing
00:21:50.74\00:21:52.47
and I can't hear myself singing
00:21:52.51\00:21:54.51
and we are doing
all of this stuff
00:21:54.54\00:21:55.94
and the organ is
just doing all this stuff
00:21:55.98\00:21:57.65
and I say to
myself, you now, honestly,
00:21:57.68\00:22:00.72
you know, what is going on here?
00:22:00.75\00:22:02.08
What have we missed?
00:22:02.12\00:22:03.45
Are we trying to
look like high church?
00:22:03.49\00:22:05.19
You know, is there a certain,
00:22:05.22\00:22:06.55
something we are
trying to emulate?
00:22:06.59\00:22:08.42
So let's forget about all that.
00:22:08.46\00:22:10.13
Let's just go
and praise the Lord
00:22:10.16\00:22:12.03
and just, you
know, I'm not saying
00:22:12.06\00:22:13.80
we shouldn't do that
type of music or whatever
00:22:13.83\00:22:15.76
but I'm saying let's
don't put so much emphasis
00:22:15.80\00:22:18.17
because the same
church if you went in
00:22:18.20\00:22:20.04
and took a soundtrack and
same way the people's like,
00:22:20.07\00:22:22.77
oh, we don't like those,
that track music it's too loud
00:22:22.80\00:22:27.01
but I can in and
church pipe organ sometimes
00:22:27.04\00:22:29.64
which just about deafen you,
00:22:29.68\00:22:31.18
you know, and it
will hurt your ears.
00:22:31.21\00:22:33.62
So it's a matter, but to me
00:22:33.65\00:22:35.45
it's always keep
the message first
00:22:35.48\00:22:38.15
no matter what I'm saying
00:22:38.19\00:22:39.52
and no matter
how many instruments
00:22:39.55\00:22:40.89
we've got behind us if
the music is overriding
00:22:40.92\00:22:44.59
then to me it's not effective.
00:22:44.63\00:22:46.39
Yah, yeah, I
agree and I have talked
00:22:46.43\00:22:48.06
with Steve Darmody
about this because I think
00:22:48.10\00:22:49.90
ministry
happens at the junction,
00:22:49.93\00:22:53.34
the interception of your
best effort surrendered to God
00:22:53.37\00:22:57.97
and then God
takes your best effort
00:22:58.01\00:22:59.84
ad you are surrendered spirit
and He turns that into ministry
00:22:59.87\00:23:03.14
and then people on the
consuming end are blessed
00:23:03.18\00:23:06.45
and you may not
have the greatest voice
00:23:06.48\00:23:09.15
or you may not have the greatest
00:23:09.18\00:23:10.52
even technical talent
but if you give God your best
00:23:10.55\00:23:13.39
and you surrender to
Him, He makes that ministry
00:23:13.42\00:23:15.76
and you are good
enough as you said,
00:23:15.79\00:23:18.33
you can hear and all of us here
00:23:18.36\00:23:20.50
who worked with you,
you can say amen to that.
00:23:20.53\00:23:22.66
you know one
suffering is out of tune
00:23:22.70\00:23:24.37
so God has given you that gift.
00:23:24.40\00:23:25.90
You turn around and
surrendered that gift
00:23:25.93\00:23:27.54
back to Him
00:23:27.57\00:23:28.90
and that turned
it into ministry.
00:23:28.94\00:23:30.27
Yeah, I really
enjoyed producing music like
00:23:30.31\00:23:33.71
working with the Lari Goss.
00:23:33.74\00:23:35.08
I mean, what an incredible,
00:23:35.11\00:23:36.75
you know, what an
incredible experience
00:23:36.78\00:23:39.18
that is to see a man
that so full of music
00:23:39.21\00:23:42.48
and able to put
it and write it down
00:23:42.52\00:23:46.12
and for people to play it
00:23:46.15\00:23:47.82
and, you know, to me
that's such great praise
00:23:47.86\00:23:50.43
and Lari was such a humble guy.
00:23:50.46\00:23:52.63
He gave all honor and glory.
00:23:52.66\00:23:54.06
He is also resting in the Lord
00:23:54.10\00:23:55.53
but he gave all honor and glory
and praise for what he does.
00:23:55.56\00:23:58.97
Somebody who never
really studied music,
00:23:59.00\00:24:00.84
didn't go to the
Juilliard School of Music
00:24:00.87\00:24:02.97
but on his own just
began to right out music
00:24:03.00\00:24:06.01
and says I don't know
how I did this and you know,
00:24:06.04\00:24:08.18
one of the
greatest rangers in America.
00:24:08.21\00:24:09.78
So we want to just
encourage you today
00:24:09.81\00:24:11.85
no matter what your talent
is, we were talking about music
00:24:11.88\00:24:14.48
could be something else.
00:24:14.52\00:24:15.85
If you give it to
God He is gonna bless it.
00:24:15.88\00:24:17.85
The blessing is on
the go and that's all--
00:24:17.89\00:24:20.36
Absolutely it's true.
The blessing is on the God.
00:24:20.39\00:24:23.53
So whatever you
do, whatever gifts God
00:24:23.56\00:24:25.86
has given you, you
need to work at it.
00:24:25.89\00:24:27.83
C.A. Murray, when you first came
00:24:27.86\00:24:29.70
I didn't know you as a singer.
00:24:29.73\00:24:31.67
I thought about
you as a preacher.
00:24:31.70\00:24:33.57
You sang with
Melody and I that time
00:24:33.60\00:24:35.17
I went to New York,
you know, when you sing
00:24:35.20\00:24:37.77
but when I heard you sing
it seems like you gotten better
00:24:37.81\00:24:41.48
over the last few years.
00:24:41.51\00:24:43.14
As you got older not
because you got older
00:24:43.18\00:24:46.01
but I think once you got
here we had you singing more
00:24:46.05\00:24:49.15
and ask you to sing more
00:24:49.18\00:24:50.52
and so your voice has developed.
00:24:50.55\00:24:52.32
Now you this and you
may have always had it
00:24:52.35\00:24:54.72
but I didn't hear
much of you singing.
00:24:54.76\00:24:56.76
But now when I hear you sing
I say, he's got a nice voice.
00:24:56.79\00:24:59.59
C.A. has got a pretty voice.
You sing and you minister.
00:24:59.63\00:25:03.10
While you are singing
to me that's so important
00:25:03.13\00:25:05.13
so thank you for what you do
and you didn't limit yourself
00:25:05.17\00:25:09.07
to just preaching.
00:25:09.10\00:25:10.84
Well, thank you for pushing me.
00:25:10.87\00:25:13.17
Because it
wasn't, it wasn't easy
00:25:13.21\00:25:15.64
but I agree with
you that doing it
00:25:15.68\00:25:18.15
and surrendering it to
God that makes it ministry.
00:25:18.18\00:25:21.32
You got a technical
gift, God has given you this.
00:25:21.35\00:25:24.69
You take that
give it back to Him
00:25:24.72\00:25:26.55
and then it becomes ministry.
00:25:26.59\00:25:27.92
I want to talk
about your writing
00:25:27.96\00:25:29.29
because while Jim was here
you had a chance to step back
00:25:29.32\00:25:33.09
from the day to day operations
and you used that time
00:25:33.13\00:25:36.87
really to a flurry of
songs and projects came out.
00:25:36.90\00:25:41.60
All of them
have been a blessing.
00:25:41.64\00:25:42.97
You talk about some
things just personal
00:25:43.00\00:25:44.34
but a lot of this stuff has
been a blessing to the world.
00:25:44.37\00:25:47.31
Just got back from California
last week on Friday evening
00:25:47.34\00:25:51.35
for I spoke someone
sang a Pillars of Peace.
00:25:51.38\00:25:54.08
Over the London a few years ago
00:25:54.12\00:25:55.45
someone singing
Pillars of Music,
00:25:55.48\00:25:56.82
so that things that
are being produced here
00:25:56.85\00:25:59.25
are going around the world
00:25:59.29\00:26:00.92
and they are blessing
people around the world.
00:26:00.96\00:26:02.82
Well, it's a
privilege for me to work
00:26:02.86\00:26:05.49
and be able to do
this and with Jim here
00:26:05.53\00:26:07.40
for those many years
because he's retired now
00:26:07.43\00:26:09.93
so I'm back in that I
don't know how many songs
00:26:09.96\00:26:12.17
I be writing now
because I'm in there
00:26:12.20\00:26:14.64
everyday looking
over the finances
00:26:14.67\00:26:16.14
and everything in
the entire ministry
00:26:16.17\00:26:18.27
but, you know, I find myself,
00:26:18.31\00:26:20.21
one day I was
just humming this song
00:26:20.24\00:26:22.48
and I said this turned
out to be a children's song,
00:26:22.51\00:26:25.11
you know, and I
said, well, the Lord
00:26:25.15\00:26:27.08
don't usually give
me children's songs
00:26:27.12\00:26:28.95
so I just kind of filed
it didn't think much about it
00:26:28.98\00:26:31.89
and seem like a week or so
later here come another song
00:26:31.92\00:26:35.56
and then another
song and another song
00:26:35.59\00:26:37.13
and what it happened
is as I began to travel
00:26:37.16\00:26:39.76
from church to church
and meet young people I said,
00:26:39.79\00:26:42.66
young people don't
have their eyes on Jesus.
00:26:42.70\00:26:45.20
They are not looking to Jesus,
they are looking to the world.
00:26:45.23\00:26:48.70
The music they listen to,
00:26:48.74\00:26:50.11
all the social media they are on
00:26:50.14\00:26:51.91
everything is pointing
them away from the Bible
00:26:51.94\00:26:55.04
and particular as Seventh-day
Adventist young people
00:26:55.08\00:26:57.81
they are looking
away to other areas
00:26:57.85\00:27:01.92
rather than to
stick with the truths
00:27:01.95\00:27:03.69
that God has
given us to proclaim.
00:27:03.72\00:27:05.72
And so it's like the
Lord began to give me songs.
00:27:05.75\00:27:07.96
He gave me songs on
different doctrinal subjects.
00:27:07.99\00:27:12.06
On the Sabbath,
the state of the dead,
00:27:12.09\00:27:14.00
you know, salvation,
the second coming of Christ.
00:27:14.03\00:27:17.20
And so these
songs began to flow out
00:27:17.23\00:27:19.80
and so we put together a
little project, the first one
00:27:19.83\00:27:23.61
and so we got
enough songs to do.
00:27:23.64\00:27:25.47
I said, hey, we
can do a whole project
00:27:25.51\00:27:27.11
and we entitled it "Love Rules"
00:27:27.14\00:27:28.98
because it's telling you
that Jesus since God says,
00:27:29.01\00:27:31.81
He is love, God is love
that He rules the universe.
00:27:31.85\00:27:35.75
The devil may think he does
00:27:35.78\00:27:37.32
and rules our
life but he doesn't.
00:27:37.35\00:27:39.39
In the end and
always from the beginning
00:27:39.42\00:27:41.92
to the end God rules.
00:27:41.96\00:27:43.46
So we say, okay, if God
is love then love rules.
00:27:43.49\00:27:48.06
And love is the, you
know, universal language
00:27:48.10\00:27:51.20
and so we come
up with that project
00:27:51.23\00:27:53.10
and so we did that I
think about three years ago,
00:27:53.13\00:27:55.64
made a DVD then
this past year we've done
00:27:55.67\00:27:58.34
what's called
"It's A Beautiful World."
00:27:58.37\00:28:00.24
And another 10 or
11 songs came to me
00:28:00.28\00:28:03.28
and C.A., I didn't
have to work at them.
00:28:03.31\00:28:05.01
These songs literally
sometimes they were 30 minutes.
00:28:05.05\00:28:07.65
I hope they
don't sound like them,
00:28:07.68\00:28:09.65
they were 30 minutes
00:28:09.68\00:28:11.72
and we will do a couple of those
00:28:11.75\00:28:13.15
if you want to a few of them.
00:28:13.19\00:28:14.66
Yeah. Yeah. And--
00:28:14.69\00:28:16.02
Let's do Love Rules
because that was, that was
00:28:16.06\00:28:18.56
and is a big project
and before we go to that
00:28:18.59\00:28:21.10
I want to ask you
from start to finish
00:28:21.13\00:28:25.37
ten songs Love Rules
how much we talk about,
00:28:25.40\00:28:27.67
how many months, how many
years are we talking about.
00:28:27.70\00:28:29.40
Oh, no, probably,
you know, in a matter
00:28:29.44\00:28:31.67
of two or three months as for us
00:28:31.71\00:28:33.11
getting the songs together
00:28:33.14\00:28:35.04
and then after that recording
it took some time to do that
00:28:35.08\00:28:37.81
because you go on the
studio and then, you know,
00:28:37.85\00:28:39.75
you put it lay down the
tracks and you get a lead vocal
00:28:39.78\00:28:42.22
and then a couple of harmonies
00:28:42.25\00:28:43.59
and you bring
kids in and do that
00:28:43.62\00:28:45.32
and then later you
bring them in to do a DVD.
00:28:45.35\00:28:48.12
So it takes a
period of months to do it
00:28:48.16\00:28:50.96
and it was a lot of work
but wow, what fun it was to
00:28:50.99\00:28:55.10
and to see these young
people and the way I gauged it
00:28:55.13\00:28:58.63
whether the songs would
work or not as I would put them,
00:28:58.67\00:29:02.17
I put them on just a
lead vocal with a piano
00:29:02.20\00:29:05.47
and when my
grandkids are around,
00:29:05.51\00:29:07.24
the young ones I would play it
00:29:07.28\00:29:09.38
and then I would
hear them singing it.
00:29:09.41\00:29:11.11
"Isn't it cool that
love rules, isn't it great,"
00:29:11.15\00:29:15.08
you know, and so I
said, okay, that works.
00:29:15.12\00:29:16.99
That's your focus.
00:29:17.02\00:29:18.35
The kids are
going around the house
00:29:18.39\00:29:19.72
and the kids are
singing the music.
00:29:19.75\00:29:21.39
So I would test these
different songs on the babies
00:29:21.42\00:29:24.26
and when they started singing
00:29:24.29\00:29:25.69
I said, okay,
these are gonna work.
00:29:25.73\00:29:27.33
They got something.
00:29:27.36\00:29:28.70
Yeah, the Lord
gave me this project
00:29:28.73\00:29:30.07
but I did it for a reason.
00:29:30.10\00:29:31.43
It's not just to
get music out there
00:29:31.47\00:29:33.20
it's to get the word into these
00:29:33.23\00:29:34.97
and particularly to get
certain beliefs in the Bible
00:29:35.00\00:29:38.57
that salvation is important
00:29:38.61\00:29:40.28
no matter what
denomination you are
00:29:40.31\00:29:42.28
but true is God has given us.
00:29:42.31\00:29:43.68
What happens to
you when you die?
00:29:43.71\00:29:45.45
I mean, all of these things,
even some of them about our
00:29:45.48\00:29:49.45
taking care of
body, even what we eat.
00:29:49.48\00:29:51.92
And so all of these
songs were written for a reason
00:29:51.95\00:29:55.02
and that's to help
these young people.
00:29:55.06\00:29:57.23
You train up a
child when he was young
00:29:57.26\00:29:59.39
so when he is
old he won't depart.
00:29:59.43\00:30:00.76
So we have to--
if want these kids
00:30:00.80\00:30:03.00
to love Jesus and to serve Him
00:30:03.03\00:30:05.20
we have to put
the word into them
00:30:05.23\00:30:07.30
while they are young and
that's the purpose of this.
00:30:07.34\00:30:09.80
Yeah. So which
one you want to do?
00:30:09.84\00:30:12.31
It's a great song.
00:30:12.34\00:30:13.68
Let's take the
title cut, "Love Rules"
00:30:13.71\00:30:15.18
wonderful piece here it is.
00:30:15.21\00:30:17.38
There are rules at
home and rules at school
00:30:25.45\00:30:29.26
Rules on the
playground and rules in the pool
00:30:29.29\00:30:33.70
But there is one
rule that is the best
00:30:33.73\00:30:37.37
And if you keep this
rule you will be blessed
00:30:37.40\00:30:42.97
Isn't it true that love rules?
00:30:43.00\00:30:47.21
Isn't it great there is
no hate where love rules
00:30:47.24\00:30:54.35
It's no accident you see
00:30:54.38\00:30:57.92
That's the way it's meant to be
00:30:57.95\00:31:01.72
Since God is love, love rules
00:31:01.76\00:31:08.36
Love rules
00:31:08.40\00:31:12.13
There are rules for
this and rules for that
00:31:12.17\00:31:15.90
There are even
rules for dogs and cats
00:31:15.94\00:31:19.44
There are some we
like and some we don't
00:31:19.47\00:31:23.31
Some we'll keep
and some we won't
00:31:23.35\00:31:27.58
But there is one
rule that is the best
00:31:27.62\00:31:31.15
And if you keep this
rule you will be blessed
00:31:31.19\00:31:36.69
Isn't it true that love rules?
00:31:36.73\00:31:41.10
Isn't it great there is
no hate where love rules
00:31:41.13\00:31:48.20
It's no accident you see
00:31:48.24\00:31:51.61
That's the way it's meant to be
00:31:51.64\00:31:55.48
Since God is love, love rules
00:31:55.51\00:32:01.98
Love rules
00:32:02.02\00:32:06.59
Now the Bible
tells of God's great love
00:32:06.62\00:32:13.83
How Jesus came from heaven above
00:32:13.86\00:32:19.93
He gave His life on Calvary
00:32:22.30\00:32:25.91
He died that day so
the whole world could see
00:32:25.94\00:32:31.55
Isn't it true that love rules?
00:32:31.58\00:32:35.85
Isn't it great there is
no hate where love rules
00:32:35.88\00:32:42.92
It's no accident you see
00:32:42.96\00:32:46.49
That's the way it's meant to be
00:32:46.53\00:32:50.40
Since God is love
00:32:50.43\00:32:53.54
Isn't it true that love rules?
00:32:53.57\00:32:57.87
Isn't it great there is
no hate where love rules
00:32:57.91\00:33:04.95
It's no accident you see
00:33:04.98\00:33:08.52
That's the way it's meant to be
00:33:08.55\00:33:12.35
Since God is love, love rules
00:33:12.39\00:33:18.96
Love rules Love rules
00:33:18.99\00:33:24.93
Love rules Love rules
00:33:26.07\00:33:34.04
It's a great song and you put
00:33:34.08\00:33:35.74
the scripture passage
just right there in the song
00:33:35.78\00:33:38.35
so that as the children
are rehearsing the music
00:33:38.38\00:33:41.32
actually putting the Bible
00:33:41.35\00:33:42.98
right into their
minds at the same time.
00:33:43.02\00:33:44.95
Yeah, almost every
song you will see scripture
00:33:44.99\00:33:47.49
and all the rest of these,
00:33:47.52\00:33:48.86
for instance we are gonna do one
00:33:48.89\00:33:50.23
"Love God and
keep His Commandments"
00:33:50.26\00:33:52.13
and my grandkids
the youngest ones
00:33:52.16\00:33:54.13
I think they are five or
six, four or five at a time
00:33:54.16\00:33:56.87
they literally
learned the long version
00:33:56.90\00:33:59.03
of the Ten Commandments
00:33:59.07\00:34:00.40
that most of us
adults have a hard time with.
00:34:00.44\00:34:03.20
And so that was the purpose
00:34:03.24\00:34:04.57
as let's train up the
child in the way he should go.
00:34:04.61\00:34:06.78
Yeah, love it, let's do
00:34:06.81\00:34:08.14
"Love God and
keep His Commandments"
00:34:08.18\00:34:09.74
then I want to ask you
about a totally different song
00:34:09.78\00:34:12.28
that you did called
"America We Are One"
00:34:12.31\00:34:14.25
whole different
genre, whole different place.
00:34:14.28\00:34:16.55
A big piece, you know, we
are gonna talk about that.
00:34:16.58\00:34:18.95
Right now, "Love God
Keep His Commandments."
00:34:18.99\00:34:22.22
Love God and
keep His commandments
00:34:31.83\00:34:36.40
This is the duty of man
00:34:36.44\00:34:40.64
Hear God and
keep His commandments
00:34:40.68\00:34:45.05
They are His gift to man
00:34:45.08\00:34:49.88
Love the Lord
with all your heart
00:34:49.92\00:34:53.09
And love your
neighbors as yourself
00:34:53.12\00:34:58.03
Blessed are they
that do His commandments
00:34:58.06\00:35:02.66
These are the children of God
00:35:02.70\00:35:10.67
The laws of God are His promises
00:35:13.07\00:35:17.58
To guide and protect us from sin
00:35:17.61\00:35:22.05
The law of God is ever lasting
00:35:22.08\00:35:26.62
With no beginning or end
00:35:26.65\00:35:31.29
Love the Lord
with all your heart
00:35:31.33\00:35:34.60
And love your
neighbors as yourself
00:35:34.63\00:35:39.50
Blessed are they
that do His commandments
00:35:39.53\00:35:44.11
These are the children of God
00:35:44.14\00:35:50.31
Exodus 20:1-17 commandment one,
00:35:50.35\00:35:55.35
"I am the Lord your God,
00:35:55.38\00:35:57.15
who brought you out
of the land of Egypt,
00:35:57.19\00:35:59.89
out of the house of bondage.
00:35:59.92\00:36:02.16
You shall have no
other gods before Me."
00:36:02.19\00:36:05.26
Commandment two,
"You shall not make
00:36:05.29\00:36:07.40
for yourself a carved
image any likeness of anything
00:36:07.43\00:36:10.80
that is in heaven above,
00:36:10.83\00:36:12.17
or that is in the earth beneath,
00:36:12.20\00:36:13.90
or that is in the
water under the earth,
00:36:13.94\00:36:15.97
you shall not bow down
to them nor serve them.
00:36:16.00\00:36:18.61
For I, the Lord your
God, am a jealous God,
00:36:18.64\00:36:21.54
visiting the
iniquity of the fathers
00:36:21.58\00:36:23.45
upon the children to the
third and fourth generations
00:36:23.48\00:36:26.15
of those who hate Me, and
showing mercy to thousands,
00:36:26.18\00:36:29.22
to those who love Me
and keep My commandments."
00:36:29.25\00:36:32.02
Commandment three,
"You shall not take
00:36:32.05\00:36:34.19
the name of the
Lord your God in vain,
00:36:34.22\00:36:36.52
for the Lord will
not hold him guiltless
00:36:36.56\00:36:38.86
who takes His name in vain."
00:36:38.89\00:36:41.06
Commandment four
"Remember the Sabbath day,
00:36:41.10\00:36:44.27
to keep it holy.
00:36:44.30\00:36:45.63
Six days you shall
labor and do all your work,
00:36:45.67\00:36:48.34
but the seventh
day is the Sabbath
00:36:48.37\00:36:50.34
of the Lord your God.
00:36:50.37\00:36:51.84
In it you shall do no
work: you, nor your son,
00:36:51.87\00:36:55.18
nor your daughter,
nor your male servant,
00:36:55.21\00:36:57.48
nor your female
servant, nor your cattle,
00:36:57.51\00:37:00.08
nor your stranger
who is within your gates.
00:37:00.12\00:37:02.48
For in six days the Lord
made the heavens and the earth,
00:37:02.52\00:37:06.09
the sea, and
all that is in them,
00:37:06.12\00:37:08.39
and rested the seventh day.
00:37:08.42\00:37:10.23
Therefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day
00:37:10.26\00:37:12.69
and hallowed it."
00:37:12.73\00:37:14.30
Commandment five,
00:37:14.33\00:37:15.70
"Honor your
father and your mother,
00:37:15.73\00:37:17.83
that your days may
be long upon the land
00:37:17.87\00:37:21.10
which the Lord
your God is giving you."
00:37:21.14\00:37:24.21
Commandment six,
"You shall not murder."
00:37:24.24\00:37:27.21
Commandment seven,
00:37:27.24\00:37:28.58
"You shall not commit adultery."
00:37:28.61\00:37:31.05
Commandment eight
"You shall not steal."
00:37:31.08\00:37:34.12
Commandment nine,
00:37:34.15\00:37:35.48
"You shall not
bear false witness
00:37:35.52\00:37:37.69
against your neighbor."
00:37:37.72\00:37:39.25
Commandment ten, "You
shall not covet anything
00:37:39.29\00:37:42.36
that is your neighbors."
00:37:42.39\00:37:46.53
Love the Lord
with all your heart
00:37:46.56\00:37:49.70
And love your
neighbors as yourself
00:37:49.73\00:37:54.64
Blessed are they
that do His commandments
00:37:54.67\00:37:59.51
These are the children of God
00:37:59.54\00:38:03.58
These are the children of God
00:38:03.61\00:38:07.75
These are the children of God
00:38:07.78\00:38:14.49
Yeah, good stuff,
Danny. Very, very, good stuff.
00:38:24.00\00:38:27.14
I talked about-- I
mentioned just before
00:38:27.17\00:38:30.67
the song "American We Are
One" another big piece of music,
00:38:30.71\00:38:36.24
greatly orchestrated
just a powerful piece.
00:38:36.28\00:38:38.15
Of course, you
can see it on YouTube.
00:38:38.18\00:38:39.71
How long did it
take you to do that?
00:38:39.75\00:38:41.88
That song actually
was on Fourth of July
00:38:41.92\00:38:45.05
and, you know, which is a
celebration here in America.
00:38:45.09\00:38:48.56
This is not a song for
everybody around the world
00:38:48.59\00:38:50.83
but I was thinking
about, you know, how divisive
00:38:50.86\00:38:54.03
and this country had divided,
00:38:54.06\00:38:56.30
it's becoming
and for a long time
00:38:56.33\00:38:58.63
it's nothing new but it seems
00:38:58.67\00:39:00.44
it gets worse and
worse and of course,
00:39:00.47\00:39:02.00
we understand from the
Bible that's gonna happen
00:39:02.04\00:39:04.81
but, you know,
this thought came to me,
00:39:04.84\00:39:06.81
you know, America
was supposed to be one
00:39:06.84\00:39:09.01
and the reason
that's important is
00:39:09.04\00:39:10.71
because when we
were one nation under God
00:39:10.75\00:39:14.15
which is what's taken
out now, one nation under God
00:39:14.18\00:39:17.79
that's when we
have religious liberty.
00:39:17.82\00:39:20.49
You have your freedom
00:39:20.52\00:39:21.86
and you can build
networks like 3ABN
00:39:21.89\00:39:23.86
and go to the
world but I see that
00:39:23.89\00:39:25.76
being taken away from us now.
00:39:25.79\00:39:28.20
So to me "American we are
one, one nation under God"
00:39:28.23\00:39:32.53
that theme as long as
we can do these things
00:39:32.57\00:39:36.20
and have the freedom
so we are better to be,
00:39:36.24\00:39:38.94
be working together
instead of fighting each other
00:39:38.97\00:39:41.88
and, you know, I
don't what we will do
00:39:41.91\00:39:43.45
but we put it on
YouTube and it's got hundred
00:39:43.48\00:39:47.02
and some thousand hits without
really promoting it that much.
00:39:47.05\00:39:50.59
But it's just for people
basically here in the States
00:39:50.62\00:39:52.99
and I don't know,
something we did it
00:39:53.02\00:39:54.96
hit me Fourth of July
00:39:54.99\00:39:56.32
and Lari Goss
did a fabulous job.
00:39:56.36\00:39:57.69
So you can actually look at up,
00:39:57.73\00:39:59.19
"American We Are
One" Yvonne Lewis
00:39:59.23\00:40:01.43
and Yvonne does a
fantastic job singing on YouTube
00:40:01.46\00:40:05.53
if you want to watch it.
00:40:05.57\00:40:06.90
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:06.94\00:40:08.27
And then under the
same inspiration umbrella
00:40:08.30\00:40:11.37
I will say, it's a
beautiful work that came out
00:40:11.41\00:40:15.14
and seemed to come out
even faster than Love Rules
00:40:15.18\00:40:19.41
but we look up
here's another project
00:40:19.45\00:40:22.95
of really great
music and great songs.
00:40:22.98\00:40:24.62
Talk to us a
little about the kids.
00:40:24.65\00:40:25.99
For kids, and again I don't know
00:40:26.02\00:40:27.36
why other than I have
a burden for young people
00:40:27.39\00:40:29.42
I see my own grandchildren
00:40:29.46\00:40:31.09
and I want to
see them have tools
00:40:31.13\00:40:34.06
that help lead them
to Jesus rather than,
00:40:34.10\00:40:36.03
you know when
we got to computers
00:40:36.06\00:40:37.63
and the phones and,
you know, all these things,
00:40:37.67\00:40:40.10
I mean, kids going
to games everything
00:40:40.14\00:40:42.94
nothing points you to Jesus
00:40:42.97\00:40:45.14
and point you to
specific doctrines
00:40:45.17\00:40:47.28
that we believe and
hold fast in this church
00:40:47.31\00:40:50.51
because we believe as a church
God has people in all churches
00:40:50.55\00:40:53.72
but we believe that
00:40:53.75\00:40:55.08
that the
Seventh-day Adventist church
00:40:55.12\00:40:56.45
is an end times church
for an end times people,
00:40:56.48\00:40:58.55
we have an end time
message for an end times people
00:40:58.59\00:41:01.26
and so we want our children
00:41:01.29\00:41:02.82
to understand that as they grow.
00:41:02.86\00:41:05.16
So now there is
such huge controversy,
00:41:05.19\00:41:07.76
there wasn't 40, 50 years ago,
00:41:07.80\00:41:09.33
I mean, there was but much less.
00:41:09.36\00:41:12.87
A Creator-- is
there a God and is there--
00:41:12.90\00:41:15.87
does is God a Creator.
00:41:15.90\00:41:17.91
It's like to us
that's, duh, we knew that one
00:41:17.94\00:41:20.38
when we were little
kids, but now I mean, it's so--
00:41:20.41\00:41:24.61
I said, you know,
even within our church
00:41:24.65\00:41:27.02
we hearing people say,
00:41:27.05\00:41:28.38
well, you know,
maybe God created He did
00:41:28.42\00:41:30.52
but we might
have took a million,
00:41:30.55\00:41:32.52
taken a millions of
years and might this and that.
00:41:32.55\00:41:35.26
And I said, okay,
we got to do something
00:41:35.29\00:41:36.62
for the young people so
I got to thinking about it
00:41:36.66\00:41:39.33
and the Lord gave me this
song "It's A Beautiful World"
00:41:39.36\00:41:43.16
and so it goes
through each day of creation.
00:41:43.20\00:41:46.30
So when we play
it for the young kids
00:41:46.33\00:41:48.27
it reinforces the
Bible and what God did
00:41:48.30\00:41:51.97
and helps us each to
understand what did on each day,
00:41:52.01\00:41:56.14
each 24 hour day of
creation what God did.
00:41:56.18\00:42:01.08
So I didn't intent to
do another whole project
00:42:01.12\00:42:03.32
but right after
that another song,
00:42:03.35\00:42:05.35
"You Are What You Eat"
00:42:05.39\00:42:06.72
and I'm like what
in the world is this.
00:42:06.76\00:42:08.42
These thoughts
whether I'm traveling
00:42:08.46\00:42:10.53
something I would
get a piece of paper
00:42:10.56\00:42:11.89
and write them down
00:42:11.93\00:42:13.26
and so we just titled
this brand new project
00:42:13.29\00:42:17.50
the DVD is actually
just now coming out,
00:42:17.53\00:42:20.67
being pressed up.
00:42:20.70\00:42:22.44
We've had the CD out for bit,
00:42:22.47\00:42:23.81
we just God all the kids
and I so thank all of the kids
00:42:23.84\00:42:27.38
for their giving their time
and their abilities, Love Rules
00:42:27.41\00:42:30.01
and also "It's Beautiful World"
00:42:30.05\00:42:31.81
they traveled lot of them
from several states around,
00:42:31.85\00:42:34.22
they come here to
help us in this project.
00:42:34.25\00:42:36.69
So the latest one
"It's A Beautiful World."
00:42:36.72\00:42:38.99
Yeah. I like the sentiment.
00:42:39.02\00:42:40.36
Let me put you on a spot
for just a little bit, Danny,
00:42:40.39\00:42:41.92
because what you
say the present says,
00:42:41.96\00:42:44.29
you know, you look around
it's not a beautiful world,
00:42:44.33\00:42:45.99
it's not a
beautiful world at all.
00:42:46.03\00:42:47.36
How do you get to say
given what we see everyday
00:42:47.40\00:42:49.46
it's a beautiful world?
00:42:49.50\00:42:50.83
That's because you
look in the spiritual
00:42:50.87\00:42:52.83
and you look
through spiritual eyes
00:42:52.87\00:42:54.47
and that's what we
have, the Bible says,
00:42:54.50\00:42:56.00
"we fight not
against flesh and blood,
00:42:56.04\00:42:58.57
the power is in principalities."
00:42:58.61\00:43:00.88
So as a Christian
we are able to look
00:43:00.91\00:43:03.68
into the spiritual world
and it's a beautiful world.
00:43:03.71\00:43:06.78
God created a beautiful world
but we don't see it every day.
00:43:06.82\00:43:10.29
There are still beauty around us
00:43:10.32\00:43:12.39
but the Bible says,
00:43:12.42\00:43:13.76
"Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard,
00:43:13.79\00:43:15.22
neither that entered
into the heart of man,
00:43:15.26\00:43:17.36
things which God hath prepared
for them that love him."
00:43:17.39\00:43:20.60
So now I can look around,
00:43:20.63\00:43:22.00
we all can see
these beautiful things
00:43:22.03\00:43:24.03
but, you know
what, the devil gets us
00:43:24.07\00:43:25.83
so caught up about me, myself
00:43:25.87\00:43:27.94
and I that we don't see
this beautiful world around us.
00:43:27.97\00:43:31.37
And I told the story
once that when you go
00:43:31.41\00:43:34.18
and be in the little town close
to it's here about eight miles
00:43:34.21\00:43:37.51
that's called the Square
and just the other side of it
00:43:37.55\00:43:40.28
people are shocked
when they come here
00:43:40.32\00:43:42.35
there is a hangs
man noose out there
00:43:42.38\00:43:44.99
and there is a,
there is the big scaffold
00:43:45.02\00:43:47.16
where they actually hung a guy
whose name was Charlie Birger
00:43:47.19\00:43:50.43
and it was the last guy
in the State of Illinois
00:43:50.46\00:43:53.70
and I think
several thousand people
00:43:53.73\00:43:55.10
come to watch this
guy be hung, right.
00:43:55.13\00:43:57.80
But here is a guy
who was a gangster,
00:43:57.83\00:43:59.80
they arrived with a Shelton gang
00:43:59.83\00:44:01.54
and I'm sorry but
the Shelton, the name,
00:44:01.57\00:44:03.91
you know, but the Shelton gang
00:44:03.94\00:44:05.37
there was a
Shelton's and Birger's
00:44:05.41\00:44:06.74
and they were bootleggers
00:44:06.78\00:44:08.11
and they all
fought against each other
00:44:08.14\00:44:09.68
and there are books written,
all kinds of books written
00:44:09.71\00:44:11.61
about the Shelton
gang and the Birger's
00:44:11.65\00:44:13.62
but they hung Charlie
Birger and but there is a guy
00:44:13.65\00:44:17.72
that they take
him up the scaffold
00:44:17.75\00:44:19.95
according to stories,
they take him up the scaffold,
00:44:19.99\00:44:22.62
he is standing there,
they are getting ready
00:44:22.66\00:44:24.09
to put the blindfolds on him.
00:44:24.13\00:44:25.79
They say, do you
have any last words
00:44:25.83\00:44:29.10
and, you know, what
he says, he looks around,
00:44:29.13\00:44:30.73
he says it's a beautiful world.
00:44:30.77\00:44:33.23
And I said here is a guy
that he knows within ten seconds
00:44:33.27\00:44:36.81
he is gonna be dead
00:44:36.84\00:44:38.41
but now he is appreciating
that beautiful world.
00:44:38.44\00:44:41.44
We are still here there
is no noose around our neck
00:44:41.48\00:44:44.11
and we can't even see the
beautiful world around us.
00:44:44.15\00:44:46.88
So something about that hit me,
00:44:46.92\00:44:48.45
that's amazing this guy
because it was too late,
00:44:48.48\00:44:51.95
he saw it too late.
00:44:51.99\00:44:53.32
You think he
wouldn't change his life
00:44:53.36\00:44:54.96
right then if they said, okay,
00:44:54.99\00:44:56.32
we are gonna
take this off of you.
00:44:56.36\00:44:57.69
I got to feel and he would
00:44:57.73\00:44:59.06
because he had
sense enough to say,
00:44:59.09\00:45:00.53
it's a beautiful world
00:45:00.56\00:45:02.26
and that says
all kinds of things.
00:45:02.30\00:45:04.37
So here as Christians
00:45:04.40\00:45:05.73
no matter what's
going on around us,
00:45:05.77\00:45:07.37
maybe the devil you think
00:45:07.40\00:45:08.74
he's got noose
around us but he doesn't.
00:45:08.77\00:45:10.31
He is powerless when we
come in the name of the Lord
00:45:10.34\00:45:13.01
and we can rebuke him.
00:45:13.04\00:45:14.84
And so we can look around
and say, it's a beautiful world
00:45:14.88\00:45:18.31
and we also can
look into the future
00:45:18.35\00:45:20.92
where there is no more sickness,
00:45:20.95\00:45:22.28
no more pain, no more
sorrow, no more death.
00:45:22.32\00:45:24.75
It is indeed a beautiful
world. All right, well said.
00:45:24.79\00:45:27.79
Let's look at it just
now, "It's A Beautiful World."
00:45:27.82\00:45:31.66
It's a beautiful
world that God made
00:45:42.10\00:45:47.48
Just for you and for me
00:45:47.51\00:45:50.98
He created all in six days
00:45:51.01\00:45:56.32
I have faith to believe
00:45:56.35\00:46:00.16
The Bible will tells the story
00:46:00.19\00:46:04.46
Of God's great power and glory
00:46:04.49\00:46:09.56
He made a light,
the earth and sea
00:46:09.60\00:46:13.94
He made the flowers
and the buzzing bumble bee
00:46:13.97\00:46:19.74
It's a beautiful
world that God made
00:46:19.77\00:46:25.08
Just for you and for me
00:46:25.11\00:46:29.25
God created
everything in just six days.
00:46:29.28\00:46:32.25
On the first day
God created light
00:46:32.29\00:46:34.82
and on the second day,
He made the heavenly skies,
00:46:34.86\00:46:38.29
on the third day
He created the grass,
00:46:38.33\00:46:40.46
the trees, and the plants.
00:46:40.50\00:46:42.26
On the fourth day
He created the sun,
00:46:42.30\00:46:44.87
the moon and the stars.
00:46:44.90\00:46:46.97
And on the fifth
day God created the fish
00:46:47.00\00:46:49.64
and all the wonderful
sea creators in the water.
00:46:49.67\00:46:52.67
And He created all
the birds in the air.
00:46:52.71\00:46:57.41
It's a beautiful
world that God made
00:46:57.45\00:47:02.82
Just for you and for me
00:47:02.85\00:47:06.22
He created all in six days
00:47:06.25\00:47:11.63
I have faith to believe
00:47:11.66\00:47:15.43
The Bible will tells the story
00:47:15.46\00:47:20.00
Of God's great power and glory
00:47:20.04\00:47:24.84
He made a light,
the earth and sea
00:47:24.87\00:47:29.28
He made the flowers
and the buzzing bumble bee
00:47:29.31\00:47:35.08
It's a beautiful
world that God made
00:47:35.12\00:47:40.39
Just for you and for me
00:47:40.42\00:47:43.79
And on the sixth day He created
00:47:43.83\00:47:45.59
all the beautiful
animal life on the earth.
00:47:45.63\00:47:48.66
But He also created
something very special
00:47:48.70\00:47:51.50
that sixth day.
00:47:51.53\00:47:53.07
Yes, special and
dear to the heart of God,
00:47:53.10\00:47:56.30
you guessed it He
created you and me.
00:47:56.34\00:48:02.01
The Bible will tells the story
00:48:02.04\00:48:06.38
Of God's great power and glory
00:48:06.41\00:48:11.39
He made a light,
the earth and sea
00:48:11.42\00:48:15.92
He made the flowers
and the buzzing bumble bee
00:48:15.96\00:48:21.63
It's a beautiful
world that God made
00:48:21.66\00:48:26.80
Just for you and for me
00:48:26.84\00:48:30.71
After creating
everything in just six days
00:48:30.74\00:48:34.04
the Bible says that God rested.
00:48:34.08\00:48:36.48
Let's read about
it in Genesis 2:1-3.
00:48:36.51\00:48:40.22
"Thus the heavens and
the earth were finished,
00:48:40.25\00:48:42.42
and all the host of them.
00:48:42.45\00:48:44.29
And on the seventh
day God ended His work
00:48:44.32\00:48:46.55
which He had made, and He rested
00:48:46.59\00:48:49.22
on the seventh
day from all His work
00:48:49.26\00:48:51.09
which He had made.
00:48:51.13\00:48:52.46
And God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it,
00:48:52.49\00:48:55.60
because that in it He had rested
00:48:55.63\00:48:57.67
from all His work
which God created and made."
00:48:57.70\00:49:03.51
It's a beautiful
world that God made
00:49:03.54\00:49:08.88
Just for you and for me
00:49:08.91\00:49:12.51
He created all in six days
00:49:12.55\00:49:17.85
I have faith to believe
00:49:17.89\00:49:21.32
It's a beautiful world
00:49:21.36\00:49:23.63
Such a beautiful world
00:49:23.66\00:49:25.89
It's a beautiful
world It's a beautiful world
00:49:25.93\00:49:30.33
It's a beautiful world
00:49:30.37\00:49:32.43
Such a beautiful world
00:49:32.47\00:49:34.70
It's a beautiful
world It's a beautiful world
00:49:34.74\00:49:39.14
It's a beautiful
world Such a beautiful world
00:49:39.17\00:49:44.81
You know, Danny,
when you hear that song
00:49:44.85\00:49:46.18
you almost
believe it is a beautiful.
00:49:46.21\00:49:47.85
In fact, it is a beautiful world
00:49:47.88\00:49:49.22
and look through the spiritual.
00:49:49.25\00:49:50.89
Well, done.
00:49:50.92\00:49:52.25
This particular project
from first song to last song
00:49:52.29\00:49:54.62
how long took to write this one.
00:49:54.66\00:49:56.39
Oh, you know, I don't know.
00:49:56.42\00:49:57.76
It over a period of
two three months probably
00:49:57.79\00:49:59.83
because I didn't, I
didn't just sat down
00:49:59.86\00:50:01.66
and said, I'm
gonna write this song.
00:50:01.70\00:50:03.03
I just wait till the idea
came and then I would sit down
00:50:03.06\00:50:05.63
and most of them
came pretty quickly
00:50:05.67\00:50:07.64
but this one no matter
what key you sing it in
00:50:07.67\00:50:10.14
I've had people and I have
a very well known song writer
00:50:10.17\00:50:12.67
that I gave this to him
and he called me and he said,
00:50:12.71\00:50:14.91
I can't get that
song out of my head.
00:50:14.94\00:50:16.78
He said I go
around the house saying
00:50:16.81\00:50:18.55
it's a beautiful
world that God made,
00:50:18.58\00:50:22.32
you know, just
for you and for me.
00:50:22.35\00:50:24.35
And I said, all right,
that's what I wanted here
00:50:24.39\00:50:26.76
and he is great
songwriter in his own, you know.
00:50:26.79\00:50:29.79
It's kind of above most
of us in the songwriting
00:50:29.82\00:50:32.26
but he said, boy, that sound
just keeps coming to my mind.
00:50:32.29\00:50:35.36
I said, well, good,
then it's doing its job.
00:50:35.40\00:50:37.93
But, you know, again
it's teaching the kids
00:50:37.97\00:50:39.90
and then the video
showing God's creation
00:50:39.93\00:50:43.41
is what we would put together
00:50:43.44\00:50:44.77
and again I want
to thank all the kids
00:50:44.81\00:50:46.31
who came here to help this.
00:50:46.34\00:50:48.11
Well, don't. Good looking group
of kids too and very talented.
00:50:48.14\00:50:51.25
Oh, very much.
00:50:51.28\00:50:52.61
Including some of
your own family members.
00:50:52.65\00:50:53.98
Yeah. Praise the Lord for that.
00:50:54.02\00:50:55.35
My grandkids are
on there, of course.
00:50:55.38\00:50:56.72
Yeah. Yeah. Now
you are what you eat.
00:50:56.75\00:50:59.65
All right. Yeah. This
was an next day event.
00:50:59.69\00:51:01.66
Yeah, well, this
when you have not heard
00:51:01.69\00:51:03.19
for that
statement for a long time
00:51:03.22\00:51:05.26
some people say it's not true
but in a sense it is I guess,
00:51:05.29\00:51:08.20
you know, like we
become what we behold
00:51:08.23\00:51:10.77
and we, you know,
we are what we eat
00:51:10.80\00:51:12.73
but actually it
was a song and I said,
00:51:12.77\00:51:15.40
I don't know of any songs
00:51:15.44\00:51:16.77
that really talk
about the health message.
00:51:16.81\00:51:18.67
Adventist were strong
on the health message.
00:51:18.71\00:51:20.88
I just saw a
thing the other night
00:51:20.91\00:51:22.34
on CBN Christian network
showing Seventh-day Adventist
00:51:22.38\00:51:27.02
and how long they
live in Loma Linda
00:51:27.05\00:51:29.12
and talking
about Adventist living
00:51:29.15\00:51:30.49
ten years longer on average
00:51:30.52\00:51:32.92
and healthier
than most other people
00:51:32.95\00:51:35.42
around the world
only few spots like that
00:51:35.46\00:51:38.23
but I wrote this
song before I saw that.
00:51:38.26\00:51:40.70
But I thought, you know,
00:51:40.73\00:51:42.06
we have all this
messages on the Sabbath
00:51:42.10\00:51:44.17
and state of the dead and
all these how do we do that
00:51:44.20\00:51:47.54
and the Lord just
gave me this little song
00:51:47.57\00:51:49.20
and it probably came to
me in an hour or something,
00:51:49.24\00:51:52.01
"You are what you eat,
00:51:52.04\00:51:53.38
I've been told if this
is true I plan to grow old."
00:51:53.41\00:51:57.38
Praise the Lord. This
is a great little thing.
00:51:57.41\00:51:59.88
"You Are What You Eat."
00:51:59.91\00:52:03.12
You are what you
eat I have been told
00:52:10.86\00:52:14.63
If this is true
I plan to grow old
00:52:14.66\00:52:20.94
Let's take a look at
what the Bible has to say
00:52:20.97\00:52:24.47
About the foods we eat each day
00:52:24.51\00:52:27.91
Genesis tells about
the foods nuts and grains
00:52:27.94\00:52:31.51
Leviticus tells
us what else remains
00:52:31.55\00:52:36.65
Let's read
about in Genesis 1:29,
00:52:36.69\00:52:39.65
"And God said,
'See, I have given you
00:52:39.69\00:52:42.22
every herb that yields seed
00:52:42.26\00:52:43.99
which is on the
face of all the earth,
00:52:44.03\00:52:46.13
and every tree
whose fruit yields seed,
00:52:46.16\00:52:48.90
to you it shall be for food."
00:52:48.93\00:52:50.90
The Book of Leviticus describes
two categories animal food,
00:52:50.93\00:52:54.77
clean and unclean.
00:52:54.80\00:52:56.37
God commands that His
people only eat clean meat
00:52:56.40\00:52:59.24
as described in
Leviticus the 11th chapter.
00:52:59.27\00:53:02.78
No pig. No catfish.
00:53:02.81\00:53:04.68
No mice. No rabbit.
00:53:04.71\00:53:06.48
No, shrimp. No, squirrel.
00:53:06.51\00:53:08.22
No oysters. No, dog or cat.
00:53:08.25\00:53:10.72
No snakes.
00:53:10.75\00:53:13.09
Let's take a look at
what the Bible has to say
00:53:13.12\00:53:16.52
About God's plan for us each day
00:53:16.56\00:53:19.69
To be healthy and
happy in every way
00:53:19.73\00:53:23.53
This is God's
plan for us each day
00:53:23.57\00:53:29.07
Boys, and girls,
we belong to Jesus
00:53:29.10\00:53:31.37
and because He loves us
00:53:31.41\00:53:33.14
He has given us great advice
on how to be healthy and happy.
00:53:33.17\00:53:36.88
Let's ready 1
Corinthians 6:19, 20,
00:53:36.91\00:53:40.68
"Or do you not
know that your body
00:53:40.72\00:53:42.48
is the temple of the Holy Spirit
00:53:42.52\00:53:44.25
who is in you,
whom you have from God,
00:53:44.29\00:53:46.76
and you are not your own?
00:53:46.79\00:53:48.42
You were bought with a price,
00:53:48.46\00:53:50.59
therefore
glorify God in your body
00:53:50.63\00:53:53.19
and in your
spirit, which are God's."
00:53:53.23\00:53:58.13
Now I know the truth been told
00:53:58.17\00:54:01.34
And with God's
help I plan to grow old
00:54:01.37\00:54:05.91
Aren't you glad that God
has a plan for your life?
00:54:05.94\00:54:09.18
3 John 2 tells us
what that plan is.
00:54:09.21\00:54:12.71
"Beloved, I pray
that you may prosper
00:54:12.75\00:54:15.05
in all things and be in health,
00:54:15.08\00:54:17.45
just as your soul prospers."
00:54:17.49\00:54:20.02
Jeremiah confirms
00:54:20.06\00:54:24.13
"For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
00:54:24.16\00:54:26.73
says the Lord, thoughts
of peace and not of evil,
00:54:26.76\00:54:30.43
to give you a
future and a hope."
00:54:30.47\00:54:33.64
If you give your life to Jesus
00:54:33.67\00:54:35.87
and take care of
your body by exercising
00:54:35.90\00:54:38.57
and eating the
right kinds of food
00:54:38.61\00:54:41.04
then it's you can save.
00:54:41.08\00:54:43.11
Now I know the truth been told
00:54:43.14\00:54:46.38
And with God's
help I plan to grow old
00:54:46.41\00:54:53.42
And with God's help
00:54:53.46\00:54:54.79
I plan to grow
old I plan to grow old
00:54:54.82\00:55:00.43
Great song,
Danny, and, you know,
00:55:04.87\00:55:06.90
it's really,
really look what you eat
00:55:06.94\00:55:08.50
and a really catchy
tune and really well done.
00:55:08.54\00:55:11.67
Well, before our time gets away
I want to talk to you about,
00:55:11.71\00:55:13.84
about our education initiative
00:55:13.88\00:55:15.74
because all of
this music can be gotten
00:55:15.78\00:55:17.78
for your own personal use
00:55:17.81\00:55:19.81
but also it's part
of our educational.
00:55:19.85\00:55:21.55
Sort of walk us through.
00:55:21.58\00:55:22.92
Absolutely, what
we've done a few months ago,
00:55:22.95\00:55:25.15
you know, as I
have been talking about
00:55:25.19\00:55:26.69
I have a burden for young people
00:55:26.72\00:55:28.32
and our Adventist young people
00:55:28.36\00:55:30.16
and the Lord gave me this idea
00:55:30.19\00:55:32.23
about to raise money
for Adventist education.
00:55:32.26\00:55:35.76
So we call it
triple your donations.
00:55:35.80\00:55:37.67
For instance if you
donate say $100 to 3ABN
00:55:37.70\00:55:43.00
then we donate
enough CDs to the,
00:55:43.04\00:55:45.87
to schools
throughout North America.
00:55:45.91\00:55:48.11
It can be the, you
know, It's A Beautiful World
00:55:48.14\00:55:51.11
or the Hallelujah
We're Home at Last,
00:55:51.15\00:55:53.01
you know, the CD they knew--
00:55:53.05\00:55:54.65
or the pillars there
is a few options we give
00:55:54.68\00:55:57.59
and when you do that we
give enough CDs and DVDs
00:55:57.62\00:56:00.92
to these young folk
00:56:00.96\00:56:02.29
that when the
schools sell them it doubles,
00:56:02.32\00:56:05.89
in other words you give
$100 to 3ABN and raise 200
00:56:05.93\00:56:09.40
for Adventist education
00:56:09.43\00:56:10.77
our goal is to raise $3 million.
00:56:10.80\00:56:12.87
There is an article
in the Adventist Review,
00:56:12.90\00:56:14.77
you can look up
online or go to our website
00:56:14.80\00:56:18.37
but the Adventist Review
00:56:18.41\00:56:19.74
did a great job
encouraging people.
00:56:19.77\00:56:21.24
So the only way we can
do this is putting tools
00:56:21.28\00:56:24.41
in the hands of young
people instead of selling candy
00:56:24.45\00:56:26.92
and all kinds of stuff
you go to your neighbors,
00:56:26.95\00:56:29.42
give them the
gospel and it gets our kids
00:56:29.45\00:56:31.75
involved in ministry
C.A, at an early age.
00:56:31.79\00:56:34.69
So go to the 3ABN website,
00:56:34.72\00:56:37.13
if you would like to
make a donation to 3ABN
00:56:37.16\00:56:39.66
that donation is tripled.
00:56:39.69\00:56:41.13
Not only what you give
here but then the schools
00:56:41.16\00:56:44.13
we send enough
CDs they sell them,
00:56:44.17\00:56:46.67
they keep all the money.
00:56:46.70\00:56:48.04
They put no money upfront
so it's a hundred percent
00:56:48.07\00:56:50.24
they get to keep so
it's a win, win for everybody
00:56:50.27\00:56:53.68
and the first three months
we did it last school year
00:56:53.71\00:56:56.68
we raised over $400,000
for Adventist education.
00:56:56.71\00:57:00.25
Our goal is this
year we would like
00:57:00.28\00:57:01.82
to at least do a million or two.
00:57:01.85\00:57:03.52
So it's really up to
you, the viewers and donors.
00:57:03.55\00:57:06.32
So look up the Adventist
Review or to the 3ABN website.
00:57:06.35\00:57:10.19
And what's great is out options.
00:57:10.23\00:57:12.29
You can do kids music,
you can do beautiful world,
00:57:12.33\00:57:16.53
you can do Love Rules,
00:57:16.56\00:57:17.90
or you can do
Pillars, Pillars Hymns.
00:57:17.93\00:57:19.67
So there's a lot of options.
00:57:19.70\00:57:21.04
Hallelujah We're Home At Last,
there's so much you can do.
00:57:21.07\00:57:22.80
Well, ho, our time has
fast slipped into eternity.
00:57:22.84\00:57:25.24
Allow me now I'm
closing to wish you both
00:57:25.27\00:57:26.81
grace and peace through our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
00:57:26.84\00:57:29.91
let's see again soon
bye-bye and God bless.
00:57:29.94\00:57:32.71
