00:00:01.46\00:00:07.47
Mending broken people
00:00:07.50\00:00:12.24
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.27\00:00:18.58
Removing pain
00:00:18.61\00:00:23.72
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.75\00:00:29.89
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.92\00:00:34.43
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.46\00:00:40.14
Mending broken people
00:00:40.17\00:00:45.67
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.71\00:00:51.28
Mending broken people
00:00:51.31\00:00:54.78
Hello, and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:06.73\00:01:09.83
Thank you for
joining us as always.
00:01:09.86\00:01:11.83
Thank you, Dr. Yvonne
Lewis, for co-hosting today.
00:01:11.87\00:01:14.67
Thank you for having me.
00:01:14.70\00:01:16.04
And I always love
having you here as a co-host.
00:01:16.07\00:01:18.37
But, today is a
program I am sure,
00:01:18.41\00:01:20.71
even if I didn't asked,
you would want to be on.
00:01:20.74\00:01:22.84
I would.
00:01:22.88\00:01:24.21
And can you
tell our viewers why?
00:01:24.25\00:01:26.38
Because I love Tim Parton. Okay.
00:01:26.41\00:01:29.12
So our gust today,
Brother Tim Parton.
00:01:29.15\00:01:31.62
So sweet. It's a
privilege to be here.
00:01:31.65\00:01:34.06
And Pastor John
Lomacang, of course.
00:01:34.09\00:01:35.49
Yes.
00:01:35.52\00:01:36.86
And so it's going
to be a great program.
00:01:36.89\00:01:38.39
And our viewers that watch 3ABN,
00:01:38.43\00:01:41.46
I am sure they're
going to have some idea
00:01:41.50\00:01:43.33
of what we're going to be
talking about today, right?
00:01:43.37\00:01:45.43
When you have Tim,
00:01:45.47\00:01:46.80
we're going to be
talking about music.
00:01:46.84\00:01:48.84
And, Tim, it is a privilege
to have you here today.
00:01:48.87\00:01:52.01
And the good news,
we're going to tell the folks
00:01:52.04\00:01:54.38
that Tim is now
full time with 3ABN.
00:01:54.41\00:01:58.58
And you're not
just in any capacity,
00:01:58.61\00:02:02.72
we put you in a
capacity that is called,
00:02:02.75\00:02:05.99
we have a new network.
00:02:06.02\00:02:07.36
And what's the name of it?
00:02:07.39\00:02:08.72
Praise Him. Praise Him, right?
00:02:08.76\00:02:10.49
Like praise Jesus. Yes.
00:02:10.53\00:02:12.23
Praise Him radio or
television, music channel,
00:02:12.26\00:02:16.97
and it's literally, of
course we'll get to show it on,
00:02:17.00\00:02:20.00
you know, play it on radio,
but it's going to be music.
00:02:20.04\00:02:22.74
We have 3ABN Radio,
00:02:22.77\00:02:24.71
but a music
channel that's 24/7 music.
00:02:24.74\00:02:27.01
Right.
00:02:27.04\00:02:28.38
Now that's
going to be a big job,
00:02:28.41\00:02:30.35
getting enough music to go 24/7.
00:02:30.38\00:02:33.45
But, hey, we thought
that, when everybody told us
00:02:33.48\00:02:36.42
that when we
started television too,
00:02:36.45\00:02:38.25
they said, "How you gonna do?"
00:02:38.29\00:02:39.62
We started with only a
couple of hours, Yvonne.
00:02:39.65\00:02:41.82
We only had a couple
of hours back in 1986,
00:02:41.86\00:02:44.69
we showed it a few hours,
I think on Thursday evening.
00:02:44.73\00:02:47.70
Then we got a few more hours.
00:02:47.73\00:02:49.80
We finally went up
like 12 hours a day.
00:02:49.83\00:02:52.23
And then before too
long, 24 hours a day.
00:02:52.27\00:02:54.77
And of course, no channel shows
00:02:54.80\00:02:56.77
all new programming 24 hours,
00:02:56.81\00:02:59.17
you do blocks of
maybe eight hours,
00:02:59.21\00:03:01.41
eight and eight
and to do all of that.
00:03:01.44\00:03:03.48
But we have a lot of music
already taped over the years.
00:03:03.51\00:03:07.18
But we're going to be
doing a lot of new music.
00:03:07.22\00:03:09.05
Right.
00:03:09.08\00:03:10.42
And a lot of new programs
00:03:10.45\00:03:11.79
which we're going
to talk to you today,
00:03:11.82\00:03:13.56
and Tim has a lot of
dreams and ambitions.
00:03:13.59\00:03:16.49
And I believe they're
going to come to fruition.
00:03:16.52\00:03:19.13
And that's why we have asked him
00:03:19.16\00:03:21.13
to be a part of this.
00:03:21.16\00:03:22.73
And music is something
that's a universal language.
00:03:22.76\00:03:25.60
Yvonne, you would know that
00:03:25.63\00:03:26.97
probably as good as
anybody sitting here,
00:03:27.00\00:03:29.50
because of your
background in music.
00:03:29.54\00:03:31.77
And you have reached millions
of people with your music.
00:03:31.81\00:03:35.38
Well, praise the Lord.
00:03:35.41\00:03:36.75
Music can reach where
the spoken word can't.
00:03:36.78\00:03:40.32
It can get into
the subconscious,
00:03:40.35\00:03:42.92
it can shape values.
00:03:42.95\00:03:44.52
I mean, that's why,
00:03:44.55\00:03:45.89
that's why the
music that's out there,
00:03:45.92\00:03:47.92
some of it is so questionable.
00:03:47.96\00:03:51.69
And then we have spiritual music
00:03:51.73\00:03:53.93
which can lead us to Jesus,
and that's what this is about.
00:03:53.96\00:03:57.67
Pastor John,
you preach and sing.
00:03:57.70\00:04:00.14
Oh, yeah.
00:04:00.17\00:04:01.50
But you see result in souls
for the kingdom by both way.
00:04:01.54\00:04:05.87
You know, as Yvonne said,
00:04:05.91\00:04:07.78
music doesn't ask for
permission to come in.
00:04:07.81\00:04:10.38
You know, it's a like a lock,
it's like a key to every lock.
00:04:10.41\00:04:13.75
You could be
walking through the mall,
00:04:13.78\00:04:15.12
sitting in a
restaurant, driving your car
00:04:15.15\00:04:17.49
and music is
just conditioning you
00:04:17.52\00:04:19.12
to think a certain
way or feel a certain way,
00:04:19.15\00:04:21.52
or respond a certain
way without your permission.
00:04:21.56\00:04:23.86
And so, with that said,
00:04:23.89\00:04:27.16
Christian music
could impress you
00:04:27.20\00:04:28.60
in so many ways about the Lord,
00:04:28.63\00:04:30.33
decisions you have to make,
00:04:30.37\00:04:31.97
choices you have to
make during the day.
00:04:32.00\00:04:33.64
A single song could say
00:04:33.67\00:04:35.14
just a closer walk
with the Him today,
00:04:35.17\00:04:36.57
so you know what, I
need to get closer to Christ.
00:04:36.60\00:04:38.74
And sometimes you
can hear a song played
00:04:38.77\00:04:40.21
as Tim so
wonderfully does on the piano,
00:04:40.24\00:04:42.44
about the cross and you say,
00:04:42.48\00:04:44.05
boy, I think it's time for
me to come back to the Lord.
00:04:44.08\00:04:46.48
And that is something
that often said about music
00:04:46.51\00:04:49.55
last thing I listen to
before I leave the house
00:04:49.58\00:04:52.62
tends to stay with
me most of the day.
00:04:52.65\00:04:55.02
And so if you have music
just sitting on the background
00:04:55.06\00:04:56.62
whether you're watching it
00:04:56.66\00:04:57.99
or listening to it on
3ABN radio or television,
00:04:58.03\00:05:01.63
it has a lasting impression,
00:05:01.66\00:05:03.00
it softens the
soil, as we've seen
00:05:03.03\00:05:04.73
when I was in
Heritage and seen with 3ABN.
00:05:04.77\00:05:07.14
It softens the soil
00:05:07.17\00:05:08.54
and the word comes
in and closes the deal.
00:05:08.57\00:05:11.17
So praise the Lord for this.
00:05:11.21\00:05:12.54
Huge place and I'm excited
about it and with a person,
00:05:12.57\00:05:14.98
I mean, Tim.
00:05:15.01\00:05:16.34
I mean, we'll find
out, learn more about him.
00:05:16.38\00:05:18.58
But those who don't know him,
just don't change the channel.
00:05:18.61\00:05:21.52
A lot of our viewers,
I'm sure you know Tim Parton,
00:05:21.55\00:05:23.82
you've seen him.
00:05:23.85\00:05:25.19
Tim, you've played
with numbers of groups
00:05:25.22\00:05:26.62
over the last several years.
00:05:26.65\00:05:27.99
You do a lot with the Gaithers
00:05:28.02\00:05:29.46
and now as I've seen
you on the Homecomings.
00:05:29.49\00:05:31.59
Who are some of the
groups you played piano for?
00:05:31.63\00:05:34.13
Well, right out of high school,
00:05:34.16\00:05:35.50
I started with the
Lesters out of St. Louis.
00:05:35.53\00:05:36.87
Okay.
00:05:36.90\00:05:38.23
And they were wonderful family
00:05:38.27\00:05:40.27
for me to move from Kansas City,
00:05:40.30\00:05:42.14
I had lived a kind
of a sheltered life.
00:05:42.17\00:05:43.77
Okay.
00:05:43.81\00:05:45.14
And so, but I moved to St. Louis
00:05:45.17\00:05:47.18
and played for the Lesters,
then I moved to Nashville,
00:05:47.21\00:05:49.31
played for the Spear Family.
00:05:49.34\00:05:50.68
Oh, yeah.
00:05:50.71\00:05:52.05
Quite a name in
southern gospel music.
00:05:52.08\00:05:54.48
And then I played for
Jenna Pascal, Mike Speck.
00:05:54.52\00:05:58.55
He's a great choir
leader, choir music person.
00:05:58.59\00:06:02.92
And then I was with Gold City,
Legacy Five, Vestal Goodman.
00:06:02.96\00:06:09.16
Johnny Cash.
No, not Johnny Cash.
00:06:09.20\00:06:13.13
And then I was
with Jim Brady Trio.
00:06:13.17\00:06:15.84
Yeah. And did I
mention Legacy Five?
00:06:15.87\00:06:18.54
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:18.57\00:06:19.91
I don't even remember who I was.
00:06:19.94\00:06:21.28
Basically, I can't keep
a job, that's what I said.
00:06:21.31\00:06:25.18
Speaking of legacy,
that's quite a legacy.
00:06:25.21\00:06:27.12
That's quite a
legacy. It really is.
00:06:27.15\00:06:28.48
And Legacy Five
or Legacy Period.
00:06:28.52\00:06:31.35
It's quite a legacy.
00:06:31.39\00:06:32.72
And God has blessed Tim
to be able to play and sing.
00:06:32.75\00:06:37.73
I mean, he's
just so multitalented
00:06:37.76\00:06:40.73
which is not to gash you up,
00:06:40.76\00:06:42.16
because it's a
blessing from God.
00:06:42.20\00:06:44.43
But one of the
things I love about Tim
00:06:44.47\00:06:46.74
is like when we
go into the studio,
00:06:46.77\00:06:49.24
Tim, you can say,
"Tim, I heard this song that,
00:06:49.27\00:06:53.91
it's just beautiful."
00:06:53.94\00:06:56.34
And you can
comment to him or you can,
00:06:56.38\00:06:58.21
I've heard it and
you play a little bit of.
00:06:58.25\00:07:00.52
No, I don't play.
00:07:00.55\00:07:01.88
I am done with
playing on the record
00:07:01.92\00:07:03.39
or something on that CD.
00:07:03.42\00:07:04.99
And he hears it
00:07:05.02\00:07:06.86
and he can immediately
just start playing it,
00:07:06.89\00:07:09.52
and he'll just write down
the chords and the progressions
00:07:09.56\00:07:12.29
and it's just, it's such a gift.
00:07:12.33\00:07:14.90
You are just so gifted.
00:07:14.93\00:07:16.43
I'm very, very blessed.
00:07:16.46\00:07:18.73
I...it's, I don't even...
00:07:18.77\00:07:22.07
It's a natural gift.
00:07:22.10\00:07:23.44
Yeah, it's something that
just, I didn't ask for it,
00:07:23.47\00:07:26.57
my mother prayed actually.
00:07:26.61\00:07:27.98
My mom prayed.
00:07:28.01\00:07:29.34
You started taking piano lessons
00:07:29.38\00:07:30.71
when you were two?
00:07:30.75\00:07:32.08
I took lessons
when I was six and seven
00:07:32.11\00:07:33.58
and couldn't teach
the teacher a thing.
00:07:33.62\00:07:36.89
So I said, enough of this.
00:07:36.92\00:07:39.69
Truly, truly, I'd would have
00:07:39.72\00:07:42.19
my teacher play
the song back for me
00:07:42.22\00:07:44.73
and I would
memorize the song then
00:07:44.76\00:07:48.10
and he caught me
whenever I came back to lessons
00:07:48.13\00:07:50.97
and played in the wrong key.
00:07:51.00\00:07:52.63
So that's how...
00:07:52.67\00:07:54.80
So he told my parents,
there was no real need for me
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.54
to take lessons anymore.
00:07:57.57\00:07:59.04
No reason, you know, it
was just a waste of his time
00:07:59.07\00:08:01.21
and waste of my
time, waste of their money.
00:08:01.24\00:08:03.18
So you stopped at seven? Yeah.
00:08:03.21\00:08:05.08
And then my parents,
we had a family group
00:08:05.11\00:08:07.98
back in Kansas
City, the Parton family.
00:08:08.02\00:08:10.22
And we started,
00:08:10.25\00:08:11.92
they let me start at
eight playing for the family
00:08:11.95\00:08:15.86
and I would just
chord along at the beginning
00:08:15.89\00:08:18.89
and then eventually I took over.
00:08:18.93\00:08:23.13
So on the chords,
did you just hear chords?
00:08:23.16\00:08:25.97
How did you know to
put chords together?
00:08:26.00\00:08:30.67
That's a great
question. I don't know.
00:08:30.71\00:08:33.21
It's, honestly, people
ask me how I do things.
00:08:33.24\00:08:36.58
And I know there
are talent people there,
00:08:36.61\00:08:38.41
people who are
talented in any area.
00:08:38.45\00:08:42.25
You know, if you can do
a, if you can make a pie
00:08:42.28\00:08:44.79
without following a recipe,
00:08:44.82\00:08:46.39
I say, you
know, that's your gift
00:08:46.42\00:08:48.26
because that's kind of the way
I look at the way I do music.
00:08:48.29\00:08:51.76
I don't know how I do it.
00:08:51.79\00:08:53.40
I'm not amazed at
myself, I'm amazed at God
00:08:53.43\00:08:56.97
that He would use
me but, but, yeah.
00:08:57.00\00:08:59.63
I'm not, I was talking to my son
00:08:59.67\00:09:01.77
just this morning about
being talented and he was,
00:09:01.80\00:09:05.44
he's going to
audition for a choir at school.
00:09:05.47\00:09:08.84
Okay.
00:09:08.88\00:09:10.21
And I asked him what he
was doing to prepare for that
00:09:10.25\00:09:13.25
because as you are...
00:09:13.28\00:09:15.38
If anybody is
naturally talented,
00:09:15.42\00:09:17.85
it's easy just to step up
00:09:17.89\00:09:19.39
and say, well, I'm
just going to do this
00:09:19.42\00:09:21.16
and not really
prepare for anything.
00:09:21.19\00:09:23.63
And it's, I think it's
really important that we,
00:09:23.66\00:09:26.46
no matter how good
we are at something,
00:09:26.49\00:09:29.56
there are little nuances
that we need to really perfect.
00:09:29.60\00:09:34.04
And to perfect our
craft is an important thing,
00:09:34.07\00:09:37.54
and it's honoring
God when we care enough
00:09:37.57\00:09:40.48
to give our very best.
00:09:40.51\00:09:41.84
So you didn't
really learn chord,
00:09:41.88\00:09:43.45
say by watching your
mother or somebody showing you,
00:09:43.48\00:09:46.98
you know, you got your
majors, and your minor,
00:09:47.02\00:09:49.95
and augmenteds and
diminishes, and nine thirteen.
00:09:49.98\00:09:53.52
I mean, how did you
learn those if you didn't,
00:09:53.56\00:09:56.16
you didn't learn it and you're
obviously at six and seven.
00:09:56.19\00:09:59.09
Did you hear them?
00:09:59.13\00:10:00.46
Did you play them first
and then finally find out
00:10:00.50\00:10:03.00
what they were or did you say,
I'm going to learn how to play,
00:10:03.03\00:10:06.13
that's a major at seven.
00:10:06.17\00:10:07.67
I'm gonna learn how to play.
00:10:07.70\00:10:09.04
Do you remember how that?
00:10:09.07\00:10:10.41
I remembered that, my
dad is a guitar player
00:10:10.44\00:10:13.68
and so we listened
to music all the time.
00:10:13.71\00:10:16.08
And we listen to Chet Atkins.
00:10:16.11\00:10:18.11
That's basically, that's
all we listened to really.
00:10:18.15\00:10:20.38
So I thought that
that's all there was.
00:10:20.42\00:10:22.45
And I didn't even
know that songs had words
00:10:22.48\00:10:24.65
until later in life.
00:10:24.69\00:10:26.05
No, of course, for your viewers
00:10:26.09\00:10:28.62
Chet Atkins is a
great guitar player.
00:10:28.66\00:10:29.99
Absolutely.
00:10:30.03\00:10:31.36
But I think that I
just, I listen to songs
00:10:31.39\00:10:34.43
and I knew that songs were made
up of those different chords.
00:10:34.46\00:10:37.77
And so because, and
I always tell people,
00:10:37.80\00:10:41.80
if you want your child to get,
to be a better piano player.
00:10:41.84\00:10:45.87
They're always
wondering, how that works,
00:10:45.91\00:10:48.68
you know, how do I get my
kid involved and interested in
00:10:48.71\00:10:51.45
to get better?
00:10:51.48\00:10:52.81
Give them a reason to play.
00:10:52.85\00:10:54.88
For me, it was the
fact that my family sang,
00:10:54.92\00:10:58.12
and we sang three
or four times a week.
00:10:58.15\00:11:00.62
So if I didn't want to
get up in front of people
00:11:00.66\00:11:04.39
and embarrass myself,
I needed to, you know,
00:11:04.43\00:11:06.56
know what I was doing.
00:11:06.59\00:11:07.93
So, you know, all
that, we would pick songs
00:11:07.96\00:11:10.13
that we had heard on the radio,
00:11:10.17\00:11:11.50
southern gospel
music was our style.
00:11:11.53\00:11:13.44
So we wrote out the song.
00:11:13.47\00:11:17.77
I don't even know if
we wrote out the chords,
00:11:17.81\00:11:19.34
I don't remember,
that's been so long ago.
00:11:19.37\00:11:21.24
But we would the songs consisted
00:11:21.28\00:11:24.71
of all these minor
chords, and major chords,
00:11:24.75\00:11:27.02
and augmented chords,
00:11:27.05\00:11:28.38
and I guess I
just sounded them out,
00:11:28.42\00:11:31.29
you know, like
learning a new word,
00:11:31.32\00:11:32.85
you just sound it out.
00:11:32.89\00:11:34.22
Isn't that amazing? Oh.
00:11:34.26\00:11:35.59
It's such a gift.
00:11:35.62\00:11:36.96
And yet, you do it
when it comes to sing...
00:11:36.99\00:11:39.59
Right.
00:11:39.63\00:11:41.00
Because you don't really
think about that harmony.
00:11:41.03\00:11:44.27
You're not
saying, okay, let's see,
00:11:44.30\00:11:46.07
I need to hit this
third or I need to hit this.
00:11:46.10\00:11:48.74
You just all of a
sudden, if Tim singing a melody,
00:11:48.77\00:11:52.44
you're just doing this
harmony but you, at least,
00:11:52.47\00:11:55.34
I mean, I do and I don't know
00:11:55.38\00:11:57.71
where that comes
from or how I know
00:11:57.75\00:11:59.98
what harmony
note, how to follow it.
00:12:00.02\00:12:02.78
But it seems like
it's a lot more people
00:12:02.82\00:12:05.75
are able to do that singing
00:12:05.79\00:12:07.82
than they are
playing like what you do.
00:12:07.86\00:12:11.23
I mean, he's got eight fingers
00:12:11.26\00:12:13.09
and two thumbs
going at all times.
00:12:13.13\00:12:14.80
I know, and his foot.
00:12:14.83\00:12:17.53
You ever see his
foot at the piano?
00:12:17.57\00:12:18.90
Yeah, foot. Exactly.
00:12:18.93\00:12:20.27
Yeah, both on the
whole, the whole body.
00:12:20.30\00:12:22.74
Tim, your entire body
is involved in the song.
00:12:22.77\00:12:24.94
It is. Why not?
00:12:24.97\00:12:26.31
And speaking of that,
what I also appreciate,
00:12:26.34\00:12:29.28
you alluded to it slightly.
00:12:29.31\00:12:31.31
You actually said it, he's
got a wonderful singing voice.
00:12:31.35\00:12:33.88
Yes.
00:12:33.92\00:12:35.25
You know, there's a
song that you wrote,
00:12:35.28\00:12:37.99
I'm blessed beyond measure.
00:12:38.02\00:12:40.82
You know, that song I remember,
00:12:40.86\00:12:42.29
when he played it at
camp meeting once, I think,
00:12:42.32\00:12:44.16
he debuted at a camp meeting.
00:12:44.19\00:12:45.93
And people said,
well, he's a great pianist,
00:12:45.96\00:12:49.33
he plays very well.
00:12:49.36\00:12:50.70
And then when he hit
that, they said, why,
00:12:50.73\00:12:53.44
how many vocal
albums does he have?
00:12:53.47\00:12:57.34
And it's not
something you thought about
00:12:57.37\00:12:58.71
because you're playing
for everybody else to sing.
00:12:58.74\00:13:00.88
But the gift is
really, you know,
00:13:00.91\00:13:02.24
when you think
about how God works,
00:13:02.28\00:13:03.61
every good and
every perfect gift
00:13:03.65\00:13:05.65
comes from the Father in
which there's no variation,
00:13:05.68\00:13:07.35
no shadow of turning.
00:13:07.38\00:13:08.82
So each of us in one
respect or the other,
00:13:08.85\00:13:12.22
I like what you said,
00:13:12.25\00:13:13.72
the gift is
given but you have to,
00:13:13.76\00:13:16.42
if you want to
glorify God, you work on that
00:13:16.46\00:13:18.26
because you are
representing the--
00:13:18.29\00:13:19.76
You're not representing
the hip-hop industry,
00:13:19.79\00:13:21.86
you're not
representing the rock industry,
00:13:21.90\00:13:23.30
you're represent the
King of the universe.
00:13:23.33\00:13:25.13
Why not be the best you can be.
00:13:25.17\00:13:26.50
That's right.
00:13:26.53\00:13:27.87
And what's nice
about that is that Lord
00:13:27.90\00:13:29.24
didn't just give it
to you but He anointed
00:13:29.27\00:13:30.74
and He's
responsible for his betterment.
00:13:30.77\00:13:34.04
But you take
your craft seriously
00:13:34.08\00:13:37.31
and that's what I
really like about it.
00:13:37.35\00:13:39.55
When we worked on
our album together,
00:13:39.58\00:13:41.72
you know, the hymns one,
00:13:41.75\00:13:43.12
I'd say, Tim, I want
the beginning to sound
00:13:43.15\00:13:46.79
like a Jesu, Joy
of Man's Desiring
00:13:46.82\00:13:48.46
with a little bit of
Christopher Cross mixed.
00:13:48.49\00:13:51.09
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
00:13:51.13\00:13:53.66
And it is a hymn
that's snug up on people,
00:13:53.70\00:13:55.56
they say, what is that?
00:13:55.60\00:13:58.07
And then I said, 'My Jesus...'
00:13:58.10\00:14:00.47
you know, you don't do that.
00:14:00.50\00:14:02.24
And I thought, wow, he
actually concept to, you know,
00:14:02.27\00:14:06.74
I got the concept, threw
at him and he took the ball
00:14:06.78\00:14:08.68
and hit a homerun and
I thought, what a gift.
00:14:08.71\00:14:11.05
So I'm excited about
00:14:11.08\00:14:12.41
what we're going
to talk about today.
00:14:12.45\00:14:13.78
Yeah. Thank you.
00:14:13.82\00:14:15.15
And that's
interesting that you mentioned
00:14:15.18\00:14:16.52
about the hip-hop and the other.
00:14:16.55\00:14:17.89
Yeah.
00:14:17.92\00:14:19.25
Our focus is different,
our audience is different.
00:14:19.29\00:14:22.52
But the fact
that we live in a day
00:14:22.56\00:14:24.76
that with all of
the voice and the,
00:14:24.79\00:14:27.70
what are some of the other...
00:14:27.73\00:14:29.06
American idol.
00:14:29.10\00:14:30.43
American idol,
you know, those people
00:14:30.47\00:14:33.54
take their craft so serious.
00:14:33.57\00:14:35.24
Right. And it's so important.
00:14:35.27\00:14:37.34
You know, sometimes we think
that as Christians we will,
00:14:37.37\00:14:42.18
this, we'll let our
message be our strength.
00:14:42.21\00:14:47.18
But, and therefore the
quality sometimes, in fact,
00:14:47.22\00:14:52.02
more often than not
unfortunately suffers.
00:14:52.05\00:14:55.09
So I think it's
important because Christ,
00:14:55.12\00:14:58.99
God deserves the very best
00:14:59.03\00:15:01.16
and because those
other genres are going
00:15:01.20\00:15:04.27
so much for
quality, it is vital for,
00:15:04.30\00:15:08.30
if we want people to pay
attention to our message,
00:15:08.34\00:15:11.67
it's got to be in much
prettier package, you know.
00:15:11.71\00:15:14.74
And it, you know, quality
control is a touchy thing
00:15:14.78\00:15:18.81
because we don't want
it all to be about make up,
00:15:18.85\00:15:22.52
and lights, and all the glamour
that the world gives to it.
00:15:22.55\00:15:29.19
But it's got to be
something that touches the ears
00:15:29.22\00:15:32.43
before it can get to
the heart, I believe.
00:15:32.46\00:15:33.80
Absolutely.
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.26
That's why 3ABN
and the music channel
00:15:35.30\00:15:38.67
Praise Him
because we want something
00:15:38.70\00:15:40.60
that will reach people
00:15:40.64\00:15:42.70
who are used to
listening to the voice
00:15:42.74\00:15:44.67
or listening to these other
00:15:44.71\00:15:46.91
that they all of a
sudden turn to hear and say,
00:15:46.94\00:15:49.01
oh, boy, this isn't...
00:15:49.04\00:15:50.38
They're like, wow, you know.
00:15:50.41\00:15:51.78
And again, it's not
giving the artists the credit,
00:15:51.81\00:15:54.72
we're giving God the credit.
00:15:54.75\00:15:56.55
And what you're saying
is we need to work at it.
00:15:56.58\00:15:58.69
For sure. Absolutely.
00:15:58.72\00:16:00.06
How many times over,
you know, 35 years ago,
00:16:00.09\00:16:02.46
back as far as 35 years ago
we had a diesel greyhound bus,
00:16:02.49\00:16:06.43
my brother, my wife
Kay, Melody's mother,
00:16:06.46\00:16:10.03
and we travel for three years
and we, you know, weekends.
00:16:10.07\00:16:14.40
But we'd go places and we would,
00:16:14.44\00:16:16.47
we might be the what
you call the guest singers.
00:16:16.50\00:16:19.97
But in between they had
somebody that would say, hey,
00:16:20.01\00:16:23.45
will anybody want to
just get up and sing a song?
00:16:23.48\00:16:25.78
And they would
say, sister so and so.
00:16:25.81\00:16:27.92
"No, no, I'm not prepared."
00:16:27.95\00:16:29.78
"Well, why don't you
come up?" "Well, okay."
00:16:29.82\00:16:31.59
And she reached into her purse
and pull out all this music
00:16:31.62\00:16:34.02
and bring it to my
brother, "Can you?"
00:16:34.06\00:16:36.12
"Well, I thought you
weren't prepared," you know.
00:16:36.16\00:16:38.39
But then, when you hear
it, you're like, now whoever,
00:16:38.43\00:16:41.66
you know, I understand,
you know people say, well,
00:16:41.70\00:16:45.37
make a joyful
noise into the Lord.
00:16:45.40\00:16:47.64
But everybody is not a preacher,
00:16:47.67\00:16:49.74
everybody is not a teacher,
everybody is not a singer.
00:16:49.77\00:16:53.27
And so, sometimes it's best
00:16:53.31\00:16:54.94
that we stay in
our certain fields.
00:16:54.98\00:16:57.78
I play guitar some but I know
I'm not a really good guitar.
00:16:57.81\00:17:01.98
So you rarely see me.
00:17:02.02\00:17:03.79
And I don't play
on any of our own,
00:17:03.82\00:17:06.82
the tracks that we do
because that's something
00:17:06.86\00:17:10.33
that we have people
who do that full time.
00:17:10.36\00:17:12.53
That's their job, they're
great at what they're doing.
00:17:12.56\00:17:15.06
And so why do I need to
get in and try to mess that up.
00:17:15.10\00:17:18.57
You're being honest with you.
00:17:18.60\00:17:19.93
And so,
sometimes I'll do a guitar,
00:17:19.97\00:17:21.30
just a song here or so.
00:17:21.34\00:17:22.94
But really to understand
our talents and our gifts,
00:17:22.97\00:17:26.24
we really need to.
00:17:26.27\00:17:27.61
John, he has a
gift to sing and preach
00:17:27.64\00:17:29.91
but not a lot of preachers do.
00:17:29.94\00:17:31.55
But sometimes I hear those
who preach, try to sing too,
00:17:31.58\00:17:35.12
and I am thinking,
wonder why they don't leave
00:17:35.15\00:17:37.09
that to the singers and leave
the preaching to the preachers.
00:17:37.12\00:17:39.65
Because you know...
00:17:39.69\00:17:41.46
That's, it's a very...
00:17:41.49\00:17:42.82
I mean, what we're
talking about here is you,
00:17:42.86\00:17:44.19
you have to understand staying
in tune with God is a lot,
00:17:44.23\00:17:47.70
it's so much a part of what
we're talking about here today
00:17:47.73\00:17:50.37
because the world,
when they do a song,
00:17:50.40\00:17:52.37
it's coated with
production quality.
00:17:52.40\00:17:55.70
And they really, like you said,
00:17:55.74\00:17:57.07
they pull all the
stops out, they wouldn't,
00:17:57.11\00:17:58.44
they wouldn't hesitate to
bring in the best of the best,
00:17:58.47\00:18:00.41
of the best, the
lights, the camera,
00:18:00.44\00:18:01.78
the action to the stage,
the costumes, the lights,
00:18:01.81\00:18:04.15
everything is so choreographed.
00:18:04.18\00:18:05.71
So if you took, if
you strip all that away,
00:18:05.75\00:18:09.02
you'd ask yourself, if
you took away all the effects,
00:18:09.05\00:18:11.62
everything, if you
strip all that away,
00:18:11.65\00:18:13.15
what would you hear?
00:18:13.19\00:18:14.52
And I remember
once hearing an artist,
00:18:14.56\00:18:16.32
I won't mention
the person's name,
00:18:16.36\00:18:17.99
sing at a memorial service
for another famous musician
00:18:18.03\00:18:21.26
that had passed away.
00:18:21.30\00:18:22.63
And I thought,
whoa, who is that?
00:18:22.66\00:18:26.43
And I heard them
outside of all of that,
00:18:26.47\00:18:29.27
and I thought, man,
00:18:29.30\00:18:30.81
go back into
whatever you were into
00:18:30.84\00:18:32.44
because that's horrible.
00:18:32.47\00:18:34.34
You know because that's
why at 3ABN we often say,
00:18:34.38\00:18:36.51
when people send demos, we say,
00:18:36.54\00:18:37.88
don't send us
the finished product,
00:18:37.91\00:18:40.12
give us a video or
something you sing at church
00:18:40.15\00:18:42.08
or something that's
just off the cuff because...
00:18:42.12\00:18:44.19
Sure.
00:18:44.22\00:18:45.55
So what we're talking here,
what God has done through you
00:18:45.59\00:18:48.22
is that He has
given you the gift
00:18:48.26\00:18:51.53
and you know
00:18:51.56\00:18:52.89
in your
relationship with the Lord
00:18:52.93\00:18:54.26
where your strengths are.
00:18:54.30\00:18:55.93
And as Danny
said, now Danny to me,
00:18:55.96\00:18:58.63
you are a dynamic guitarist.
00:18:58.67\00:19:00.74
Because you have to
understand, you know,
00:19:00.77\00:19:02.34
I am saying this
because I understand
00:19:02.37\00:19:03.71
where I am when it
comes to guitar, you know.
00:19:03.74\00:19:05.91
So the comparisons are
there, but we're not competing.
00:19:05.94\00:19:08.78
No.
00:19:08.81\00:19:10.15
That's the beauty
of the whole thing,
00:19:10.18\00:19:11.51
the Christian
world does not complete.
00:19:11.55\00:19:13.31
But we're all there
for the glory of God.
00:19:13.35\00:19:15.28
So praise the Lord that
the Lord did in your life.
00:19:15.32\00:19:18.02
Speaking of playing,
why don't we have Tim,
00:19:18.05\00:19:20.66
you may be get up.
00:19:20.69\00:19:22.42
We'll have you
do two, three songs.
00:19:22.46\00:19:24.06
Okay.
00:19:24.09\00:19:25.43
And then we'll come
back and talk some more.
00:19:25.46\00:19:27.30
All right? Sounds good.
00:19:27.33\00:19:28.86
He's going to do,
Yvonne, what's the name of this?
00:19:28.90\00:19:30.67
"In The Eye Of The Storm."
00:19:30.70\00:19:32.40
We'll have you do that first
00:19:32.43\00:19:33.77
and may be we'll
go to A Quiet Place
00:19:33.80\00:19:35.37
and Everlasting God,
00:19:35.40\00:19:37.07
that sound all right?
00:19:37.11\00:19:38.44
Sounds fun. Okay.
00:19:38.47\00:19:39.81
So we want to let
you know once again
00:19:39.84\00:19:41.48
while Tim's getting ready,
00:19:41.51\00:19:42.88
3ABN, we are putting
together a new music channel
00:19:42.91\00:19:47.38
and it will be
called Praise Him.
00:19:47.42\00:19:49.42
So our goal is to get
this on cable stations,
00:19:49.45\00:19:52.72
to get it literally
of course, it will be on.
00:19:52.75\00:19:54.86
You can get it on the internet.
00:19:54.89\00:19:56.22
But literally, to get it around
the world because we believe
00:19:56.26\00:19:59.43
it's a great
crossover for people
00:19:59.46\00:20:01.90
when they hear music,
00:20:01.93\00:20:03.57
then they hear the message.
00:20:03.60\00:20:04.93
They'll tune in to 3ABN.
00:20:04.97\00:20:06.30
I can't tell you, how
many people over the years
00:20:06.33\00:20:09.37
that have told us,
00:20:09.40\00:20:10.74
"I only started watching
3ABN because of your music.
00:20:10.77\00:20:14.51
And I like the music.
00:20:14.54\00:20:16.04
Then later I've stayed
long enough to hear a preacher.
00:20:16.08\00:20:20.18
Then I heard this sermon."
00:20:20.22\00:20:21.75
And it either
drew them to the Lord
00:20:21.78\00:20:23.72
or maybe they were
Christian already but said, wow,
00:20:23.75\00:20:26.25
some of the truths that
I have learned from 3ABN,
00:20:26.29\00:20:31.23
now I want to join,
become a part of your church.
00:20:31.26\00:20:34.10
And so music is a
universal language.
00:20:34.13\00:20:37.17
And I'm glad that Tim
Parton is on this team,
00:20:37.20\00:20:39.70
3ABN, going to be a manager
00:20:39.73\00:20:43.30
of our Praise Him music channel.
00:20:43.34\00:20:46.17
But right now, you
sit back and be blessed
00:20:46.21\00:20:48.74
as Tim ministers to us.
00:20:48.78\00:20:52.01
When the solid
ground is falling out
00:21:06.76\00:21:10.40
From underneath my feet
00:21:10.43\00:21:13.50
Between the black
skies, and my red eyes
00:21:13.54\00:21:17.54
I can barely see
00:21:17.57\00:21:20.24
And when I
realize I've been sold out
00:21:20.28\00:21:23.98
By my friends and my family
00:21:24.01\00:21:28.05
I can feel the rain reminding me
00:21:28.08\00:21:33.36
In the eye of the storm
00:21:33.39\00:21:36.79
You remain in control
and in the middle of the war
00:21:36.83\00:21:43.70
You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor
00:21:43.73\00:21:50.31
When my sails are
torn Your love surrounds me
00:21:50.34\00:21:57.05
In the eye of the storm
00:21:57.08\00:22:00.78
When my hopes and
dreams are far from me
00:22:04.52\00:22:08.09
And I'm running out of faith
00:22:08.12\00:22:11.19
I see the future that I
picture just slowly fade away
00:22:11.23\00:22:18.17
And when the tears
of pain and heartache
00:22:18.20\00:22:21.77
Are falling down my face
00:22:21.80\00:22:26.04
I can find my
peace in Jesus' name
00:22:26.07\00:22:31.21
In the eye of the
storm You remain in control
00:22:31.25\00:22:37.89
And in the middle of the war
00:22:37.92\00:22:41.32
You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor
00:22:41.36\00:22:47.96
When my sails are
torn Your love surrounds me
00:22:48.00\00:22:54.84
In the eye of the storm
00:22:54.87\00:22:57.77
When they let me go
and I just don't know
00:23:25.13\00:23:29.10
How we're gonna make ends meet
00:23:29.14\00:23:32.44
I did my best now
I'm scared to death
00:23:32.47\00:23:35.94
That we might lose everything
00:23:35.98\00:23:39.05
And when a
sickness takes my child away
00:23:39.08\00:23:42.88
And there's nothing I can do
00:23:42.92\00:23:46.89
My only hope is to trust in You
00:23:46.92\00:23:53.90
In the eye of the
storm You remain in control
00:23:55.86\00:24:02.50
And in the middle of the war
00:24:02.54\00:24:06.01
You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor
00:24:06.04\00:24:12.85
When my sails are
torn Your love surrounds me
00:24:12.88\00:24:19.65
In the eye of the storm
00:24:19.69\00:24:22.82
You alone are the
anchor when my sails are torn
00:24:22.86\00:24:30.47
Your love surrounds me
in the eye of the storm
00:24:30.50\00:24:38.47
Wow. Amen.
00:24:57.86\00:24:59.19
In The Eye Of The Storm.
00:24:59.23\00:25:00.70
You know, I think
those words and that song
00:25:00.73\00:25:03.67
is just so impactful,
00:25:03.70\00:25:06.10
because somebody
watching right now
00:25:06.13\00:25:09.44
is going through a storm
and you needed to hear that.
00:25:09.47\00:25:12.44
So we thank Tim for that.
00:25:12.47\00:25:14.98
It was a beautiful song.
00:25:15.01\00:25:16.34
And he told us, he just heard it
00:25:16.38\00:25:17.71
I think day before yesterday.
00:25:17.75\00:25:19.08
I know, I know.
00:25:19.11\00:25:20.98
And learned it that quickly.
00:25:21.02\00:25:22.35
But he's done it
because it ministered to him.
00:25:22.38\00:25:24.55
Yes.
00:25:24.59\00:25:25.92
So we know that it's
been ministering here,
00:25:25.95\00:25:27.92
is ministering to a
lot of people today.
00:25:27.96\00:25:29.29
Amen.
00:25:29.32\00:25:30.66
And we're going to
have him do another song
00:25:30.69\00:25:32.03
while he's at the
piano, "A Quiet Place."
00:25:32.06\00:25:34.10
And I think a lot
of folk will know this.
00:25:34.13\00:25:35.56
I love this song. Oh, me too.
00:25:35.60\00:25:37.37
There is a quiet place
00:27:06.52\00:27:13.23
Far from the rapid pace
00:27:13.26\00:27:19.70
Where God can soothe
00:27:19.73\00:27:25.61
My troubled mind
00:27:25.64\00:27:33.52
Sheltered by tree and flower
00:27:33.55\00:27:39.42
There in my quiet hour
00:27:39.45\00:27:44.19
With Him my cares
00:27:44.23\00:27:49.00
Are left behind
00:27:49.03\00:27:56.81
Whether a garden small
00:27:56.84\00:28:03.01
Or on a mountain tall
00:28:03.04\00:28:08.48
New strength and courage
00:28:08.52\00:28:14.76
There I find
00:28:14.79\00:28:21.76
Then from this quiet place
00:28:21.80\00:28:28.74
I go prepared to face
00:28:28.77\00:28:34.74
A new day with
love for all mankind
00:28:34.78\00:28:41.72
And He walks with me
00:28:52.16\00:28:58.10
And he talks with me
00:28:58.13\00:29:03.07
And He tells me
00:29:03.10\00:29:06.31
I am His own
00:29:06.34\00:29:12.71
And the joy we share
00:29:12.75\00:29:17.69
As we tarry there
00:29:17.72\00:29:23.99
None other
00:29:27.23\00:29:31.17
Has ever
00:29:31.20\00:29:35.47
Known
00:29:35.50\00:29:43.48
Oh, that's a two hander
right there, it's beautiful.
00:29:59.89\00:30:01.96
Beautiful.
00:30:02.00\00:30:03.33
To bring in the garden
so there's a quiet place.
00:30:03.37\00:30:05.93
So intimate.
00:30:05.97\00:30:07.54
Right? So intimate.
00:30:07.57\00:30:09.30
Absolutely, felt anointing
of the Holy Spirit on that.
00:30:09.34\00:30:12.17
You are listening and
watching Brother Tim Parton,
00:30:12.21\00:30:14.61
if you're just tuning in.
00:30:14.64\00:30:17.11
Don't worry there's
going to be some more songs.
00:30:17.15\00:30:19.18
We're going to
try to get him to do
00:30:19.21\00:30:20.82
at least two or three more.
00:30:20.85\00:30:22.35
And we're going to come
back and talk a little bit more
00:30:22.38\00:30:24.79
about 3ABN's new
channel entitled Praise Him
00:30:24.82\00:30:28.79
that's going to be there.
00:30:28.82\00:30:30.16
Exciting.
00:30:30.19\00:30:31.53
Brother Tim
Parton, General Manager
00:30:31.56\00:30:33.09
of the Praise Him network.
00:30:33.13\00:30:35.00
And what better name
could you have than Praise Him,
00:30:35.03\00:30:38.17
with a capital H, right?
00:30:38.20\00:30:39.53
Christ Jesus.
00:30:39.57\00:30:40.90
That's right
'cause it's about Jesus.
00:30:40.94\00:30:42.27
Absolutely.
00:30:42.30\00:30:43.64
It's not going to be about
00:30:43.67\00:30:45.01
the artists and programs per se,
00:30:45.04\00:30:46.37
it's about
Jesus, lifting Him up.
00:30:46.41\00:30:48.38
Absolutely.
00:30:48.41\00:30:49.74
Now while he's up
there we're going to ask him
00:30:49.78\00:30:51.75
to do "Everlasting God."
00:30:51.78\00:30:56.45
Isaiah 40:28-31 says,
00:30:56.48\00:30:59.75
"Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
00:30:59.79\00:31:03.02
Yahweh is the everlasting God,
the creator of the whole earth.
00:31:03.06\00:31:07.50
He never grows faints or weary.
00:31:07.53\00:31:10.00
There is no limit
to His understanding.
00:31:10.03\00:31:13.13
He gives strength to the weary,
00:31:13.17\00:31:15.27
and He
strengthens the powerless.
00:31:15.30\00:31:17.87
Youths may faint and grow weary,
00:31:17.91\00:31:19.81
and young men, they
may stumble and fall.
00:31:19.84\00:31:23.18
But those who trust,
00:31:23.21\00:31:24.71
who wait upon the Lord
will renew their strength.
00:31:24.75\00:31:28.35
They will soar on
wings like eagles,
00:31:28.38\00:31:31.02
they will run
and not grow weary,
00:31:31.05\00:31:33.09
they will walk and
they will not faint."
00:31:33.12\00:31:36.12
Strength will rise
as we wait upon the Lord
00:31:43.73\00:31:48.27
We will wait upon the Lord
00:31:48.30\00:31:50.97
Strength will rise
as we wait upon the Lord
00:31:51.01\00:31:55.41
We will wait upon the Lord
00:31:55.44\00:31:57.35
Our God, You reign forever
00:31:57.38\00:32:03.45
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
00:32:03.49\00:32:10.66
You are the everlasting God
00:32:10.69\00:32:14.93
The everlasting God
00:32:14.96\00:32:18.30
You do not faint
You won't grow weary
00:32:18.33\00:32:24.64
You're the defender of the weak
00:32:24.67\00:32:28.74
You comfort those in need
00:32:28.78\00:32:32.18
You lift us up
on wings like eagles
00:32:32.21\00:32:38.05
You are the everlasting God
00:33:20.86\00:33:25.17
The everlasting God
00:33:25.20\00:33:28.64
You do not faint
You won't grow weary
00:33:28.67\00:33:34.88
You're the defender of the weak
00:33:34.91\00:33:38.95
You comfort those in need
00:33:38.98\00:33:42.38
You lift us up on
the wings like eagles
00:33:42.42\00:33:46.99
Amen.
00:34:07.14\00:34:08.48
How do you like
that? I love that.
00:34:08.51\00:34:10.61
It kind of get you in
the praise and worship.
00:34:10.65\00:34:12.38
It does. Yeah.
00:34:12.41\00:34:14.18
Put you in that praise
and worship zone, you know,
00:34:14.22\00:34:16.99
where you just want to
lift up the name of Jesus.
00:34:17.02\00:34:18.75
Absolutely.
00:34:18.79\00:34:20.12
I had said
right before the song,
00:34:20.16\00:34:21.69
we'll have him come back.
00:34:21.72\00:34:23.06
But I think while he is there,
00:34:23.09\00:34:24.43
we have should
him do another one.
00:34:24.46\00:34:25.79
Let's get another one.
00:34:25.83\00:34:27.16
What do you think about that?
00:34:27.20\00:34:28.53
This one I really like,
its call 'Center of My Joy'.
00:34:28.56\00:34:31.73
Jesus You're
the center of my joy
00:34:44.18\00:34:51.15
All that's good and
perfect comes from You
00:34:53.29\00:34:58.36
You're the
source of my contentment
00:35:02.03\00:35:07.10
You're the hope for all I do
00:35:07.14\00:35:12.17
Jesus You're
the center of my joy
00:35:12.21\00:35:20.18
Jesus You're
the center of my joy
00:35:20.22\00:35:27.46
Amen. How beautiful.
00:38:55.83\00:38:57.17
Wasn't that
beautiful? Absolutely.
00:38:57.20\00:38:58.87
It's so masterful,
the way he join Jesu...
00:38:58.90\00:39:03.20
Center of My Joy and
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
00:39:03.24\00:39:06.21
Yeah, absolutely.
That's just beautiful.
00:39:06.24\00:39:08.74
Tim is just a blessing.
00:39:08.78\00:39:11.28
Well, we're
getting to hear him sing
00:39:11.31\00:39:13.11
more than we normally do.
00:39:13.15\00:39:14.48
Yeah.
00:39:14.52\00:39:15.85
While we love his singing,
00:39:15.88\00:39:17.22
I'd like to hear
him play a song or two.
00:39:17.25\00:39:19.25
But sometimes he gets
so moving around so much,
00:39:19.29\00:39:22.62
I think we're going to ask him,
00:39:22.66\00:39:24.06
Tim, if you want
to take your coat off,
00:39:24.09\00:39:25.59
go ahead, right?
00:39:25.63\00:39:26.96
Just relax.
00:39:27.00\00:39:28.33
Okay.
00:39:28.36\00:39:29.70
Now, the next song says
00:39:29.73\00:39:31.07
'Moonlight Sonata
and Lord's Prayer.'
00:39:31.10\00:39:33.47
So let's see how this goes.
00:39:33.50\00:39:35.20
Then I can't wait
to hear the last song.
00:39:35.24\00:39:36.57
Oh, great.
00:39:36.60\00:39:37.94
We'll talk about it in a minute.
00:39:37.97\00:39:39.31
Awesome.
00:39:39.34\00:39:40.68
Amen.
00:43:24.33\00:43:25.67
No, he didn't.
00:43:25.70\00:43:27.04
That's all I have to say.
00:43:27.07\00:43:28.40
No, he didn't.
00:43:28.44\00:43:29.77
There is just,
00:43:29.80\00:43:31.14
the way he blended
those songs together.
00:43:31.17\00:43:33.61
Absolutely
beautiful. Just so masterful.
00:43:33.64\00:43:35.58
It took me nearly an
hour to teach him that.
00:43:35.61\00:43:37.65
Right. Just kidding.
00:43:37.68\00:43:39.95
I am just kidding of course.
00:43:39.98\00:43:42.08
Now we had him take
his shirt off for a reason.
00:43:42.12\00:43:45.22
He could have
played that, I mean,
00:43:45.25\00:43:46.59
his coat off for a reason.
00:43:46.62\00:43:48.22
He could have played
that with his coat on.
00:43:48.26\00:43:50.36
But I
understand, this next song,
00:43:50.39\00:43:52.19
he may need some
movement around here.
00:43:52.23\00:43:55.13
So our viewers
will probably know it,
00:43:55.16\00:43:56.63
'Give me...'
00:43:56.67\00:43:58.00
Do you know this song?
00:43:58.03\00:43:59.37
Oh, 'Give Me That
Old Time Religion.'
00:43:59.40\00:44:01.67
So let's listen to this one.
00:44:01.70\00:44:03.10
I am in shock still,
what just has happened.
00:46:06.56\00:46:10.97
That is what you
call an anointed gift.
00:46:11.00\00:46:14.74
Tim is not just a musician
but he's an anointed musician.
00:46:14.77\00:46:19.11
And whenever I
hear him play I said,
00:46:19.14\00:46:21.38
if I only took piano
lessons 40 years ago,
00:46:21.41\00:46:24.41
I'd probably be able
to play one of his songs.
00:46:24.45\00:46:27.25
Because this is more than
just being able to read music,
00:46:27.32\00:46:29.58
this is about the
flowing of the anointing.
00:46:29.62\00:46:32.02
And that really reminds
me of old time religion.
00:46:32.05\00:46:35.59
What do you think, Danny?
00:46:35.62\00:46:36.96
Yeah, absolutely.
00:46:36.99\00:46:38.33
Now, Tim, we got
your sitting back here.
00:46:38.36\00:46:39.89
You have to tell us.
00:46:39.93\00:46:41.30
Do you, for
instance on a song like that,
00:46:41.33\00:46:44.03
like you took us
places we didn't know
00:46:44.07\00:46:46.00
where you are going.
00:46:46.03\00:46:47.37
Now do you write that all out,
00:46:47.40\00:46:48.84
you memorize it or
I have a feed on that
00:46:48.87\00:46:51.04
may have been
just like off the cuff?
00:46:51.07\00:46:52.94
That was off the cuff.
00:46:52.97\00:46:54.74
Really? That
truly was off the cuff.
00:46:54.78\00:46:56.34
There are a
couple portions in there
00:46:56.38\00:46:57.71
that I had been working on
00:46:57.75\00:46:59.21
but when you
asked me to come in here
00:46:59.25\00:47:01.95
and do some things, I
said, let's just go for it.
00:47:01.98\00:47:04.99
You know, no
better place to practice
00:47:05.02\00:47:08.16
than around the world,
you know, right here on TV.
00:47:08.19\00:47:12.19
It's okay to be a
professional in practice.
00:47:12.26\00:47:14.10
You know why I say that?
00:47:14.13\00:47:15.46
Because you talk to
any doctor and he'll say,
00:47:15.50\00:47:18.33
"Oh, I've been practicing
medicine for 40 years."
00:47:18.37\00:47:21.14
I'm like, "Well, I want a guy
that's not practicing anymore."
00:47:21.17\00:47:24.44
You know I like the guy
that's doing what they tell.
00:47:24.47\00:47:26.84
So it's okay that
you're practicing the piano.
00:47:26.88\00:47:29.94
Thanks for your publicity.
00:47:29.98\00:47:31.31
After all of these years.
And what an incredible gift.
00:47:31.35\00:47:33.48
Oh, for sure, for sure.
00:47:33.52\00:47:35.12
It's just, it
just transports you,
00:47:35.15\00:47:37.79
you know, when
you listen to Tim,
00:47:37.82\00:47:39.35
it just transports you
to other heavenly places.
00:47:39.39\00:47:42.39
You know, this what we
also mean about the craft
00:47:42.42\00:47:44.53
because lot of
times you look at things
00:47:44.56\00:47:46.06
that happen in the world
and they pull out their best.
00:47:46.09\00:47:49.00
But they don't have anything
on God's anointed musicians
00:47:49.03\00:47:54.40
and people that minister.
00:47:54.44\00:47:56.17
And we are involved
in an eternal industry
00:47:56.20\00:47:58.71
where we will get our reward.
00:47:58.74\00:48:01.74
We will get our golden crown
00:48:01.78\00:48:03.31
which will really be
for the glory of God.
00:48:03.35\00:48:05.31
Isn't that amazing,
that God gives you the gift
00:48:05.35\00:48:07.98
that really gives Him the glory.
00:48:08.02\00:48:09.98
And it's not about competition.
00:48:10.02\00:48:11.45
He gives you the gift
that gives Him the glory.
00:48:11.49\00:48:14.06
And thank you, I
mean, thank you, Tim.
00:48:14.09\00:48:16.46
Now I am really
happy you're on my CD.
00:48:16.49\00:48:19.46
I might sell some
more. Now, I am just kidding.
00:48:19.49\00:48:23.50
Speaking of that, we
would like to ask you,
00:48:23.53\00:48:25.53
you know, publicly, we
want to see you do a new CD
00:48:25.57\00:48:29.07
here at 3ABN
studio, singing and playing,
00:48:29.10\00:48:32.14
whatever you want to do.
00:48:32.17\00:48:33.64
And then turn
it into a DVD also.
00:48:33.68\00:48:36.14
But I want you to take,
00:48:36.18\00:48:37.51
we have just a few minutes left.
00:48:37.55\00:48:38.88
Tell us a little bit about
3ABN music channel Praise Him.
00:48:38.91\00:48:43.75
What are some of
the dreams and visions
00:48:43.79\00:48:45.99
you see coming along here?
00:48:46.02\00:48:47.96
Sure.
00:48:47.99\00:48:49.32
Well, I think that
when you talked to me,
00:48:49.36\00:48:51.49
we were traveling
down the road in London
00:48:51.53\00:48:53.73
and you approached
me about doing this.
00:48:53.76\00:48:56.26
And it totally caught me
off guard, I was traveling,
00:48:56.30\00:49:00.10
I was already, I was working
00:49:00.14\00:49:01.74
with the Jim
Brady Trio at the time.
00:49:01.77\00:49:04.01
And I, first of all,
00:49:04.04\00:49:08.48
I feel totally unqualified to do
00:49:08.51\00:49:13.21
what I'm being asked
to do because number one,
00:49:13.25\00:49:15.88
I hardly can
generally manage my own life
00:49:15.92\00:49:19.42
because I'm just a
piano player I see.
00:49:19.45\00:49:22.42
But anyway, and then from,
00:49:22.46\00:49:25.09
for the whole idea
of something this huge
00:49:25.13\00:49:28.33
is just, it's amazing to me.
00:49:28.36\00:49:30.03
So my idea is to truly
00:49:30.07\00:49:33.07
what we've been
talking about here,
00:49:33.10\00:49:35.17
do quality music
that glorifies God.
00:49:35.20\00:49:38.01
I mean, His word says,
Christ said, if I be lifted up,
00:49:38.04\00:49:40.68
I will draw all men unto me.
00:49:40.71\00:49:42.04
All right.
00:49:42.08\00:49:43.41
So that is what, that's
what this has to be about.
00:49:43.45\00:49:46.05
And so I encourage all of the,
00:49:46.08\00:49:48.95
the listeners to
be praying for me.
00:49:48.98\00:49:51.55
I need your
prayer because that's,
00:49:51.59\00:49:54.49
I can't do it without Christ.
00:49:54.52\00:49:56.26
And I'm going to be asking
00:49:56.29\00:49:57.96
a lot of my artist
friends, songwriters,
00:49:57.99\00:50:01.63
we're going to be doing
a lot of themes on hymns,
00:50:01.66\00:50:04.73
going back and knowing
the stories behind the hymns.
00:50:04.77\00:50:07.17
Tell us about that a second.
00:50:07.20\00:50:08.54
That's one of the
newest programs you'll do.
00:50:08.57\00:50:10.01
Right.
00:50:10.04\00:50:11.37
Well, that's, it's
just been a dream of mine.
00:50:11.41\00:50:13.84
I grew up singing the
hymns and a lot of churches
00:50:13.88\00:50:16.91
have gotten away from the hymn.
00:50:16.95\00:50:18.28
They're doing a lot
of the praise and worship
00:50:18.31\00:50:20.05
which I love.
00:50:20.08\00:50:21.42
I love all styles of music,
00:50:21.45\00:50:22.92
but the hymns have spoken to me.
00:50:22.95\00:50:24.52
And I'll find
myself riding my bicycle.
00:50:24.55\00:50:27.46
I remember, one day I
was in a what we call a funk.
00:50:27.49\00:50:31.29
I was just in a bad mood
and I remember starting to sing
00:50:31.33\00:50:35.80
"I'm living on a mountain
underneath the cloudless sky
00:50:35.83\00:50:39.23
I'm feasting at the fountain
that never will run dry."
00:50:39.27\00:50:41.17
All right.
00:50:41.20\00:50:42.54
And there's an old hymn says,
00:50:42.57\00:50:44.51
''I am dwelling in Beulah Land."
00:50:44.54\00:50:47.48
So I...
00:50:47.51\00:50:49.78
And I think the
hymns are brilliant
00:50:49.81\00:50:52.51
or any song that can get
in your heart and you can be,
00:50:52.55\00:50:55.82
you mention of that earlier,
how songs can get in you
00:50:55.85\00:50:58.99
and just come up at a
moment that you need them.
00:50:59.05\00:51:00.72
That's right.
00:51:00.76\00:51:02.09
So, but with the hymns, I want
to pay tribute to the writers,
00:51:02.12\00:51:06.19
the stories behind
those songs are so wonderful,
00:51:06.23\00:51:10.07
how God can...
00:51:10.10\00:51:11.73
Again use songs to, the
writer can have a story...
00:51:11.77\00:51:16.94
So you might do a one
program on Fanny Crosby...
00:51:16.97\00:51:19.67
Right. Exactly.
00:51:19.71\00:51:21.04
And her background and
history and some of the songs
00:51:21.08\00:51:23.14
that she's written that we know,
00:51:23.18\00:51:24.51
maybe some that we didn't know.
00:51:24.55\00:51:25.88
Right.
00:51:25.91\00:51:27.25
And do a number
of writers like that.
00:51:27.28\00:51:29.38
Exactly.
00:51:29.42\00:51:30.75
So we'll make a
series of programs.
00:51:30.79\00:51:32.92
And which makes it all
that much more interesting
00:51:32.95\00:51:35.59
then when you
sing the actual song,
00:51:35.62\00:51:37.63
when you find
out about the writer.
00:51:37.66\00:51:39.29
Right.
00:51:39.33\00:51:40.66
And there are a lot
of a new song writers
00:51:40.70\00:51:42.60
that have written
some wonderful songs.
00:51:42.63\00:51:44.53
You were talking about
the song 'Center of My Joy',
00:51:44.57\00:51:46.63
Richard Smallwood.
00:51:46.67\00:51:48.20
He has written several songs
and there are brilliant writers
00:51:48.24\00:51:50.97
today that are writing,
00:51:51.01\00:51:52.61
and they have wonderful stories.
00:51:52.64\00:51:53.98
And I want to bring them in.
00:51:54.01\00:51:55.44
So we'll be having a program
with the songwriters and us.
00:51:55.48\00:51:59.51
Oftentimes,
songwriters aren't great singers
00:51:59.55\00:52:02.42
but they'll have a songs,
00:52:02.45\00:52:04.02
they'll have a singer that
they prefer that has maybe done,
00:52:04.05\00:52:06.89
made some of
their songs popular.
00:52:06.92\00:52:08.39
So we'll have
those songs, songwriters
00:52:08.42\00:52:10.93
and the singer come in.
00:52:10.96\00:52:12.33
So I've got
some wonderful ideas.
00:52:12.36\00:52:15.40
But all of it is
just going to glorify God
00:52:15.43\00:52:17.47
and we're going to
make it the best quality.
00:52:17.50\00:52:20.00
And I'm thrilled,
I just, I'm thrilled
00:52:20.04\00:52:22.64
and boggled at the same time.
00:52:22.67\00:52:24.77
We're going to be able to
bring the piano out some time
00:52:24.81\00:52:27.58
and just get
this group of us here
00:52:27.61\00:52:29.61
and sing some
of these old hymns.
00:52:29.64\00:52:31.38
That will be the first.
00:52:31.41\00:52:32.75
Other songs and
then the folks at home,
00:52:32.78\00:52:34.42
you will be
welcome to sing with us.
00:52:34.45\00:52:36.18
Right.
00:52:36.22\00:52:37.55
Will it be called
Hymns Inspirationals?
00:52:37.59\00:52:40.12
We'll call on
you when we need you.
00:52:40.16\00:52:43.59
I like that. I
like that. I like that.
00:52:43.63\00:52:44.96
No, seriously.
00:52:44.99\00:52:47.36
Some of the production team here
00:52:47.40\00:52:49.03
and I went to a
convention recently
00:52:49.06\00:52:51.70
and we saw some of
the great technology
00:52:51.73\00:52:54.24
that they have invented
that is going to help us
00:52:54.27\00:52:57.27
do some things
00:52:57.31\00:52:58.64
where we would love to
do new this social media.
00:52:58.67\00:53:02.04
And to be able to, for
the audience to call in
00:53:02.08\00:53:07.02
and or to Twitter, Facebook
00:53:07.05\00:53:10.19
connect with us live to
where we can take requests.
00:53:10.22\00:53:13.62
So we are thrilled about
some of the opportunities.
00:53:13.66\00:53:16.02
We're going to use
technology, we're going to...
00:53:16.06\00:53:17.56
we're going to...
00:53:17.59\00:53:18.93

everything we can.
00:53:18.96\00:53:20.30
Absolutely wonderful.
00:53:20.33\00:53:21.66
Well, we'll keep you
informed about it too
00:53:21.70\00:53:23.53
because as this comes along.
00:53:23.57\00:53:25.40
We don't know how
soon it will be on the air
00:53:25.43\00:53:27.00
but you'll be the first
to know when we get there.
00:53:27.04\00:53:29.54
What, right now we're going
to have to take a short break,
00:53:29.57\00:53:31.97
go to a newsbreak.
00:53:32.01\00:53:33.34
We'll come back
for a closing thought.
00:53:33.38\00:53:35.14
