I told you today was
gonna be an amazing testimony.
00:00:01.33\00:00:03.83
We've seen how God
has used you, Paulo,
00:00:03.87\00:00:06.70
when you prayed as a
young boy to be a prophet.
00:00:06.74\00:00:11.61
I think God is using
you in such an amazing way
00:00:11.64\00:00:15.34
with the music ministry.
00:00:15.38\00:00:16.91
You said something
during the news break to me.
00:00:17.01\00:00:19.75
How you engage the
audience in a church,
00:00:19.78\00:00:23.95
tell us your story?
00:00:23.99\00:00:25.89
Well, I believe
it's very important,
00:00:25.92\00:00:29.62
when we are singing to
know what we are singing.
00:00:29.66\00:00:32.09
But even more than
that, how was that conceived?
00:00:32.13\00:00:36.36
How did God
impress the composer's mind
00:00:36.40\00:00:40.27
either to write the
words or to write music?
00:00:40.30\00:00:43.64
And we have some
amazing stories of people
00:00:43.67\00:00:47.81
who wrote their
hymns in the moment
00:00:47.84\00:00:51.91
they were the hardest,
00:00:51.95\00:00:53.75
most difficult
ones in their lives,
00:00:53.78\00:00:56.45
like Miss
Spafford, for instance,
00:00:56.48\00:01:01.19
she was traveling
in Ville du Havre,
00:01:01.22\00:01:04.13
going towards England,
00:01:04.16\00:01:05.49
and they were hit by
another ship at night.
00:01:05.53\00:01:08.66
And right there,
she lost her children
00:01:08.70\00:01:13.30
into the sea, they
drown and she'd lost them.
00:01:13.40\00:01:17.27
And they died and
she came back to America.
00:01:17.31\00:01:20.64
And two months
later, her husband
00:01:20.68\00:01:23.04
had his office burnt
and they lost everything.
00:01:23.08\00:01:26.41
And they sat together,
they prayed and they said,
00:01:26.45\00:01:29.28
"Lord, impresses
our mind to comprehend,
00:01:29.32\00:01:33.52
to understand Your
will, because we know
00:01:33.62\00:01:36.09
that everything you do
for the ones that trust in You
00:01:36.12\00:01:39.66
are for their good."
00:01:39.69\00:01:42.16
And they sat down, they
reflect and they wrote the hymn,
00:01:42.20\00:01:44.87
"It is well with my soul."
00:01:44.90\00:01:46.67
Oh, amen.
00:01:46.77\00:01:48.20
And you see, that shows faith.
00:01:48.24\00:01:50.44
And when you tell a
congregation and explain that
00:01:50.47\00:01:52.84
you tell a little
bit about the harmony.
00:01:52.87\00:01:55.21
They become a little more
acquainted with the music.
00:01:55.24\00:01:57.61
Amen.
00:01:57.65\00:01:58.98
And that does help with worship.
00:01:59.01\00:02:01.15
You had a little poem you
wanted to say real quickly.
00:02:01.18\00:02:04.29
Yeah, I
understand that music speaks
00:02:04.32\00:02:07.06
what really cannot be expressed.
00:02:07.09\00:02:08.76
It soothes the
mind and gives it rest.
00:02:08.79\00:02:11.89
It heals the heart
and makes it whole,
00:02:11.93\00:02:14.93
and it flows from
heaven to the soul.
00:02:15.00\00:02:17.63
Amen.
00:02:17.67\00:02:19.03
How true.
00:02:19.07\00:02:20.40
