I want to spend my life mending
broken people I want to spend
00:00:02.20\00:00:15.61
my life
00:00:15.61\00:00:17.61
I want to spend my life mending
broken people I want to spend
00:00:35.16\00:00:47.68
my life
00:00:47.68\00:00:50.45
I love that old Doris Aker's
tune, there's a sweet, sweet
00:02:54.70\00:02:58.84
spirit in this place.
00:02:58.84\00:03:00.31
I just had that song on my
heart and thought we need to
00:03:03.21\00:03:06.82
get it out there.
00:03:06.82\00:03:07.85
So this is a 3ABN
special, special, special.
00:03:08.75\00:03:14.19
And it's special because
you have, of all the things that
00:03:14.79\00:03:19.09
you could be doing, you're
taking time to just pause and
00:03:19.09\00:03:24.70
be a part, to watch, but
more than watch, because you're
00:03:24.70\00:03:30.14
going to be singing
along with me, I hope.
00:03:30.14\00:03:32.61
And it's always special when
I sit down and play, and you
00:03:33.38\00:03:36.28
know, life gets so busy, and
I didn't mean that because it's
00:03:36.28\00:03:40.05
me playing that's special,
but my life gets so busy that,
00:03:40.05\00:03:44.75
believe it or not, there are
other things that I know how to
00:03:44.75\00:03:47.96
do besides play the piano.
00:03:47.96\00:03:49.72
And there will be days that
go by that I don't sit down and
00:03:50.26\00:03:54.23
just take a moment to play.
00:03:54.23\00:03:55.90
So when I get a call to come
be a part of a program like this
00:03:57.10\00:04:03.00
that is just worshiping the
Lord and praising him, doing
00:04:03.00\00:04:08.84
what we love to do, gather
around the piano and seeing his
00:04:08.84\00:04:12.15
praises, I am all for it.
00:04:12.15\00:04:15.65
So I hope you are comfortable,
and if you need to get a glass
00:04:15.98\00:04:21.89
of water so that you can keep
your voice nice and lubricated
00:04:21.89\00:04:29.20
so you can sing out, I
invite you just to make a joyful
00:04:29.20\00:04:34.27
noise.
00:04:34.27\00:04:34.90
Let's sing this, A
Lily of the Valley.
00:04:38.77\00:04:40.58
I have found a friend in Jesus.
00:04:44.85\00:04:49.12
He's everything to me.
00:04:49.45\00:04:51.59
He's the fairest of
ten thousand to my soul.
00:04:51.82\00:04:56.56
The lily of the valley, in
him alone I see all I need to
00:04:57.23\00:05:03.67
cleanse and make me fully whole.
00:05:03.67\00:05:07.20
In sorrow he's my comfort,
in trouble he's my stay.
00:05:07.67\00:05:13.01
He tells me every
care on him to roll.
00:05:13.24\00:05:17.88
He's the lily of the valley,
the bright and morning star.
00:05:18.75\00:05:23.28
He's the fairest of
ten thousand to my soul.
00:05:23.55\00:05:27.49
He all my grief has taken
and all my sorrows born in
00:05:29.02\00:05:34.23
temptation.
00:05:34.23\00:05:34.83
He's my strong and mighty tower.
00:05:35.03\00:05:37.73
I have all for him forsaken
and all my idols torn from my
00:05:38.43\00:05:44.54
heart.
00:05:44.54\00:05:45.14
And now he
keeps me by his power.
00:05:45.34\00:05:48.74
Though all the world forsake
me and Satan tempt me sore,
00:05:49.51\00:05:53.92
through Jesus I shall
safely reach the goal.
00:05:54.15\00:05:58.69
He's the lily of the valley,
the bright and morning star.
00:05:59.02\00:06:03.86
He's the fairest of
ten thousand to my soul.
00:06:03.86\00:06:08.93
Oh, he will never, never
leave me nor yet forsake me here
00:06:17.97\00:06:23.75
while I live by faith
and do his blessed will.
00:06:23.75\00:06:28.08
He's a wall of fire about me
and I have nothing now to fear.
00:06:28.85\00:06:33.66
With his manna he my
hungry soul shall fill.
00:06:33.99\00:06:38.66
Then sweeping up to glory
to see his blessed face where
00:06:39.33\00:06:44.63
rivers of
delight shall ever roll.
00:06:44.63\00:06:48.67
He's the lily of the valley,
the bright and morning star.
00:06:49.04\00:06:53.81
He's the fairest of
ten thousand to my soul.
00:06:53.98\00:06:58.61
Yes, he's the fairest
of ten thousand to my soul.
00:06:58.61\00:07:08.66
That is so fun.
00:07:11.56\00:07:12.49
That song was written in
the mid-1800s by Charles William
00:07:12.76\00:07:18.07
Fry.
00:07:18.07\00:07:18.57
Charles was a bricklayer and
a successful contractor and a
00:07:19.30\00:07:22.87
musician.
00:07:22.87\00:07:23.37
Charles was a Methodist layman
and one day he witnessed abuse
00:07:24.51\00:07:29.68
against the Salvation Army
as they were establishing their
00:07:29.68\00:07:33.15
ministry in 1878 and he offered
to serve as a bodyguard for the
00:07:33.15\00:07:38.75
Salvation Army workers.
00:07:38.75\00:07:40.02
The next day Fry and his
three sons arrived with their
00:07:40.86\00:07:45.56
weapons.
00:07:45.56\00:07:46.36
Listen to this, which
consisted of two cornets or like
00:07:46.66\00:07:51.13
trumpets, a trombone and a
small tuba which they played
00:07:51.13\00:07:56.10
between fighting
off the troublemakers.
00:07:56.10\00:07:58.64
Their music attracted a crowd
and thus the first Salvation
00:07:59.37\00:08:03.28
Army band was formed.
00:08:03.28\00:08:04.51
Now I think that's a great
way to defend is using your
00:08:04.78\00:08:12.62
instrument, using something
positive against a negative,
00:08:12.62\00:08:15.92
right?
00:08:16.09\00:08:16.52
One of my favorite scripture
verses is Deuteronomy 33-27.
00:08:17.29\00:08:21.06
The eternal God is thy
refuge and underneath are the
00:08:21.60\00:08:26.50
everlasting arms.
00:08:26.50\00:08:27.77
And I like to contemplate what
it means to find refuge in our
00:08:28.54\00:08:34.14
Heavenly Father's arms in times
of fear or trial and to allow
00:08:34.14\00:08:39.18
God's peace to
replace all my anxiety.
00:08:39.18\00:08:43.12
And that's why I love this song
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
00:08:43.25\00:08:48.99
of God.
00:08:48.99\00:08:49.72
What
00:08:52.26\00:08:53.53
a fellowship, what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
00:09:03.57\00:09:12.55
What a blessedness, what a
peace is mine Leaning on the
00:09:12.55\00:09:20.92
everlasting arms I'm leaning,
leaning, safe and secure from
00:09:20.92\00:09:33.94
all alarms.
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.94
I'm leaning, yes I'm leaning,
leaning on the everlasting
00:09:36.40\00:09:46.92
arms.
00:09:46.92\00:09:49.58
Oh, how sweet to walk in
this pilgrim way, leaning on the
00:09:49.58\00:09:58.79
everlasting arms.
00:09:58.79\00:10:01.40
Oh, how bright the path grows
from day to day, leaning on the
00:10:02.16\00:10:10.81
everlasting arms.
00:10:10.81\00:10:13.84
I'm leaning, I'm leaning,
I'm safe and secure from all
00:10:13.84\00:10:24.62
alarms.
00:10:24.62\00:10:25.89
I'm leaning, yes I'm leaning,
leaning on the everlasting
00:10:26.49\00:10:37.80
arms.
00:10:37.80\00:10:39.37
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from
00:11:08.50\00:11:15.77
me, yes I'm leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
00:11:21.08\00:11:32.25
So think about it, what have
I to dread, what have I to fear,
00:11:33.19\00:11:39.19
leaning on the everlasting arms.
00:11:39.86\00:11:44.00
I have blessed peace with my
Lord so near, when I'm leaning
00:11:45.13\00:11:51.84
on the everlasting arms.
00:11:51.84\00:11:56.48
Yes, I'm leaning, leaning,
I'm safe and secure from all
00:11:56.48\00:12:07.19
alarms.
00:12:07.19\00:12:08.56
I'm leaning, yes I'm leaning,
leaning on the everlasting
00:12:09.42\00:12:21.77
arms.
00:12:21.77\00:12:23.74
I'm depending on you
Lord, to always be there for me.
00:12:23.74\00:12:31.11
That's why I'm leaning on
the everlasting arms of...
00:12:31.48\00:12:36.72
That is a firm foundation we
can always trust, lean on the
00:12:44.69\00:12:51.50
arms of God.
00:12:51.50\00:12:52.47
There's no other name like
Jesus, tis the dearest name we
00:13:10.19\00:13:19.39
know.
00:13:19.39\00:13:20.06
Tis the angels' joy in heaven,
tis the Christians' joy below.
00:13:21.20\00:13:30.14
Sweet name, dear name, there's
no other name like Jesus.
00:13:30.14\00:13:40.35
Sweet name, dear name, there's
no other name like Jesus.
00:13:41.15\00:13:51.69
And there's no other name
like Jesus, when the heart with
00:13:51.69\00:13:59.03
grief is sad.
00:13:59.03\00:14:00.70
There's no other name like
Jesus, when the heart is free
00:14:01.60\00:14:08.18
and glad.
00:14:08.18\00:14:10.45
Sweet name, oh lovely
name, there's no other name like
00:14:10.85\00:14:19.42
Jesus.
00:14:19.42\00:14:20.72
Sweet name, dear name, there's
no other name like Jesus.
00:14:20.72\00:14:34.17
Tis the hope that I shall see
him, when in glory he appears.
00:14:35.80\00:14:42.98
Tis the hope to hear his
welcome, then my fainting
00:14:42.98\00:14:50.22
spirit cheers.
00:14:50.22\00:14:53.36
Sweet name, dear name, there's
no other name like Jesus.
00:14:54.72\00:15:04.00
Sweet name, dear name, there's
no other name like Jesus.
00:15:04.80\00:15:18.98
It makes me want to sing, oh
how I love Jesus, oh how I love
00:15:23.02\00:15:36.13
Jesus, oh how I love Jesus.
00:15:36.13\00:15:45.41
Because he first
00:15:45.41\00:15:50.38
loved me, there is a name I
love to hear, I love to sing.
00:15:56.15\00:16:05.09
It's worth, it sounds like
music in my ear, the sweetest
00:16:05.16\00:16:15.37
name on earth.
00:16:15.37\00:16:18.54
Oh how I love Jesus, oh
how I love Jesus, oh how I love
00:16:18.54\00:16:35.12
Jesus.
00:16:35.12\00:16:37.29
Because he first loved me,
00:16:37.29\00:16:44.50
it tells me of a Savior's
love, who died to set me free.
00:16:48.37\00:16:58.21
It tells me of his precious
blood, the sinner's perfect
00:16:58.21\00:17:08.86
plea.
00:17:08.86\00:17:10.83
It tells of one whose loving
heart can feel my deepest woe,
00:17:11.56\00:17:22.24
who in each sorrow bears a
part that none can bear below.
00:17:22.24\00:17:36.15
Oh that's why I love my Jesus,
oh how I love Jesus, oh how I
00:17:36.15\00:17:56.91
love Jesus.
00:17:56.91\00:18:00.08
Because he first loved me.
00:18:03.48\00:18:12.49
I just want to take a moment,
I really feel impressed to do
00:18:14.02\00:18:17.19
this, just to
take a moment and pray.
00:18:17.19\00:18:19.66
That last verse, it says, it
tells of one whose loving heart
00:18:19.76\00:18:23.97
can feel my deepest woe, who
in each sorrow bears a part that
00:18:23.97\00:18:29.84
none can bear below.
00:18:29.84\00:18:31.07
You may be going through
something as you're watching
00:18:31.07\00:18:35.31
this and you're trying to
sing these songs, but whatever
00:18:35.31\00:18:40.45
you're facing seems to be
bigger than this song, even
00:18:40.45\00:18:47.46
than Jesus.
00:18:47.46\00:18:48.49
Friend, let me tell you, Jesus
can bear whatever you're going
00:18:49.49\00:18:55.46
through.
00:18:55.46\00:18:55.90
So I just want to pray for
us for a moment, for you, for
00:18:56.67\00:19:00.64
whatever you're facing.
00:19:00.64\00:19:01.94
Father God, I thank you that
you can go beyond time, you can
00:19:03.10\00:19:08.48
go ahead of time, and you can
meet us in our very moment of
00:19:08.48\00:19:14.82
time that we are in need.
00:19:14.82\00:19:17.62
When we can't find anyone else
to lend an ear, when we can't
00:19:19.32\00:19:24.79
find any doctor to give
us a cure or even a hope.
00:19:24.79\00:19:29.80
Father, we can trust
that you are the healer.
00:19:31.90\00:19:36.50
We trust that you
know exactly what we need.
00:19:36.71\00:19:42.21
We trust that you can meet
those needs according to your
00:19:43.31\00:19:47.38
riches and glory, whether it
be physical need or a material
00:19:47.38\00:19:52.49
need, a financial
need, a friendship mended, a
00:19:52.49\00:19:59.23
relationship, a husband and
wife, a marriage relationship
00:19:59.23\00:20:02.73
that needs mended.
00:20:02.73\00:20:04.67
You are able, and so I just ask
in Jesus' name for whatever our
00:20:06.07\00:20:14.14
viewers, our dear brothers and
sisters are going through right
00:20:14.14\00:20:17.81
now.
00:20:17.81\00:20:18.45
I pray that you would restore
their hope in you, restore
00:20:19.15\00:20:23.02
their song in you.
00:20:23.02\00:20:24.42
Lord, we love you, we know
you've got the whole world in
00:20:25.49\00:20:30.09
your hands.
00:20:30.09\00:20:30.76
All the resources are yours.
00:20:31.69\00:20:33.36
So we claim as children of
the King, we just claim your
00:20:34.40\00:20:40.14
promises.
00:20:40.14\00:20:40.70
So I want to
say thank you, Lord.
00:20:41.64\00:20:43.67
Thank you for answering prayer,
for hearing our prayer, and
00:20:44.14\00:20:47.08
thank you for hearing these
songs as we sing them to you.
00:20:47.08\00:20:50.65
We are encouraged to.
00:20:50.91\00:20:52.78
We love you, God.
00:20:53.78\00:20:54.78
Amen, amen.
00:20:56.08\00:20:57.19
Louise Stead grew up in England
and immigrated to America in
00:20:59.25\00:21:04.29
1871 where she started a
family, and a few years later,
00:21:04.29\00:21:10.10
she was away visiting
family back in England while her
00:21:10.90\00:21:14.67
husband remained in the States,
and he drowned actually trying
00:21:14.67\00:21:20.54
to save their young son.
00:21:20.54\00:21:22.14
Life brings heartache to each
of us, and sometimes it affects
00:21:24.75\00:21:30.42
our trust in God.
00:21:30.42\00:21:31.65
We ask why such terrible things
happen, and it was shortly
00:21:31.65\00:21:37.86
after her husband drowned that
Louise Stead wrote these words,
00:21:37.86\00:21:44.60
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him,
how I've proved him o'er and o
00:21:45.33\00:21:52.57
'er, Jesus, Jesus, precious
Jesus, oh, for grace to trust
00:21:52.57\00:21:59.68
him more.
00:21:59.68\00:22:00.48
Whatever you're going
through, you can trust.
00:22:01.68\00:22:03.92
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take him at his word
00:22:05.79\00:22:17.63
Just to rest upon his promise
Just to know the saith the Lord
00:22:18.67\00:22:33.65
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him
How I've proved him o'er and o
00:22:33.65\00:22:47.13
'er Jesus, Jesus, precious
Jesus, Oh, for grace to trust
00:22:47.13\00:23:01.04
Him more.
00:23:01.04\00:23:04.95
Oh, how sweet to trust
in Jesus, Just to trust His
00:23:08.82\00:23:17.33
cleansing blood, And in simple
faith to plunge me Neath the
00:23:17.33\00:23:28.90
healing, cleansing flood.
00:23:28.90\00:23:33.34
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I proved Him o'er and o'er.
00:23:33.94\00:23:45.99
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus,
Oh, for grace to trust Him
00:23:45.99\00:23:59.60
more.
00:23:59.60\00:24:03.07
Yes, tis sweet to trust in
Jesus, Just from sin and self
00:24:04.71\00:24:16.35
to cease, Just from Jesus
simply taking Life and rest and
00:24:16.35\00:24:29.00
joy and peace.
00:24:29.00\00:24:34.14
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I proved Him o'er and o'er
00:24:34.14\00:24:46.41
and o'er.
00:24:46.41\00:24:48.62
Oh, Jesus, Jesus, precious
Jesus, Oh, for grace to trust
00:24:48.62\00:25:04.90
Him more.
00:25:04.90\00:25:09.80
A wonderful Savior is Jesus, my
Lord, A wonderful Savior to me.
00:25:39.10\00:25:56.48
He hideth my soul in the cleft
of the rock Where rivers of
00:25:58.05\00:26:09.93
pleasure I see.
00:26:09.93\00:26:14.44
He hideth my soul in the cleft
of that shadows a dry, thirsty
00:26:15.44\00:26:29.28
land.
00:26:29.28\00:26:30.89
He hideth my life in the depths
of His love And He covers me
00:26:30.89\00:26:45.13
there with His hand And
covers me there with His hand.
00:26:45.13\00:27:00.52
O wonderful
Savior is Jesus my Lord.
00:27:05.45\00:27:12.36
He carries my burdens away.
00:27:13.13\00:27:18.33
He's holding me up
and I shall not be moved.
00:27:19.30\00:27:28.24
He's giving me
strength day by day.
00:27:28.78\00:27:35.25
He hideth my soul in the cleft
of the rock that shadows a dry
00:27:35.72\00:27:46.19
thirsty land.
00:27:46.19\00:27:49.56
He hideth my life in the depths
of His love and He covers me
00:27:49.76\00:28:02.81
there with His hand.
00:28:02.81\00:28:08.12
And covers me
there with His hand.
00:28:08.12\00:28:16.12
With numberless blessings each
moment He crowns and fills with
00:28:19.36\00:28:27.04
His fullness divine.
00:28:27.04\00:28:30.14
I sing in my rapture O Glory
to God for such a Redeemer as
00:28:31.44\00:28:42.15
mine.
00:28:42.15\00:28:44.79
When clothed in His brightness
transported I rise to meet Him
00:28:48.32\00:28:57.57
in clouds in the sky.
00:28:57.57\00:29:02.17
His perfect salvation His
wonderful love I'll shout with
00:29:02.80\00:29:12.31
the millions on high.
00:29:12.31\00:29:18.49
He hideth my soul in the cleft
of the rock that shadows a dry
00:29:19.29\00:29:30.83
thirsty land.
00:29:30.83\00:29:34.64
He hideth my life in the depths
of His love and He covers me
00:29:34.64\00:29:51.65
there with His hand.
00:29:51.65\00:29:56.62
And He covers me
there with His hand.
00:29:59.43\00:30:10.54
Hey man, isn't that encouraging?
00:30:23.69\00:30:24.95
Such a personal song
filled with reminders of God's
00:30:25.72\00:30:30.39
individual love
for His children.
00:30:30.39\00:30:32.19
He loves each of us, just like
each of us was His only child.
00:30:32.93\00:30:39.20
And that's the joy of having
a personal relationship with our
00:30:39.20\00:30:43.54
Heavenly Father.
00:30:43.54\00:30:44.57
The psalmist David did
something similar when he wrote
00:30:45.64\00:30:49.78
the 23rd Psalm.
00:30:49.78\00:30:50.88
It's full of me's and my's.
00:30:51.25\00:30:53.21
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my
00:30:54.22\00:30:58.12
life, and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.
00:30:58.12\00:31:01.39
Ah, I love that.
00:31:02.29\00:31:03.66
The me's and my's.
00:31:03.86\00:31:05.26
A pilgrim was I and a wandering.
00:31:15.47\00:31:20.28
In the cold night of sin I
did roam when Jesus the kind
00:31:21.74\00:31:29.62
shepherd found me.
00:31:29.62\00:31:31.42
And now I am on my way home.
00:31:32.79\00:31:38.23
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days, all the
00:31:38.23\00:31:47.14
days of my life.
00:31:47.14\00:31:50.61
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days, all the
00:31:51.04\00:31:59.61
days of my life.
00:31:59.61\00:32:03.45
He restoreth my
soul when I'm weary.
00:32:06.72\00:32:11.69
He giveth me
strength day by day.
00:32:12.79\00:32:17.47
He leads me beside the still
waters, and He guards me each
00:32:18.87\00:32:27.18
step of the way.
00:32:27.18\00:32:29.88
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days, all the
00:32:30.95\00:32:39.22
days of my life.
00:32:39.22\00:32:42.86
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days, all the
00:32:43.26\00:32:51.83
days of my life.
00:32:51.83\00:32:55.80
Oh, when I walk through
the dark, lonesome valley, my
00:32:58.71\00:33:06.18
Savior is gonna walk with
me there, and safely His great
00:33:06.18\00:33:14.36
hand will lead me to the
mansions He's gone to prepare.
00:33:14.36\00:33:23.23
And I shall dwell in the
house of the Lord forever, and I
00:33:24.33\00:33:31.97
shall feast at the
table spread for me.
00:33:31.97\00:33:42.62
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days, all the
00:33:46.05\00:33:55.13
days of my life.
00:33:55.13\00:33:58.77
All the days, all the days of my
00:33:59.80\00:34:06.94
life.
00:34:18.75\00:34:19.59
Amen.
00:34:19.59\00:34:20.06
Isn't that great news?
00:34:20.16\00:34:21.42
Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me.
00:34:22.02\00:34:24.13
Most of us have that scripture
memorized, and it's easy to let
00:34:24.46\00:34:29.86
the words escape without
grasping their magnitude.
00:34:29.86\00:34:34.54
One of the reasons that I
love songs and these hymns in
00:34:35.67\00:34:39.01
particular is their poetry,
their rhyme, their repetition.
00:34:39.01\00:34:44.01

00:35:08.60\00:35:10.07
A lot of these hymns
have the beautiful repetition.
00:35:10.41\00:35:13.81
That's what drives those songs
and choruses into our spirit to
00:35:14.54\00:35:21.18
where when we're walking down
the road and walking through a
00:35:21.18\00:35:24.25
trial, when we need to tell a
friend, it's like sending them
00:35:24.25\00:35:29.99
a card.
00:35:29.99\00:35:33.96
me.
00:35:33.96\00:35:34.36
He leadeth me.
00:35:34.36\00:35:34.36
He'll lead you.
00:35:34.96\00:35:35.66
He'll lead you.
00:35:35.70\00:35:36.80
It doesn't have to be
some ornate explanation, just a
00:35:36.80\00:35:41.47
simple phrase
that repeating that.
00:35:41.47\00:35:44.67
So anyway, I know that that's
old English, even like, He
00:35:45.07\00:35:49.81
leadeth me.
00:35:49.81\00:35:50.75
We don't use that today,
but I can break it down for you.
00:35:51.01\00:35:54.65
He leads me.
00:35:55.22\00:35:56.15
That's it.
00:35:57.25\00:35:57.99
If you need
direction or clarity, ask Him.
00:35:58.35\00:36:01.52
He'll lead you.
00:36:02.12\00:36:03.09
If you've lost your
vision or your purpose, ask Him.
00:36:03.83\00:36:07.96
He'll lead you.
00:36:08.53\00:36:09.63
I love that.
00:36:09.90\00:36:10.87
Isn't that great?
00:36:11.13\00:36:11.83
He really will.
00:36:12.40\00:36:13.34
I've experienced His leading
so many times because I have
00:36:14.27\00:36:19.04
stopped after I've
tried everything else.
00:36:19.04\00:36:21.48
Seriously,
tried everything else.
00:36:22.44\00:36:25.28
And I prayed, God, I
don't know what to do.
00:36:26.18\00:36:29.95
Lead me.
00:36:30.19\00:36:30.82
Lead me to the right people.
00:36:30.85\00:36:32.05
Lead me to the right job.
00:36:32.22\00:36:33.59
Lead me to the right decision.
00:36:33.59\00:36:36.02
He will do it.
00:36:36.83\00:36:37.69
He is faithful.
00:36:37.69\00:36:37.73
That's why we have the
privilege of going to Him in
00:36:39.69\00:36:42.10
prayer.
00:36:42.10\00:36:42.36
Oh, what needless pain we bear.
00:36:42.90\00:36:45.03
Oh, because we
don't go to God in prayer.
00:36:45.47\00:36:47.37
He will lead you.
00:36:47.47\00:36:48.50
So that's why I love this song.
00:36:48.50\00:36:51.47
He leadeth me, O blessed
thought, O words with heavenly
00:37:18.63\00:37:26.04
comfort fraught.
00:37:26.04\00:37:28.81
Whate'er I be, still tis
God's hand that leadeth me.
00:37:32.28\00:37:41.69
He leadeth me.
00:37:42.82\00:37:46.56
He leadeth me.
00:37:46.56\00:37:50.13
By His own hand He leadeth me.
00:37:50.40\00:37:56.91
His faithful follower I would
be, for by His hand He leadeth
00:37:56.91\00:38:09.65
me.
00:38:18.13\00:38:19.13
Sometimes mid-scenes of deepest
gloom, sometimes where Eden's
00:38:19.49\00:38:27.97
flowers bloom, by waters
calm or troubled sea, still tis
00:38:28.07\00:38:36.78
God's hand.
00:38:36.78\00:38:38.41
He leadeth me.
00:38:43.12\00:38:45.82
He leadeth me.
00:38:45.82\00:38:49.06
By His strong
hand He leadeth me.
00:38:49.42\00:38:55.46
His faithful follower I would
be, for by His hand He leadeth
00:38:55.70\00:39:07.68
me.
00:39:07.68\00:39:09.68
Lord, I would clasp Thy hand
in mine, nor ever murmur, nor
00:39:15.58\00:39:23.73
repine, content whatever lot
I see, knowing tis God's hand
00:39:23.73\00:39:33.70
that leadeth me.
00:39:33.70\00:39:36.81
And when my task on earth is
done, when by God's grace the
00:39:36.81\00:39:45.68
victory's won, oh, even death's
cold way, I will not flee,
00:39:45.68\00:39:56.29
since God through Jordan He
leadeth me, He leadeth me by
00:39:57.59\00:40:15.04
His strong hand.
00:40:15.04\00:40:17.68
He leadeth me, His
faithful follower I want to be.
00:40:17.91\00:40:28.86
For by His hand He leadeth me.
00:40:28.86\00:40:38.77
Yeah, He leadeth me.
00:40:54.28\00:40:56.38
Trust Him, He'll lead you.
00:40:56.58\00:40:58.69
Though life is always changing,
God assures you that He is
00:40:59.05\00:41:04.53
steadfast, He is dependable.
00:41:04.53\00:41:06.63
And we learn that what seems
so important in life is really
00:41:06.63\00:41:13.13
insignificant when compared to
knowing that Jesus never fails,
00:41:13.13\00:41:18.04
Jesus never leaves us.
00:41:18.34\00:41:20.44
This comforting hymn of prayer
describes the evening of life
00:41:21.24\00:41:26.21
when the sun of our life
is going down and the peace of
00:41:26.21\00:41:31.55
God's presence
through that time.
00:41:31.55\00:41:33.92
This is a kind of an obscure
hymn, but I love the message.
00:41:33.92\00:41:44.57
You know what?
00:42:28.11\00:42:28.68
Abide with me.
00:42:28.71\00:42:29.88
Abide with me.
00:42:32.75\00:42:35.25
Fast falls the even tide.
00:42:35.25\00:42:39.92
The darkness deepens.
00:42:41.66\00:42:45.06
Lord, with me abide.
00:42:45.39\00:42:48.83
When other helpers
fail and comforts flee.
00:42:50.07\00:42:59.47
Help of the
helpless, O abide with me.
00:42:59.47\00:43:10.49
Swift to its close
ebbs out life's little day.
00:43:11.29\00:43:18.83
Earth's joys grow
dim, its glories pass away.
00:43:19.79\00:43:27.97
Change and decay
in all around I see.
00:43:27.97\00:43:38.08
O thou who
changest not, abide with me.
00:43:38.08\00:43:48.69
I need thy
presence every passing hour.
00:43:55.23\00:44:02.87
Thy grace can foil
the tempter's pow'r.
00:44:02.87\00:44:13.72
Who like thyself, my
guide and strength can be.
00:44:14.32\00:44:22.39
Through cloud or
sunshine, O abide with me.
00:44:23.53\00:44:33.90
I like the verse says, I
fear no foe with thee at hand to
00:44:33.90\00:44:40.71
bless.
00:44:40.71\00:44:41.81
Ills have no weight
and tears no bitterness.
00:44:42.34\00:44:48.05
Where is death's sting?
00:44:49.32\00:44:52.52
Where graved thy victory?
00:44:52.99\00:44:56.26
I triumph still if
thou abide with me.
00:44:57.26\00:45:08.30
Hold thou thy cross
before my closing eyes.
00:45:13.54\00:45:20.88
Shine through the gloom
and point me to the skies.
00:45:20.88\00:45:29.79
Heaven's morning breaks
and earth's vain shadows flee.
00:45:30.76\00:45:39.20
In life, in death,
O Lord, abide with me.
00:45:40.20\00:45:52.18
I need thee every
hour, most gracious Lord.
00:47:05.75\00:47:15.06
No tender voice like
thine can peace afford.
00:47:15.06\00:47:26.17
I need thee, O, I need thee,
O, bless me now, my Savior.
00:47:28.08\00:47:44.96
I come to thee.
00:47:44.96\00:47:51.97
I need thee every
hour, stay thou near by.
00:47:58.24\00:48:07.12
Temptations lose their
pow'r when thou art nigh.
00:48:07.62\00:48:15.46
I need thee every
hour in joy or pain.
00:48:17.79\00:48:27.27
Come quickly and my
00:48:27.90\00:48:31.84
grief is vain.
00:48:35.24\00:48:38.98
I need thee, O, I need
thee, every hour I need thee.
00:48:39.98\00:48:55.63
O bless me now, my Savior.
00:48:56.83\00:49:00.80
O bless me now, my Savior,
00:49:01.80\00:49:07.88
to thee.
00:49:13.48\00:49:17.39
And I need thee every hour.
00:49:22.39\00:49:26.80
Teach me your perfect will
and your rich promises in me.
00:49:28.16\00:49:37.81
Fulfill, I need thee
every hour, most holy one.
00:49:37.81\00:49:50.05
O make me thine
indeed, thou blessed Son.
00:49:50.49\00:50:00.80
I need thee, O, I need
thee, every hour I need thee.
00:50:00.80\00:50:15.24
O bless me now, my Savior.
00:50:16.44\00:50:20.98
I come
00:50:23.52\00:50:25.95
to thee.
00:50:30.96\00:50:33.29
It's so important for us to
practice the presence of God.
00:50:43.94\00:50:51.75
We will pray that God be with
us and wrap his arms around us
00:50:53.58\00:51:04.09
and protect us and shield us.
00:51:04.09\00:51:07.60
But then we're moving around
so fast that it's not that he
00:51:08.56\00:51:14.84
can't keep up with us, but
that we just, we wander off.
00:51:14.84\00:51:21.11
Our mind wanders off and our
actions don't portray someone
00:51:22.04\00:51:28.02
who is being held by God and
who is needing him to draw near
00:51:28.02\00:51:33.46
to us.
00:51:33.46\00:51:40.06
his presence.
00:51:40.06\00:51:41.96
And there's such a comfort in
knowing that he is faithful to
00:51:43.83\00:51:48.80
be there.
00:51:48.80\00:51:54.11
a writer woke up and thought,
wow, these words rhyme and sky
00:51:54.11\00:51:59.15
and fly and
bye-bye and apple pie.
00:51:59.15\00:52:02.35
No, these were songs that
these words, people were going
00:52:02.35\00:52:06.79
through things when
they wrote these words.
00:52:06.79\00:52:09.36
So I just encourage you to
meditate on these songs and be
00:52:09.86\00:52:15.26
encouraged that when you sing
these songs, he will draw close
00:52:15.26\00:52:19.30
to you.
00:52:19.30\00:52:22.67
love when you do.
00:52:22.67\00:52:23.61
And I'm going to take just
a moment and grab a drink of
00:52:23.84\00:52:27.08
water and then we'll come right
back and we'll sing a couple
00:52:27.08\00:52:30.08
more songs.
00:52:30.08\00:52:30.61
All right.
00:52:30.61\00:52:31.18
Thanks.
00:52:31.35\00:52:31.71
We'll see you soon.
00:52:31.88\00:52:32.41
