KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING,
AND I NEVER KNOW WHERE THEY ARE
00:09:26.36\00:09:30.87

SONG I WAS IN FLORIDA

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN SUNDAY
MORNING SERVICE IN NEW YORK, SO
00:09:34.67\00:09:40.68
I WAS GETTING READY IN MY HOTEL
ROOM IN FLORIDA, AND GOD JUST
00:09:40.68\00:09:46.11
DROPPED THIS ON ME. AND
I WAS PLANNING ON SLEEPING
00:09:46.11\00:09:51.02
ON THE PLANE BETWEEN
FLORIDA AND NEW YORK.
00:09:51.02\00:09:54.66
WELL, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
00:09:54.66\00:10:02.33

THE THIRD VOICE OF THE TRIO
FOR ALMOST FIVE DECADES, DAVE
00:11:31.02\00:11:38.06
PETERSON, PASSED AWAY, AND
LAST SPRING, IT HAS BEEN VERY
00:11:38.06\00:11:44.43
DIFFICULT FOR MARIETA AND I AND
HIS FAMILY TO COME TO GRIPS WITH
00:11:44.43\00:11:56.95
THE FACT THAT DAVE
IS NO LONGER WITH US.
00:11:56.95\00:12:01.12
HE HAD THIS WIDE
RANGE OF DYNAMICS.
00:12:01.12\00:12:05.02
HIS PERSONALITY WAS INFECTIOUS
WHEN HE WOULD COME INO THE
00:12:05.02\00:12:08.66
ROOM, HE WOULD JUST LIGHT
IT UP WITH JOY AND LAUGHTER.
00:12:08.66\00:12:14.66
HIS LOVE FOR GOD UNMISTAKABLE.
HIS LIFE -- HE SPENT ALL OF HIS
00:12:14.66\00:12:21.77
LIFE, ALL OF HIS LIFE, SINGING
AND PREACHING THE GOSPEL, AND SO
00:12:21.77\00:12:26.81
WE WANT TO DEDICATE THIS NEXT
SONG TO DAVE'S WIFE BONITA, AND
00:12:26.81\00:12:33.68
THE REST OF HIS FAMILY,
BECAUSE DAVE SANG ON THIS SONG,
00:12:33.68\00:12:40.79
AND -- SO AND JESUS REALLY
DID MEAN EVERYTHING TO DAVE
00:12:40.79\00:12:51.07
PETERSON. SO WE
DEDICATE THIS TO HIS WIFE.
00:12:51.07\00:12:57.37

WEREN'T PLANNING ON BEING HERE,
00:21:47.80\00:21:51.34
BUT TE LORD BROUGHT YOU
HERE. SPEAK TO US A MINUTE.
00:21:51.34\00:21:55.24
GIVE US SOME WORD. >>
WE ALL GREW UP WITH THESE
00:21:55.24\00:21:59.15
SONGS. AND I'M
REMINDED OF A SCRIPTURE
00:21:59.15\00:22:01.92
IT SAYS WHERE TWO OR THREE ARE
GATHERED IN HIS NAME, THERE HE
00:22:01.92\00:22:07.66
IS IN THEIR MIDST. SO
WHEN WE GATHER LIKE THIS, THE
00:22:07.66\00:22:12.06
VERY PRESENCE OF
GOD COMES INTO THE ROOM.
00:22:12.06\00:22:15.06
GOD, WHEN WE'RE BY OURSELVES,
GOD CAN SHOW UP AND MINISTER TO
00:22:15.06\00:22:18.67
US, BUT THE PLACE WHEN THERE'S
TWO PEOPLE, JESUS SAID WHERE TWO
00:22:18.67\00:22:22.80
OR MORE OF YOU --
THERE'S A REASON HE SAID THAT.
00:22:22.80\00:22:25.74
BECAUSE THE PLACE OF AGREEMENT,
THE PLACE WHEN TWO PEOPLE COME
00:22:25.74\00:22:29.34
TOGETHER AND SEEK THE LORD, HE
HONORS THAT WITH HIS PRESENCE IN
00:22:29.34\00:22:33.42
A SPECIAL WAY, AND WE SENSE
THAT TODAY, AND WE HOPE THAT YOU
00:22:33.42\00:22:38.65
SENSE THAT. YOU
KNOW, THE PRESENCE OF THE
00:22:38.65\00:22:40.66
LORD IS TANGIBLE. IT'S
SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL.
00:22:40.66\00:22:43.79
SOMETHING YOU CAN KNOW IS REAL.
AND NOT JUST KNOW ABOUT HIM, BUT
00:22:43.79\00:22:47.86
KNOW HIM. >> YES.
00:22:47.86\00:22:49.46
>> AND HE WILL MAKE
HIS PRESENCE KNOWN TO YOU.
00:22:49.46\00:22:52.43
WE PRAY AS WE WORSHIP TODAY,
THAT THAT TANGIBLE PRESENCE OF
00:22:52.43\00:22:56.97
THE LORD COMES RIGHT IN
THE PLACE WHERE YOU ARE.
00:22:56.97\00:22:59.84
AND IF YOU ARE LIKE US, YOU GO
THROUGH DAYS WHEN YOU KNOW GOD
00:22:59.84\00:23:05.78
IS WITH YOU. WE
NEED TO KNOW THAT THE
00:23:05.78\00:23:08.58
PRESENCE OF THE
LORD IS ALWAYS WITH US.
00:23:08.58\00:23:10.65
HE'S IN THIS PLACE TODAY.
HE CAN BE WHERE YOU ARE TODAY.
00:23:10.65\00:23:14.82
>> AMEN. ¤
00:23:14.82\00:23:17.93
>> I'M GOING TO SING A SONG THAT
LANNY WROTE, AND I DON'T KNOW
00:23:17.93\00:23:23.70
HIS STORY ON HOW HE WROTE
IT, BUT IT WAS FOR A CHRISTMAS
00:23:23.70\00:23:27.77
MUSICAL, BUT IT'S A SONG THAT
I LIKE TO SING ALL YEAR LONG.
00:23:27.77\00:23:32.34
HE TALKS ABOUT THE LORD SEEKING
FOR US, AND THE WAY THIS SONG IS
00:23:32.34\00:23:38.88
WRITTEN, IT TELLS A STORY, AND
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE GREATNESS
00:23:38.88\00:23:46.05
OF GOD, HIS OMNIPOTENCE, ALL OF
THE GLORIOUS THINGS ABOUT HIM,
00:23:46.05\00:23:52.03
AND THEN HE KNEW ME A LONG TIME
AGO, AND IN THIS FIRST VERSE IT
00:23:52.03\00:23:59.27
TALKS ABOUT THE ETERNITY PASSED,
AND HE WAS SEEKING ME EVEN WAY
00:23:59.27\00:24:05.74
BACK THEN BEFORE -- I DIDN'T
KNOW I EXISTED, BUT HE HAD A
00:24:05.74\00:24:10.38
PLAN, AND HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR
LIFE, AND WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING
00:24:10.38\00:24:15.32
TODAY, I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
TO THE WORDS OF THIS SONG, AND
00:24:15.32\00:24:19.85
MAYBE GOD IS SEEKS -- SEEKING
FOR YOU, AND YOU HAVEN'T PAID
00:24:19.85\00:24:27.96
ATTENTION, OR YOU HAVEN'T
RECOGNIZED WHAT IT WAS, BUT YOU
00:24:27.96\00:24:31.50
JUST KEEP PRAYING AND SEEKING
HIS FACE, AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT
00:24:31.50\00:24:36.10
IT IS. SO LISTEN
TO THE WORDS OF THIS
00:24:36.10\00:24:38.51
SONG. IT TALKS
ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL
00:24:38.51\00:24:40.51
LOVE THA GOD HAS FOR US. ¤

¤ THE SAVIOR
WAS LOOKING FOR ME ¤
00:25:14.78\00:25:26.02
¤ HE WAS REACHING FOR ME ¤
¤ BUT I RESISTED HIS TOUCH ¤

¤ THINGS OF VALUE
IN EARTH'S MARKET ¤
00:25:47.44\00:25:55.22

THE MESSAGE THAT SAID MY HOUSE
IS FULL, BUT MY FIELD IS EMPTY.
00:28:24.07\00:28:30.47

[ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SONG.
00:32:41.49\00:32:43.43
THAT'S REALLY -- THAT'S A
MESSAGE FROM THE LORD, IT'S
00:32:43.43\00:32:48.63
BIBLICAL. MY HOUSE
IS FULL, BUT MY FEEL IS
00:32:48.63\00:32:53.70
EMPTY. WHERE ARE THE REAPERS?
00:32:53.70\00:32:55.54
AND THAT'S YOU AND ME.
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.
00:32:55.54\00:32:59.47
I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY THE
BLESSING OF GOD IS ON THE GO,

BUT THE BLESSING
OF GOD IS ON THE GO.
00:33:06.31\00:33:09.15
SO THE HARVEST IS READY, SO
WE HAVE TO DO OUR PART, AND GOD
00:33:09.15\00:33:14.39
DOES THE REST. YOU
DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY
00:33:14.39\00:33:17.83
PARTICULAR TALENT, YOU JUST TELL
YOUR OWN PERSONAL TESTIMONY.
00:33:17.83\00:33:24.33
IT'S NOT HOW MANY SCRIPTURES
YOU KNOW AND HOW MUCH BIBLE YOU
00:33:24.33\00:33:29.07
MEMORIZED, I IT'S YOUR
OWN PERSONAL TESTIMONY.
00:33:29.07\00:33:32.07
NO ONE CAN DEBATE YOU ON WHAT
GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU IN YOUR
00:33:32.07\00:33:36.14
LIFE. I MEAN, GOD HAS BEEN GOOD
TO ME.-JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, I
00:33:36.14\00:33:42.05
WENT THROUGH OPEN HEART SURGERY,
AND WE SAY PRAISE THE LORD.
00:33:42.05\00:33:49.92
BECAUSE GOD WAS
GOOD TO ME BEFORE THAT.
00:33:49.92\00:33:54.93
HE WAS GOOD TO ME THAT
I MADE IT THROUGH SURGERY.
00:33:54.93\00:33:57.80
SO GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.

00:36:49.67\00:36:53.88
TODAY. HONESTLY.
00:36:53.88\00:36:55.34
THINK OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD
THAT HE COULD LOVE US ENOUGH TO
00:36:55.34\00:36:59.15
REACH DOWN TO FALLEN MN AND
SAY I'M GOING TO MAKE A PLAN OF
00:36:59.15\00:37:04.25
SALVATION. A PLAN OF
SALVATION FOR -- NONE
00:37:04.25\00:37:06.62
OF US DESERVE IT.
THERE'S NO GOOD IN US
00:37:06.62\00:37:10.79
WHATSOEVER. BUT
JESUS LOVED US SO MUCH.
00:37:10.79\00:37:14.00
>> HOW GOOD IS GOD? >>
HE HAS BEEN GOOD TO US.
00:37:14.00\00:37:17.40
AND HE WILL BE
GOOD TO US CONTINUALLY.
00:37:17.40\00:37:21.07
WHEN WE FEEL LIKE HE IS NOT GOOD
TO US, IT'S BECAUSE WE ARE NOT
00:37:21.07\00:37:29.48
LISTENING TO HIM. >> MY
FAVORITE SCRIPTURE, FOR I
00:37:29.48\00:37:32.58
KNOW THE PLANS THAT I HAVE FOR
YOU, DECLARES THE LORD, PLANS TO
00:37:32.58\00:37:37.49
PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO HARM YOU.
PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A
00:37:37.49\00:37:42.12
FUTURE. NOW, A
LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:37:42.12\00:37:45.06
CHRISTIANS, THEY FIND OF
HAVE THIS VISUAL IMAGE OF THE
00:37:45.06\00:37:49.40
IMPORTANCE OF THIS SCRIPTURE.
PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET, STICK IT
00:37:49.40\00:37:54.54
IN YOUR BIBLE, BUT THIS IS
HOW BIG AND HOW IMPORTANT THIS
00:37:54.54\00:37:59.84
SCRIPTURE IS FOR WHAT
GOD WANTS IT TO MEAN TO US.
00:37:59.84\00:38:03.04
FOR I KNOW THE PLANS THAT I HAVE
FOR YOU, THAT I HAVE FOR YOU.
00:38:03.04\00:38:07.72
WOW, ALL OF MY LIFE, I HAVE
LIVED BY KNOWING THAT GOD HAS A
00:38:07.72\00:38:13.19
PLAN FOR MY LIFE. I WAS
BORN WITH FLAT FEET, OKAY?
00:38:13.19\00:38:18.39
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND
DIDN'T REALLY KNOW IT
00:38:18.39\00:38:20.06
UNTIL WE STARTED BUYING
SCHOOL SHOES, SO WE WENT TO THE
00:38:20.06\00:38:24.83
SHOE -- SHOE STORE THEN, HELLO.
AND BOUGHT BUSTER BROWN SHOES.
00:38:24.83\00:38:30.04
NOW SOME OF YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE.
00:38:30.04\00:38:33.64
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
THAT GOES WAY BACK.
00:38:33.64\00:38:36.04
>> AND WE PUT
COOKIES IN THEM. OKAY.
00:38:36.04\00:38:40.45
TO KIND OF BUILD UP
THE ARCH, SUPPORT THE ARCH?
00:38:40.45\00:38:44.92
>> COOKIES? >> THEY ARE COMMON
00:38:44.92\00:38:51.96
COOKIES -- YOU DIDN'T EAT THEM.
>> THAT'S SHOWING THEIR AGE.
00:38:51.96\00:38:58.30
>> IT WAS PADDING. SO I
THOUGHT I'LL JUST LIVE WITH
00:38:58.30\00:39:02.30
THIS. I HAVE
COOKIES IN MY SHOES.
00:39:02.30\00:39:05.97
[ LAUGHTER ] >> SO
SEVENTH GRADE COMES, AND I
00:39:05.97\00:39:09.18
GOT OUT OF PE BECAUSE I HAD FLAT
FEET, AND AT THE TIME I THOUGHT
00:39:09.18\00:39:13.82
IT WAS REALLY KIND OF COOL, HEY,
I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE PHYS-ED,
00:39:13.82\00:39:18.92
BUT IN RETROSPECT, RYAN, NOW
I DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE INS AND
00:39:18.92\00:39:23.56
OUTS AND DETAILS OF
FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, AND BIBLE.
00:39:23.56\00:39:26.56
SO IF I'M WATCHING A FOOTBALL
GAME, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT
00:39:26.56\00:39:30.67
IS HAPPENING AT THE YARD LINE
AND ALL OF THE PENALTIES AND ALL
00:39:30.67\00:39:33.94
OF THAT -- >>
IT'S NOT REALLY THAT
00:39:33.94\00:39:36.74
IMPORTANT. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:39:36.74\00:39:37.51
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO
WHEN OTHER GUYS WERE PLAYING
00:39:37.51\00:39:41.51
FOOTBALL, I WAS
PLAYING THE PIANO.
00:39:41.51\00:39:45.08
I TOOK LESSONS AT
AGE 9 FROM FRANK MEYER.
00:39:45.08\00:39:49.88
AND HE GAVE ME A LESSON -- HE
WOULD DRAW CARTOONS THROUGH MY
00:39:49.88\00:39:56.42
LESSON. SO I WAS
WITH HIM FOR TWO YEARS,
00:39:56.42\00:40:00.26
THEN HE TOLD ME,
I'M MOVING TO FLORIDA.
00:40:00.26\00:40:04.77
WELL, I DON'T THINK HE DID.
BUT FROM THEN OUT IT WAS JUST
00:40:04.77\00:40:09.60
GOD AND ME AND JOHN
W PETERSON AND WILLIS.
00:40:09.60\00:40:15.51
SO I TAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO PLAY
THE PIANO, AND AT AGE 16 I WROTE
00:40:15.51\00:40:21.72
MY FIRST SONG. >>
LET'S HERE -- HEAR IT.
00:40:21.72\00:40:29.36
>> IF YOU
PROMISE YOU DON'T LAUGH.
00:40:29.36\00:40:33.80
>> NO, WE WON'T
PROMISE. >> OKAY.
00:40:33.80\00:40:37.97
¤ GOD IS WONDERFUL, HE
SAVED MY SOUL FROM SIN ¤
00:40:37.97\00:40:42.77
>> I WONDER WHAT IS COMING. ¤
ONCE MY SOUL IS BLIND, BUT NOW
00:40:42.77\00:40:48.91
I SEE WITHIN ¤ ¤
SOON I'M GOING HOME ¤
00:40:48.91\00:40:53.62
¤ TO LIVE FOREVER MORE
¤ ¤ GOD SHALL BE THEN MORE
00:40:53.62\00:41:00.29
WONDERFUL THAN
BEFORE ¤ [ LAUGHTER ]
00:41:00.29\00:41:05.06
>> SO THAT'S WHAT
GOD GAVE ME AT 16.
00:41:05.06\00:41:10.23
I GOT A SCHOLARSHIP
TO OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY.
00:41:10.23\00:41:14.47
STARTED OU IN
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING.
00:41:14.47\00:41:16.97
I COULD HAVE STAYED WITH THAT,
BUT I DECIDED I DIDN'T WANT TO
00:41:16.97\00:41:20.88
DEVOTE MY LIFE TO BUILDING,
BUILDINGS, SO I SWITCHED TO
-BUSINESS EDUCATION, MATH, AND
00:41:20.88\00:41:27.72
AFTER SIX YEARS AT OHIO STATE
AND TWO DEGREES IN BUSINESS, GOD
00:41:27.72\00:41:34.99
CALLED ME UP AND SAY, BY THE
WAY, MY PLAN FOR YOU IS NOT TO
00:41:34.99\00:41:40.20
BUILD BUILDINGS, BUT MY
PLAN FOR YOU IS TO BUILD SONGS.
00:41:40.20\00:41:45.33
>> YEAH. >> BECAUSE
I TRUSTED GOD, I WENT
00:41:45.33\00:41:48.07
BACK TO SCHOOL, GOT MY
FIRST DEGREE IN MUSIC EDUCATION.
00:41:48.07\00:41:51.94
>> OKAY. >> SO
IT'S LIKE I WATED GOD'S
00:41:51.94\00:41:55.61
PLAN FOR MY LIFE. THE
REAL PROBLEM WE HAVE IS A
00:41:55.61\00:41:59.58
LOT OF TIME, TIM, WE
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
00:41:59.58\00:42:03.08
WE FLOUNDER
AROUND TRYING TO FIND IT.
00:42:03.08\00:42:05.42
IT WAS 1968, AND I WAS JUST
READY TO TURN 26, SO I GOT THIS
00:42:05.42\00:42:12.56
INVITATION FROM THE
ARMY TO TAKE A PHYSICAL.
00:42:12.56\00:42:15.70
WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF VIETNAM
WAR, AND I'M TELLING YOU --
00:42:15.70\00:42:21.84
>> BUT YOU WERE FLAT FOOTED.
>> I'M TELLING YOU WHEN I GOT
00:42:21.84\00:42:25.31
THE LETTER -- WHEN I GOT THE
LETTER, MY WORLD CRASHED DOWN,
00:42:25.31\00:42:29.78
BECAUSE MY MIND WAS THINKING
ABOUT THE 68,000 YOUNG MEN AND
00:42:29.78\00:42:34.92
WOMEN THAT DIDN'T COME BACK FROM
VIETNAM, AND I THOUGHT LORD, IF
00:42:34.92\00:42:39.82
I GO TO VIETNAM, THERE IS SUCH
A GOOD CHANCE THAT I WILL NEVER
00:42:39.82\00:42:43.69
COME BACK. I
WILL NEVER GET TO TAKE
00:42:43.69\00:42:46.23
ADVANTAGE OF ALL
OF THE SCHOOLING.
00:42:46.23\00:42:48.03
SO RELUCTANTLY I TOOK THE
PHYSICAL -- WELL, I HAD TO.
00:42:48.03\00:42:51.53
THERE WAS NO CHOICE.
I WAITED FOR THE LETTER.
00:42:51.53\00:42:54.94
THE LETTER CAME BACK, AND I
OPENED IT, AND IT WAS WE ARE
00:42:54.94\00:43:01.31
SORRY TO INFORM YOU, YOU HAVE
BEEN REJECTED FOR SERVICE IN
THE-pUNITED STATES ARMY.
00:43:01.31\00:43:07.45
REASON, FLAT
FEET. >> THERE YOU GO.
00:43:07.45\00:43:09.12
>> WHAT A BLESSING. >> OKAY.
00:43:09.12\00:43:11.29
>> SO AFTER THAT, I
-- I STARTED WRITING.
00:43:11.29\00:43:14.86
I GOT A SECOND MASTER'S DEGREE
IN MUSIC, FORMED A TRIO, WE GOT
00:43:14.86\00:43:20.60
A RECORDING CONTRACT. I
STARTED TEACHING YOUNG PEOPLE
00:43:20.60\00:43:26.10
IN BIBLE COLLEGE FOR 20-SOME
YEARS, AND RIHT BEFORE MY 42ND
00:43:26.10\00:43:32.77
BIRTHDAY, 1982, I WENT TO
THE VINCENT COMPANY WITH ENOUGH
00:43:32.77\00:43:38.31
SONGS FOR TWO
MUSICALS, MY PLAN, MY PLAN.
00:43:38.31\00:43:43.72
AND THE PRESIDENT LAUGHED
IT OFF, AND THEY SAID CHURCHES
00:43:43.72\00:43:48.12
WON'T BY MUSICALS, BUT
THEY WILL BUY CHRISTMAS.
00:43:48.12\00:43:52.09
WHY DON'T YOU WRITE A SONG
ABOUT EYE SARAH -- ISAIAH 9:6.
00:43:52.09\00:44:05.87
AND CAME BACK, AND HE SAID,
LANNY, QUOTE, YOU CAN WRITE A
00:44:05.87\00:44:11.28
BETTER SONG. I
BEGGED, PLEADS, EVERYTHING,
00:44:11.28\00:44:14.62
THEY FINALLY LET ME PUT THIS
SONG IN THE CHRISTMAS MUSICAL.
00:44:14.62\00:44:19.59
I SUGGESTED THAT WE DO A DUET
ARRANGEMENT, DON MARSH DID ONE
00:44:19.59\00:44:27.66
ORCHESTRATION, THE
PRESIDENT SAID, I DON'T LIKE IT.
00:44:27.66\00:44:32.03
THROW IT AWAY. START OVER.
00:44:32.03\00:44:35.30
SO I DID A SECOND ARRANGEMENT,
AND THEN THE REST IS HISTORY.
00:44:35.30\00:44:40.21
THE REST IS HISTORY. AND
THE NAME OF THAT SONG, OF
00:44:40.21\00:44:46.35
COURSE, WAS NOT GOD IS
WONDERFUL, BUT 26 YEARS LATER,
00:44:46.35\00:44:51.02
MORE THAN
WONDERFUL. >> ALL RIGHT.
00:44:51.02\00:44:52.95
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE, YVONNE WHEN
I WAS JUST A 16 YEAR OLD KID
00:44:52.95\00:44:57.73
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT GOD
WANTED ME TO DO, AND HE GAVE ME
00:44:57.73\00:45:01.70
A SONG, AND HE IS THINKING,
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS NOW.
00:45:01.70\00:45:05.07
I'M GIVING YOU YOUR FIRST SONG,
BUT 26 YEARS DOWN THE PIKE, I'M
00:45:05.07\00:45:10.57
GOING TO GIVE YOU A SONG THAT
IS MORE WONDERFUL THAN THIS ONE.
00:45:10.57\00:45:13.51
>> COME ON. >> NOW
PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, IF
00:45:13.51\00:45:18.85
I HAD MY WAY AT THE BENSON
COMPANY, AND WE WOULD HAVE
00:45:18.85\00:45:22.55
WRITTEN A SECOND-COMING MUSICAL,
THE SONG MORE WONDERFUL WOULD
00:45:22.55\00:45:28.52
NEVER HAVE BEEN SIGNED, IT WOULD
NEVER BEEN WRITTEN, IT WOULD NOT
00:45:28.52\00:45:33.50
HAVE BEEN, BUT I KNOW THE PLANS
THAT I HAVE FOR YOU, AND I'M
00:45:33.50\00:45:37.43
HERE TO TELL YOU, FOLKS, THAT
LIKE, WE SERVE A GOOD GOD, AND
00:45:37.43\00:45:41.64
HE LOVES US, AND HE HAS A
GREAT PLAN FOR US, SO SANDY AND

LARNEL, THAT SANG
IT TO -- ABOUT HIM.
00:45:48.68\00:45:56.18
SO NOW INSTEAD OF SINGING
ABOUT HIM, WE MADE IT PRAISE AND
00:45:56.18\00:46:00.86
WORSHIP, AND THEY ARE SINGING TO
HIM IN "YOU ARE MORE WONDERFUL".
00:46:00.86\00:46:07.50
WATCH OUT SANDY AND
LARNEL. >> WE LOVE THIS SONG.
00:46:07.50\00:46:11.17

00:49:50.99\00:49:55.36
SEVEN MINUTES LEFT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
00:49:55.36\00:49:58.03
THIS IS YOUR PROGRAM.
I'M ENJOYING THIS AND BEING
00:49:58.03\00:50:01.73
BLESSED. AREN'T YOU ALL?
00:50:01.73\00:50:02.63
>> I WOULD LIKE TO RELAY A SHORT
STORY ABOUT A MISSIONARY ON
00:50:02.63\00:50:10.67
FURLOUGH, AND HE
TRUE STORY TO HIS CHURCH.
00:50:10.67\00:50:15.28
HE SERVED AT A
SMALL HOSPITAL IN AFRICA.
00:50:15.28\00:50:21.25
HE WOULD RIDE HIS BIKE TO
THE CITY TO GET MEDICINES AND
00:50:21.25\00:50:27.39
SUPPLIES. ONE TRIP
TO THE CITY, HE SAW TWO
00:50:27.39\00:50:30.86
BOYS FIGHTING, AND
ONE WAS SEVERELY HURT.
00:50:30.86\00:50:35.10
SO HE TENDED TO HIS WOUNDS.
LORD HIM ABOUT THE LORD, WENT
00:50:35.10\00:50:39.53
BACK HOME EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
TWO WEEKS LATER, WENT BACK TO
00:50:39.53\00:50:43.24
THE CITY, AND THAT SAME BOY CAME
UP TO HIM AND SAID REMEMBER ME?
00:50:43.24\00:50:48.98
AND HE SAID, YES.
AND HE SAID, WE FOLLOWED
00:50:48.98\00:50:52.61
YOU -- BECAUSE THIS WAS A
TWO-DAY JOURNEY, AND IN THE
00:50:52.61\00:50:56.12
MIDDLE THEY HAD TO
CAMP OUT IN THE JUNGLE.
00:50:56.12\00:50:59.85
SO THE BOY SAID WE FOLLOWED
YOU, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
00:50:59.85\00:51:07.03
WHEN YOU CAMPED OUT, WE -- ME
AND MY FIVE FRIENDS WERE GOING
00:51:07.03\00:51:13.34
TO KILL YOU, WE WERE GOING TO
STEAL YOUR DRUGS AND YOUR MONEY,
00:51:13.34\00:51:17.64
BUT WHEN YOU WERE COMING UP TO
YOUR COME, YOU WERE SURROUNDED
00:51:17.64\00:51:22.78
BY 26 ARMED
GUARDS. >> ALL RIGHT.
00:51:22.78\00:51:26.28
>> AND THE MISSIONARY SAID, NO,
NO, NO, I WAS THERE BY MYSELF.
00:51:26.28\00:51:30.65
AND THE BOY, SAID, NO, NO, YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND, THERE ARE WERE
00:51:30.65\00:51:35.82
26 ARMS GUARDS. I KNOW.
00:51:35.82\00:51:38.99
ALL FIVE US OF SAW
THEM AND COUNTED THEM.
00:51:38.99\00:51:41.93
AT THAT MOMENT A GENTLEMEN IN
THE CONGRESSATION SAID WHAT DAY
00:51:41.93\00:51:51.61
WAS THAT? >> AND
HE SAID THIS DAY.
00:51:51.61\00:51:55.54
HE SAID THAT EVENING I WAS
PLAYING GOD WAITING TO PUT AND
00:51:55.54\00:52:01.58
GOD STOPPED ME AND SAID PRAY FOR
THIS MISSIONARY, AND I WAS SO
00:52:01.58\00:52:07.12
POWERFUL, I HAD TO GET OUT MY
CELL PHONE TO ASK MEN TO COME TO
00:52:07.12\00:52:17.33
MY CHURCH TO PRAY
FOR THIS MISSIONARY.
00:52:17.33\00:52:22.70
AND HE SAID WILL
ALL OF YOU MEN JOIN ME.
00:52:22.70\00:52:27.64
AND THE MISSIONARY WAS MOSTLY
CONCERNED ABOUT COUNTING THE
00:52:27.64\00:52:34.08
MEN. THERE WERE
26 MEN WHO STOOD.
00:52:34.08\00:52:39.09
