Hi, and welcome back to
Your Favorites by Request.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.77
This is a favorite
part of the program for me,
00:00:03.80\00:00:05.73
because I get to
interact with you, the viewer.
00:00:05.77\00:00:08.67
We usually have a caller
that we call about this time
00:00:08.70\00:00:11.61
and it may be someone you
know, someone you don't know,
00:00:11.64\00:00:14.61
it may be you, so
always be presentable,
00:00:14.64\00:00:17.55
have your hair combed
during this part of the program
00:00:17.58\00:00:20.15
because we may
be calling on you.
00:00:20.18\00:00:21.52
Today, I have a dear
friend who I know very well,
00:00:21.55\00:00:24.45
and he always has his hair
in place, every, every strand.
00:00:24.49\00:00:28.22
And this is Pastor C.A. Murray,
00:00:28.26\00:00:32.36
he is the general manager
of the 3ABN Proclaim channel.
00:00:32.39\00:00:35.93
C.A, how are you today?
00:00:35.96\00:00:37.43
I am doing well,
Tim. How are you?
00:00:37.47\00:00:39.20
I'm doing great. You
are looking wonderful.
00:00:39.23\00:00:41.07
Thank you so very
much for being with us.
00:00:41.10\00:00:43.74
And we're going to just
talk to you about music.
00:00:43.77\00:00:46.47
What does music mean to you?
00:00:46.51\00:00:49.14
Oh, music has always
been a part of my life.
00:00:49.18\00:00:51.75
I joined the church very young,
00:00:51.78\00:00:54.18
and the church I
joined at Buffalo,
00:00:54.22\00:00:56.45
New York had several
choirs, the children's choir,
00:00:56.48\00:00:58.89
and there was a one choir
00:00:58.92\00:01:00.26
called the
Emmanuel Temple Choral,
00:01:00.29\00:01:02.69
the guys you may
know from take six,
00:01:02.72\00:01:04.99
their parents were in that choir
00:01:05.03\00:01:07.40
and it was a great choir,
00:01:07.43\00:01:10.67
traveling choir and
you would have to be 13
00:01:10.70\00:01:12.70
and above to get into it,
00:01:12.73\00:01:14.07
so we couldn't
wait till we turned 13
00:01:14.10\00:01:16.20
to leave the children's choir
and get into the adult choir.
00:01:16.24\00:01:19.24
Right. So that was a
great challenge in our lives.
00:01:19.27\00:01:22.14
Oh, that's awesome,
00:01:22.18\00:01:23.51
what a great
legacy of music required,
00:01:23.55\00:01:25.95
that's a kind of a
dying thing in the churches.
00:01:25.98\00:01:30.52
You know it is,
and when I pastored
00:01:30.55\00:01:32.22
I always wanted
to have my own choir,
00:01:32.25\00:01:34.26
so I also started the choir
00:01:34.29\00:01:36.66
that I took
with me to, you know,
00:01:36.69\00:01:38.19
when I traveled around.
00:01:38.23\00:01:39.63
It was a way to keep the young
people involved in the church
00:01:39.66\00:01:41.96
and it sort of replicated
what I grew up in, you know,
00:01:42.00\00:01:44.73
when I grew up there
in Buffalo, New York.
00:01:44.77\00:01:46.10
Oh, that's wonderful, wonderful.
00:01:46.13\00:01:47.47
I hope more
churches will reinstate
00:01:47.50\00:01:49.60
the choir into the church.
00:01:49.64\00:01:51.64
What about the
favorite songs you have?
00:01:51.67\00:01:54.28
Oh, my favorite song is one
that you helped me work with,
00:01:54.31\00:01:58.31
the first song on
that we did on my project,
00:01:58.35\00:02:01.45
"I'll tell the world
that I'm a Christian".
00:02:01.48\00:02:03.02
Oh, yeah.
00:02:03.05\00:02:04.39
I had some medical issues
00:02:04.42\00:02:05.75
then I think the Lord
sort of gave me that song
00:02:05.79\00:02:07.16
so to keep my mind occupied
00:02:07.19\00:02:08.72
while we're going
through some therapy back then,
00:02:08.76\00:02:12.49
but it has been and it's
still one of my favorite.
00:02:12.53\00:02:15.83
Oh, and I remember,
that was a great version,
00:02:15.86\00:02:17.87
I love your style.
00:02:17.90\00:02:19.37
And you brought
that style to this song
00:02:19.40\00:02:21.64
and I'm going to just
play a little bit of it
00:02:21.67\00:02:24.11
and you can sing along,
00:02:24.14\00:02:25.47
and we invite you at
home to sing along too.
00:02:25.51\00:02:28.61
I'll tell the world
00:02:28.64\00:02:32.88
That I'm a Christian
00:02:32.91\00:02:37.19
I'm not ashamed
00:02:37.22\00:02:41.09
His name to bear
00:02:41.12\00:02:43.93
That I'm a Christian
00:02:50.80\00:02:54.87
I'll take Him with me
00:02:54.90\00:02:59.41
Everywhere
00:02:59.44\00:03:01.91
And I know that if you trust Him
00:03:19.46\00:03:25.00
That all He gave me
00:03:25.03\00:03:27.77
He'll give to you
00:03:27.80\00:03:32.24
I'll tell the world
00:03:32.27\00:03:36.01
That I'm a Christian
00:03:36.04\00:03:40.12
I'm not ashamed
00:03:40.15\00:03:43.42
His name to bear
00:03:43.45\00:03:47.52
I'll tell the world
00:03:47.56\00:03:51.66
That I'm a Christian
00:03:51.69\00:03:55.83
And I'll take Him with me
00:03:55.86\00:04:00.44
Everywhere
00:04:00.47\00:04:02.90
I'll tell the
world, I'm a Christian
00:04:06.84\00:04:08.18
and take Him with me everywhere.
00:04:08.21\00:04:10.15
Great, great song,
C.A. Thank you so very much.
00:04:10.18\00:04:12.78
Oh, my pleasure. Sweet.
00:04:12.81\00:04:15.18
There are a lot of
songs in the hymnal
00:04:15.22\00:04:17.39
just as I've mentioned
before multi-thousands of songs
00:04:17.42\00:04:22.09
that have been
written through the years,
00:04:22.12\00:04:24.26
and I don't even claim
to know a percent of those.
00:04:24.29\00:04:29.93
I will get
requests from you that...
00:04:29.96\00:04:32.93
It's like you're
trying to stump the panel.
00:04:32.97\00:04:35.54
But I'll run to the hymnal
and I'll find these treasures.
00:04:35.57\00:04:39.51
So I want to thank you
for bringing those songs
00:04:39.54\00:04:42.01
to my mind as I,
as you request them,
00:04:42.04\00:04:45.01
and I look them
up and learn them.
00:04:45.05\00:04:47.12
This is one of those
that is an older hymnal,
00:04:47.15\00:04:49.88
I had older hymn,
00:04:49.92\00:04:51.32
and it says, "Master
the Tempest is Raging",
00:04:51.35\00:04:53.76
such a great
picture as we sing this,
00:04:53.79\00:04:57.49
you can hear the
raging in the melody
00:04:57.53\00:05:00.20
so very smartly written.
00:05:00.23\00:05:04.03
Master, the tempest is raging!
00:05:04.07\00:05:07.94
The billows are tossing high!
00:05:07.97\00:05:11.81
The sky is
o'ershadowed with blackness
00:05:11.84\00:05:15.71
No shelter or help is nigh
00:05:15.74\00:05:20.08
"Carest thou
not that we perish?"
00:05:20.12\00:05:24.19
How canst thou lie asleep
00:05:24.22\00:05:27.46
When each moment so
madly is threatening
00:05:27.49\00:05:31.49
A grave in the angry deep?
00:05:31.53\00:05:35.46
The winds and
the waves shall obey
00:05:35.50\00:05:38.50
Thy will Peace be still!
00:05:38.53\00:05:43.51
Whether the wrath
of the storm-tossed sea
00:05:43.54\00:05:47.24
Or demons, or men,
or whatever it may be
00:05:47.28\00:05:51.01
No water can
swallow the ship where lies
00:05:51.05\00:05:54.75
The Master of
ocean and earth and skies
00:05:54.78\00:06:00.39
They all shall
sweetly obey Thy will!
00:06:00.42\00:06:04.49
Peace be still! Peace be still!
00:06:04.53\00:06:08.06
They all shall
sweetly obey Thy will!
00:06:08.10\00:06:12.40
Peace! Peace! Be still!
00:06:12.43\00:06:17.17
Master, with anguish of spirit
00:06:17.21\00:06:20.94
I bow in my grief today
00:06:20.98\00:06:25.05
The depths of my
sad heart are troubled
00:06:25.08\00:06:29.15
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
00:06:29.18\00:06:33.46
Torrents of sin and of anguish
00:06:33.49\00:06:37.26
Sweep o'er my sinking soul
00:06:37.29\00:06:40.70
And I perish! I
perish! dear Master.
00:06:40.73\00:06:44.93
Oh, hasten, and take control
00:06:44.97\00:06:48.87
The winds and
the waves shall obey
00:06:48.90\00:06:51.84
Thy will Peace be still!
00:06:51.87\00:06:56.85
Whether the wrath
of the storm-tossed sea
00:06:56.88\00:07:00.45
Or demons, or
men, or whatever it be
00:07:00.48\00:07:04.22
No water can
swallow the ship where lies
00:07:04.25\00:07:08.09
The Master of
ocean and earth and skies
00:07:08.12\00:07:13.70
They all shall
sweetly obey Thy will!
00:07:13.73\00:07:17.67
Peace be still! Peace be still!
00:07:17.70\00:07:21.17
They all shall
sweetly obey Thy will!
00:07:21.20\00:07:25.27
Peace! Peace! Be still!
00:07:25.31\00:07:31.45
Master, the terror is over
00:07:31.48\00:07:35.35
The elements sweetly rest
00:07:35.38\00:07:39.29
Earth's sun in the
calm lake is mirrored
00:07:39.32\00:07:43.36
And heaven's
within my breast Linger
00:07:43.39\00:07:48.66
O blessed Redeemer!
00:07:48.70\00:07:51.60
Leave me alone no more
00:07:51.63\00:07:55.04
And with joy I shall
make the blest harbor
00:07:55.07\00:07:59.21
And rest on the blissful shore
00:07:59.24\00:08:03.14
The winds and the
waves shall obey Thy will
00:08:03.18\00:08:07.35
Peace be still!
00:08:07.38\00:08:11.32
Whether the wrath
of the storm-tossed sea
00:08:11.35\00:08:14.76
Or demons, or
men, or whatever it be
00:08:14.79\00:08:18.46
No water can
swallow the ship where lies
00:08:18.49\00:08:22.26
The Master of
ocean and earth and skies
00:08:22.30\00:08:28.17
They all shall
sweetly obey Thy will!
00:08:28.20\00:08:32.27
Peace be still! Peace be still!
00:08:32.31\00:08:35.91
They all shall
sweetly obey Thy will!
00:08:35.94\00:08:40.22
Peace! Peace!
00:08:40.25\00:08:42.48
Be still!
00:08:42.52\00:08:50.49
Our next song goes out to
Mr. Simmons from Eaton, Ohio,
00:08:50.53\00:08:53.76
who says, this song reminds him
00:08:53.80\00:08:55.63
that God has always
been there with him.
00:08:55.66\00:08:57.93
It's a timeless favorite,
00:08:57.97\00:08:59.33
with a timeless
message from Andrae Crouch,
00:08:59.37\00:09:02.07
"Through It All".
00:09:02.10\00:09:03.44
I've had many tears and sorrows
00:09:11.08\00:09:14.38
I've had questions for tomorrow
00:09:14.42\00:09:17.72
There've been times I
didn't know right from wrong
00:09:17.75\00:09:24.03
But in every situation God
gave me blessed consolation
00:09:24.06\00:09:31.03
That my trials come
To only make me strong
00:09:31.07\00:09:37.71
On another verse.
00:09:37.74\00:09:39.07
I've been to lots of places
And I've seen lots of faces
00:09:39.11\00:09:45.11
There've been
times I felt so all alone
00:09:45.15\00:09:52.22
But in my lonely hours
00:09:52.25\00:09:55.56
Yes, those precious lonely hours
00:09:55.59\00:09:59.16
Jesus lets me
know That I was His own
00:09:59.19\00:10:05.13
So I sing through it all
00:10:05.17\00:10:09.97
Through it all I've
learned to trust in Jesus
00:10:10.01\00:10:16.31
I've learned to trust in God
00:10:16.34\00:10:20.05
Through it all Through it all
00:10:20.08\00:10:26.49
I've learned to
depend upon His Word
00:10:26.52\00:10:33.03
So I thank God for the mountains
00:10:33.06\00:10:36.80
And I thank Him for the valleys
00:10:36.83\00:10:40.10
And I thank Him for the storms
00:10:40.14\00:10:43.27
He's brought me through
00:10:43.30\00:10:46.88
For if I'd never had a problem
00:10:46.91\00:10:51.11
I wouldn't know
that God could solve them
00:10:51.15\00:10:54.45
I'd never know what
Faith in God could do
00:10:54.48\00:10:58.85
Sing it out now.
00:10:58.89\00:11:00.22
Singing now Through
it all Through it all
00:11:00.26\00:11:07.26
I've learned to trust in Jesus
00:11:07.30\00:11:10.37
And I've learned to trust in God
00:11:10.40\00:11:13.90
Oh, through it
all Through it all
00:11:13.94\00:11:20.21
I've learned to
depend upon His Word
00:11:20.24\00:11:27.15
I've learned to depend
00:11:27.18\00:11:31.25
Upon His Word
00:11:31.29\00:11:37.43
