One of the things
that music does for me,
00:00:04.03\00:00:06.43
it has for me is
introduced me to a lot of people
00:00:06.47\00:00:09.30
who are now life long friends.
00:00:09.34\00:00:12.27
And I am joined now by
a great friend of mine,
00:00:12.31\00:00:15.14
he is a wonderful tenor singer
00:00:15.18\00:00:16.81
but a wonderful man
above everything else,
00:00:16.85\00:00:20.08
my friend Terry Franklin.
00:00:20.12\00:00:21.48
Terry, are you there?
00:00:21.52\00:00:22.85
Tim, I'm here.
Good to see you today.
00:00:22.88\00:00:25.02
Just good to be with you. Great.
00:00:25.05\00:00:26.79
Well, you and I have done,
00:00:26.82\00:00:28.16
we've done like
hundreds of songs together,
00:00:28.19\00:00:29.72
people don't even notice.
00:00:29.76\00:00:31.09
Right.
00:00:31.13\00:00:32.46
Demos of songs and...
00:00:32.49\00:00:33.83
Oh, goodness.
00:00:33.86\00:00:35.20
We sure have,
00:00:35.23\00:00:36.56
and it's always a blast
to get to work with you.
00:00:36.60\00:00:38.03
Through modern technology
00:00:38.07\00:00:39.77
I usually play
the song and then you,
00:00:39.80\00:00:41.67
I send it to you through email
00:00:41.70\00:00:43.27
so we don't ever actually
get to really see each other
00:00:43.30\00:00:45.87
all that often.
00:00:45.91\00:00:47.24
I know, yeah.
00:00:47.28\00:00:48.61
But we get, we get to
share in the gift of music
00:00:48.64\00:00:51.25
and music is certainly a gift,
00:00:51.28\00:00:53.15
I know, and I know that it is,
you have been gifted so much,
00:00:53.18\00:00:56.25
what a wonderful and a
talented person you are.
00:00:56.28\00:00:58.79
Tell me what music mean to you?
00:00:58.82\00:01:00.92
Well, music,
music means so much.
00:01:00.96\00:01:03.32
Music is in my head
every single day of my life.
00:01:03.36\00:01:06.09
I've told somebody,
00:01:06.13\00:01:07.46
I've got like the soundtrack
going on all the time.
00:01:07.50\00:01:10.17
I drive people crazy
around me, my wife Barbie,
00:01:10.20\00:01:13.34
drives her crazy
because I'm humming,
00:01:13.37\00:01:15.24
I'm whistling
constantly I've got,
00:01:15.27\00:01:17.04
it's either songs that I know,
00:01:17.07\00:01:20.01
ones that I like or
ones that I'm making up.
00:01:20.04\00:01:22.44
Right.
00:01:22.48\00:01:23.81
That's a way that it is
and I think it's a gift,
00:01:23.85\00:01:26.51
it's a gift that
God has given to us.
00:01:26.55\00:01:28.15
Right, right, and
you have a ministry,
00:01:28.18\00:01:30.69
you and your wife
Barbie travel and sing.
00:01:30.72\00:01:33.46
And so, that's,
00:01:33.49\00:01:35.02
how long have
you been doing that?
00:01:35.06\00:01:36.52
We've been doing
that for 32 years now.
00:01:36.56\00:01:39.73
Wow. Thirty two
years, good grief.
00:01:39.76\00:01:43.60
Thirty two years
we've been doing this.
00:01:43.63\00:01:45.17
Well, that's a
lot of hotel rooms.
00:01:45.20\00:01:47.04
That's a lot of singing.
00:01:47.07\00:01:49.47
We've been in now 38
countries around the world,
00:01:49.50\00:01:52.97
this is S. Terrie
and Barbie Franklin,
00:01:53.01\00:01:54.81
and we go out and
we ministered to folks,
00:01:54.84\00:01:57.05
ministered to families,
00:01:57.08\00:01:58.61
marriages are happening
and inspiring love in the home
00:01:58.65\00:02:01.52
and revival in the church
00:02:01.55\00:02:02.88
and that's kind of
what we are about basically.
00:02:02.92\00:02:04.62
Well, praise the Lord,
00:02:04.65\00:02:05.99
what a great ministry
and that's a lot of songs,
00:02:06.02\00:02:07.99
a lot of great memories.
00:02:08.02\00:02:09.52
And tell me now of may be a
favorite song that you have?
00:02:09.56\00:02:13.29
I love the song, is
called "Farther Along".
00:02:13.33\00:02:18.50
Farther Along to
me it's Psalms 37
00:02:18.53\00:02:22.10
is where the Psalmist David,
00:02:22.14\00:02:23.94
everyone will remember this,
00:02:23.97\00:02:25.77
"He said, Lord, why
did the wicked prosper,
00:02:25.81\00:02:28.38
why do they prosper?"
00:02:28.41\00:02:29.74
And really the whole
song kind of has that feeling,
00:02:29.78\00:02:32.05
and I know some of
you listeners out there.
00:02:32.08\00:02:34.12
They wondered,
you know, how come,
00:02:34.15\00:02:36.05
you know, I'm
trying to serve God,
00:02:36.08\00:02:37.49
I'm trying to
do the right thing,
00:02:37.52\00:02:38.85
but, boy, there
are people out there
00:02:38.89\00:02:40.22
that they are just
as wicked as anything,
00:02:40.26\00:02:42.19
and yet everything goes well.
00:02:42.22\00:02:43.76
They pay all their bills on time
00:02:43.79\00:02:45.43
and, you know, their kids
are doing the right things
00:02:45.46\00:02:48.93
and everything
and, you know how come,
00:02:48.96\00:02:51.50
how come the wicked prosper
00:02:51.53\00:02:52.87
and sometimes
the righteous suffer?
00:02:52.90\00:02:54.87
To me it's a unique song,
00:02:54.90\00:02:56.40
it's a unique song in
that way because of that.
00:02:56.44\00:02:58.21
That is so good Terrie,
00:02:58.24\00:02:59.74
and it goes so well
00:02:59.77\00:03:01.11
with what we've
already been seeing
00:03:01.14\00:03:02.78
about in the program,
we've talked about how David,
00:03:02.81\00:03:05.65
he was going
through such turmoil
00:03:05.68\00:03:07.32
in the Psalms 34,
00:03:07.35\00:03:09.85
he had been, he
was running from Saul
00:03:09.88\00:03:11.82
and he ran into
the Philistine land
00:03:11.85\00:03:14.26
and the king was
getting ready to throw him out
00:03:14.29\00:03:17.73
because he taught he was a spy.
00:03:17.76\00:03:19.53
And even in the
midst of that Psalm,
00:03:19.56\00:03:22.26
David wrote, "Bless
the Lord, O my soul:
00:03:22.30\00:03:24.53
and all that is within
me, bless his holy name."
00:03:24.57\00:03:27.74
And so, you know, you are right,
00:03:27.77\00:03:29.24
there is
discouragement that comes,
00:03:29.27\00:03:31.47
even when we feel like
we're doing the right thing,
00:03:31.51\00:03:34.44
and so this is
truly a great song,
00:03:34.48\00:03:37.15
I remember my
parents singing this song.
00:03:37.18\00:03:40.02
So I'm glad
you're gonna sing this
00:03:40.05\00:03:42.12
and I know you
are a tenor singer,
00:03:42.15\00:03:44.19
so we're gonna
get this up in a key
00:03:44.22\00:03:46.86
where you can sing it.
00:03:46.89\00:03:48.22
Yeah, I'm a
tenor singer on the way
00:03:48.26\00:03:50.99
to being a really good baritone.
00:03:51.03\00:03:52.66
Okay. Well.
00:03:52.69\00:03:54.30
Particularly
down here in Florida
00:03:54.33\00:03:55.80
where pollen
season has just kicked in.
00:03:55.83\00:03:57.30
Oh, my goodness. But
we're gonna do our best.
00:03:57.33\00:03:58.67
Right, absolutely.
00:03:58.70\00:04:00.04
Well, I look
forward to hearing it.
00:04:00.07\00:04:01.40
I'm gonna start it off.
00:04:01.44\00:04:02.77
Tempted and tried
00:04:08.58\00:04:12.18
We're oft made to wonder
00:04:12.21\00:04:18.45
Why it should be thus
00:04:18.49\00:04:23.16
All the day long
00:04:23.19\00:04:27.70
While there are others
00:04:27.73\00:04:32.40
Living about us
00:04:32.43\00:04:37.17
Never molested
00:04:37.21\00:04:41.94
Though in the wrong
00:04:41.98\00:04:48.12
Farther along
00:04:48.15\00:04:51.45
We'll know all about it
00:04:51.49\00:04:57.36
We'll understand why
00:05:00.86\00:05:06.67
Cheer up my brother
00:05:06.70\00:05:11.41
Live in the sunshine
00:05:11.44\00:05:16.11
We'll understand it
00:05:16.14\00:05:20.72
All by and by
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.88
Sing that chorus again.
00:05:22.92\00:05:25.39
Farther along
00:05:25.42\00:05:28.32
We'll know all about it
00:05:28.36\00:05:34.30
Farther along
00:05:34.33\00:05:37.53
We'll understand why
00:05:37.57\00:05:43.61
Cheer up my brother
00:05:43.64\00:05:48.61
Live in the sunshine
00:05:48.64\00:05:53.42
We'll understand it
00:05:53.45\00:05:58.12
All by and by
00:05:58.15\00:06:01.22
Cheer up, my brother.
00:06:01.26\00:06:02.86
Cheer up my brother
00:06:02.89\00:06:07.60
Live in the sunshine
00:06:07.63\00:06:12.37
We'll understand it
00:06:12.40\00:06:17.41
All by and by
00:06:17.44\00:06:22.41
That's great, Tim.
00:06:26.35\00:06:27.68
Excellent, Terrie.
Thank you so very much.
00:06:27.72\00:06:29.32
Thank you. Cheer up, my brother.
00:06:29.35\00:06:31.45
I love you so
much. There you go.
00:06:31.49\00:06:32.82
We'll talk to you soon. Okay.
00:06:32.85\00:06:34.19
Thanks.
00:06:34.22\00:06:35.56
See you around. All right.
00:06:35.59\00:06:36.93
Bye-bye. Bye.
00:06:36.96\00:06:38.86
Terrie was down in Florida,
00:06:38.89\00:06:40.36
and we have a viewer
who sent in a request,
00:06:40.40\00:06:44.17
Jose from Gainesville, Florida.
00:06:44.20\00:06:46.53
Gainesville, Florida.
00:06:46.57\00:06:47.90
He requested this hymn
00:06:47.94\00:06:49.84
that kind of goes
again with such the theme,
00:06:49.87\00:06:52.07
with such a tragic back story
of this writer of the song,
00:06:52.11\00:06:56.78
losing his
daughters in a ship accident.
00:06:56.81\00:06:59.51
May we learn to
say, whatever our light.
00:06:59.55\00:07:02.88
"It is well with our soul."
00:07:02.92\00:07:04.55
When peace like a river
00:07:10.33\00:07:16.40
Attendeth my way
00:07:16.43\00:07:21.20
When sorrows like
00:07:21.24\00:07:24.44
Sea billows roll
00:07:24.47\00:07:29.11
Whatever my lot
00:07:29.14\00:07:33.72
Thou hast taught me to say
00:07:33.75\00:07:39.22
"It is well, It is well
00:07:39.25\00:07:44.23
With my soul."
00:07:44.26\00:07:50.27
Though Satan should buffet
00:07:50.30\00:07:55.47
Though trials should come
00:07:55.50\00:08:00.38
Let this blest assurance
00:08:00.41\00:08:05.31
Control
00:08:05.35\00:08:08.08
That Christ hath regarded
00:08:08.12\00:08:13.39
My helpless estate
00:08:13.42\00:08:17.53
And has shed his own blood
00:08:17.56\00:08:22.86
For my soul
00:08:22.90\00:08:28.77
It is well
00:08:28.80\00:08:33.68
With my soul
00:08:33.71\00:08:38.95
It is well, It is well
00:08:38.98\00:08:44.12
With my soul
00:08:44.15\00:08:50.36
My sin oh, the bliss
00:08:50.39\00:08:54.66
Of this glorious thought!
00:08:54.70\00:09:00.30
My sin, not in part
00:09:00.34\00:09:04.64
But the whole
00:09:04.67\00:09:07.98
Is nailed to the cross
00:09:08.01\00:09:12.61
And I bear it no more
00:09:12.65\00:09:17.92
Praise the Lord
00:09:17.95\00:09:20.59
O praise the Lord
00:09:20.62\00:09:23.86
O my soul!
00:09:23.89\00:09:31.43
It is well
00:09:31.47\00:09:35.90
With my soul
00:09:35.94\00:09:40.44
It is well
00:09:40.48\00:09:43.04
It is well with my soul
00:09:43.08\00:09:49.68
It is well
00:10:32.93\00:10:38.70
With my soul
00:10:38.73\00:10:44.31
It is well, It is well
00:10:44.34\00:10:49.28
With my soul
00:10:49.31\00:10:53.82
It is well, It is well
00:10:53.85\00:10:59.52
With my soul
00:10:59.55\00:11:05.86
So be encouraged saints,
00:11:12.03\00:11:13.60
the Lord is coming back.
00:11:13.64\00:11:16.64
Soon He's is coming back
00:11:16.67\00:11:18.47
To welcome me
00:11:18.51\00:11:20.98
Far beyond the starry sky
00:11:21.01\00:11:25.11
I will wing my
flight to worlds unknown
00:11:25.15\00:11:29.08
I shall reign with Him on high
00:11:29.12\00:11:33.05
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
00:11:33.09\00:11:37.09
Sweetest name I know
00:11:37.13\00:11:40.90
Fills my every longing
00:11:40.93\00:11:44.70
Keeps me singing as I go
00:11:44.73\00:11:49.07
Keeps me singing
00:11:49.10\00:11:50.84
As I go
00:11:50.87\00:11:57.58
And that's my prayer,
00:11:57.61\00:11:58.95
that you know Christ
and that you allow Him
00:11:58.98\00:12:00.92
to direct your life
with a song in your heart,
00:12:00.95\00:12:04.09
a whistle on your lips
and a spring in your step.
00:12:04.12\00:12:07.46
Be sure and
send me your request.
00:12:07.49\00:12:09.26
I love hearing
from you and the stories
00:12:09.29\00:12:11.19
and a video of you
even singing a song,
00:12:11.23\00:12:13.23
I'd love to hear it and see it,
00:12:13.26\00:12:14.60
and you may be
right here with me.
00:12:14.63\00:12:16.53
Next time I hope you are.
00:12:16.56\00:12:17.90
I'll be here playing
your favorites by request.
00:12:17.93\00:12:20.77
Send me your song
00:12:31.45\00:12:33.11
Then you sing along with me
00:12:33.15\00:12:38.99
Your Favorites by Request
