Hi and welcome back.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
I have several
friends, as you know,
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
in the music industry,
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
and then I have
those that are mentors,
00:00:05.47\00:00:07.40
people that have given me
instruction, and direction,
00:00:07.44\00:00:10.17
and guidance in my music career,
00:00:10.21\00:00:12.67
but then I have those
who are even above that
00:00:12.71\00:00:15.04
and who are both
friend, mentor, and just,
00:00:15.08\00:00:18.78
if I could use the
word guru in my life
00:00:18.81\00:00:22.18
and that's in an awesome way
00:00:22.22\00:00:23.62
because this man that
I'm going to talk to today
00:00:23.65\00:00:26.52
has been a
great spiritual leader
00:00:26.55\00:00:28.46
and musical leader,
00:00:28.49\00:00:29.82
and I totally and
highly respect him.
00:00:29.86\00:00:32.63
His name is Mike
Speck and he's on the line.
00:00:32.66\00:00:34.93
Let's go to him right now.
00:00:34.96\00:00:36.56
Mike, are you there?
00:00:36.60\00:00:37.93
I'm here, buddy. How are you?
00:00:37.97\00:00:39.30
Hey, I'm doing great, Mike.
00:00:39.33\00:00:40.67
It's great to see your face.
00:00:40.70\00:00:42.04
Good to see you.
00:00:42.07\00:00:43.41
I love you,
bud. I love you, too.
00:00:43.44\00:00:45.61
You, again, played
such an important role,
00:00:45.64\00:00:49.54
I would travel with
you and Fay, your wife,
00:00:49.58\00:00:51.88
for one year
00:00:51.91\00:00:53.68
and that was a very
interesting year for me,
00:00:53.72\00:00:56.48
I was growing up and
I just learned so much
00:00:56.52\00:01:00.59
but even after I
left your ministry,
00:01:00.62\00:01:02.66
the Mike Speck Ministry,
00:01:02.69\00:01:04.13
I look back
00:01:04.16\00:01:06.29
and I think of all
the things that I learned
00:01:06.33\00:01:07.90
and the things that I wish
00:01:07.93\00:01:09.63
that I would have
stuck with you to...
00:01:09.66\00:01:11.97
That I have seen you
display in your career.
00:01:12.00\00:01:15.84
I want to be like you.
00:01:15.87\00:01:17.21
And so thank you for
setting a very high standard,
00:01:17.24\00:01:19.77
you set the bar high.
00:01:19.81\00:01:21.14
But enough about me,
tell me about what you do,
00:01:21.18\00:01:23.95
what you've been doing in
the past few years in music?
00:01:23.98\00:01:27.42
Well I've been blessed, brother.
00:01:27.45\00:01:29.12
I really had no plan
to be involved in music.
00:01:29.15\00:01:34.06
God called me to ministry
00:01:34.09\00:01:35.49
as a teenage boy up in Michigan,
00:01:35.52\00:01:38.39
and felt like I would
probably just end up pastoring
00:01:38.43\00:01:42.36
in that great state,
00:01:42.40\00:01:43.73
but the Lord had
different plans for my life.
00:01:43.77\00:01:45.97
And as a result of that,
we've lived in several cities
00:01:46.00\00:01:49.47
in different states now
00:01:49.50\00:01:50.84
as working in the music
ministry, in different churches
00:01:50.87\00:01:53.41
as worship
leader or music pastor,
00:01:53.44\00:01:56.64
there's so many different
names that are called now.
00:01:56.68\00:01:59.38
Back in the day when I started,
00:01:59.41\00:02:00.98
you were just
the music director.
00:02:01.02\00:02:02.55
Right.
00:02:02.58\00:02:03.92
But I'm thankful
for those opportunities
00:02:03.95\00:02:06.49
and, of course, how
that grew into creating
00:02:06.52\00:02:10.53
and arranging music for
choirs all across the country
00:02:10.56\00:02:14.03
and then it went
worldwide and the blessing
00:02:14.06\00:02:16.77
of being in so many different
denominations and churches,
00:02:16.80\00:02:21.14
and it's just all been the Lord.
00:02:21.17\00:02:23.41
I see His hand in all of that
and I give Him glory and praise
00:02:23.44\00:02:27.88
for every step of
the way He's led me.
00:02:27.91\00:02:30.95
And I've learned that
when God guides, He provides.
00:02:30.98\00:02:34.02
Right.
00:02:34.05\00:02:35.38
And I just continue to
keep my eyes on the King
00:02:35.42\00:02:39.05
and stay focused on
the prize and be faithful
00:02:39.09\00:02:43.06
and committed to His
cause and His call on my life,
00:02:43.09\00:02:47.73
and that's basically
been my life in a nutshell.
00:02:47.76\00:02:52.33
Awesome. Well, that's wonderful.
00:02:52.37\00:02:54.37
And it has truly been
a blessing to watch you,
00:02:54.40\00:02:56.94
and we are looking forward to
00:02:56.97\00:02:59.47
you being a part of
our ministry here at 3ABN,
00:02:59.51\00:03:03.65
we're going to have
you do a choral thing
00:03:03.68\00:03:06.51
in the fall I believe,
00:03:06.55\00:03:08.18
we're going to start recording
and I'm looking forward to it.
00:03:08.22\00:03:10.92
You have such a wonderful
way of combining the old,
00:03:10.95\00:03:14.06
the new songs from the church.
00:03:14.09\00:03:16.52
And so we're
going to be implementing
00:03:16.56\00:03:18.03
that coming fall.
00:03:18.06\00:03:19.39
But...
00:03:19.43\00:03:20.76
Yeah, I'm excited, buddy. Great.
00:03:20.80\00:03:22.13
I'm so excited
about that. Me too, man.
00:03:22.16\00:03:23.80
Well, before I let you
go, I want to hear a song,
00:03:23.83\00:03:27.44
maybe a favorite song of yours.
00:03:27.47\00:03:29.70
You know, when I
think about songs
00:03:29.74\00:03:31.87
that have meant something to me,
00:03:31.91\00:03:34.34
and I'll try not
to get too emotional,
00:03:34.38\00:03:37.08
but I think of the old
song, "Jesus Paid it All."
00:03:37.11\00:03:40.38
Yeah.
00:03:40.42\00:03:41.75
"All to Him I owe."
00:03:41.78\00:03:43.12
Sweet.
00:03:43.15\00:03:44.49
"Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow."
00:03:44.52\00:03:48.56
I'd like to sing that
one if that'd be okay.
00:03:48.59\00:03:51.26
I hear the Savior say
00:03:55.26\00:04:00.04
"Thy strength indeed is small
00:04:00.07\00:04:04.91
Child of
weakness, watch and pray
00:04:04.94\00:04:09.78
Find in Me thine all in all"
00:04:09.81\00:04:15.85
Jesus paid it all
00:04:15.88\00:04:21.09
All to him I owe
00:04:21.12\00:04:25.93
Sin had left a crimson stain
00:04:25.96\00:04:31.20
He washed it white as snow
00:04:31.23\00:04:39.07
For nothing good have I
00:04:39.11\00:04:43.95
Where-by Thy grace to claim
00:04:43.98\00:04:48.48
I'll wash my garments white
00:04:48.52\00:04:53.46
In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb
00:04:53.49\00:04:59.03
And when, before the throne
00:04:59.06\00:05:03.67
I stand in Him complete
00:05:03.70\00:05:08.27
I'll lay my trophies down
00:05:08.30\00:05:12.84
All down at Jesus' feet
00:05:12.87\00:05:18.61
Jesus paid it all
00:05:18.65\00:05:23.89
All to Him I owe
00:05:23.92\00:05:28.92
Sin had left a crimson stain
00:05:28.96\00:05:35.06
He washed it white as snow
00:05:35.10\00:05:39.93
Amen.
00:05:46.54\00:05:47.88
Wonderful.
00:05:47.91\00:05:49.24
Mike Speck, thank
you very, very much.
00:05:49.28\00:05:50.61
God bless you guys.
00:05:50.65\00:05:51.98
God bless you.
I'll talk to you soon.
00:05:52.01\00:05:53.35
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
00:05:53.38\00:05:54.72
I really enjoy talking
00:05:54.75\00:05:56.08
to my musical friends like that,
00:05:56.12\00:05:57.45
and if you'd be interested
in being on the program,
00:05:57.49\00:06:00.06
calling in, and talking
about what a favorite song,
00:06:00.09\00:06:03.43
what music means to you,
00:06:03.46\00:06:04.86
you can email me at
Tim.Parton@3ABN.org,
00:06:04.89\00:06:10.23
and also, don't forget
to send in your requests.
00:06:10.27\00:06:13.30
I always enjoy hearing
from you, hearing your stories.
00:06:13.34\00:06:16.40
And I want to play some...
00:06:16.44\00:06:19.21
Play a worship song right now
00:06:19.24\00:06:21.21
that is based
on Revelation 5:12.
00:06:21.24\00:06:24.88
It says, "Worthy is the Lamb
who was slain to receive power
00:06:24.91\00:06:28.58
and riches and
wisdom, and strength and honor
00:06:28.62\00:06:31.92
and glory and blessing!"
00:06:31.95\00:06:33.92
"Worthy is The Lamb."
00:06:33.96\00:06:35.29
Thank you for the cross, Lord
00:06:47.44\00:06:52.71
Thank you for the price You paid
00:06:52.74\00:06:57.78
Bearing all my sin and shame
00:06:57.81\00:07:01.68
In love You came
00:07:01.72\00:07:04.49
And gave amazing grace
00:07:04.52\00:07:09.32
Thank you for this love, Lord
00:07:09.36\00:07:14.66
Thank you for the
nail-pierced hands
00:07:14.70\00:07:20.17
Wash me in Your cleansing flow
00:07:20.20\00:07:23.81
Now all I know
00:07:23.84\00:07:26.68
Your forgiveness and embrace
00:07:26.71\00:07:33.01
Worthy is the Lamb
00:07:33.05\00:07:38.72
Seated on the throne
00:07:38.75\00:07:44.49
We crown You
now with many crowns
00:07:44.53\00:07:50.30
You reign victorious!
00:07:50.33\00:07:56.47
High and lifted up
00:07:56.50\00:08:02.21
Jesus, Son of God
00:08:02.24\00:08:07.98
The Treasure of Heaven crucified
00:08:08.02\00:08:15.56
Worthy is the Lamb
00:08:15.59\00:08:21.50
Worthy is the Lamb
00:08:21.53\00:08:28.84
Worthy is the Lamb
00:08:28.87\00:08:34.04
Seated on the throne
00:08:34.08\00:08:39.51
We crown You
now with many crowns
00:08:39.55\00:08:45.19
You reign victorious!
00:08:45.22\00:08:51.43
High and lifted up
00:08:51.46\00:08:56.73
Jesus, Son of God
00:08:56.77\00:09:02.00
The Treasure of Heaven crucified
00:09:02.04\00:09:06.57
Worthy is the Lamb
00:09:09.64\00:09:15.38
Worthy is the Lamb
00:09:26.90\00:09:30.50
Here's a great
request I received,
00:09:37.04\00:09:40.31
"Fill My Cup, Lord."
00:09:40.34\00:09:41.68
I love this old song.
00:09:41.71\00:09:43.04
Like the woman at the well
00:09:46.72\00:09:49.62
I was seeking for things
00:09:49.65\00:09:54.69
That could not satisfy
00:09:54.72\00:09:59.43
And then I heard
00:09:59.46\00:10:01.83
My Savior speaking
00:10:01.86\00:10:05.43
"Draw from the well
00:10:05.47\00:10:08.50
that never shall run dry"
00:10:08.54\00:10:14.41
Fill my cup, Lord
00:10:14.44\00:10:18.95
I lift it up, Lord
00:10:18.98\00:10:23.99
Come and quench
00:10:24.02\00:10:26.76
This thirsting of my soul
00:10:26.79\00:10:32.16
Bread of Heaven
00:10:32.19\00:10:35.43
Feed me till I want no more
00:10:35.46\00:10:40.87
Fill my cup
00:10:40.90\00:10:43.27
Fill it up and make me whole
00:10:43.30\00:10:49.54
There are millions in this world
00:10:49.58\00:10:53.48
Who are seeking
00:10:53.52\00:10:56.48
For pleasures
earthly goods afford
00:10:56.52\00:11:02.46
But none can match
the wondrous treasure
00:11:02.49\00:11:08.46
That I find in
Jesus Christ, my Lord
00:11:08.50\00:11:15.30
Oh, fill my cup, Lord
00:11:15.34\00:11:19.47
I lift it up, Lord
00:11:19.51\00:11:23.81
Come and quench
00:11:23.85\00:11:26.58
This thirsting of my soul
00:11:26.61\00:11:32.29
Bread of Heaven
00:11:32.32\00:11:35.32
Feed me till I want
00:11:35.36\00:11:39.06
No more
00:11:39.09\00:11:41.03
Fill my cup
00:11:41.06\00:11:43.43
Fill it up and make me whole
00:11:43.47\00:11:50.04
Sing this verse.
00:11:50.07\00:11:51.41
Oh, yeah.
00:12:16.87\00:12:18.20
Oh, fill my cup, Lord
00:12:18.23\00:12:23.07
I lift it up, Lord
00:12:23.10\00:12:27.64
Come and quench
00:12:27.68\00:12:30.71
This thirsting of my soul
00:12:30.75\00:12:36.62
Bread of Heaven
00:12:36.65\00:12:40.32
Feed me till I want no more
00:12:40.36\00:12:46.03
Fill my cup
00:12:46.06\00:12:48.36
Fill it up and make me whole
00:12:48.40\00:12:54.90
Lord, here's my cup
00:12:54.94\00:12:58.64
Fill it up and make me whole
00:12:58.67\00:13:06.55
Precious song.
00:13:17.03\00:13:18.63
The Bible says,
"Blessed are they
00:13:18.66\00:13:20.03
who hunger and
thirst after righteousness,
00:13:20.06\00:13:21.80
for they shall be filled."
00:13:21.83\00:13:23.63
I pray that this program
00:13:23.67\00:13:25.00
has been little
soul-filling for you
00:13:25.03\00:13:27.44
and I hope that you go
out with a song in your heart.
00:13:27.47\00:13:30.84
He keeps me singing every day,
00:13:30.87\00:13:32.81
I can't live without Him
00:13:32.84\00:13:34.21
and I can't live
without music, so.
00:13:34.24\00:13:36.78
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
00:13:36.81\00:13:40.62
Sweetest name I know
00:13:40.65\00:13:44.22
Fills my every longing
00:13:44.25\00:13:47.82
Keeps me singing as I go
00:13:47.86\00:13:50.86
Send me a song
00:13:59.10\00:14:00.60
And you sing along with me
00:14:00.64\00:14:04.37
