Hi and welcome back.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
This part of the program
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
is one of my
favorite parts of the program,
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.67
but it's probably a
little self-indulgent.
00:00:05.70\00:00:08.40
I love to talk to
people that are friends of mine
00:00:08.44\00:00:11.14
or mentors or fellow musicians,
00:00:11.17\00:00:14.31
and I hope that it's something
00:00:14.34\00:00:15.88
that maybe you can connect with
00:00:15.91\00:00:17.98
in terms of the way
the music has touched
00:00:18.01\00:00:21.28
these people's
lives, and they are people
00:00:21.32\00:00:24.15
who are in the
industry, music industry.
00:00:24.19\00:00:26.76
And so I have a friend today
00:00:26.79\00:00:29.49
that is more
than a musical friend,
00:00:29.52\00:00:31.96
although she is
well known for her music,
00:00:31.99\00:00:35.46
but she has become
just a sweetheart friend
00:00:35.50\00:00:39.07
that I can talk to
00:00:39.10\00:00:40.44
and that's the kind of person
that I love to get to know,
00:00:40.47\00:00:43.81
to share music with,
00:00:43.84\00:00:45.37
and then when we are
step away from music,
00:00:45.41\00:00:47.81
we can talk
about the rest of life.
00:00:47.84\00:00:50.01
So you know this dear
friend, her name is Yvonne Lewis
00:00:50.05\00:00:53.78
and I want to talk
to her right now, okay?
00:00:53.82\00:00:56.35
Let's do that.
Yvonne, are you there?
00:00:56.38\00:00:58.55
I am. Hey, Tim. Hey, Yvonne.
00:00:58.59\00:01:00.69
You're a
sweetheart. I love your smile.
00:01:00.72\00:01:03.06
You could just
stand there and smile
00:01:03.09\00:01:04.76
and you wouldn't
even have to sing,
00:01:04.79\00:01:06.36
but I love your singing too.
00:01:06.39\00:01:07.73
So it's like, you know,
you can smile and sing, so...
00:01:07.76\00:01:11.53
Well, praise the Lord.
00:01:11.57\00:01:12.90
It's so good to
be with you today.
00:01:12.93\00:01:14.27
Awesome.
00:01:14.30\00:01:15.64
Well, you have such an
amazing history in music
00:01:15.67\00:01:19.37
and yet you're so young, so...
00:01:19.41\00:01:22.81
You know what, Tim? I love you.
00:01:22.84\00:01:26.82
Well, so tell me a little bit
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.28
about where you
have gone in music?
00:01:28.32\00:01:31.19
Tell me about your music path?
00:01:31.22\00:01:33.49
Well, the Lord
allowed me to have some
00:01:33.52\00:01:36.89
really interesting
experiences in music.
00:01:36.93\00:01:39.16
I started in the late 70s
00:01:39.19\00:01:42.60
and I had an opportunity to sing
00:01:42.63\00:01:45.37
with some of the industry's
finest artists and producers,
00:01:45.40\00:01:50.14
and I did a lot of jingles
like Ruffles potato chips,
00:01:50.17\00:01:54.61
and diet coke, and
Burger King, and Pizza Hut,
00:01:54.64\00:01:59.28
just a lot of different things.
00:01:59.31\00:02:00.72
So it's a pretty varied...
00:02:00.75\00:02:03.69
It was a pretty varied life,
but, a career I should say,
00:02:03.72\00:02:08.46
but it was not...
00:02:08.49\00:02:10.53
It didn't meet
my soul's needs...
00:02:10.56\00:02:13.23
Yeah.
00:02:13.26\00:02:14.60
You know, it was
great, financially,
00:02:14.63\00:02:15.96
it was very lucrative,
I met some great people,
00:02:16.00\00:02:19.53
but it just wasn't
meeting my soul need.
00:02:19.57\00:02:23.20
Sure.
00:02:23.24\00:02:24.57
But I loved what I was doing it,
00:02:24.61\00:02:26.41
and as far as the
jingles were concerned,
00:02:26.44\00:02:29.48
especially because,
you know, you just go in,
00:02:29.51\00:02:31.98
you work, and you leave and so,
00:02:32.01\00:02:34.42
and then you get residuals
on what you did in an hour,
00:02:34.45\00:02:36.99
so, I mean, just kind of
like, "Okay, I like that."
00:02:37.02\00:02:39.42
That's great.
00:02:39.45\00:02:40.79
But again, you know,
00:02:40.82\00:02:42.16
I would not trade
working for the Lord
00:02:42.19\00:02:44.86
and singing for the Lord
00:02:44.89\00:02:46.63
and doing
programming for the Lord,
00:02:46.66\00:02:49.03
I wouldn't trade that with,
00:02:49.06\00:02:51.87
you know, my life
from before for anything.
00:02:51.90\00:02:54.50
You couldn't pay me. Sure. Sure.
00:02:54.54\00:02:56.30
Well, I know that
there are a lot of people
00:02:56.34\00:02:57.81
that I've talked
to that want to know
00:02:57.84\00:02:59.51
how to break into
the music business,
00:02:59.54\00:03:01.21
even as far as
singing gospel music.
00:03:01.24\00:03:03.98
And so it's just interesting
to me, you know, all the...
00:03:04.01\00:03:07.92
Of the people that I talk to
in this segment of the program,
00:03:07.95\00:03:12.22
they have been able to
make a living with music,
00:03:12.25\00:03:14.56
and I just kind of
think it's important
00:03:14.59\00:03:16.39
for people to see
that it can be God,
00:03:16.42\00:03:19.59
God gives us these things to...
00:03:19.63\00:03:22.63
And He knows what He is doing.
00:03:22.66\00:03:24.00
For me personally... Yes.
00:03:24.03\00:03:25.37
I know that music is all I know.
00:03:25.40\00:03:27.70
So I have to pay somebody
00:03:27.74\00:03:29.34
to mow the yard
and change the oil
00:03:29.37\00:03:30.91
and do all the things
that I don't know how to do.
00:03:30.94\00:03:34.11
But He is so good
to give us the things
00:03:34.14\00:03:36.44
that He knows we need,
00:03:36.48\00:03:37.81
the tools, the gifting that...
00:03:37.85\00:03:39.41
Yes.
00:03:39.45\00:03:40.78
And so for you, I have seen,
00:03:40.82\00:03:42.65
you know, you use it
00:03:42.68\00:03:44.02
and change the
audience's demeanor
00:03:44.05\00:03:47.16
whenever you step
on stage and you sing,
00:03:47.19\00:03:49.49
I have seen their
faces just brighten
00:03:49.52\00:03:53.60
because of your voice,
00:03:53.63\00:03:55.43
and I know that's the
Spirit of God through you
00:03:55.46\00:03:57.70
and I know you give
Him all the glory for that.
00:03:57.73\00:03:59.87
Yes. Praise the Lord.
00:03:59.90\00:04:01.24
And so now... Absolutely.
00:04:01.27\00:04:02.60
Now He has
opened the door for you
00:04:02.64\00:04:03.97
to be the general
manager of Dare to Dream.
00:04:04.01\00:04:06.37
Yes.
00:04:06.41\00:04:07.74
And you get to use that gift
00:04:07.78\00:04:09.34
that maybe something
you didn't know you had.
00:04:09.38\00:04:13.11
I don't want to put
words in your mouth, but...
00:04:13.15\00:04:16.69
So anyway, I just love the
fact that you're a great singer
00:04:16.72\00:04:20.46
and you're just
a wonderful person.
00:04:20.49\00:04:22.29
So thank you for that.
00:04:22.32\00:04:24.59
And do you happen to
have maybe a favorite song,
00:04:24.63\00:04:28.36
something we could sing together
00:04:28.40\00:04:29.73
'cause I would be honored.
00:04:29.76\00:04:31.10
Oh, I would be honored.
00:04:31.13\00:04:33.57
How about "Softly and
tenderly Jesus is calling?"
00:04:33.60\00:04:36.47
That's awesome.
I love that song.
00:04:36.50\00:04:38.14
"Softly and Tenderly."
00:04:38.17\00:04:39.77
Sweet.
00:04:39.81\00:04:41.14
Softly and tenderly
00:04:49.72\00:04:53.86
Jesus is calling
00:04:53.89\00:04:57.96
Calling for you
00:04:57.99\00:05:01.06
and for me
00:05:01.10\00:05:05.43
See, on the portals
00:05:05.47\00:05:08.77
He's waiting and watching
00:05:08.80\00:05:12.74
Watching for you
00:05:12.77\00:05:15.84
and for me
00:05:15.88\00:05:20.12
Come home,
00:05:20.15\00:05:24.29

00:05:24.32\00:05:28.96

00:05:32.29\00:05:37.43
Earnestly, tenderly,
00:05:37.47\00:05:41.50
Jesus is calling
00:05:41.54\00:05:45.87
Calling, "O sinner,
00:05:45.91\00:05:49.61
come home!"
00:05:49.64\00:05:55.12
O for the wonderful love
00:05:55.15\00:05:59.25
He has promised
00:05:59.29\00:06:02.36
Promised for you
00:06:02.39\00:06:05.09
and for me
00:06:05.13\00:06:09.56
Though we have sinned
00:06:09.60\00:06:12.17
He has mercy and pardon
00:06:12.20\00:06:17.17
Pardon for you
00:06:17.21\00:06:20.51
and for me
00:06:20.54\00:06:24.98
Come home,
00:06:25.01\00:06:28.85
come home
00:06:28.88\00:06:33.32
Ye who are weary
00:06:33.36\00:06:36.76
come home
00:06:36.79\00:06:42.26
Earnestly, tenderly,
00:06:42.30\00:06:46.63
Jesus is calling
00:06:46.67\00:06:51.14
Calling, "O sinner,
00:06:51.17\00:06:55.98
come home!"
00:06:56.01\00:06:59.01
Yvonne, I love
you, you know that.
00:07:07.49\00:07:09.19
I love you, Tim.

Thank you so very much

God bless you.
I'll talk to you soon.
00:07:13.19\00:07:14.83
Thank you for
having me. God bless you.
00:07:14.86\00:07:17.27
You're welcome. Thanks.
00:07:17.30\00:07:18.63
Bye- bye.
00:07:18.67\00:07:20.00
I love this song.
00:07:20.04\00:07:21.37
"Jesus is the
sweetest name I know."
00:07:21.40\00:07:23.30
There have been names
00:07:27.48\00:07:29.21
That I have loved to hear
00:07:29.24\00:07:33.92
But never has
there been A name so dear

I can search for all eternity
00:12:25.57\00:12:28.54
Yes, I can search
00:12:28.58\00:12:30.28
for all eternity Lord
00:12:30.31\00:12:36.15

00:12:36.18\00:12:41.72
There is none like You
00:12:41.76\00:12:46.93
Someone so dear
