Hi and welcome back.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
I love the fact
that God gives us
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.17
all different gifts.
00:00:04.20\00:00:06.03
And some of us
are instrumentalists,
00:00:06.07\00:00:08.00
some of us are singers,
00:00:08.04\00:00:09.37
some of us do
creative things in other ways,
00:00:09.40\00:00:11.87
like baking awesome apple pies.
00:00:11.91\00:00:13.98
But I have a
great special guest,
00:00:14.01\00:00:16.44
he's a friend of mine,
00:00:16.48\00:00:17.81
and his name is Jamie George.
00:00:17.85\00:00:19.51
And many of you know him.
00:00:19.55\00:00:20.88
And he is a wonderful violinist.
00:00:20.92\00:00:23.02
And he is out
in California today
00:00:23.05\00:00:25.05
and we caught up with him.
00:00:25.09\00:00:26.42
And so let's see if we
can talk to him awhile.
00:00:26.45\00:00:29.09
Hey, Jamie, are you there?
00:00:29.12\00:00:31.16
Yes, Tim, how are you?
00:00:31.19\00:00:32.53
I'm doing
awesome. You look great.
00:00:32.56\00:00:34.70
Thank you.
00:00:34.73\00:00:36.06
And that sun is just
falling right on to your face,
00:00:36.10\00:00:37.47
and I'm jealous.
00:00:37.50\00:00:38.90
But, hey, that's all
right. I'll get over it.
00:00:38.93\00:00:40.74
But thank you for
being on the program.
00:00:40.77\00:00:43.87
How long have you
been involved in music?
00:00:43.91\00:00:46.54
What's your story there?
00:00:46.57\00:00:48.54
Well, my mother says
that when she was pregnant
00:00:48.58\00:00:52.45
and she would play the piano
00:00:52.48\00:00:54.32
'cause she's a
pianist like you are,
00:00:54.35\00:00:56.38
that I would punch
and kick in her belly.
00:00:56.42\00:00:59.05
Oh, wow.
00:00:59.09\00:01:00.42
And so she figured that
I had some kind of rhythm.
00:01:00.46\00:01:01.89
And at the age of two,
00:01:01.92\00:01:03.26
she gave me a plastic saxophone,
00:01:03.29\00:01:04.69
and I started picking out
00:01:04.73\00:01:06.90
little church
tunes at that time.
00:01:06.93\00:01:09.30
And at the age of five,
00:01:09.33\00:01:10.67
she took me to my
first violin lesson.
00:01:10.70\00:01:12.10
And I've been
playing ever since,
00:01:12.13\00:01:13.74
so for over 40 years.
00:01:13.77\00:01:15.27
That is
wonderful. And you've been...
00:01:15.30\00:01:16.91
You travel and
you play in churches
00:01:16.94\00:01:19.44
and concert halls,
00:01:19.47\00:01:21.14
that's what you do, right?
00:01:21.18\00:01:22.51
That's your thing?
00:01:22.54\00:01:23.88
That's right. Great.
00:01:23.91\00:01:25.25
Every weekend, somewhere else.
00:01:25.28\00:01:26.61
Oh, wow. What a ministry!
00:01:26.65\00:01:28.08
I know, I have been a
road musician in the past,
00:01:28.12\00:01:30.92
and there is
nothing like the road,
00:01:30.95\00:01:32.69
there is nothing like
being able to travel around
00:01:32.72\00:01:35.39
and see the country.
00:01:35.42\00:01:36.99
But tell me what music
means more than just traveling,
00:01:37.03\00:01:40.66
I'm sure, 'cause I
know that gets old.
00:01:40.70\00:01:42.46
So there has to be
somewhat better reason
00:01:42.50\00:01:44.77
for what you do than just
to get to see the country.
00:01:44.80\00:01:48.87
Well, music for me, is
an opportunity to share,
00:01:48.90\00:01:51.77
not only the talent
that God has given me
00:01:51.81\00:01:54.08
but the story
that He has given me
00:01:54.11\00:01:56.24
to share with others.
00:01:56.28\00:01:57.81
And so I look at it as a
way to communicate with people,
00:01:57.85\00:02:01.98
a way to open doors,
00:02:02.02\00:02:03.82
and perhaps, share in a
way that is not as intrusive,
00:02:03.85\00:02:08.89
some people are not interested
in coming to church necessarily
00:02:08.92\00:02:11.93
but they'll come to a concert.
00:02:11.96\00:02:13.29
And all of
sudden, they are excited
00:02:13.33\00:02:15.23
about learning
about Jesus Christ.
00:02:15.26\00:02:17.20
Right.
00:02:17.23\00:02:18.57
And so music really, for
me, is a way to communicate
00:02:18.60\00:02:20.54
and share what God
has put in my heart.
00:02:20.57\00:02:22.94
Right. That's awesome.
00:02:22.97\00:02:24.31
I think that's kind
of like John the Baptist.
00:02:24.34\00:02:25.67
We prepare the
way for the message.
00:02:25.71\00:02:28.64
That's right. So
that's wonderful.
00:02:28.68\00:02:30.01
Great gift.
00:02:30.05\00:02:31.38
Thank you for sharing it
with the people that you share.
00:02:31.41\00:02:33.95
And speaking of sharing,
00:02:33.98\00:02:35.72
I think it would be kind of fun,
00:02:35.75\00:02:37.29
you wouldn't happen to
have your violin close by,
00:02:37.32\00:02:39.79
would you?
00:02:39.82\00:02:41.99
Here it is. Oh,
well, wonder of wonders.
00:02:42.02\00:02:45.73
Well, so what do you think
about playing a tune together
00:02:45.76\00:02:48.66
just for the entertainment
of the people here?
00:02:48.70\00:02:52.07
Well, it would be an honor
00:02:52.10\00:02:53.44
because I have
seen you play for years,
00:02:53.47\00:02:55.94
so many different stages
00:02:55.97\00:02:57.97
that I would
love that opportunity.
00:02:58.01\00:02:59.84
Cool. Well, what
do you want to play?
00:02:59.87\00:03:02.04
How about a happy
song that reminds us
00:03:02.08\00:03:04.65
of what Jesus
is preparing for us
00:03:04.68\00:03:06.88
when we all get to heaven?
00:03:06.92\00:03:08.58
Oh, we love that song here.
00:03:08.62\00:03:10.02
Okay, good.
00:03:10.05\00:03:11.39
Well, I think I'll
play in a neutral key
00:03:11.42\00:03:15.02
in the key of C,
is that good for you?
00:03:15.06\00:03:17.43
You got it. Okay.
00:03:17.46\00:03:18.99
Nice.
00:04:32.13\00:04:33.47
Great job.
00:04:33.50\00:04:34.84
Jamie, thank you so
much. I appreciate you.
00:04:34.87\00:04:37.54
And I look forward to
working with you sometime,
00:04:37.57\00:04:39.17
all right?
00:04:39.21\00:04:40.54
You got it. It'd be a privilege.
00:04:40.58\00:04:41.91
God bless you,
brother. Thank you.
00:04:41.94\00:04:43.55
You too.
00:04:43.58\00:04:45.41
I love that country
out there that Jamie's in.
00:04:45.45\00:04:47.85
And this song is
requested from Margareta
00:04:47.88\00:04:50.45
in Burlington, New
Jersey on the other coast.
00:04:50.49\00:04:53.39
And it's got
some descriptive words
00:04:53.42\00:04:55.96
talking about our
redeemer and nature,
00:04:55.99\00:04:58.39
and it's really lovely,
it's a contemporary tune.
00:04:58.43\00:05:00.96
I think you'll love this song.
00:05:01.00\00:05:02.33
If you know it, sing along.
00:05:02.36\00:05:03.70
Who taught the sun
where to stand in the morning?
00:05:09.50\00:05:15.74
And who told the ocean
you can only come this far?
00:05:15.78\00:05:23.52
And who showed the moon
where to hide 'til evening?
00:05:23.55\00:05:30.13
Whose words alone
can catch a falling star?
00:05:30.16\00:05:36.77
Well, I know my Redeemer lives
00:05:36.80\00:05:44.14
I know my Redeemer lives
00:05:44.17\00:05:51.35
All of creation testifies
00:05:51.38\00:05:55.52
This life within me cries
00:05:55.55\00:05:58.49
I know my Redeemer lives
00:05:58.52\00:06:04.43
O I know my Redeemer lives
00:06:34.79\00:06:42.46
I know my Redeemer lives
00:06:42.50\00:06:49.64
All of creation testifies
00:06:49.67\00:06:53.48
That this life within me cry
00:06:53.51\00:06:56.75
I know my Redeemer
00:06:56.78\00:07:02.65
He lives to take away my shame
00:07:02.68\00:07:09.26
And He lives
forever, I'll proclaim
00:07:09.29\00:07:16.33
That the payment for my sin
00:07:16.36\00:07:19.87
Was the precious life He gave
00:07:19.90\00:07:23.71
But now He's alive
and there's an empty grave
00:07:23.74\00:07:28.71
Now I know my Redeemer lives
00:07:33.78\00:07:39.25
I know my Redeemer lives
00:07:41.42\00:07:48.16
Let all creation testify
00:07:48.20\00:07:52.40
Let this life within me cry
00:07:52.43\00:07:55.87
I know my Redeemer lives
00:07:55.90\00:08:01.61
Yes, he lives.
00:08:14.59\00:08:18.19
Praise the Lord.
What a sweet, sweet song.
00:08:18.23\00:08:21.26
Good stuff.
00:08:21.30\00:08:22.70
I've received a
couple of requests
00:08:22.73\00:08:24.43
for this song.
00:08:24.47\00:08:27.04
It's a unique lyric.
00:08:27.07\00:08:29.37
It reminds us that
Christ sees our tears.
00:08:33.78\00:08:37.15
You said You'd come
00:08:42.68\00:08:46.09
And share all my sorrows
00:08:46.12\00:08:50.23
You said You'd be there
00:08:50.26\00:08:53.29
For all my tomorrows
00:08:53.33\00:08:57.40
I came so close
00:08:57.43\00:09:00.87
to sending You away
00:09:00.90\00:09:04.81
But just like You promised
00:09:04.84\00:09:08.41
You came there to stay
00:09:08.44\00:09:12.28
I just had to pray
00:09:12.31\00:09:19.22
And Jesus said come to the water
00:09:19.25\00:09:25.73
Stand by My side
00:09:25.76\00:09:29.50
I know you are thirsty
00:09:29.53\00:09:33.34
You won't be denied
00:09:33.37\00:09:39.07
I felt ev'ry tear drop
00:09:39.11\00:09:44.31
When in darkness you cried
00:09:44.35\00:09:49.98
And I strove to remind you
00:09:50.02\00:09:55.66
That for those tears I died
00:09:55.69\00:10:02.16
Your goodness so great
00:10:02.20\00:10:05.70
I can't understand
00:10:05.73\00:10:09.94
And dear, Lord, I know
00:10:09.97\00:10:12.94
That all this was planned
00:10:12.97\00:10:17.15
I know You're here now
00:10:17.18\00:10:20.48
And always will be
00:10:20.52\00:10:24.22
Your love loosed my chains
00:10:24.25\00:10:27.82
And in You I'm free
00:10:27.86\00:10:31.76
But Jesus why me
00:10:31.79\00:10:38.67
And Jesus said come to the water
00:10:38.70\00:10:45.07
Stand by My side
00:10:45.11\00:10:48.71
I know you are thirsty
00:10:48.74\00:10:52.58
You won't be denied
00:10:52.61\00:10:58.15
I felt ev'ry tear drop
00:10:58.19\00:11:03.89
When in darkness you cried
00:11:03.93\00:11:09.63
And I strove to remind you
00:11:09.66\00:11:15.47
That for those tears I died
00:11:15.50\00:11:19.91
Sing this verse.
00:11:23.18\00:11:24.78
And Jesus said come to the water
00:11:59.51\00:12:05.82
Stand by My side
00:12:05.85\00:12:09.49
I know you are thirsty
00:12:09.52\00:12:13.19
You won't be denied
00:12:13.23\00:12:19.07
I felt ev'ry tear drop
00:12:19.10\00:12:24.51
When in darkness you cried
00:12:24.54\00:12:30.18
And I strove to remind you
00:12:30.21\00:12:35.98
That for those tears I died
00:12:36.02\00:12:41.02
From Georgia comes another song,
00:12:54.07\00:12:57.21
from the state of Georgia,

and she wants to
hear In Time Like These.
00:13:01.34\00:13:03.21
Hope you are
singing along, Myra.
00:13:03.24\00:13:04.68
