Welcome back to Your
Favorites By Request.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.37
I enjoy singing by myself
00:00:03.40\00:00:05.10
because I alone know
what I'm gonna do next.
00:00:05.13\00:00:08.44
And sometimes I
even surprise myself.
00:00:08.47\00:00:10.57
But there's other
than singing about myself,
00:00:10.61\00:00:13.64
my second best favorite thing
to do is singing with somebody.
00:00:13.68\00:00:17.68
I have a great friend today.
00:00:17.71\00:00:19.55
Yvonne
Lewis-Shelton has joined me.
00:00:19.58\00:00:21.78
Yvonne,
wonderful to have you here.
00:00:21.82\00:00:23.35
Oh, it's so great to be
here. Thank you for inviting me.
00:00:23.39\00:00:25.85
My pleasure.
00:00:25.89\00:00:27.22
We get a lot of requests
for me to sing with people.
00:00:27.26\00:00:30.33
And so I thought you'd
be the perfect candidate...
00:00:30.36\00:00:33.29
Ah, and you didn't
get anybody else, right?
00:00:33.33\00:00:35.46
No.
00:00:35.50\00:00:37.20
My secret has been found out.
00:00:37.23\00:00:38.83
No, no, I'm honored.
00:00:38.87\00:00:40.77
You are...
00:00:40.80\00:00:42.14
Yvonne is the
most delightful person.
00:00:42.17\00:00:44.11
She's just genuine,
00:00:44.14\00:00:46.31
just she's always on
we say but it's not fake.
00:00:46.34\00:00:50.58
So we're just gonna
have a great time singing,
00:00:50.61\00:00:53.35
continue singing
along with us, all right?
00:00:53.38\00:00:55.28
And I'm just gonna
ask a random question.
00:00:55.32\00:00:56.92
Okay.
00:00:56.95\00:00:58.29
Do you know
anything about gardening?
00:00:58.32\00:01:00.72
Okay.
00:01:00.76\00:01:02.09
So up until about 10 years ago,
00:01:02.12\00:01:06.09
every plant I had would die.
00:01:06.13\00:01:08.20
I mean I just wasn't good.
00:01:08.23\00:01:09.93
But now I have some
plants and they're living,
00:01:09.96\00:01:13.23
and I talk to
them, and I water them,
00:01:13.27\00:01:16.00
and so do I know anything?
00:01:16.04\00:01:18.91
Not really, not scientifically,
but I love my little plants.
00:01:18.94\00:01:22.31
I love that.
00:01:22.34\00:01:23.68
So you know, I like
the idea of gardening
00:01:23.71\00:01:26.18
even when you have an apartment
00:01:26.21\00:01:28.62
and you can do
that terrace thing.
00:01:28.65\00:01:30.69
I think that's so cool. Yeah.
00:01:30.72\00:01:32.69
I like that, potting,
pots everywhere on my patio.
00:01:32.72\00:01:37.46
When I was a kid,
00:01:37.49\00:01:39.19
we live next door to
Mr. and Mrs. Rayleigh.
00:01:39.23\00:01:42.66
He had the most
beautiful garden,
00:01:42.70\00:01:45.27
and I would go over actually
and help him in his garden.
00:01:45.30\00:01:49.50
I wasn't helping him.
00:01:49.54\00:01:51.41
I was being a hindrance.
00:01:51.44\00:01:52.77
But he was a
gracious older gentleman
00:01:52.81\00:01:54.78
and then we had a little
gooseberry bush in our backyard
00:01:54.81\00:01:59.31
and you know
what a gooseberry is?
00:01:59.35\00:02:01.28
No.
00:02:01.32\00:02:02.65
They look like
little grapes kind of,
00:02:02.68\00:02:04.09
little smaller than that.
00:02:04.12\00:02:05.62
But anyhow, I don't know
why we're talking about this
00:02:05.65\00:02:07.82
other than the fact
that I'm trying to segue
00:02:07.86\00:02:10.73
into a song about the garden
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.96
which really is
really the wrong direction.
00:02:12.99\00:02:15.36
But there I go again.
00:02:15.40\00:02:17.23
I do want to say that
this is for a precious friend,
00:02:17.27\00:02:20.34
Cathleen, out in
Sunizona, Arizona
00:02:20.37\00:02:22.77
who requested this song.
00:02:22.80\00:02:24.74
I think we all know this.
00:02:24.77\00:02:26.17
I come to the garden alone
00:02:40.99\00:02:48.36
While the dew is
still on the roses
00:02:48.40\00:02:56.17
And the voice I hear
00:02:56.20\00:03:00.18
Falling on my ear
00:03:00.21\00:03:04.41
The Son of God
00:03:04.45\00:03:08.38
Discloses
00:03:08.42\00:03:13.39
And He walks with me
00:03:13.42\00:03:18.63
And He talks with me
00:03:18.66\00:03:23.03
And He tells me I am His own
00:03:23.06\00:03:30.84
And the joy we share
00:03:30.87\00:03:35.48
As we tarry there
00:03:35.51\00:03:40.42
None other has ever known
00:03:40.45\00:03:48.02
Now you sing.
00:03:48.06\00:03:49.42
And He walks with me
00:04:17.19\00:04:21.99
And He talks with me
00:04:22.02\00:04:25.89
And He tells me I am His own
00:04:25.93\00:04:33.67
And the joy we share
00:04:33.70\00:04:38.01
As we tarry there
00:04:38.04\00:04:43.08
None other has ever known
00:04:43.11\00:04:50.35
I'd stay in the garden with Him
00:04:54.26\00:04:59.69
'Tho the night
around me be falling
00:04:59.73\00:05:06.57
But He bids me go
00:05:06.60\00:05:09.97
Through the voice of woe
00:05:10.01\00:05:13.54
His voice to me
00:05:13.58\00:05:17.91
Is calling
00:05:17.95\00:05:23.28
And He walks with me
00:05:23.32\00:05:28.79
And He talks with me
00:05:28.82\00:05:33.70
And He tells me
00:05:33.73\00:05:36.56
I am His own
00:05:36.60\00:05:41.74
And the joy we share
00:05:41.77\00:05:46.17
As we tarry there
00:05:46.21\00:05:53.01
None other has ever known
00:05:53.05\00:06:00.99
Precious. Precious. Oh, it is.
00:06:10.27\00:06:12.53
That song is so special to me
00:06:12.57\00:06:14.17
because I sang it with
my grandmother and my dad,
00:06:14.20\00:06:17.31
and it's just really special.
00:06:17.34\00:06:19.74
That is precious.
00:06:19.77\00:06:22.14
There's a precious
scripture in Isaiah 53:4-6.
00:06:22.18\00:06:30.05
It says, "Surely He
has borne our griefs,
00:06:30.09\00:06:32.95
and carried our sorrows.
00:06:32.99\00:06:35.46
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
00:06:35.49\00:06:40.86
But He was wounded
for our transgressions,
00:06:40.90\00:06:43.33
that's why He was
bruised for our iniquities."
00:06:43.37\00:06:47.80
Upon Him was, "The
chastisement that made us whole,
00:06:47.84\00:06:51.34
and with His
stripes we are healed.
00:06:51.37\00:06:55.11
All we like
sheep have gone astray.
00:06:55.14\00:06:56.88
We have turned,
every one, to his own way.
00:06:56.91\00:06:59.45
And the Lord has laid on
Him the iniquity of us all."
00:06:59.48\00:07:04.95
There is a song I
got a request for,
00:07:04.99\00:07:08.46
a hymn that I am
not really familiar with
00:07:08.49\00:07:10.63
but I think that you might
know a little better than I.
00:07:10.66\00:07:13.80
And the text of this somber hymn
00:07:13.83\00:07:16.70
compels us to gaze at the cross
00:07:16.73\00:07:19.63
until the depth of
God's love overwhelms us.
00:07:19.67\00:07:24.37
This is such a pretty tune.
00:07:24.41\00:07:26.47
O sacred Head
00:07:40.29\00:07:43.96
Now wounded
00:07:43.99\00:07:48.46
With grief and shame
00:07:48.50\00:07:52.80
Weighed down
00:07:52.83\00:07:57.21
Now scornfully
00:07:57.24\00:08:01.78
Surrounded with thorns
00:08:01.81\00:08:08.82
Thine only crown
00:08:08.85\00:08:15.42
O sacred Head
00:08:15.46\00:08:20.10
What glory
00:08:20.13\00:08:24.67
What bliss till now
00:08:24.70\00:08:29.14
Was Thine!
00:08:29.17\00:08:32.74
Yet, though despised
00:08:32.77\00:08:37.25
And gory
00:08:37.28\00:08:43.28
I joy to call
00:08:43.32\00:08:47.82
Thee mine
00:08:47.86\00:08:52.19
Lo, here I fall
00:09:18.99\00:09:23.12
My Savior!
00:09:23.16\00:09:28.13
'Tis I deserve
00:09:28.16\00:09:32.57
Thy place
00:09:32.60\00:09:36.87
Look on me with
00:09:36.91\00:09:41.04
Thy favor
00:09:41.08\00:09:48.25
Vouchsafe to me
00:09:48.28\00:09:52.92
Thy grace
00:09:52.95\00:09:58.79
What language
00:09:58.83\00:10:01.83
Shall I borrow
00:10:01.86\00:10:06.94
To thank Thee
00:10:06.97\00:10:10.07
Dearest Friend
00:10:10.11\00:10:15.38
For in this
00:10:15.41\00:10:19.01
Thy dying sorrow
00:10:19.05\00:10:23.85
Thy pity without end?
00:10:23.89\00:10:31.59
O make me Thine forever!
00:10:31.63\00:10:39.60
And should I fainting be
00:10:39.63\00:10:47.34
Lord, let me never, never
00:10:47.38\00:10:55.25
Outlive my love
00:10:55.28\00:10:59.65
To Thee
00:10:59.69\00:11:05.96
Wow. That's rich. Wow.
00:11:05.99\00:11:08.36
It is sort of
beautiful melody too.
00:11:08.40\00:11:10.77
Yeah. Really,
it's kind of haunting.
00:11:10.80\00:11:12.67
It very paints the
picture, you see it.
00:11:12.70\00:11:16.00
Yes. That's wonderful.
00:11:16.04\00:11:18.37
Yes.
00:11:18.41\00:11:19.74
So that's the
great thing about music.
00:11:19.77\00:11:21.44
It can be used to
paint the picture.
00:11:21.48\00:11:22.81
I was just telling
you about the concert
00:11:22.84\00:11:24.31
that I went to
00:11:24.35\00:11:25.71
where they had done
some experimental music
00:11:25.75\00:11:28.05
and well, I wasn't sure
if they were really serious,
00:11:28.08\00:11:31.45
but they were very serious.
00:11:31.49\00:11:33.86
But it was just, but
it did paint a picture
00:11:33.89\00:11:37.49
and kind of a...
00:11:37.53\00:11:39.59
I was concerned,
00:11:39.63\00:11:40.96
maybe what
picture it was painting
00:11:41.00\00:11:42.33
but all that to say,
music has such a way to...
00:11:42.36\00:11:44.43
It can move us
and speak to us. Yes.
00:11:44.47\00:11:47.24
And that's the
thing... It creates emotions.
00:11:47.27\00:11:48.84
I mean it just
actually can move you to tears,
00:11:48.87\00:11:52.57
or it can make you laugh,
00:11:52.61\00:11:54.38
or I mean it actually
can change your emotions.
00:11:54.41\00:11:56.91
Yeah. It's amazing.
00:11:56.95\00:11:58.48
Yeah. What a gift.
00:11:58.51\00:11:59.98
And as are these
songs, these great hymns.
00:12:00.02\00:12:02.98
And this is a song that
I want to send out to Paula
00:12:03.02\00:12:06.32
who interestingly enough,
00:12:06.35\00:12:08.06
she says she sings
along on this program
00:12:08.09\00:12:11.99
while doing jigsaw puzzles.
00:12:12.03\00:12:13.36
Okay.
00:12:13.40\00:12:14.73
Now I've heard of like
walking and chewing gum
00:12:14.76\00:12:17.17
at the same time.
00:12:17.20\00:12:18.53
Which I can't even do,
00:12:18.57\00:12:19.90
but she can sing
and do jigsaw puzzles,
00:12:19.93\00:12:22.14
so that's pretty cool.
00:12:22.17\00:12:23.51
So if you can do
it, I don't know...
00:12:23.54\00:12:25.51
Maybe it relaxes
her. It might. It might.
00:12:25.54\00:12:27.84
Yeah. I don't... It could.
00:12:27.88\00:12:30.38
So anyway, I want to sing,
00:12:30.41\00:12:32.31
this is a great
Fanny Crosby song.
00:12:32.35\00:12:37.02
You know it well. Oh, yes.
00:12:37.05\00:12:39.19
Blessed assurance
00:12:43.79\00:12:48.16
Jesus is mine
00:12:48.20\00:12:52.47
Oh, what a foretaste
00:12:52.50\00:12:56.27
Of glory divine!
00:12:56.30\00:13:01.01
Heir of salvation
00:13:01.04\00:13:05.31
Purchase of God
00:13:05.35\00:13:09.65
Born of His Spirit
00:13:09.68\00:13:13.92
Washed in His blood
00:13:13.96\00:13:18.23
This is my story
00:13:18.26\00:13:22.70
This is my song
00:13:22.73\00:13:26.94
Praising my Savior
00:13:26.97\00:13:31.31
All the day long
00:13:31.34\00:13:35.54
This is my story
00:13:35.58\00:13:39.95
This is my song
00:13:39.98\00:13:44.29
Praising my Savior
00:13:44.32\00:13:48.62
All the day long
00:13:48.66\00:13:51.89
On the chorus, just song it now.
00:14:24.16\00:14:26.53
This is my story
00:14:26.56\00:14:30.97
This is my song
00:14:31.00\00:14:35.14
Praising my Savior
00:14:35.17\00:14:39.67
All the day long
00:14:39.71\00:14:43.95
This is my story
00:14:43.98\00:14:48.28
This is my song
00:14:48.32\00:14:52.55
Praising my Savior
00:14:52.59\00:14:57.09
All the day long
00:14:57.13\00:15:03.13
Perfect submission
00:15:03.16\00:15:07.50
All is at rest
00:15:07.54\00:15:11.74
I in my Savior
00:15:11.77\00:15:15.84
Am happy and blest
00:15:15.88\00:15:20.35
I'm watching and waiting
00:15:20.38\00:15:24.59
And I'm looking above
00:15:24.62\00:15:28.99
I'm lost in His goodness
00:15:29.02\00:15:33.43
Lost in His love
00:15:33.46\00:15:38.00
This is my story
00:15:38.03\00:15:42.94
This is my song
00:15:42.97\00:15:47.34
Praising my Savior
00:15:47.38\00:15:52.11
All the day long
00:15:52.15\00:15:56.79
This is my story
00:15:56.82\00:16:01.89
This is my song
00:16:01.92\00:16:06.39
I'm praising my Savior
00:16:06.43\00:16:11.73
All the day long
00:16:11.77\00:16:17.74
For Paul whose
grandmother turned 80 recently.
00:16:27.95\00:16:34.22
Her name is
Eulogia, beautiful name.
00:16:34.26\00:16:39.39
This is a great, a worship song.
00:16:39.43\00:16:42.06
It reminds us that Christ...
00:16:46.50\00:16:50.11
had us on in His mind
00:16:53.88\00:16:56.78
when He was on the cross.
00:16:56.81\00:16:58.41
Above all.
00:17:07.22\00:17:08.56
Above all powers
00:17:15.63\00:17:19.40
Above all kings
00:17:19.43\00:17:23.34
Above all nature
00:17:23.37\00:17:26.11
And all created things
00:17:26.14\00:17:30.88
Above all wisdom
00:17:30.91\00:17:33.55
And all the ways of man
00:17:33.58\00:17:39.75
You were here
before the world began
00:17:39.79\00:17:46.16
Above all kingdoms
00:17:46.19\00:17:49.96
Above all thrones
00:17:50.00\00:17:53.47
Above all wonders
00:17:53.50\00:17:56.17
The world has ever known
00:17:56.20\00:18:00.74
Above all wealth
00:18:00.78\00:18:03.38
And treasures of the earth
00:18:03.41\00:18:09.68
There's no way to
measure what you're worth
00:18:09.72\00:18:17.36
Crucified
00:18:17.39\00:18:21.86
Laid behind the stone
00:18:21.90\00:18:25.87
You lived to die
00:18:25.90\00:18:30.04
Rejected and alone
00:18:30.07\00:18:33.54
Like a rose
00:18:33.58\00:18:36.71
Trampled on the ground
00:18:36.75\00:18:41.75
You took the fall
00:18:41.78\00:18:46.32
And thought of me
00:18:46.35\00:18:51.06
Above all
00:18:51.09\00:18:54.96
Crucified.
00:19:19.25\00:19:21.76
Crucified
00:19:21.79\00:19:25.59
Laid behind the stone
00:19:25.63\00:19:29.60
You lived to die
00:19:29.63\00:19:33.20
Rejected and alone
00:19:33.23\00:19:36.27
Like a rose
00:19:36.30\00:19:39.41
Trampled on the ground
00:19:39.44\00:19:44.38
You took the fall
00:19:44.41\00:19:48.38
And thought of me
00:19:48.42\00:19:52.72
Above all
00:19:52.75\00:19:56.46
You took the fall
00:20:04.90\00:20:08.64
And thought of me
00:20:08.67\00:20:10.51
You know, we think
about what Jesus did for us
00:20:22.28\00:20:24.42
and it's just amazing.
00:20:24.45\00:20:27.16
Truly. It's amazing.
00:20:27.19\00:20:29.32
Beyond words.
00:20:29.36\00:20:30.76
Here's a fun song.
00:20:35.66\00:20:39.77
I want to play this.
00:20:39.80\00:20:41.14
I don't know.
00:20:41.17\00:20:42.50
Isn't that fun?
That's great. That's great.
00:21:13.03\00:21:15.94
Now well, now maybe you
can sing along on this song.
00:21:15.97\00:21:20.88
Come, Thou Fount
of every blessing
00:21:20.91\00:21:25.41
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
00:21:25.45\00:21:29.88
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
00:21:29.92\00:21:34.16
Call for songs of loudest praise
00:21:34.19\00:21:38.83
Teach me ever to adore Thee
00:21:38.86\00:21:43.33
May I still Thy goodness prove
00:21:43.37\00:21:48.50
While the hope of endless glory
00:21:48.54\00:21:53.27
Fills my heart with joy and love
00:21:53.31\00:21:58.98
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
00:22:32.31\00:22:36.62
Daily I'm constrained to be
00:22:36.65\00:22:41.22
Let thy goodness like a fetter
00:22:41.26\00:22:45.79
Bind me closer still to Thee
00:22:45.83\00:22:50.67
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
00:22:50.70\00:22:55.40
Prone to leave the God I love
00:22:55.44\00:23:00.58
Here's my heart,
oh, take and seal it
00:23:00.61\00:23:05.88
Seal it for Thy courts above
00:23:05.91\00:23:12.49
Yvonne, you
have been a pleasure.
00:23:19.66\00:23:21.43
Thank you very much. Oh.
00:23:21.46\00:23:22.86
We'll do this
again, right? Thank you.
00:23:22.90\00:23:24.23
I would love to.

whether you want to or not.
