Hi and welcome back to
Your Favorites By Request.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.83
It's a delight again
to have my dear friend
00:00:03.87\00:00:07.50
Yvonne Lewis-Shelton.
00:00:07.54\00:00:09.14
Thank you for your
smile, thank you for your laugh.
00:00:09.17\00:00:11.41
It's always great to
not only hear you laugh
00:00:11.44\00:00:13.64
but to hear you sing.
00:00:13.68\00:00:15.38
And so thanks for dropping by.
00:00:15.41\00:00:17.65
Thank you so
much for inviting me.
00:00:17.68\00:00:19.01
I love it. Yeah.
00:00:19.05\00:00:20.38
It's so much fun
to sing with you, Tim.
00:00:20.42\00:00:22.12
Thank you very much.
00:00:22.15\00:00:23.49
We have people
who we're singing with
00:00:23.52\00:00:24.85
around the world.
00:00:24.89\00:00:26.22
I know. Isn't that amazing?
00:00:26.25\00:00:27.59
It really is. I love it.
00:00:27.62\00:00:28.96
I love, I love, I love.
00:00:28.99\00:00:30.33
And not only around the
world, but in the heaven
00:00:30.36\00:00:32.99
because the angels are
singing Holy, Holy, Holy.
00:00:33.03\00:00:36.97
And this song, Holy,
Holy, Holy was written
00:00:37.00\00:00:39.87
around the end of the
1700s, beginning of the 1800s,
00:00:39.90\00:00:43.20
and to think that
here we are in the 2000s
00:00:43.24\00:00:47.04
and they're still singing
and they were singing long
00:00:47.08\00:00:48.94
before the 1700s.
00:00:48.98\00:00:50.31
Yes.
00:00:50.35\00:00:51.68
And they're going to be singing
forever, Holy, Holy, Holy.
00:00:51.71\00:00:53.28
Yes, yes.
00:00:53.31\00:00:54.78
So let's join in
with them, all right?
00:00:54.82\00:00:57.65
Great.
00:00:57.69\00:00:59.02
Holy, Holy, Holy!
00:01:09.40\00:01:15.40
Lord God Almighty!
00:01:15.44\00:01:21.41
Early in the morning
00:01:21.44\00:01:26.31
Our song shall rise to Thee
00:01:26.35\00:01:32.99
Holy, Holy, Holy!
00:01:33.02\00:01:38.49
Merciful and mighty!
00:01:38.53\00:01:44.13
God in three Persons
00:01:44.17\00:01:50.07
Blessed Trinity!
00:01:50.11\00:01:54.18
Holy, holy.
00:02:37.09\00:02:38.42
Holy, Holy, Holy!
00:02:38.45\00:02:42.56
Though the darkness hide.
00:02:42.59\00:02:44.53
Though the darkness hide Thee
00:02:44.56\00:02:49.86
Though the eye made blind by sin
00:02:49.90\00:02:54.70
Thy glory may not see
00:02:54.74\00:03:01.24
Only Thou art holy
00:03:01.28\00:03:06.72
There is none beside Thee
00:03:06.75\00:03:12.35
Perfect in pow'r
00:03:12.39\00:03:16.89
In love, and purity
00:03:16.93\00:03:21.73
Holy, Holy, Holy!
00:03:25.90\00:03:31.77
Lord God Almighty!
00:03:31.81\00:03:37.55
All Thy works
shall praise Thy Name
00:03:37.58\00:03:42.88
In earth, and sky, and sea
00:03:42.92\00:03:49.29
Holy, Holy, Holy!
00:03:49.32\00:03:55.00
Merciful and mighty!
00:03:55.03\00:04:01.00
God in three persons
00:04:01.04\00:04:07.68
Blessed Trinity!
00:04:07.71\00:04:12.81
Amen. Wow.
00:04:23.73\00:04:25.09
You know, to me, Tim,
00:04:25.13\00:04:26.46
there seems to be such
an anointing on that song.
00:04:26.49\00:04:29.40
Like for me, like
when I start singing,
00:04:29.43\00:04:31.20
I can't help but lift my hand
00:04:31.23\00:04:32.77
because we're
singing to a holy God...
00:04:32.80\00:04:35.24
Right. And you just can't...
00:04:35.27\00:04:37.51
You have to just worship,
00:04:37.54\00:04:38.87
you have to
just go into worship.
00:04:38.91\00:04:40.24
I just go into
worship mode, I can't help it.
00:04:40.28\00:04:41.61
I totally agree. It
just feels so anointed.
00:04:41.64\00:04:44.01
Right.
00:04:44.05\00:04:46.98
Precious. Amen.
00:04:47.02\00:04:48.88
He's holy. He truly is.
00:04:48.92\00:04:52.42
I received a
request from a friend
00:04:52.45\00:04:55.52
in Willemstad, Curacao.
00:04:55.56\00:05:00.40
C-U-R-A-C... Curacao?
00:05:00.43\00:05:02.03
That. See...
00:05:02.06\00:05:03.93
Curacao. Okay.
00:05:03.97\00:05:05.30
I think.
00:05:05.33\00:05:06.67
If I'm wrong, just, you
know, write in and let me know.
00:05:06.70\00:05:08.04
Well, if you're wrong,
it really sounds right.
00:05:08.07\00:05:09.40
But I think it's
Curacao. Nice. Okay.
00:05:09.44\00:05:11.54
Well, Brudeska is the name.
00:05:11.57\00:05:15.11
And so this song
is, O For A Closer Walk.
00:05:15.14\00:05:18.98
I am not as
familiar with this tune
00:05:19.01\00:05:20.68
but I think that you are.
00:05:20.72\00:05:22.05
In fact, I think you said
00:05:22.08\00:05:23.42
that there are
some alternate lyrics.
00:05:23.45\00:05:24.89
Yeah, there are.
When I heard you...
00:05:24.92\00:05:26.25
Over 1,000 tongues
to sing. Yeah, yeah.
00:05:26.29\00:05:28.76
And so this is O
For A Closer Walk.
00:05:28.79\00:05:30.99
So I'm going to be reading
this right out of the hymnal,
00:05:31.03\00:05:33.60
and thanks to my
director who is letting me
00:05:33.63\00:05:36.53
put all my music
on the piano here.
00:05:36.56\00:05:41.20
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:41.24\00:05:42.57
He doesn't like
the way it looks.
00:05:42.60\00:05:43.94
It looks great.
00:05:43.97\00:05:45.31
But I like the way it
sounds a lot better because...
00:05:45.34\00:05:47.21
Right, exactly.
00:05:47.24\00:05:48.81
So let's do this
one for Brudeska.
00:05:48.84\00:05:51.08
Sing it for me, Yvonne.
00:06:11.17\00:06:12.93
O for a closer walk with God
00:06:12.97\00:06:19.44
A calm and heavenly frame
00:06:19.47\00:06:25.51
A light to shine upon the road
00:06:25.55\00:06:32.49
That leads me to the Lamb!
00:06:32.52\00:06:39.49
Where is the blessedness
00:06:39.53\00:06:44.70
I knew when first
I sought the Lord?
00:06:44.73\00:06:50.81
Where is the
soul-refreshing view
00:06:53.17\00:07:00.08
Of Jesus and His Word?
00:07:00.12\00:07:06.55
Return, O holy Dove
00:07:30.01\00:07:35.22
return Sweet messenger of rest
00:07:35.25\00:07:41.36
I hate the sins
that made Thee mourn
00:07:43.96\00:07:51.83
And drove Thee from my breast
00:07:51.87\00:07:59.24
What a pretty
melody. O For A Closer Walk.
00:08:14.12\00:08:15.59
It is very pretty.
00:08:15.62\00:08:17.13
O For A Closer Walk,
00:08:17.16\00:08:18.49
something we all
should pray for a closer walk.
00:08:18.53\00:08:21.16
Yes, yes.
00:08:21.20\00:08:23.33
And in fact, this next song
00:08:23.37\00:08:25.70
is talking about
being close to God.
00:08:25.73\00:08:29.50
The Bible says,
00:08:29.54\00:08:30.87
"The nearness of
God is our good."
00:08:30.91\00:08:33.88
Jeremiah 29:11-13 says,
00:08:33.91\00:08:38.05
"For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
00:08:38.08\00:08:40.28
say the Lord,
thoughts of peace, not of evil,
00:08:40.32\00:08:43.52
to give you an expected end.
00:08:43.55\00:08:45.55
Then shall you call
upon Me, and you shall go
00:08:45.59\00:08:48.32
and pray unto Me, I
will hearken unto you.
00:08:48.36\00:08:51.26
And you shall
seek Me, and find Me,
00:08:51.29\00:08:54.06
when you shall search
for Me with all your heart."
00:08:54.10\00:08:56.26
Yes.
00:08:56.30\00:08:57.63
So as we pray for a closer walk,
00:08:57.67\00:09:00.94
I believe that's what that...
00:09:00.97\00:09:03.51
It says, "If you
shall seek Me and find Me
00:09:03.54\00:09:06.78
when it's with a whole
heart that you search Me."
00:09:06.81\00:09:09.08
Yes. That's right.
00:09:09.11\00:09:11.55
You spent some time on the road
a few years ago with Don Moen.
00:09:11.58\00:09:14.82
I did. It's
actually more than a few.
00:09:14.85\00:09:17.45
It was several years ago
with Don Moen and Ron Kenoly.
00:09:17.49\00:09:21.36
Nice.
00:09:21.39\00:09:22.72
And it was such fun
and there was a video,
00:09:22.76\00:09:24.99
and it was a lot of
fun, a lot of singers.
00:09:25.03\00:09:27.53
Great. Great singers.
00:09:27.56\00:09:29.36
I love that era
of worship music.
00:09:29.40\00:09:32.03
Yes.
00:09:32.07\00:09:33.40
It's kind of really spotlight...
00:09:33.44\00:09:34.90
made brought into...
00:09:34.94\00:09:37.61
made it known more I guess. Yes.
00:09:37.64\00:09:39.47
The worship.
00:09:39.51\00:09:40.84
It really brought into
focus the whole idea of praise
00:09:40.88\00:09:45.51
and worship and worshipping God,
00:09:45.55\00:09:48.18
not just
corporately but individually.
00:09:48.22\00:09:51.09
Instead of songs going this way,
00:09:51.12\00:09:54.06
you're going this way.
00:09:54.09\00:09:55.42
And it's so beautiful.
00:09:55.46\00:09:56.79
It is beautiful.
00:09:56.83\00:09:58.16
And this is a beautiful song
00:09:58.19\00:09:59.53
talking about
the presence of God
00:09:59.56\00:10:00.90
and knowing that if
He doesn't go with us,
00:10:00.93\00:10:02.43
we don't want to go, right?
00:10:02.46\00:10:04.37
That's right. So
we're following Him.
00:10:04.40\00:10:06.70
It says...
00:10:06.74\00:10:08.07
I just want to be where You are
00:10:08.10\00:10:13.38
Dwelling daily in Your presence
00:10:13.41\00:10:18.91
I don't want to
worship from afar
00:10:18.95\00:10:24.29
Draw me near to where You are
00:10:24.32\00:10:30.23
I just want to be where You are
00:10:30.26\00:10:35.50
In Your dwelling place forever
00:10:35.53\00:10:40.90
Take me to the
place where You are
00:10:40.94\00:10:46.21
'Cause I just
want to be with You
00:10:46.24\00:10:52.08
I want to be where You are
00:10:52.11\00:10:55.78
Dwelling in Your
presence feasting at Your table
00:10:55.82\00:11:02.69
Surrounded by Your glory
00:11:02.72\00:11:07.20
In Your presence
00:11:07.23\00:11:10.97
That's where I always want to be
00:11:11.00\00:11:16.67
I just want to be
00:11:16.71\00:11:20.28
I just want to be with You
00:11:20.31\00:11:24.55
Oh, my God.
00:11:24.58\00:11:26.01
Oh, my God,
00:11:26.05\00:11:29.32
You are my strength and my song
00:11:29.35\00:11:34.02
And when I'm in Your presence
00:11:34.06\00:11:37.96
Though I'm weak,
You're always strong
00:11:37.99\00:11:44.37
I just want to be where You are
00:11:44.40\00:11:50.41
Dwelling daily in Your presence
00:11:50.44\00:11:56.21
I don't want to
worship from afar
00:11:56.24\00:12:02.08
Draw me near to where You are
00:12:02.12\00:12:07.22
Let's just go right into this.
00:12:09.99\00:12:12.33
Draw me nearer
00:12:12.36\00:12:16.80
Nearer blessed Lord
00:12:16.83\00:12:19.90
To the cross
where Thou hast died
00:12:19.93\00:12:27.28
Draw me nearer
00:12:27.31\00:12:32.28
Nearer blessed Lord
00:12:32.31\00:12:37.42
To Thy precious
00:12:37.45\00:12:40.99
Bleeding side
00:12:41.02\00:12:47.10
I don't want to
worship from afar
00:12:47.13\00:12:50.23
Oh, no, no
00:12:50.27\00:12:52.37
Draw me near to where You are
00:12:52.40\00:12:57.94
Sweet. Oh, nice.
00:13:02.98\00:13:04.35
Precious. Praise the Lord.
00:13:04.38\00:13:06.61
For Marilyn in Georgia,
as a good friend of mine,
00:13:06.65\00:13:09.72
she emails me quite often,
00:13:09.75\00:13:11.32
and this is a
song that she sent in,
00:13:11.35\00:13:13.92
requesting Jesus, Use Me.
00:13:13.96\00:13:16.12
And I'm not sure
if you know this,
00:13:16.16\00:13:17.86
but I'm going to...
00:13:17.89\00:13:19.23
I don't, but I'll
listen and maybe I can join.
00:13:19.26\00:13:20.60
I'm glad this is a sing
along, so there's no pressure.
00:13:20.63\00:13:22.53
Yeah, there is no
pressure whatsoever.
00:13:22.56\00:13:25.07
So sing along.
00:13:25.10\00:13:26.43
Dear Lord I'll be Your witness
00:13:35.41\00:13:39.91
If You will help my weakness
00:13:39.95\00:13:44.19
I know that I'm not
worthy, Lord, of You
00:13:44.22\00:13:49.62
By eyes of faith I see Thee
00:13:52.86\00:13:57.63
On the cross of calv'ry
00:13:57.67\00:14:01.44
Dear Lord, I cry,
Let me Thy servant be
00:14:01.47\00:14:06.88
Jesus, use me
00:14:10.78\00:14:15.32
O Lord, don't refuse me
00:14:15.35\00:14:19.72
Surely there's a
work that I can do
00:14:19.75\00:14:24.79
And even though it's humble
00:14:28.26\00:14:32.70
Lord, help my will to crumble
00:14:32.73\00:14:37.77
Though the cost be great
00:14:37.81\00:14:40.71
I'll work for You.
00:14:40.74\00:14:46.18
He's the Lily of the valley
00:14:46.21\00:14:50.59
The Bright and Morning Star
00:14:50.62\00:14:54.66
He's the Fairest of ten thousand
00:14:54.69\00:14:58.49
To my soul
00:14:58.53\00:15:03.03
He's the
beautiful Rose of Sharon
00:15:03.06\00:15:07.44
He's all the world to me
00:15:07.47\00:15:11.81
But best of all
He is my coming King
00:15:11.84\00:15:17.65
So, Jesus, use me
00:15:20.92\00:15:25.72
O Lord, don't refuse me
00:15:25.75\00:15:30.23
Surely there's a
work that I can do
00:15:30.26\00:15:35.16
And even though it's humble
00:15:38.57\00:15:43.20
Lord, help my will to crumble
00:15:43.24\00:15:48.04
Though the cost be
great I'll work for You
00:15:48.08\00:15:53.21
Though the cost be
great I'll work for You
00:15:57.22\00:16:04.03
And that's a
willing spirit, right?
00:16:08.76\00:16:10.80
That's right. Willing heart.
00:16:10.83\00:16:12.17
That's right. I
just say, "Lord, use me."
00:16:12.20\00:16:13.94
And that... Yeah.
00:16:13.97\00:16:15.30
He is faithful to
open doors when we...
00:16:15.34\00:16:19.21
Danny says, "The
blessing is on the go." Right?
00:16:19.24\00:16:21.24
That's right. That's
right. Just you go...
00:16:21.28\00:16:23.95
Be willing to
go... Be willing to go.
00:16:23.98\00:16:25.31
And He will open the doors.
00:16:25.35\00:16:26.68
If we're
available, He'll use us.
00:16:26.72\00:16:28.25
Right.
00:16:28.28\00:16:29.62
Everybody has been
called to do something,
00:16:29.65\00:16:31.22
so we all are called to go.
00:16:31.25\00:16:33.36
Yeah, but just be careful
when you say that prayer,
00:16:33.39\00:16:35.59
"Jesus, use me."
00:16:35.62\00:16:37.23
That's right. And
make sure you go ahead...
00:16:37.26\00:16:38.59
Make sure you mean it.
00:16:38.63\00:16:39.96
You've got gas in the car
'cause you're going places.
00:16:40.00\00:16:41.86
Yvonne, you're a precious to me
00:16:44.53\00:16:46.43
and I just want to hear
you sing this song right here,
00:16:46.47\00:16:49.14
all right?
00:16:49.17\00:16:50.51
Okay. What is it? I'm
going to surprise you.
00:16:50.54\00:16:52.37
Oh, my Word.
00:16:52.41\00:16:53.74
When you hear the
intro, you'll know what it is.
00:16:53.78\00:16:55.28
Amazing grace!
00:17:13.06\00:17:17.40
How sweet the sound
00:17:17.43\00:17:22.54
That saved a wretch like me!
00:17:22.57\00:17:28.24
I once was lost
00:17:31.51\00:17:36.58
But now am found
00:17:36.62\00:17:41.42
Was blind, but now I see
00:17:41.46\00:17:48.96
Sing along at home.
00:17:49.00\00:17:52.40
'Twas grace that taught
00:17:52.43\00:17:55.30
My heart to fear
00:17:55.34\00:17:59.34
And grace my fears relieved
00:17:59.37\00:18:04.81
How precious
00:18:07.18\00:18:09.95
Did that grace appear
00:18:09.98\00:18:15.89
The hour I first believed!
00:18:15.92\00:18:22.16
Through many
dangers, toils and snares
00:18:25.17\00:18:33.07
I have already come
00:18:33.11\00:18:39.81
'Tis grace has brought me
00:18:42.45\00:18:47.69
Safe thus far
00:18:47.72\00:18:51.69
And grace will lead me home
00:18:51.73\00:18:58.03
When we've been there
00:19:01.10\00:19:05.37
Ten thousand years
00:19:05.41\00:19:09.51
Bright shining as the sun
00:19:09.54\00:19:15.05
We've no less days
00:19:18.25\00:19:23.06
To sing God's praise
00:19:23.09\00:19:27.73
Than when we first begun
00:19:27.76\00:19:33.74
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:19:43.71\00:19:45.31
Amazing grace.
Amazing, amazing grace.
00:19:45.35\00:19:47.82
And may you continue to
walk in that grace this week.
00:19:47.85\00:19:50.55
Yes.
