I have a dear friend
with me today, John Lomacang,
00:00:06.47\00:00:09.50
he is a wonderful
singer, wonderful pastor,
00:00:09.54\00:00:12.21
and a wonderful
friend, he really is,
00:00:12.24\00:00:14.28
because as long as
we've got music in common,
00:00:14.31\00:00:16.88
you're automatically
in with me, all right?
00:00:16.91\00:00:18.65
Praise the Lord.
00:00:18.68\00:00:20.02
So it didn't take much, did it?
00:00:20.05\00:00:21.38
Good to be here with you, Tim.
00:00:21.42\00:00:22.75
I am proud to have you here.
00:00:22.78\00:00:24.12
And, you know,
00:00:24.15\00:00:26.59
music to me is
such a consolation,
00:00:26.62\00:00:31.99
and it's a privilege
00:00:32.03\00:00:34.06
to be able to
sing about the Lord.
00:00:34.10\00:00:35.50
That's right.
00:00:35.53\00:00:36.87
And there's something else
that is a sweet consolation
00:00:36.90\00:00:39.13
that I kind of want to
sing about and that is prayer.
00:00:39.17\00:00:42.04
That's right.
00:00:42.07\00:00:43.41
And that's...
00:00:43.44\00:00:45.51
This is a great little song
00:00:45.54\00:00:47.94
that I think, you
know, what I'm thinking,
00:00:47.98\00:00:50.28
I'll just let you sing it, okay?
00:00:50.31\00:00:51.65
Okay.
00:00:51.68\00:00:53.01
How long has it been
00:01:05.86\00:01:10.93
Since you talked with the Lord
00:01:10.97\00:01:15.87
And told him your heart's
00:01:15.90\00:01:20.08
Hidden secrets
00:01:20.11\00:01:24.25
How long since you prayed
00:01:24.28\00:01:29.02
How long since you stayed
00:01:29.05\00:01:33.46
On your knees
00:01:33.49\00:01:36.02
Till the light shone through
00:01:36.06\00:01:42.66
How long has it been
00:01:42.70\00:01:47.57
Since your mind felt at ease
00:01:47.60\00:01:52.84
How long since your heart
00:01:52.87\00:01:57.08
Knew no burden
00:01:57.11\00:02:01.95
Can you call him your friend
00:02:01.98\00:02:06.59
How long has it been
00:02:06.62\00:02:11.26
Since you knew
00:02:11.29\00:02:13.80
That he cared
00:02:13.83\00:02:16.26
For you
00:02:16.30\00:02:21.87
How long has it been
00:02:21.90\00:02:25.97
Since you knelt by your bed
00:02:26.01\00:02:31.31
And prayed to the Lord
00:02:31.35\00:02:35.88
Up in heaven
00:02:35.92\00:02:39.65
How long since you knew
00:02:39.69\00:02:44.49
That he'd answer you
00:02:44.53\00:02:48.86
And would keep you
00:02:48.90\00:02:51.87
The long night through
00:02:51.90\00:02:58.01
How long has it been
00:02:58.04\00:03:03.11
Since you woke with the dawn
00:03:03.14\00:03:08.58
And felt that this day
00:03:08.62\00:03:13.09
Is worth living
00:03:13.12\00:03:18.29
Can you call him your friend
00:03:18.33\00:03:23.20
How long has it been
00:03:23.23\00:03:28.77
Since you knew
00:03:28.80\00:03:31.81
That he cared for you
00:03:31.84\00:03:37.41
And here's a
beautiful Ralph Carmichael song,
00:03:42.35\00:03:46.35
A Quiet Place.
00:03:46.39\00:03:48.16
I'll play and then
you can sing, all right?
00:03:48.19\00:03:50.03
There is a quiet place
00:04:24.93\00:04:31.33
Far from the rapid pace
00:04:31.37\00:04:37.17
Where God can soothe
00:04:37.21\00:04:41.94
My troubled
00:04:41.98\00:04:46.48
Mind
00:04:46.51\00:04:49.78
Sheltered by tree and flow'r
00:04:49.82\00:04:55.89
There in my quiet hour
00:04:55.92\00:05:00.96
With Him my cares
00:05:01.00\00:05:06.03
Are left
00:05:06.07\00:05:09.90
Behind
00:05:09.94\00:05:14.74
Whether a garden small
00:05:14.78\00:05:20.82
Or on a mountain tall
00:05:20.85\00:05:25.59
New strength and courage
00:05:25.62\00:05:31.63
There I find
00:05:31.66\00:05:38.53
Then from this quiet place
00:05:38.57\00:05:44.31
I go prepared to face
00:05:44.34\00:05:50.31
A new day with love
00:05:50.35\00:05:56.05
For all mankind
00:05:56.08\00:06:02.02
That is such a gorgeous song.
00:06:09.66\00:06:11.97
I love that. What
a picture it paint.
00:06:12.00\00:06:13.84
I mean, you talk about a lyric
going so well with the melody,
00:06:13.87\00:06:18.34
that's masterpiece.
00:06:18.37\00:06:20.38
You know, when I hear it,
I think of a guy standing,
00:06:20.41\00:06:22.54
I'm from New York.
00:06:22.58\00:06:23.91
Okay, I think of a
guy standing at the window
00:06:23.95\00:06:25.55
on a busy fall day
where he can just hear
00:06:25.58\00:06:29.85
the rumble of the
underground train,
00:06:29.88\00:06:31.65
the horns of the cabs,
00:06:31.69\00:06:33.66
the clicking of people's heels
00:06:33.69\00:06:35.02
as they're rushing off to work,
and he's saying to himself,
00:06:35.06\00:06:37.69
I really don't
want to go out there.
00:06:37.73\00:06:40.30
And he turns around
00:06:40.33\00:06:41.70
and there he
just sees his Bible.
00:06:41.73\00:06:44.37
And he slides over
to it and sits down,
00:06:44.40\00:06:47.47
and as he opens the Word,
00:06:47.50\00:06:49.40
it's like the
street sounds fade away...
00:06:49.44\00:06:51.17
Everything fades away.
00:06:51.21\00:06:52.54
In that quiet
place. That is beautiful.
00:06:52.57\00:06:53.91
And then after that he says,
00:06:53.94\00:06:55.34
now I can go prepare to face
00:06:55.38\00:06:57.38
a new day with
love for all mankind.
00:06:57.41\00:06:59.38
Yeah, you're exactly right.
00:06:59.41\00:07:01.18
Maybe I should
produce that video.
00:07:01.22\00:07:02.55
Maybe you should.
00:07:02.58\00:07:03.92
That is interesting
wherever you're from
00:07:03.95\00:07:05.29
that's kind of
the picture you would,
00:07:05.32\00:07:07.12
you know, you
would put yourself in
00:07:07.16\00:07:09.82
whatever scenario that you're...
00:07:09.86\00:07:11.83
The busy city of New York.
00:07:11.86\00:07:13.19
Yeah, you could do a busy city,
or you could even do a farm,
00:07:13.23\00:07:16.56
you know, where all the
animals are groaning, you know,
00:07:16.60\00:07:18.77
loud and you just want to
get somewhere away from it all.
00:07:18.80\00:07:22.64
You know, there
are times when I...
00:07:22.67\00:07:26.31
I think, I'm sure
in everybody's life,
00:07:26.34\00:07:28.24
where we do things we
wish we wouldn't have done,
00:07:28.28\00:07:30.35
said things we wish
we wouldn't have said.
00:07:30.38\00:07:32.98
And again there's an opportunity
00:07:33.01\00:07:35.32
that we have to get away
00:07:35.35\00:07:38.19
and say "God, forgive me."
00:07:38.22\00:07:43.73
And regroup and start over.
00:07:43.76\00:07:46.86
He loves to
allow us the privilege
00:07:46.90\00:07:48.23
of pushing the reset button.
00:07:48.26\00:07:50.30
And this song talks about that,
00:07:50.33\00:07:51.83
it's an old Albert
Brumley song, he says...
00:07:51.87\00:07:54.70
Ev'ry time I do a deed
00:07:54.74\00:07:58.17
I shouldn't do
00:07:58.21\00:08:01.91
Every time I say a word
00:08:01.94\00:08:05.61
I shouldn't say
00:08:05.65\00:08:09.65
Let me tell you what I do
00:08:09.68\00:08:14.16
And it brings a blessing too
00:08:14.19\00:08:18.46
I just steal away somewhere
00:08:18.49\00:08:23.47
And pray
00:08:23.50\00:08:28.07
I just steal away
00:08:28.10\00:08:33.91
I just steal away
00:08:33.94\00:08:39.11
And I ask the blessed Lord
00:08:39.15\00:08:44.29
To lead the way
00:08:44.32\00:08:49.56
I just steal away
00:08:49.59\00:08:54.86
I just steal away
00:08:54.90\00:09:00.64
I just steal away somewhere
00:09:00.67\00:09:06.37
And pray
00:09:06.41\00:09:12.71
Christ, the Savior, always hears
00:09:12.75\00:09:16.65
And answers prayer
00:09:16.69\00:09:20.46
And He gives me
00:09:20.49\00:09:22.72
Many blessings ev'ry day
00:09:22.76\00:09:28.40
So when I have tried and failed
00:09:28.43\00:09:33.40
I've failed to pass the test
00:09:33.44\00:09:37.41
I just steal away somewhere
00:09:37.44\00:09:42.61
And pray
00:09:42.64\00:09:48.28
I just steal away
00:09:48.32\00:09:55.02
I just steal away
00:09:55.06\00:10:01.26
And I ask my blessed Lord
00:10:01.30\00:10:06.80
To lead the way
00:10:06.84\00:10:12.77
I just steal away
00:10:12.81\00:10:19.31
I just steal away
00:10:19.35\00:10:25.92
I just steal away
00:10:25.95\00:10:30.33
Somewhere
00:10:30.36\00:10:32.86
And pray
00:10:32.89\00:10:39.20
It's good.
00:10:42.47\00:10:43.87
That's a new one to me
too, but the message is perfect.
00:10:43.91\00:10:47.44
Because sometimes
you got to get away,
00:10:47.48\00:10:49.34
I've seen
people in the workplace
00:10:49.38\00:10:52.21
because I was, as I
said, raised in New York City,
00:10:52.25\00:10:54.78
but I lived in, you
know, California too,
00:10:54.82\00:10:57.02
seems like most of the places
I lived were hustle and bustle.
00:10:57.05\00:10:59.75
And even though we live here
in this little Thompsonville,
00:10:59.79\00:11:02.86
West Frankfort
like at the border,
00:11:02.89\00:11:04.63
there is still
hustle and bustle.
00:11:04.66\00:11:06.26
You think, wow, the trees,
little cattle here and there,
00:11:06.29\00:11:09.83
a lot of green
grass and just broad land,
00:11:09.86\00:11:13.54
but sometimes you
just have to steal away.
00:11:13.57\00:11:15.04
Absolutely.
00:11:15.07\00:11:16.40
You've to shut the
world down because you know
00:11:16.44\00:11:17.77
we live in a constant,
00:11:17.81\00:11:19.54
it's like a blender
or sometimes a vortex.
00:11:19.57\00:11:22.44
It's like I could see
that little raspberry,
00:11:22.48\00:11:24.95
my wife bought
one of those blenders
00:11:24.98\00:11:26.72
where she makes me
these nice smoothies now
00:11:26.75\00:11:28.58
and I really appreciate it.
00:11:28.62\00:11:30.39
And getting a lot more natural,
00:11:30.42\00:11:32.72
but I could see
that little berry
00:11:32.75\00:11:34.09
just falling in
there before you know
00:11:34.12\00:11:35.46
it's mixed up with everything,
00:11:35.49\00:11:36.83
you can't tell
where the berry begins
00:11:36.86\00:11:38.19
and where it ends.
00:11:38.23\00:11:39.56
That's how life is sometimes.
00:11:39.59\00:11:40.93
Yeah, you're exactly right.
00:11:40.96\00:11:42.30
You can't tell
where your day begins
00:11:42.33\00:11:43.67
and somebody else's day
and I need this right away,
00:11:43.70\00:11:45.27
and I get a text
and I get a phone call,
00:11:45.30\00:11:46.87
I got an email and
it's all merging together.
00:11:46.90\00:11:48.57
Right.
00:11:48.60\00:11:49.94
And sometimes you have to
say, what happened to Tim?
00:11:49.97\00:11:52.47
He just had to
steal away and pray.
00:11:52.51\00:11:53.94
Right.
00:11:53.98\00:11:55.31
And then God puts it all...
00:11:55.34\00:11:56.68
God puts it all
back into perspective.
00:11:56.71\00:11:58.05
And it's vital that we do that.
00:11:58.08\00:11:59.45
I mean, we must realize
the importance of doing that.
00:11:59.48\00:12:01.98
That's right.
00:12:02.02\00:12:03.35
One of these days,
00:12:03.39\00:12:04.72
it won't be
necessary for us to do that.
00:12:04.75\00:12:06.09
That's true.
00:12:06.12\00:12:09.62
Struggle and
strive will be through,
00:12:09.66\00:12:11.29
and busyness will be through,
and will have real purpose,
00:12:11.33\00:12:15.76
but until then we're
just going to keep on
00:12:15.80\00:12:19.33
finding opportunities
to steal away and pray.
00:12:19.37\00:12:22.47
There's a song
called Until Then,
00:12:22.50\00:12:24.11
we might as well
sing it, all right?
00:12:24.14\00:12:25.47
Let's sing.
00:12:25.51\00:12:26.84
My heart can sing
00:12:41.36\00:12:45.03
When I pause to remember
00:12:45.06\00:12:50.90
A heartache here
00:12:50.93\00:12:54.20
Is but a stepping stone
00:12:54.24\00:12:59.91
Along a trail that's winding
00:12:59.94\00:13:05.35
Always upward
00:13:05.38\00:13:09.15
This troubled world
00:13:09.18\00:13:12.95
Is not my final home
00:13:12.99\00:13:19.59
But until then my heart
00:13:19.63\00:13:25.00
Will go on singing
00:13:25.03\00:13:30.24
Until then with joy
00:13:30.27\00:13:35.11
I'll carry on
00:13:35.14\00:13:39.61
Until the day my eyes
00:13:39.65\00:13:45.35
Behold the city
00:13:45.39\00:13:49.72
Until the day
00:13:49.76\00:13:53.90
God calls me home
00:13:53.93\00:13:59.37
I'm gonna let the
people at home sing that.
00:13:59.40\00:14:01.14
Now sing along.
00:14:31.83\00:14:33.17
But until then my heart
00:14:33.20\00:14:38.64
Will go on singing
00:14:38.67\00:14:44.15
Until then with joy
00:14:44.18\00:14:48.95
I'll carry on
00:14:48.98\00:14:53.49
Until the day my eyes
00:14:53.52\00:14:58.86
Behold King Jesus
00:14:58.89\00:15:03.23
Until the day
00:15:03.26\00:15:05.83
Until the day
00:15:05.87\00:15:07.24
God calls me home
00:15:07.27\00:15:14.21
And one more verse.
00:15:14.24\00:15:15.58
This weary world
00:15:15.61\00:15:17.98
With all its toil and struggle
00:15:18.01\00:15:22.55
May take its toll
00:15:22.58\00:15:25.12
Of misery and strife
00:15:25.15\00:15:29.89
The soul of man
00:15:29.92\00:15:32.63
Is like a waiting falcon
00:15:32.66\00:15:37.03
When it's released
00:15:37.07\00:15:39.50
It's destined for the skies
00:15:39.53\00:15:45.74
But until then my heart
00:15:45.77\00:15:50.88
Will go on singing
00:15:50.91\00:15:53.55
We gonna keep on singing
00:15:53.58\00:15:56.12
Until then with joy
00:15:56.15\00:16:01.02
I'll carry on
00:16:01.06\00:16:05.49
Until the day my eyes
00:16:05.53\00:16:11.33
Behold the city
00:16:11.37\00:16:16.17
Until the day
00:16:16.20\00:16:19.97
God calls me
00:16:20.01\00:16:24.45
Home
00:16:24.48\00:16:26.98
Calls me home
00:16:27.02\00:16:32.22
Amen. Amen.
00:16:32.25\00:16:34.09
You know that day is
coming, that day is coming,
00:16:34.12\00:16:36.83
that's the beautiful
thing about this song,
00:16:36.86\00:16:38.39
that day is
coming and it's until
00:16:38.43\00:16:40.76
and you look at all
the challenges of life,
00:16:40.80\00:16:42.26
until, and so that
until is not prerequisite.
00:16:42.30\00:16:46.30
Is that the right word?
00:16:46.33\00:16:47.67
That until is not a
word to sidetracked us,
00:16:47.70\00:16:50.91
but that until is a
word to keep our hope going.
00:16:50.94\00:16:53.01
Right, absolutely.
00:16:53.04\00:16:54.38
Like that wax candle.
00:16:54.41\00:16:55.74
Preparation word, anxiety word,
00:16:55.78\00:16:57.11
it's indicating that
there's something coming up.
00:16:57.15\00:16:59.15
That's right.
00:16:59.18\00:17:00.52
My good friend who's
now resting in Jesus,
00:17:00.55\00:17:02.18
Pastor CD Brooks said,
00:17:02.22\00:17:03.69
"Our message is an
evacuation message."
00:17:03.72\00:17:05.79
Right.
00:17:05.82\00:17:07.16
And this is an evacuation
song, keep on going until.
00:17:07.19\00:17:09.76
Praise God with that too.
00:17:09.79\00:17:11.13
Exactly. Right, yeah.
00:17:11.16\00:17:12.86
I think we have
time for another song
00:17:12.89\00:17:14.86
and so let's do this.
00:17:14.90\00:17:16.46
I think this is
old Thomas Dorsey tune,
00:17:16.50\00:17:19.33
Precious Lord Take My Hand,
00:17:19.37\00:17:21.20
and talking about leading
us on until that day, so.
00:17:21.24\00:17:26.78
Precious Lord, take my hand
00:17:43.53\00:17:47.70
Lead me on, let me stand
00:17:47.73\00:17:52.27
I am tired, I am weak
00:17:52.30\00:17:56.40
I am worn
00:17:56.44\00:18:00.94
Through the storm
00:18:00.98\00:18:03.35
Through the night
00:18:03.38\00:18:05.71
Lead me on to the light
00:18:05.75\00:18:09.98
Take my hand, precious Lord
00:18:10.02\00:18:14.66
Lead me home
00:18:14.69\00:18:17.16
Tim, hit it.
00:18:17.19\00:18:19.56
When my way grows drear
00:18:19.59\00:18:23.87
Precious Lord linger near
00:18:23.90\00:18:28.27
When my light
00:18:28.30\00:18:30.91
Is almost gone
00:18:30.94\00:18:37.15
Hold my hand lest I fall
00:18:37.18\00:18:41.58
Precious Lord, hear my call
00:18:41.62\00:18:46.25
Take my hand, precious Lord
00:18:46.29\00:18:50.79
Lead me home
00:18:50.83\00:18:55.86
When the darkness appears
00:18:55.90\00:19:00.57
And the night draws near
00:19:00.60\00:19:04.97
And the day
00:19:05.01\00:19:07.68
Is past and gone
00:19:07.71\00:19:14.05
At the river I stand
00:19:14.08\00:19:18.69
Guide my feet, hold my hand
00:19:18.72\00:19:23.32
Take my hand, precious Lord
00:19:23.36\00:19:28.00
Lead me home
00:19:28.03\00:19:32.43
Just take my hand
00:19:32.47\00:19:35.20
Precious Lord and lead me home
00:19:35.24\00:19:41.01
