Here's a great
song. Sing along with me.
00:00:20.98\00:00:26.22
My Father is omnipotent
00:00:26.25\00:00:30.13
And that you can't deny
00:00:30.16\00:00:34.23
A God of might and miracles
00:00:34.26\00:00:38.63
'Tis written in the sky
00:00:38.67\00:00:43.64
It took a miracle
00:00:43.67\00:00:49.08
To put the stars in place
00:00:49.11\00:00:53.15
It took a miracle
00:00:53.18\00:00:57.62
To hang the world in space
00:00:57.65\00:01:02.22
But when He saved my soul
00:01:02.26\00:01:06.93
Cleansed and made me whole
00:01:06.96\00:01:12.27
It took a miracle
00:01:12.30\00:01:15.80
Of love and grace!
00:01:15.84\00:01:19.77
Though here His glory
00:01:24.41\00:01:26.72
Has been shown
00:01:26.75\00:01:28.72
We still can't fully see
00:01:28.75\00:01:33.56
The wonders of
His might, His throne
00:01:33.59\00:01:38.83
Will take eternity
00:01:38.86\00:01:43.77
It took a miracle
00:01:43.80\00:01:49.74
To put the stars in space
00:01:49.77\00:01:54.34
It took a miracle
00:01:54.38\00:01:58.28
To hang the world in space
00:01:58.31\00:02:03.05
But when He saved my soul
00:02:03.08\00:02:08.12
Cleansed and made me whole
00:02:08.16\00:02:13.26
It took a miracle
00:02:13.29\00:02:16.63
Of love and grace!
00:02:16.67\00:02:20.44
The Bible tells us of His power
00:02:24.91\00:02:29.71
And wisdom all way through
00:02:29.74\00:02:34.42
And every little bird and flower
00:02:34.45\00:02:38.99
Are testimonies too
00:02:39.02\00:02:44.89
It took a miracle
00:02:44.93\00:02:50.77
To put the stars in place
00:02:50.80\00:02:55.97
It took a miracle
00:02:56.00\00:03:00.61
To hang the world in space
00:03:00.64\00:03:05.88
But when He saved my soul
00:03:05.91\00:03:11.42
He cleansed and made me whole
00:03:11.45\00:03:18.39
It took a miracle
00:03:18.43\00:03:22.93
Of love
00:03:22.96\00:03:25.77
And grace!
00:03:25.80\00:03:30.01
Amen.
00:03:40.22\00:03:41.55
What a great song to
start off this program
00:03:41.58\00:03:44.95
and any day really.
00:03:44.99\00:03:46.72
But that's a great song.
00:03:46.76\00:03:48.86
It took a miracle.
00:03:48.89\00:03:50.23
That was for Robert,
in Westminster, Maryland.
00:03:50.26\00:03:53.66
Robert, thank you
for requesting that song,
00:03:53.70\00:03:56.20
that made my own day.
00:03:56.23\00:03:58.20
Thanks. God is
still working miracles.
00:03:58.23\00:04:01.30
So keep praying for
those lost family and friends.
00:04:01.34\00:04:04.94
I've mentioned
before how I love stories.
00:04:04.97\00:04:07.31
And here's one
00:04:07.34\00:04:08.74
from the one year book of hymns.
00:04:08.78\00:04:12.68
I love this little book.
00:04:12.71\00:04:14.65
It's got every day, it
gives a story behind a hymn.
00:04:14.68\00:04:19.02
And I just
wanted to read this one
00:04:19.05\00:04:20.66
before we sing this next song.
00:04:20.69\00:04:23.99
The song we're going to sing,
it was written by Kate Hankey.
00:04:24.03\00:04:29.06
She was the daughter of a
prosperous British banker.
00:04:29.10\00:04:32.17
She grew up in a
stylish London suburb.
00:04:32.20\00:04:35.50
She started a Bible class
for girls in her neighborhood
00:04:35.54\00:04:38.47
and then when she was only 18,
00:04:38.51\00:04:40.88
Hanky went to London
00:04:40.91\00:04:42.31
to teach a Bible
class of factory girls.
00:04:42.34\00:04:45.15
In her 20s she started
00:04:45.18\00:04:46.75
other Bible
classes for factory girls,
00:04:46.78\00:04:49.28
so she started at
a young age teaching.
00:04:49.32\00:04:52.15
When she was in her early 30s,
00:04:52.19\00:04:54.22
Kate Hankey
became seriously ill.
00:04:54.26\00:04:57.03
Doctor said she
needed a year of bed rest.
00:04:57.06\00:04:59.69
She was forbidden
00:04:59.73\00:05:01.06
to teach her Bible
classes for 12 months.
00:05:01.10\00:05:03.77
During her long slow recovery,
00:05:03.80\00:05:06.03
she wrote two
very lengthy poems.
00:05:06.07\00:05:09.97
After 10 months,
00:05:10.01\00:05:11.67
she felt strong
enough to leave her bed.
00:05:11.71\00:05:14.54
Soon, she returned to
her Bible classes in London
00:05:14.58\00:05:17.98
and continued
teaching for many years.
00:05:18.01\00:05:20.85
This is my favorite part.
00:05:20.88\00:05:22.58
When she became too old
00:05:22.62\00:05:25.32
to teach the
factory girls regularly,
00:05:25.35\00:05:28.32
she started a
prison ministry in London.
00:05:28.36\00:05:32.09
Even then, she
continued to tell the story
00:05:32.13\00:05:35.23
of Jesus and His love.
00:05:35.26\00:05:37.53
So, friend, you
are never too old
00:05:37.57\00:05:40.00
to tell of Jesus and His love.
00:05:40.04\00:05:42.84
That's why I love this song.
00:05:42.87\00:05:45.14
I love to tell the story
00:05:52.11\00:05:56.62
Of unseen things above
00:05:56.65\00:06:00.76
Of Jesus and His glory
00:06:00.79\00:06:05.03
Of Jesus and His love
00:06:05.06\00:06:09.26
I love to tell the story
00:06:09.30\00:06:13.34
Because I know 'tis true
00:06:13.37\00:06:17.41
It satisfies my longings
00:06:17.44\00:06:21.68
As nothing else will do
00:06:21.71\00:06:26.08
I love to tell the story
00:06:26.11\00:06:30.89
'Twill be my theme in glory
00:06:30.92\00:06:35.46
To tell the old, old story
00:06:35.49\00:06:40.20
Of Jesus and His love
00:06:40.23\00:06:44.37
Sing the second verse.
00:06:44.40\00:06:45.73
I love to tell...
00:07:19.53\00:07:21.07
I love to tell the story
00:07:21.10\00:07:25.47
'Twill be my theme in glory
00:07:25.51\00:07:30.05
To tell the old, old story
00:07:30.08\00:07:34.68
Of Jesus and His love
00:07:34.72\00:07:39.52
I love to tell the story
00:07:39.55\00:07:44.26
'Tis pleasant to repeat
00:07:44.29\00:07:48.80
What seems each time I tell it
00:07:48.83\00:07:53.47
More wonderfully sweet
00:07:53.50\00:07:58.14
I love to tell the story
00:07:58.17\00:08:02.64
For some have never heard
00:08:02.68\00:08:07.08
The message of salvation
00:08:07.12\00:08:11.32
From God's own Holy Word
00:08:11.35\00:08:17.16
On the fourth.
00:08:17.19\00:08:18.53
I love to tell the story
00:08:18.56\00:08:23.00
For those who know it best
00:08:23.03\00:08:27.57
Seem hungering and thirsting
00:08:27.60\00:08:32.31
To hear it like the rest
00:08:32.34\00:08:37.05
And when in scenes of glory
00:08:37.08\00:08:41.98
I sing the new, new song
00:08:42.02\00:08:46.69
'Twill be the old, old story
00:08:46.72\00:08:51.43
That I have loved so long
00:08:51.46\00:08:56.77
I love to tell the story
00:08:56.80\00:09:01.90
'Twill be my theme in glory
00:09:01.94\00:09:06.61
To tell the old, old story
00:09:06.64\00:09:11.95
Of Jesus and His love
00:09:11.98\00:09:17.89
Of Jesus and His love
00:09:17.92\00:09:23.26
I asked the Lord to comfort me
00:09:45.98\00:09:51.62
When things Weren't going my way
00:09:51.65\00:09:57.79
He said to me,
00:09:57.83\00:10:00.06
I will comfort you
00:10:00.10\00:10:03.47
And lift your cares away
00:10:03.50\00:10:10.34
I asked the Lord
00:10:10.37\00:10:13.14
to walk with me
00:10:13.17\00:10:15.81
When darkness
Was all that I knew
00:10:15.84\00:10:22.18
He said to me, never be afraid
00:10:22.22\00:10:28.09
For I will see you through
00:10:28.12\00:10:34.86
I did not ask for riches
00:10:34.90\00:10:40.60
He gave me wealth untold
00:10:40.64\00:10:46.07
The moon, the stars
00:10:46.11\00:10:48.44
The sky, the sun
00:10:48.48\00:10:50.58
He gave me eyes to behold
00:10:50.61\00:10:56.55
I thank the Lord for everything
00:10:56.58\00:11:01.96
And I count my
blessings Each day
00:11:01.99\00:11:08.70
He came to me
00:11:08.73\00:11:11.33
when I needed Him
00:11:11.37\00:11:14.57
I only had to pray
00:11:14.60\00:11:19.11
And I thank my
Lord For everything
00:11:46.67\00:11:52.27
And I count my
blessings Each day
00:11:52.31\00:11:58.01
He came to me when I needed Him
00:11:58.05\00:12:02.78
I only had to pray
00:12:02.82\00:12:08.92
He will come to you
00:12:08.96\00:12:10.86
If you'll ask Him to
00:12:10.89\00:12:16.00
He's only a prayer away
00:12:16.03\00:12:22.70
What a great song.
00:12:34.05\00:12:35.45
Wonderful request.
00:12:35.48\00:12:36.82
Thanks for requesting that song.
00:12:36.85\00:12:39.02
The Apostle
Paul gave such simple
00:12:39.05\00:12:41.46
and sound advice
in Colossians 3:2,
00:12:41.49\00:12:45.06
that is more
appropriate now than ever.
00:12:45.09\00:12:47.66
Set your mind on things above,
not on things on the earth.
00:12:47.70\00:12:52.60
If I were traveling with
and ministering with Paul
00:12:52.63\00:12:57.41
when he spoke those words,
00:12:57.44\00:12:59.51
I would begin to play
softly behind him this song.
00:12:59.54\00:13:05.15
Turn your eyes
00:13:43.85\00:13:48.09
Upon Jesus
00:13:48.12\00:13:53.06
Look full in His wonderful face
00:13:53.09\00:13:58.40
And the things of earth
00:14:02.00\00:14:06.01
Will grow strangely dim
00:14:06.04\00:14:12.21
In the light of His glory
00:14:12.25\00:14:18.59
And grace
00:14:18.62\00:14:23.46
Through death
00:14:23.49\00:14:25.39
Into life everlasting
00:14:25.43\00:14:31.17
He passed
00:14:31.20\00:14:32.67
And we follow Him there
00:14:32.70\00:14:38.57
O'er us sin no more Has dominion
00:14:38.61\00:14:44.78
For more than conquerors we are
00:14:44.81\00:14:50.22
Turn your eyes
00:14:53.79\00:14:57.03
Upon Jesus
00:14:57.06\00:15:01.46
Look full in His wonderful face
00:15:01.50\00:15:06.40
And the things of earth
00:15:09.40\00:15:13.07
Will grow strangely dim
00:15:13.11\00:15:18.41
In the light of His glory
00:15:18.45\00:15:23.92
And grace
00:15:23.95\00:15:27.09
You sing it.
00:15:27.12\00:15:28.46
Turn your eyes
00:15:55.58\00:15:58.92
Upon Jesus
00:15:58.95\00:16:03.12
Look full in His wonderful face
00:16:03.16\00:16:10.97
And the things of earth
00:16:11.00\00:16:14.44
Will grow strangely dim
00:16:14.47\00:16:19.94
In the light of His glory
00:16:19.97\00:16:26.58
And grace
00:16:26.61\00:16:29.48
We'll be right back after this.
00:16:37.66\00:16:39.19
