Your Favorite
By Request La-la-la
00:00:17.45\00:00:21.08
I'm embarrassed to admit this,
00:00:21.12\00:00:22.62
but I can't tell you
00:00:22.65\00:00:23.99
how many times I've
looked for my glasses
00:00:24.02\00:00:25.35
or my phone
00:00:25.39\00:00:26.92
and they were
right there on my head
00:00:26.96\00:00:28.46
or in my hand.
00:00:28.49\00:00:30.06
Have you ever looked
for something so intently
00:00:30.09\00:00:33.26
searching high and low,
00:00:33.29\00:00:35.20
and it was obviously
right there in front of you?
00:00:35.23\00:00:38.87
While the writer of
this song can relate
00:00:38.90\00:00:41.30
as his search for an inner peace
00:00:41.34\00:00:43.27
resulted in an answer
that was there all along.
00:00:43.30\00:00:47.84
I hope you like this song.
00:00:47.88\00:00:49.21
Time after time
00:00:57.79\00:01:00.39
I went searching for peace
00:01:00.42\00:01:03.53
in some void
00:01:03.56\00:01:06.86
I was trying to blame
All my ills on this world
00:01:06.90\00:01:13.80
I was in
00:01:13.84\00:01:18.24
Surface relationships
00:01:18.27\00:01:21.68
used me 'til I was done in
00:01:21.71\00:01:28.18
And all the while someone
00:01:28.22\00:01:31.49
Was begging to free me from sin
00:01:31.52\00:01:35.46
He was there all the time
00:01:38.53\00:01:41.60
He was there all the time
00:01:47.54\00:01:52.77
Waiting patiently in line
00:01:55.78\00:02:00.05
He was there all the time
00:02:03.95\00:02:09.79
Never again
00:02:17.47\00:02:20.14
will I look for a
fake rainbow's end
00:02:20.17\00:02:26.81
Now that I have the answer
00:02:26.84\00:02:30.71
My life is just
starting to rhyme
00:02:30.75\00:02:34.28
Sharing each new day with Him
00:02:38.02\00:02:42.79
Is a cup of fresh wine
00:02:42.82\00:02:48.00
And oh what I missed
00:02:48.03\00:02:51.80
He's been waiting
right there all the time
00:02:51.83\00:02:55.74
He was there all the time
00:02:58.81\00:03:03.55
He was there all the time
00:03:07.88\00:03:10.99
Waiting patiently in line
00:03:15.79\00:03:20.23
He was there all the time
00:03:25.20\00:03:28.77
He was there all the time
00:03:34.71\00:03:38.45
You might file that
song under lessons learned.
00:03:44.25\00:03:49.92
There are a lot of
songs that teach us lessons,
00:03:49.96\00:03:53.46
and this is a
lesson that I'm learning.
00:03:53.50\00:03:57.10
And you probably are too.
00:03:57.13\00:04:00.74
Sing this with me.
00:04:00.77\00:04:03.30
Learning to lean
00:04:03.34\00:04:07.98
Learning to lean
00:04:08.01\00:04:12.15
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
00:04:12.18\00:04:17.09
Finding more power
00:04:21.92\00:04:26.26
than I've ever dreamed
00:04:26.29\00:04:30.33
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
00:04:30.37\00:04:35.40
Sad time at an alter I knelt
00:04:43.18\00:04:46.72
I found peace that was so serene
00:04:50.89\00:04:56.49
And all that He asks
is a child like trust
00:05:00.06\00:05:05.13
And a heart that
is learning to lean
00:05:08.77\00:05:12.97
Learning to lean
00:05:18.95\00:05:23.82
Learning to lean
00:05:23.85\00:05:27.86
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
00:05:27.89\00:05:34.36
Finding more power
00:05:37.87\00:05:42.20
than I've ever dreamed
00:05:42.24\00:05:46.54
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
00:05:46.57\00:05:50.95
There is a glorious victory
00:05:59.25\00:06:04.03
each day now for me
00:06:04.06\00:06:08.00
I've found sweet peace
00:06:08.03\00:06:10.93
that is so serene
00:06:10.97\00:06:14.30
He helps with each task
00:06:17.87\00:06:22.34
if I'll only ask Everyday now
00:06:22.38\00:06:26.18
I'm learning to lean
00:06:29.68\00:06:35.89
Oh, I'm learning to lean
00:06:35.92\00:06:42.00
Learning to lean
00:06:42.03\00:06:45.93
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
00:06:45.97\00:06:49.17
I'm finding more
power than I've ever dreamed
00:06:55.68\00:07:01.58
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
00:07:05.09\00:07:07.02
What a lesson to learn, right?
00:07:22.07\00:07:25.24
You know,
00:07:25.27\00:07:26.61
you may be going
through something
00:07:26.64\00:07:28.01
that you've never
gone through before
00:07:28.04\00:07:31.05
and you're having to
learn to depend on Him.
00:07:31.08\00:07:35.68
There's a song
that we used to sing.
00:07:35.72\00:07:37.55
There are a lot of
songs that are popular
00:07:37.59\00:07:40.26
because of their chorus.
00:07:40.29\00:07:41.62
And maybe that's the only part
00:07:41.66\00:07:43.43
that really anyone
knows is the chorus.
00:07:43.46\00:07:46.23
But this request was sent
in, it's called Got Any Rivers.
00:07:46.26\00:07:50.97
That's the name of the song.
00:07:51.00\00:07:52.60
And I remember
singing this chorus in church
00:07:52.63\00:07:54.90
when I was a kid.
00:07:54.94\00:07:57.07
And it says,
00:07:57.11\00:07:58.44
Got any rivers you
think are uncrossable?
00:07:58.47\00:08:00.64
Got any mountains
you can't tunnel through?
00:08:00.68\00:08:03.45
God specializes in
things thought impossible
00:08:03.48\00:08:07.52
and He can do what
no other power can do.
00:08:07.55\00:08:12.02
And as I was
preparing for this program,
00:08:12.05\00:08:14.72
I actually found
this song in a hymnal
00:08:14.76\00:08:19.36
and didn't realize
that it had verses,
00:08:19.39\00:08:21.40
but they're wonderful verses
00:08:21.43\00:08:22.76
and I just want
to quote them to you,
00:08:22.80\00:08:25.97
read them, I guess to you.
00:08:26.00\00:08:27.87
It's about the story of Joshua.
00:08:27.90\00:08:30.44
I never knew that this
had verses, but it says,
00:08:30.47\00:08:33.31
"Be of good courage
God spoken unto Joshua.
00:08:33.34\00:08:36.81
When o'er the river
God pointed the way.
00:08:36.85\00:08:39.98
Jordan uncrossable,
things seemed impossible.
00:08:40.02\00:08:44.89
Waters divide as
the march and obey."
00:08:44.92\00:08:48.79
In the second verse,
00:08:48.82\00:08:50.26
"Battles to win,
00:08:50.29\00:08:51.86
they would meet
with their obstacles.
00:08:51.89\00:08:54.16
Jericho's walls, too,
00:08:54.20\00:08:56.77
must fall to the ground.
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.00
God never failed.
00:08:59.03\00:09:00.84
He stood back of his promises.
00:09:00.87\00:09:03.71
Walls had to crumble
as they marched around."
00:09:03.74\00:09:07.88
That's good.
00:09:07.91\00:09:09.24
It's a great telling
of that story of Joshua.
00:09:09.28\00:09:11.38
And then the third verse,
00:09:11.41\00:09:12.85
last verse
relates to me and you.
00:09:12.88\00:09:15.68
"God is the same and
His Word is dependable.
00:09:15.72\00:09:19.25
He'll make a way
through the waters for you.
00:09:19.29\00:09:22.76
Life's situations
by Him are amendable.
00:09:22.79\00:09:27.46
Mountains and hills He
will part for you too."
00:09:27.50\00:09:31.03
And this is the chorus.
00:09:34.37\00:09:37.17
Got any rivers you
think are uncrossable?
00:09:37.21\00:09:42.98
Got any mountains,
you cannot tunnel through?
00:09:47.22\00:09:51.29
God specializes in
things thought impossible
00:09:56.99\00:10:01.16
And He can do what
no other power can do
00:10:07.10\00:10:13.81
Sing that chorus again.
00:10:18.05\00:10:19.85
Got any rivers you
think are uncrossable?
00:10:19.88\00:10:25.79
Got any mountains,
00:10:30.19\00:10:34.50
you can't tunnel through?
00:10:34.53\00:10:40.47
God specializes in
things thought impossible
00:10:40.50\00:10:44.64
And He can do what
no other power can do
00:10:50.81\00:10:56.99
So whatever
you're going through,
00:11:06.29\00:11:08.56
this song will
be of encouragement.
00:11:08.60\00:11:11.67
You may feel
down and feel like God
00:11:11.70\00:11:16.20
Has somehow forgotten
00:11:16.24\00:11:21.54
That you are
faced with circumstances
00:11:21.58\00:11:26.61
You can't get through
00:11:26.65\00:11:31.62
But now it seems
that there's no way out
00:11:31.65\00:11:36.26
And you're going under
00:11:36.29\00:11:41.23
God's proven time and time again
00:11:41.26\00:11:46.03
He'll take care of you
00:11:46.07\00:11:51.07
And He'll do it again for you
00:11:51.11\00:11:56.75
He'll do it again
00:11:56.78\00:12:01.98
Just take a look
at where you Are now
00:12:02.02\00:12:06.96
and where you have been
00:12:06.99\00:12:11.03
Hasn't He always
come through for you
00:12:11.06\00:12:17.07
He's the same now as then
00:12:17.10\00:12:22.17
You may not know how
00:12:22.20\00:12:24.87
You may not know when
00:12:24.91\00:12:27.18
But He'll do it again
00:12:27.21\00:12:29.91
God knows the things
00:12:33.11\00:12:35.25
that you're going through
00:12:35.28\00:12:37.72
And He knows how you're hurting
00:12:37.75\00:12:42.62
You see,
00:12:42.66\00:12:44.03
He knows just how your heart
00:12:44.06\00:12:47.43
Has been broken in two
00:12:47.46\00:12:52.93
But He's the God of
the stars, of the sun
00:12:52.97\00:12:58.17
And He is your Father You see,
00:12:58.21\00:13:03.78
He can calm the storm
And He can fix it for you
00:13:03.81\00:13:09.52
He'll do it again for you
00:13:12.95\00:13:17.86
He'll do it again
00:13:17.89\00:13:23.10
Just take a look
at where you Are now
00:13:23.13\00:13:28.00
and where you have been
00:13:28.04\00:13:32.17
Hasn't He always come through
00:13:32.21\00:13:36.08
for you He's
the same now as then
00:13:36.11\00:13:39.38
You may not know how
You may not know when
00:13:43.18\00:13:48.19
But He'll do it again
00:13:48.22\00:13:52.89
You may not know how
00:13:52.93\00:13:55.93
You may not know when
00:13:55.96\00:13:58.80
But He'll do it again
00:13:58.83\00:14:01.80
If you're leaning on Him,
if you're trusting in Him,
00:14:05.87\00:14:09.81
any river that you
think is uncrossable,
00:14:09.84\00:14:14.12
He'll make it crossable
and He'll see you through.
00:14:14.15\00:14:16.95
Come back and sing with us again
00:14:16.99\00:14:18.59
after this message.
00:14:18.62\00:14:19.95
