00:19 My name is Lyndon Carriger.
00:21 And I'm Danita Jones and we are so excited
00:24 that you could join us today.
00:26 Today we have artists that are willing to come
00:28 and lift up the name of Jesus Christ.
00:30 Yes.
00:31 Today we have two female groups,
00:33 Serenity from Oakwood University
00:35 and His from Andrews.
00:37 What's up Oakwood and Andrews? I see you.
00:39 Oh, we are so excited to have them here.
00:41 So call your neighbors, call your friends
00:43 and let them know that right here
00:46 we're about to Magnify Him.
00:49 Magnify the Lord with me
00:52 Magnify Him
00:56 Guess what Magnify Him family at home.
00:59 I have some lovely ladies sitting here with me
01:01 from Oakwood University, Serenity.
01:04 Welcome to Magnify Him.
01:06 How are you ladies doing today?
01:07 Doing well. Thank you.
01:09 So tell me how did you guys get together?
01:14 Well, our freshmen year of Oakwood University,
01:17 there was a reality show called "Making the Group."
01:19 It was basically a competition and we ended up
01:22 winning the competition, so as a result we made a group.
01:26 Wow.
01:27 So you got to record or do a video for wining?
01:32 Yes, we got our music video.
01:33 We got to record our song
01:35 and we got to be in the group called Serenity.
01:39 That's awesome.
01:40 So how did you guys come up with the name Serenity?
01:42 Oh, we were just on Facebook
01:44 throwing names out there and I was like,
01:46 what do you guys think about Serenity?
01:47 And she hated it, but we were like
01:49 well it's the best name we can come up with so.
01:51 Okay.
01:52 So it was a television show at Oakwood University,
01:56 so obviously you guys are in college.
01:59 How did you handle being in college
02:02 and doing a television show at the same time?
02:05 It was very difficult as anything in college is,
02:08 when you're like handling two things,
02:10 juggling two things at the same time.
02:11 But we found the time just as we do now.
02:14 We've had our arguments like sisters and all that,
02:16 but it's good, yeah.
02:18 Tell me more about yourself individually.
02:21 I guess I'll start.
02:22 My name is Priscilla Tolera and I'm of course the senior
02:25 at Oakwood University.
02:26 My major is Business Healthcare Administration.
02:28 And being a part of the group is definitely blessing for me.
02:31 I do love to sing, it's one of my hobbies so
02:33 it's a little bit about myself.
02:34 That's great.
02:36 My name is LaTiyfa Fields and I have a double major
02:38 in International Studies and Political Science
02:40 and I'm a graduating senior.
02:41 Oh, wow. Yes.
02:42 Praise the Lord for that.
02:44 And my name is Whitney Andrews. I'm from Maryland.
02:46 I'm also senior at Oakwood, but I'm 5 year,
02:48 so next year I'll be--
02:49 For me International Studies and Spanish are my two majors.
02:53 Okay. Okay.
02:54 And I'm Erin Tolbert, I'm also from Maryland
02:56 and a senior and my major is broadcast journalism
02:59 and this is also my senior year at Oakwood.
03:01 Okay. Oh, great.
03:03 So now that you've won the competition,
03:05 what's next for the group?
03:08 I might probably say the next thing
03:09 we're looking at is,
03:11 since we're graduating senior in the group, probably
03:13 traveling would be something that we love to do
03:16 and just continuing to sing together
03:17 in anyway that we can.
03:19 Well, I heard you guys warm up
03:22 and let me tell me, you guys have a beautiful harmony in.
03:25 You at home, you're gonna be blessed.
03:27 What songs are you gonna be doing today?
03:29 Today we'll be doing, "Give me a clean heart
03:30 and the original free."
03:32 An original?
03:33 So that means you guys write your own music.
03:35 We're trying. We're upcoming artists.
03:39 Awesome.
03:40 Well, you at home you're gonna, you're in for a blessing
03:43 let me just tell you that.
03:44 Serenity, everybody.
04:45 Free, Free
04:48 Praise the Lord, I'm free
04:50 No longer bound No more chains holding me
04:54 My soul is resting

05:15 Praise the Lord
05:17 Hallelujah, I'm free
05:20 Once upon a time in a perfect land
05:24 There was an angel who was second in command
05:28 Jealousy and pride inside of him
05:32 He was cast out of heaven and the world he tried to win
05:37 His name was Adam
05:39 Her name was Eve,
05:41 While in the garden, they were deceived
05:45 Separated from God, they're bound to sin
05:49 And the plan of salvation would now begin
05:54 Free, Free
05:56 Praise the Lord, I'm free

06:03 My soul is resting
06:05 It's such a blessing
06:07 Praise the Lord
06:09 Hallelujah, I'm free
06:11 Now once I was a prisoner bound to my sins
06:15 The only things I wanted were the pleasures within
06:19 But then Jesus came and He rescued my soul
06:24 He turned my ground and He made me whole
06:28 My God in heaven sent His Son for me
06:33 Jesus the Savior died on Calvary
06:37 Satan tells lies expecting the fee
06:41 But he didn't know God would deliver me
06:46 Free, Free
06:48 Praise the Lord, I'm free
06:50 No longer bound No more chains holding me
06:54 My soul is resting

07:11 My soul is resting
07:14 It's just a blessing
07:16 Praise the Lord
07:17 Hallelujah, I'm free
07:23 I am free from pain and sorrow
07:29 Jesus has risen so now that I know I am free
07:33 My burdens have been lifted
07:38 Praise the Lord, I've been set free
07:47 I'm free from my past of depression and heartache
07:53 Oppression, I'm free from the chains of sin
07:56 Yes I'm free, free
08:00 Praise the Lord, I'm free
08:02 No longer bound No more chains holding me

10:12 We want the Lord to give us the clean heart

10:42 Lord, fix my heart

13:50 I'll follow thee
14:05 Magnify the Lord with me
14:08 Magnify Him
14:13 You may wonder what New York and Boston may have in common.
14:17 Well, I'll have a treat for you today.
14:19 We have some amazing ladies here.
14:21 I would love to welcome to Magnify Him, His.
14:25 Welcome ladies.
14:26 Thank you.
14:27 We're so glad to have you all here.
14:28 Now I have to say that even thought we haven't heard
14:31 you all sing here on the program yet.
14:33 Hanging out with you all at backstage
14:35 has been so much fun.
14:37 You all do a lot of like neat stuff,
14:39 especially in our dressing room when we're getting ready.
14:41 Tell me--
14:42 Well, first of all let us know your names.
14:43 Let's do that. Yes.
14:44 My name is Shernal Henry and I'm from New York City.
14:48 My name is Shanell Roberts, I'm also from New York.
14:50 I'm Melissa Fatah and I'm from Boston.
14:53 Wonderful.
14:54 And, and like we were saying before the music backstage.
14:57 We were having a blast, joining in together
14:59 in some songs and making them up as we go along.
15:02 What were some of the influences
15:04 you all had growing up as far as singing.
15:06 How did some of you all get started?
15:08 Well, I began singing in my home church
15:10 Mount Sinai in New York City.
15:11 And I'd just sing solos.
15:13 I would do, do ads with the Altino Brothers
15:16 and things of that sort.
15:17 Then I attended a boarding school
15:18 called Pine Forge Academy and Pine Forge, Pennsylvania
15:21 and that is where my love of choral singing
15:23 and becoming a soprano really developed,
15:25 so, yeah.
15:27 I actually didn't know that I could sing
15:29 for quite sometime.
15:30 I went to high school,
15:32 I was performating at high school
15:33 actually for trombone and there was a choir there,
15:35 but I never joined and then in my senior year
15:37 I sang with a group of people and then they were like,
15:40 you can sing, why don't you audition for vocal
15:42 and I was like, I didn't know.
15:44 And like, I used to sing in my church a little bit,
15:46 but nothing like serious in the choir.
15:48 And then when I got to Andrews I joined Deliverance Mass Choir
15:50 and then I started singing.
15:52 And then I met these three ladies
15:53 and then that's when I really started singing.
15:56 What about you, Melisa?
15:58 Well, when I was growing up,
16:00 my mom always made us sing in church.
16:04 It was like a family group.
16:05 She wanted us to have a family group,
16:06 so that's when I really started singing,
16:08 not really but I was just in the group.
16:10 But actually when I went to Pine Forge with Shernal,
16:12 we were both in the Pine Forge Academy choir
16:14 and that's when I really started singing more
16:17 and then when I met these ladies,
16:20 we formed a group.
16:21 You became hit.
16:22 I love that. That works.
16:24 Now you all from Andrews University?
16:26 Yes, we are.
16:27 Tell us a little bit about, you know,
16:28 what your majors are
16:29 and what you all are planning on doing with that?
16:31 You like to start? I can start.
16:33 My major is family studies and from that I want to do
16:37 marriage and family therapy.
16:40 Okay. I'll go next.
16:41 My major is animal science and it was pre-vet,
16:44 but I switched to pre-med because I decided that
16:46 I wanted to work more with people.
16:48 So right now I'm just gonna graduate
16:50 and then I'm gonna apply to PA School
16:52 and hopefully I can do that
16:54 and medical school in the future.
16:56 My major is music education.
16:58 And when I'm done, I want to teach.
17:00 I'll be conducting choirs and bands and orchestras
17:03 and 40 lessons, 30 lessons, all that stuff.
17:06 So we're excited about.
17:07 Now, okay, every group has a story
17:10 about how they got together.
17:12 We know that the two of you already met at Pine Forge
17:15 and we know that you kind of got involved
17:18 almost accidentally, but I'd love to hear the story.
17:22 I mean, we talk about Take 6 in the bathroom is,
17:24 did that how it work, or maybe next door,
17:26 that's exactly...
17:27 Take three in the bathroom.
17:28 Take three in the bathroom. Yes, how it work.
17:30 How did you all start the group?
17:32 We were actually roommates.
17:33 Yes. Oh, sorry.
17:36 We were--
17:38 We were actually roommates
17:40 and then they already knew each other.
17:41 So one day we were just in our room singing.
17:43 Singing, what we were singing?
17:45 I don't know. Something--
17:46 I don't know what we were singing
17:47 and we just started singing
17:48 and we were just oh, my God, we should sing,
17:50 we should form a group.
17:51 And then I remember, yeah, we were talking about
17:52 how they weren't really many small groups on campus,
17:56 maybe like a couple.
17:57 And we said, we should probably start singing.
17:59 So I believe we started in our dorm at worship service.
18:03 And then we transferred to the church
18:05 and to the other big church and many different places.
18:08 So it kind of blossomed from there.
18:10 That's neat And, well, go ahead.
18:12 Sorry I was gonna say, and there also weren't
18:13 many a cappella groups as well, so we decided,
18:16 you know, why not.
18:17 Now what's neat about your name is that a lot of people
18:20 will see the name His and they think that,
18:22 it's you know, giving honor to God and saying you're His.
18:25 What's neat is that you all kind of have
18:26 a double meaning with that.
18:28 What is the meaning, you have any?
18:29 I'll take it word. Yes.
18:30 Honor. In.
18:32 Song.
18:33 Honor in Song and that, I know,
18:34 if it's anything like the dressing room
18:36 that's exactly you guys
18:38 are gonna do us for us later on.
18:39 So we're already excited about that.
18:41 Now you all are seniors and there's gonna be
18:44 a great possibility that soon you all
18:46 are not gonna be in the same place.
18:49 Tears. Tears.
18:51 But what are your plans.
18:53 We don't want this music to go away.
18:55 Well, both of us live in New York
18:57 and Boston is only a three hour drive away, so...
18:59 I can take the train. You can take the train.
19:02 Yes. Yeah, so...
19:03 That's good.
19:04 We want to keep you all together and what exactly
19:07 when you all are doing arrangements
19:08 because you're a capella.
19:09 Who does the bulk of the arranging
19:11 or is it a group effort?
19:13 It's maybe. It's maybe a group effort.
19:16 Shannel, as her specialty is,
19:19 where we put our very intricate runs.
19:22 And Melissa holds down the forte
19:25 and we all kind of contribute
19:26 to harmonies and things of that sort.
19:28 So it's really is a group effort.
19:30 Well, I'm sure it's a rich sound.
19:31 And tell us a little bit about what you're all
19:32 are gonna be doing for us in a few moments.
19:35 Well, the first song that we're singing is "He's Sweet."
19:38 And it's actually the first song
19:39 that we've all sing together.
19:40 So it's kind of like a reminiscing--
19:43 Oh, that's nice little beginning there
19:44 and not necessary the one that you
19:46 got started within the bathroom I'm assuming now.
19:49 Maybe. Right.
19:50 What about the second song?
19:52 The second song is a medley between
19:54 God Restores and Moving Forward.
19:57 Wonderful and is this
19:58 the most recent song you all have sung together?
20:00 I believe this is the last song that we put together, yes.
20:02 The first and the last.
20:04 That kind of work for this kind of show.
20:06 You're gonna Magnify Him. How awesome is that.
20:09 Now with your songs for our people
20:11 watching at home, what exactly do you want them
20:14 to take away from your ministry today?
20:16 Well, first the name of our group is Honor in Song.
20:19 So we do believe that we should honor God
20:21 with a different talents that He's blesses with,
20:23 but not just with song, but with our lives as well.
20:27 Yeah and also we're singing
20:29 He's Sweet I Know and God Restores.
20:31 So just to show and share with others what God has done
20:34 for us in our lives as well.
20:36 And basically just to show God's love.
20:39 I agree.
20:40 We thank you so much and you all at home
20:42 get ready for "His."
20:47 I found a Savior and He's sweet
20:58 He's sweet I know
21:07 He's sweet I know
21:15 Dark clouds may rise
21:25 And strong winds may blow
21:39 I will tell the world
21:47 Wherever I go
21:56 That I have found a Savior
22:04 And He's, He's sweet I know
22:20 He knows my name
22:29 He knows my every thought
22:38 He sees each tear that falls
22:45 And hears me when I call
22:54 And hears me when I call
23:02 And hears me when I call
23:21 We like you to know that no matter
23:23 what you're going through God Restores.
23:28 God restores
23:36 God restores
23:44 God restores
23:52 God restores
23:59 He restores my mind
24:04 He restores my soul

24:16 He makes my life complete
24:21 My reunion is so sweet
24:26 I'm a living testimony

27:33 Magnify Him
27:37 Wow. Lyndon, that was an amazing program.
27:40 I really enjoyed myself and those girls.
27:42 Yes. Wow.
27:43 They could really sing in.
27:44 And we hope and pray here at Magnify Him
27:47 that you received
27:48 an awesome blessing from the music
27:50 and the testimonies that you heard today.
27:51 Yeah.
