00:01 Welcome back to Your Favorites by Request.
00:03 I've been so blessed to work with some amazing talent,
00:06 some musicians that put me to shame,
00:09 and I have a friend here who I am going to talk today.
00:13 Her name is Ginger Pitchers,
00:15 she was part of the Lester Family.
00:16 She is a daughter of the Lester's.
00:19 And, Ginger, are you on the line?
00:22 Tim Parton, hi there.
00:24 How are you doing?
00:25 I'm doing awesome.
00:27 It is so great to see you.
00:28 I was just telling my friends, the viewers
00:30 that there are musicians who put me to shame
00:32 and you are one of them.
00:34 But you are a wonderful friend
00:37 and so there has never been any competition.
00:39 We have fortunately been able to work together
00:41 and unite our efforts and make wonderful music.
00:45 That's right.
00:46 Fortunately been able to work together.
00:47 I like that,
00:49 that's one of my very favorite things in the world to do
00:51 is to work and write music with you
00:54 and for live performances
00:55 and then the recordings in studio too.
00:57 Right. And you have been...
00:59 You have a quite legacy of being in a singing family,
01:04 you were raised in the singing family, right?
01:05 Tell me a little bit about what music means to you?
01:09 I have been raised
01:10 in gospel music ministry all my life.
01:11 My family is the Lester Family
01:13 and we are celebrating over 90 years
01:16 of continuous gospel music ministry,
01:18 and I cannot express to you
01:19 what a blessing and a joy that has been in my life
01:23 and having the family all sing together
01:26 periodically in different times.
01:28 And then the other thing is
01:30 they would allow me to arrange some of the music
01:32 and I have a love of all sorts of music.
01:35 And I would try to incorporate
01:37 some of the different styles of music
01:39 and get them into the songs that we were sitting in.
01:41 Exactly, well, I know now that you came off the road
01:45 and you joined your husband
01:47 who is now a pastor of a Baptist church
01:49 down in South Missouri.
01:51 And, so you're playing a different role
01:54 in the music now but in the local church.
01:57 I truly am and it's been a great transition.
02:01 We're been here almost five years now
02:03 and just seeing God work through our church congregation
02:07 and the whole community
02:09 incorporating the old hymns of the church
02:11 along with the new praise and worship,
02:13 it can be a blended thing.
02:15 And we are so excited and so blessed
02:18 to see how God uses that
02:20 and we just try to glorify Him in each and everything
02:24 we do here in Annapolis, Missouri.
02:27 Exactly, I feel the very same way.
02:29 We try to do that, you know, I'm kind of
02:32 at the mercy of the request that come in,
02:35 but it's amazing that the vast array
02:38 and variety of requests that come in.
02:41 People do love the old songs
02:42 but they love the new praise and worship,
02:44 and I think if it glorifies God we're gonna sing it.
02:47 Do you have a favorite song
02:49 that we might be able to sing together?
02:53 Well, that's a tough one, that's a hard one
02:55 but, yeah, I would like to sing
02:58 what a friend we have in Jesus
02:59 because I've had group of kids,
03:01 younger kids on Sunday nights
03:04 and I teach them from old songs
03:05 or we sing one of the old hymns.
03:07 And what a friend we have in Jesus
03:08 is a true favorite,
03:09 and it blesses me every time
03:11 I sing the words to this precious song.
03:13 Oh, excellent.
03:15 What a friend we have in Jesus, we love that song for sure.
03:17 I do get requests for that, so that'll be good to sing.
03:20 I'll play the intro
03:21 and then you can just sing along with me, all right?
03:32 What a friend we have in Jesus
03:40 All our sins and griefs
03:44 To bear
03:48 What a privilege
03:52 To carry
03:56 Everything to God in prayer
04:05 Oh, what peace
04:07 We often forfeit
04:13 Oh, what needless pain
04:17 We bear
04:22 All because
04:25 We do not carry
04:30 Everything to God in prayer
04:42 Thank you, Ginger, so very much.
04:44 I appreciate you calling in.
04:45 I love you, take care of yourself
04:47 and I'll talk to you again soon.
04:48 Love you too, Tim. Good bye.
04:50 God bless you.
04:53 Let's continue singing some wonderful songs.
04:55 This song is for Christie.
04:57 She loves this song, trust and obey.
05:11 When we walk with the Lord
05:15 In the light of His Word
05:18 What a glory He sheds on our way!
05:24 While we do His good will
05:27 He abides with us still
05:30 And with all who will trust and obey
05:37 Trust and obey
05:39 For there's no other way
05:43 To be happy in Jesus
05:48 But to trust and obey
05:55 Not a burden we bear
05:58 Not a sorrow we share
06:01 But our toil He doth richly repay
06:07 Not a grief or a loss
06:09 Not a frown or a cross
06:12 But is blest if we trust and obey
06:21 But we never can prove
06:24 The delights of His love
06:27 Until all on the altar we lay
06:32 For the favor He shows
06:35 For the joy He bestows
06:38 Are for those who will trust and obey
06:44 Trust and obey For there's no other way
06:50 To be happy in Jesus
06:55 But to trust and obey
07:08 Then in fellowship sweet We will sit at His feet
07:14 Or we'll walk by His side in the way
07:19 What He says we will do
07:22 And where He sends we will go
07:25 Never fear, only trust and obey
07:31 Trust and obey For there's no other way
07:37 To be happy in Jesus
07:44 But to trust and obey
08:01 Here's another wonderful song, the love of God.
08:19 The love of God is greater far
08:24 Than tongue or pen can ever tell
08:29 It goes beyond the highest star
08:34 And reaches to the lowest hell
08:40 The guilty pair, bowed down with care
08:45 God gave His Son to win
08:50 His erring child He reconciled
08:56 And pardoned from his sin
09:01 Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
09:07 How measureless and strong!
09:13 It shall forevermore endure
09:18 The saints' and angels' song
09:26 When hoary time shall pass away
09:31 And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
09:36 When men who here refuse to pray
09:41 On rocks and hills and mountains call
09:46 God's love so sure, shall still endure
09:51 All measureless and strong
09:56 Redeeming grace to Adam's race
10:02 The saints' and angels' song
10:07 Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
10:13 How measureless and strong!
10:18 It shall forevermore endure
10:23 The saints' and angels' song
10:33 Could we with ink the ocean fill
10:38 And were the skies of parchment
10:44 Were every stalk on earth a quill
10:49 And every man a scribe by trade
10:54 To write the love of God above
11:00 Would drain the ocean dry
11:05 Nor could the scroll contain the whole
11:10 Though stretched from sky to sky
11:16 Oh, love of God
11:21 How rich and pure!
11:24 How measureless and strong!
11:30 It shall forevermore endure
11:37 The saints' and angels' song
11:43 It shall
11:44 Forevermore endure
11:51 The saints' and angels' song
12:05 Oh, we're so blessed to have
12:07 the wonderful, wonderful love of God in our lives.
12:10 Amen?
12:14 I'm singing Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
12:19 Sweetest name I know
12:22 He fills my every longing
12:27 Keeps me singing as I go
12:31 He keeps me singing as I go
