I have led congregations before 21:57 where we would sing out of the hymnals 21:59 and I remember one Sabbath that I was leading in a church 22:05 that I hadn't been to 22:07 and I took a hymnal that I thought they might be using 22:11 and so, I was... I would call out a number 22:15 and I would kick it off and start with the intro 22:19 and I'd be into the first verse well 22:21 and I'd see this "deer in the headlights" look 22:25 or "kangaroo in the headlights" look... may be as it were... 22:28 and they didn't know what I was singing 22:31 because I was from... calling from a different hymnal 22:34 and so... that's why it's nice... 22:37 I know a lot of people don't like the words on the wall, 22:40 but at least we all know what we're singing 22:41 the same words... okay... 22:43 so, anyway... that has nothing to do with this 22:46 except for the fact, I do love to tell the story 22:49 and that is the name of the next song. 22:51 I Love to Tell the Story. 22:53 We'll sing this in the key of F 22:56 so, if you... if you play the guitar 22:57 strum along with me in the key of F, all right. 23:01 Piano. 23:10 Song. 24:06 Now you sing it. 24:09 Song. 27:31 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus... sweetest name I know... 27:39 fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go. 27:46 Thanks for singing along... 27:51 it's been wonderful, thank you. |
