Praise the Lord. 01:00 Tell us about your ministry. 01:03 How did you get started in music? 01:05 Well, I come from a musical family. 01:09 My father was a minister. 01:11 We grew up singing at home 01:13 for worship a lot and singing at church. 01:16 It died of a lot, I remember singing a few times at college, 01:20 but, you know, when I turned 30, 01:22 I realized that-- I said to myself, 01:24 you know, this is when Jesus started His ministry. 01:26 Wow! What am I doing for Christ? 01:29 You know, what's going to my legacy? 01:30 What are my kids going to know me for? 01:32 And how will I improve and help the kingdom of God? 01:36 You didn't sing really until you were 30? 01:38 Didn't really, not very organized, 01:40 just here and there every once in a while for song service, 01:43 you know, filling in here and there. 01:46 And so at that time, 01:48 you know, I decided to start singing a little bit more 01:50 so my ministry is just getting started, 01:54 I've not been in this very long. 01:55 Okay. Oh, that's wonderful. 01:57 What do you envision as the direction, 02:01 the path that God has taken you down musically? 02:04 Well, somebody used a term with me earlier 02:07 that God has invested in me, and I take that to heart. 02:10 I want to give God a good return on His investment. 02:13 And souls are so precious. 02:15 If I were to live my entire life 02:18 and bring what, just one person to Christ with my music, 02:21 I think it would be worth it, so my goal is just to help 02:25 people realize that Christ is there for them 02:27 that Christ is our savior 02:29 and that we need to give our all to Him. 02:32 Praise the Lord. 02:34 Usually you need to know that no matter where you're in life, 02:37 it's never too late to begin a ministry for Christ. 02:41 Brother Mervyn here started at 30 to minister in music. 02:45 If your gift isn't music, it could just be hospitality, 02:48 it could be whatever it is, God has a plan for you. 02:52 As you listen to Brother Mervyn today, 02:55 meditate on the lyrics to his songs 02:57 and know that God has something special for you, 03:02 just bask in His presence. 03:03 May God bless you as you listen to Brother Mervyn 03:07 magnify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 03:29 Time measured out my days 03:35 Life carried me along 03:42 In my soul I yearned to follow God 03:50 But knew I'd never be so strong 03:56 I looked hard at this world 04:01 To know how heaven could be gained 04:09 Just to end where I began 04:13 Where human effort is all in vain 04:24 Were it not for grace 04:31 I can tell you where I'd be 04:38 Wandering down at some pointless road to nowhere 04:45 With my salvation up to me 04:51 I know how that would go 04:58 The battles I would face 05:05 Forever running but losing the race 05:13 Were it not for grace 05:23 So here is all my praise 05:31 Expressed with all my heart 05:38 Offered to the Friend who took my place 05:45 And ran the course I could not start 05:51 And when He saw in full 05:56 Just how much His love would cost 06:04 He still went the final mile between me and heaven 06:12 So I would not be lost 06:19 Were it not for grace 06:27 I can tell you where I'd be 06:34 Wandering down at some pointless road to nowhere 06:41 With my salvation up to me 06:47 I know how that would go 06:54 The battles I would face 07:01 Forever running but losing the race 07:08 Were it not for grace 07:16 Forever running but losing the race 07:24 Were it not for grace 07:44 This song is a reminder to me 07:47 that whether we're on the mountaintop 07:49 or whether we're suffering through wilderness experience, 07:52 God is here with us. 07:54 He is here to comfort and to guide. 08:11 I sense the awesome moving 08:19 Of the Holy Spirit 08:26 I see His countenance 08:32 Resting on your face 08:39 I know that there are angels 08:45 Hovering all around us 08:51 For the presence of the Lord 08:59 Is in this place 09:07 He is here, Hallelujah 09:14 He is here, Amen 09:21 He is here, Holy, Holy 09:29 I will bless His name again 09:36 He is here, listen closely 09:44 Hear Him calling out your name 09:51 He is here, you can touch Him 09:59 You will never be the same 10:13 I searched for peace 10:19 In the shadows, dark and lonely 10:26 Gave up on finding true 10:33 And lasting love 10:39 I tasted all those things 10:44 That sin could fear to offer 10:50 But today I feast on manna 10:57 From above 11:05 He is here, Hallelujah 11:13 He is here, Amen 11:20 He is here, Holy, Holy 11:27 I will bless His name again 11:35 He is here, listen closely 11:42 Hear Him calling out your name 11:49 He is here, you can touch Him 11:57 You will never be the same 12:09 He is here, Hallelujah 12:18 He is here, Amen 12:25 He is here, Holy, Holy 12:33 I will bless His name again 12:41 He is here, listen closely 12:49 Hear Him calling out your name 12:56 He is here, you can touch Him 13:03 You will never be the same 13:11 He is here, you can touch Him 13:20 You will never be 13:29 The same 13:37 Never be the same 13:59 Magnify the Lord with me 14:02 Magnify Him 14:07 I'm here with Andre Chapman, a wonderful man of God. 14:11 Thank you, Andre, for being on Magnify Him. 14:13 It's a pleasure to be here, Duawne. 14:14 So let start off with where you're from? 14:18 I was born in Jamaica, raised in Trinidad and Tobago. 14:20 Came here when I was 11 years old. 14:22 And my brother who I'm going to sing with later, 14:25 he was born in New York and came to, 14:27 you know, to the-as well. 14:29 Okay. 14:30 So do you and your brother sing together a lot? 14:32 We started about 14:33 three years ago singing together 14:35 but we were looking to do that some more. 14:37 We're mostly solo artists. 14:39 I may go up to weddings 14:40 and different churches I'll be singing. 14:42 Now who is some of your influences? 14:44 I would say Wintley Phipps, Larnelle Harris, Steve Green. 14:47 Very good.
