Absolutely. 04:14 That is right. 04:15 So, Lori, we want to get a little bit of your background 04:17 and last time you came and sang 04:20 you were kind of new with the Lanny Wolfe Trio, 04:22 but the story goes beyond that. 04:25 It's not like you're just, 04:26 you know, somebody 04:28 who happened along that Lanny said, 04:29 "Well, she's talented and great and we want a part of that." 04:32 You go back how many years if you don't mind saying, 04:36 you know, with the Lanny Wolfe Trio, 04:38 when's the first time you sang as the Lanny Wolfe Trio member? 04:42 Well, when I was 18, but I knew every song. 04:48 I knew every little whiff, 04:50 I knew because it stayed on my record stack. 04:54 You know, we always had the stacks 04:55 you know and so it always stayed on my record stack, 04:58 and I went 05:00 a little Bible College in Jackson, Mississippi 05:03 where Lanny was the dean of music. 05:06 Okay. 05:07 And I had no idea the Trio was making any changes. 05:12 Marietta had two little girls that just needed 05:15 their mama home every weekend. 05:17 And so I tried out for choral 05:21 which was the coveted you know, 05:23 the coveted position and I had a real bad cold that day. 05:27 And, so I didn't even go check the list 05:30 when it was put up. 05:32 And so somebody said, I made choral. 05:34 So I went to choral and then after choral was over, 05:37 Lanny said, I'd like to see you in my office 05:40 and I was like, he's made a mistake, 05:43 he's gonna tell me 05:45 I didn't make choral indeed because I was sick that day 05:48 and it's terrible, 05:50 and it was that day he asked me to sing in the Trio. 05:52 And so my mom, 05:54 of course, my mom was really thrilled about that, 05:56 you know, but I spent the next three years 06:01 going places I never dreamed or imagined. 06:03 And while I was on a plane, usually every weekend 06:05 and you know for a little 18-year old girl 06:08 from Wisconsin, that's pretty exciting. 06:11 Sure. 06:12 So it was a great time in my life. 06:15 Absolutely and, of course, 06:16 you had Dave Peterson for many years. 06:19 Maybe eight years. 06:20 Eight years and you kind of filled in also, 06:23 I guess you and he for a bit, 06:26 I don't know if you took turns or who sang first. 06:27 No, when Dave left, he was. 06:30 Even I got out at the same time. 06:32 Oh, okay. 06:34 Yes, Dave and Marietta actually at the same time. 06:36 Dave was working on his solo ministry. 06:38 Right. 06:39 So I had actually two slots. 06:41 And what a great man, 06:44 a great man of God and great friend 06:46 and now resting in Jesus awaiting 06:47 the Second Coming. 06:48 Sure. Amen. 06:50 I mean how amazing is that? 06:51 And so then you, 06:53 what brought you back or what circumstances, 06:55 you know, had you, are you available, 06:58 other words, you know Lanny may say, 07:00 I want you but you've got a family. 07:02 I get to see she and her husband marketing on, 07:05 is it YouTube or Facebook? 07:07 Well, we, yeah we did Facebook. 07:08 We just sit at the piano on Thursday nights 07:11 and we just sang you know, just. 07:12 I love it. Yeah. It's real organic. 07:15 It's just, it's just something we love to do but, 07:19 so Mark and I, my husband Mark and I, 07:21 we travel out a good bit but... 07:24 They both met at JCM. 07:26 Yes. Okay. 07:27 He's still taking note of it. 07:31 You know, Lanny and I are great friends 07:34 and we've been friends for a long time. 07:38 We just, and anytime we get to spend time together 07:41 or just talk or, 07:42 anytime Mark and I can spend time with him 07:44 and so we were just talking on the phone one day and I said, 07:47 you know, this was after Dave had passed away 07:50 and how much Dave had affected my life as a musician. 07:53 He very much affected my life. 07:55 He was such a worshiper and I just said, 07:59 you know, if you need, 08:00 if you need somebody to do some dates with you, 08:04 I will be glad to do it and Mark, 08:06 my husband was fine with that. 08:08 And so, and so you know what was unique was the weekend 08:12 that we came here in March, 08:14 I had never sang with Marietta. 08:16 Oh, wow. We'd never sung together. 08:17 I had never ever, ever sung with Marietta and, 08:20 but it was, it was as if we had always sung together 08:22 because I had always listened to the Trio. 08:25 And I knew her, all of her inflections. 08:28 I knew all of her, I knew everything. 08:31 So and, you know, the music that you listen to as a kid. 08:34 That's somehow you can like not sing one of those songs 08:37 and then bam, 08:38 it just comes up out of you, doesn't it? 08:40 Yes. 08:41 You know what I'm talking about, Yvonne. 08:42 Yeah, I do. I do. 08:44 That's so awesome. 08:45 It's so great to finally meet 08:47 and sing with someone that you listened 08:49 to for so long and then you meet her 08:52 and then you're singing with her. 08:54 Wow, what a blessing. 08:55 It's like the coolest thing for me 08:57 because when she goes into that 08:58 in the midst of his children, I'm like. 09:00 Oh, yeah. 09:02 It's like, you know, it's like I was back. 09:05 I'm listening to my records again. 09:06 And then I'm thinking, wait, I've got a command. 09:08 Yeah. 09:09 That's right. 09:11 Of course, I talk about Melody 09:13 when she was really young listening to you all, 09:15 but somebody had to buy the records. 09:18 Somebody had to pay for them. 09:20 Somebody loved the music also and that was me, 09:23 of course, and so did her mother. 09:24 And so we're so glad that you guys are here. 09:27 I know, you're saying, we want to hear a lot of music. 09:30 So we're going to quit talking for a bit 09:32 and what we're going to do, 09:33 you all gonna get up 09:34 and just give us some praise and worship, 09:37 and whatever the Lord leads you to do, 09:39 and we're gonna sit back and enjoy. 09:41 We want you at home to sit back and pray. 09:44 And while we're doing this while they're singing, 09:47 the Holy Spirit, you know, can do a number of things 09:49 at the same time, isn't that great? 09:51 Oh, yeah. 09:52 Unlike me, it can do a number of things. 09:54 Multitask. 09:55 That's right, it can multitask, 09:57 but I'm sure that there's some of you 09:59 who are watching for the first time, 10:01 and you're tuning in, and it's no accident 10:04 that you're tuning in right now, 10:06 as they are ministering, because I believe that 10:08 God wants to say something to you, 10:10 so it's my hope and prayer that 10:12 wherever you're watching and listening 10:13 from around the world, 10:15 that is they're ministering in song 10:17 that as the Holy Spirit begins to speak to you, 10:20 that you if you're not a Christian, 10:21 you'll accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 10:24 The songs that He's given Lanny 10:26 are songs that lead people to the cross, 10:28 to the foot of the cross. 10:29 And I pray is my prayer and our prayer here 10:32 that each and every one of you, if you're a Christian 10:34 and maybe you've kind of been on the sleep 10:37 for a while if I can say that. 10:38 And maybe all of a sudden you say, 10:40 you know what, I know Jesus is coming soon. 10:43 Lord, I want a brand new touch from you. 10:45 God will give you that today, 10:47 He will honor your request. 10:48 So you sit back and enjoy and when it's over, 10:52 if there's few minutes left, we will come back 10:53 and maybe have a closing prayer with you. 10:55 So right now, be blessed by the Lanny Wolfe Trio. 11:03 Have a nice day with Jesus 11:07 Have a nice day 11:11 Have a nice day with Jesus 11:14 Have a nice day 11:18 You may wish the sun 11:19 Would shine a little bit brighter 11:21 But when you've got the Lord 11:23 He'll make your load a lot lighter 11:26 So have a nice day with Jesus 11:30 Have a nice day 11:34 You can wake up ev'ry mornin' 11:38 With a smile upon your face 11:41 Just to know the Lord Has kept you one more day 11:48 And no matter what the day may bring 11:52 You can face it with the smile 11:55 For the Lord will walk beside you all the way 12:02 Have a nice day with Jesus 12:06 Have a nice day 12:09 Have a nice day with Jesus 12:13 Have a nice day 12:16 You may wish the sun 12:18 Would shine a little bit brighter 12:20 But when you've got the Lord 12:21 He'll make your load a lot lighter 12:25 So have a nice day with Jesus 12:28 Have a nice day 12:32 Anyone can sing when the sun is shinin' 12:35 And ev'rything seems to be alright 12:39 But it's a diff'rent story 12:40 When you're talkin' about a rainy day 12:45 Oh, just let the Lord be your umbrella 12:49 And He'll take you through the storm 12:52 Give the world a smile 12:54 And let them hear you say 12:59 Have a nice day with Jesus 13:03 Have a nice day 13:06 Have a nice day with Jesus 13:10 Have a nice day 13:13 You may wish the sun would shine 13:15 a little bit brighter 13:16 But when you've got the Lord 13:18 He'll make your load a lot lighter 13:21 So have a nice day with Jesus 13:25 Have a nice day 13:37 Sometimes I get so discouraged 13:43 Oh, sometimes I get so blue 13:50 Sometimes I get so downhearted 13:55 That I don't know just what to do 14:01 Then I hear a voice sweetly whisper 14:07 Child, my grace will take you 14:10 All the way that's been a fresh 14:15 Touch of desire 14:19 Gives me strength to make you want more day 14:24 There's a fresh 14:27 Touch of desire 14:30 In my soul today 14:36 There's a fresh touch of desire 14:42 To go all the way 14:47 For I have made up in my mind 14:52 I am gonna make it come what may 14:58 There's a fresh touch of desire 15:04 In my soul today 15:10 Sometimes the journey gets so wearing 15:16 And the mountains so hard to climb 15:22 Sometimes the burdens get so heavy 15:28 Till I wonder if victory shall be mine 15:34 Then a still small voice reminds me 15:39 Dry your tear 15:42 Well, there is soon be gone and that's when a fresh 15:48 Touch of desire 15:51 Gives me courage to keep pressing on 15:57 There's a fresh touch of desire 16:02 In my soul today 16:08 There's a fresh touch of desire 16:13 To go all the way 16:19 For I've made up in my mind 16:24 I'm gonna make it come what may 16:30 There's a fresh touch of desire 16:35 In my soul today 16:45 And there He is. 16:46 Yes, yes.

17:16 I'm gonna make it come what may 17:21 There's a fresh touch of desire 17:26 In my soul today 17:39 Oh sing, sing Marietta. 17:41 They say a picture paints a thousand words 17:47 And if that's true 17:49 I know I could never really say 17:53 What I'd like to say 17:56 Though I painted all my life away 18:02 So I'll choose to say just a simple phrase 18:08 That's been said before in so many ways 18:15 For it best describes 18:18 All that I feel inside It's simply, 18:25 I love you 18:30 I love you I love you 18:34 Lord, I love you 18:39 What more can I say 18:42 But then I really love you 18:48 And I will try to live my life 18:53 So that He says me too 18:58 I love you I love you 19:03 I really love you 19:09 So I've been singing these songs, 19:12 it seems like my whole life. 19:14 The Lanny Wolfe songs, 19:16 they came out when I was a teenager 19:18 and I thought they were incredible, 19:20 and I would sing them from my heart. 19:23 And then when I became 18 years old, 19:26 I began to sing with the Trio 19:28 and it was an incredible experience. 19:32 And I sang them again. 19:35 But now, I'm singing them again 19:37 at this part of my journey. 19:40 And when I sing about loving Jesus, 19:47 it's a whole different thing 19:48 when you've done the journey and when you've crossed 19:52 the mountains and you've crossed the valleys, 19:54 and you've just had God as your only option. 20:00 And I love Him more than ever before. 20:06 I loved You then, I love You now 20:13 But much more now than then 20:17 For in then in-between I found 20:23 You became my dearest friend 20:28 And with each day, You bring my way 20:33 Joy I've never known before 20:38 And all along the way I would have to say 20:44 I lean upon You more and more 20:47 And more than ever before 20:54 Lord, I love You 20:59 More than ever before 21:04 Lord I need You 21:08 More than ever before 21:13 I've got to tell You 21:17 I love You now 21:20 More than ever before 21:28 I love You now 21:32 More than ever before 21:40 Hallelujah. 21:41 Thank you Lord, thank you Jesus. 21:45 The power of love. 21:46 Amen. 21:48 I was watching an award show. 21:49 Don't remember which award show, 21:51 it doesn't matter. 21:53 Don't remember who the guy was who received the award 21:56 and don't remember all the folks he was thanking 21:59 but he had to thank all the industry people, 22:01 had to thank all of his friends and loved ones. 22:04 He finally worked his way around to saying 22:06 and I want to especially thank my children 22:08 but most of all, 22:10 I want to thank my wife 22:13 who captured my heart 38 years ago. 22:16 I turned off the TV at that moment 22:19 and got out a piece of paper and wrote. 22:25 Jesus, You've captured my heart 22:30 Here am I Surrendered completely 22:36 All the days of my life 22:41 Nothing or no one 22:45 Can tear us apart Jesus, 22:50 You have captured 22:54 My heart 22:59 Jesus, You've captured my heart 23:04 Here am I Surrendered completely 23:11 All the days of my life 23:15 Nothing or no one 23:19 Can tear us apart Jesus, 23:24 You have captured 23:29 My heart 23:34 Jesus, You've captured 23:39 My heart 23:48 I'm so glad that I know the Lord today, 23:50 and I'm so glad that God has given us another day. 23:54 It just feels good to be here at 3ABN again. 23:57 It feels good just to know that we've been redeemed. 24:05 I feel good I feel good 24:10 Just to know I've been redeemed Makes me feel good 24:14 Oh, I feel good I feel good 24:19 Just to know I've been redeemed Makes me feel good 24:24 Oh, how well do I remember 24:27 All the days I spent in sin 24:29 With no thought of doing all the things 24:32 I should But then the Blessed Savior found me 24:36 And He gently took me in 24:39 Makes me want to shout Hallelujah

we're gonna get to Southern gospel. 26:54 Jesus be 26:58 The Lord of all 27:01 Jesus be the Lord of all 27:13 The kingdoms of 27:16 My heart 27:20 In my heart are kingdoms 27:25 Of a world that's all 27:28 My own, Kingdoms 27:33 That are only seen By myself 27:38 And God alone 27:43 In the past when I tried to rule my world 27:49 It just seemed to fall apart 27:54 So, please Jesus 27:58 Be the Lord Of all 28:04 The kingdoms of 28:07 My heart 28:11 Jesus, I surrender all 28:32 The kingdoms of my heart 28:38 For if You're not Lord of everything 28:44 Then You're not Lord 28:50 At all 28:59 My son Rob and I 29:01 co-wrote this chorus that we're going to sing. 29:04 It simply says, where I longed to be. 29:08 And we like to take our heart different places, 29:11 but wherever Jesus is, is where I longed to be. 29:14 It simply goes like this. 29:17 In Your presence, Lord 29:22 That's where I long to be 29:27 In Your presence, 29:30 Lord 29:34 You set my spirit free 29:40 I feel so close

my burdens get me down 31:05 And I wonder if I'll make it 31:08 through the day 31:12 I just speak the name of Jesus 31:15 And He turns everything around 31:20 And heaven comes to earth 31:23 And makes a way 31:28 I feel heaven in this place 31:36 I feel heaven all around me 31:41 In this place 31:44 I feel heaven in this place 31:52 I feel heaven all around me 31:56 In this place 32:01 There's forgiveness for life's failures 32:05 If you ask you can receive 32:09 For in His presence 32:10 Fear and doubt, all disappear 32:16 It matters not just what the need is 32:20 If you ask, you will receive 32:25 So reach out and touch the Lord 32:30 For He is here 32:35 He's here. 32:38 He's there. 32:40 We are taking His message 32:43 to whoever will choose to watch or listen 32:49 to this telecast today. 32:52 But you have to be the one who asked Him to do it. 32:57 Whatever you need, it doesn't matter 32:59 if it's forgiveness, 33:00 you feel like you can't be forgiven, 33:02 you've been too bad. 33:03 He can forgive the worst of sinners. 33:07 It doesn't matter what the need is, 33:09 but if you just ask, ask and you shall receive. 33:13 And so, while we're singing this again, 33:15 I'd like for you right there in your room, 33:18 in your home, in your car, wherever you are, 33:21 reach out and say, Lord, I need you. 33:24 I don't know anybody who doesn't need Him. 33:26 We need, we all need something 33:28 because we can't live without Him, 33:30 that's what we've been singing about 33:31 all these songs of love to Jesus 33:34 and how much He loves us, 33:36 and so this is where you reach out. 33:40 You say, Jesus, I need healing. 33:43 I need deliverance. 33:45 I need comfort. 33:47 I need someone to talk to. 33:49 He'll be everything you need. 33:52 So I feel the healing in this place 33:57 I feel healing in this place 34:02 I feel healing all around me 34:07 In this place 34:11 Oh, I feel Jesus in this place 34:15 Jesus is with us I feel Jesus in this place 34:20 I feel Jesus all around us 34:25 in this place 34:29 Surely the presence of the Lord 34:35 Is in this place 34:38 I can feel His mighty power 34:42 And His grace 34:47 I can hear the brush of angels' wings 34:52 I see glory on each face 34:58 Surely the presence of the Lord 35:03 Is in this place 35:07 Surely the presence of the Lord 35:12 Is in this place 35:14 I can feel His mighty power 35:18 and His grace 35:23 I can hear the brush of angels' wings 35:27 I see glory on each face 35:32 Surely the presence of the Lord 35:38 Is in this place 36:04 Their little boat was tossed about 36:10 Upon the stormy sea 36:15 The disciples woke the Master 36:19 Crying Lord, save us please 36:24 Then Jesus spoke with authority 36:29 He commanded peace be still 36:34 And instantly every wind and wave 36:39 Obeyed the master's will 36:46 So many times, I am tossed about 36:51 Upon live stormy seas 36:56 And though the winds of trouble blow 37:00 My Savior pilots me, 37:04 I know Peace be still 37:08 Guides my little boat 37:10 I'll not fear the winds or waves 37:15 For he who can be saved this far 37:20 Will guide me all the way 37:26 There is peace 37:31 In Jesus 37:34 In the troubled world today 37:39 There is peace in Jesus 37:45 And the world can't take it away 37:50 And though there's turmoil all around 37:55 I'm so glad I've found 38:01 There is peace in Jesus 38:06 In a troubled world today 38:10 There is peace 38:14 In Jesus 38:16 In a troubled world today 38:21 There is peace in Jesus 38:26 And the world can't take it away 38:31 And though there's turmoil all around 38:36 I'm so glad I have found 38:41 There is peace 38:44 In Jesus 38:46 In a troubled world today 39:00 We live in a troubled world today. 39:04 And we are living in a time 39:06 that we've been reading in the Bible about 39:09 as long as we have been reading the Bible 39:11 and if you've read it through, 39:12 you know that things happen at the end 39:15 that we are hopeful for, 39:17 we're looking forward to. 39:19 But there's going to be a part of this world 39:22 that will not be enjoying this time 39:24 because they're fearful. 39:27 They are afraid, they don't know. 39:29 They're not used to being so unsteady 39:32 and being bombarded with negative things. 39:35 They don't know what to believe. 39:38 I just want to encourage you today, 39:40 get into the Word of God, read His Word, 39:44 and you will get strength for any kind of day that comes. 39:47 There are gonna be dark days. 39:49 There will be trials. 39:50 Even the children of God, we don't have all perfect days, 39:54 but we have Jesus and He's all perfect 39:57 and He makes the things that look rough 40:00 just smooth out like He did on that stormy sea, 40:04 when he said peace be still. 40:07 He's saying, peace be still. 40:09 And there's a song that we did sing, 40:10 it says, Lord, you know I need a brand new touch. 40:14 I feel that so many times, even though I know Him, 40:18 I get to rejoice in all these songs 40:20 of about how much He loved me and I know 40:23 all these wonderful things about the Lord, 40:25 but if you don't know this, 40:26 if it sounds foreign, what are they talking about? 40:29 Joy and peace, how can they just sit by? 40:33 We're not sitting by, we're getting ready. 40:36 Lord is coming soon. 40:38 And as I was thinking about the singing today, 40:42 I was thinking about this beautiful sets 40:44 that they have here at 3ABN 40:46 and you need to get a set setup in your life, 40:52 where you're getting ready 40:54 for a change in the performance. 40:57 We're not, we're not just performing, 41:00 we're living real life, but you can live real life 41:03 and have joy and peace abundantly. 41:07 And so, start setting your home 41:10 in your heart up for visit from the King of kings. 41:15 Get ready for peacefulness. 41:17 Have beautiful paintings hanging around 41:22 and listen to the words of songs like these 41:25 and start picking up your positivity in your heart. 41:31 Because we're getting ready to rejoice 41:33 forever and forever after Jesus comes. 41:36 So I love to say... 41:38 Lord, You know I need a brand new touch 41:44 My strength from yesterday 41:47 Is gone 41:52 But if You'll give me, Lord, another touch 41:59 I'll have the strength to carry on 42:06 Lord, You know how weak I really am 42:13 Even better than myself 42:20 But with Your help I know I really can 42:27 Make it through the darkest night 42:30 Ev'rything's gonna be all right 42:38 Lord, You know 42:40 I need a brand new touch 42:42 Brand new touch 42:45 My strength from yesterday 42:47 Is gone 42:52 But if You'll give me, Lord, another touch 42:58 I'll have the strength to carry on 43:03 If You'll touch me, Lord 43:06 I'll have the strength to carry on 43:10 Won't You touch me, Lord 43:13 Give me the strength to carry on 43:24 Well, if I knew I had to have surgery 43:28 that was life threatening 43:32 and if I could afford it, 43:33 I'd buy the best surgeon in the world. 43:37 I had to go to China or Japan, or wherever I had to go, 43:41 I'd want the best hands working on this heart. 43:46 I live in Houston. 43:48 We have a lot of great doctors in Houston, 43:50 a lot of great hospitals in Houston. 43:52 And so if I ever needed that kind of surgery, 43:55 I would Google, 43:57 I want the best heart surgeon in the world. 44:02 Now maybe I couldn't afford it. 44:03 Maybe my hospitalization plan couldn't afford it. 44:07 So God gave me a song which simply says, 44:09 we believe in prayer, the power of prayer, 44:12 that prayer changes things. 44:15 So prayer can do something 44:17 that not even the best surgeon sometimes can do 44:21 because we serve a miracle working God. 44:24 And so God can give you a new heart. 44:28 So this song simply says, You're in our prayers 44:30 because God has told us that there's power in prayer. 44:35 And so when you're in need, it's so comforting to know 44:39 that the body of Christ 44:41 is going to hold you in their prayers, 44:43 but much better than being in their prayers, 44:46 you're in God's hands. 44:49 You're in the hands that formed the galaxies, 44:53 and the universe, and the world. 44:55 You're in the hands that took clay and made you. 44:58 You're in those hands. 45:01 So this song simply says you're in our prayers, 45:03 but best of all, 45:06 best of all, 45:08 you're in God's hands. 45:17 You're in a place 45:20 You've never found yourself before 45:25 And you're not sure 45:29 Just what tomorrow has in store 45:34 But where two or three are gathered 45:37 God has promised to be there 45:42 So now with faith believing 45:46 We lift your name in prayer 45:51 You're in our prayers 45:58 We touch the throne of grace for You 46:03 Your Father cares 46:07 He's promised He would see you through 46:12 You can be sure the great I am 46:17 Will make a way, just trust His plan 46:21 You're in our prayers, 46:24 But best of all, you're in God's hands 46:32 Sometimes you feel your falling tears 46:39 Are cried in vain 46:41 But God counts them all 46:46 And with compassion, He feels your pain 46:51 Acquainted with grief and sorrow 46:55 The Lord knows how much you can bear 47:00 He's laid you on our heart so now 47:04 We lift you up in prayer 47:09 You're in our prayers 47:16 We've touched the throne of grace for you 47:21 Your Father cares 47:27 He's promised he would see you through 47:31 You can be sure the great I am will make a way 47:39 Just trust His plan 47:41 You're in our prayers 47:44 But best of all, you're in God's hands. 47:52 And today you may find yourself in a situation 47:55 that you've never found yourself before. 47:58 You may feel like your back is up against the wall, 48:01 you may be destitute. 48:03 Maybe the doctors have given you a report 48:05 that simply says, "We're sorry. 48:08 We can only do what we can do. 48:10 And we can only promise you this much more time." 48:15 Maybe you have a situation in your family, 48:18 maybe relationships are broken. 48:20 And you don't know what to do. 48:22 Maybe you've got a son or daughter, 48:23 a teenager that has lost their way 48:26 and you've prayed and you prayed, 48:28 and you just wonder if it's ever gonna happen. 48:31 My father, he was an alcoholic, 48:33 and we prayed for him so many years, 48:36 and we just wonder God, would it ever happen? 48:39 God, will my father ever be saved? 48:41 And we wondered if all the tears were in vain. 48:44 But you know, after 16 years, 48:47 God brought my father down to an altar, 48:50 and my father got saved. 48:51 Hallelujah. 48:53 I'm telling you, we serve a powerful God, 48:56 we serve a mighty God and so today, 48:58 whatever you are facing, however dire the situation is, 49:03 I'm here to tell you 49:05 that God is bigger than your situation 49:08 and God is more powerful 49:10 than whatever is working against you, 49:13 or your family, or your situation. 49:16 So, Marietta, I want you to sing 49:17 that verse one more time, 49:18 and while she sings this, 49:20 I'd like for you to just reach out. 49:22 Maybe you want to raise your hand, 49:24 if you can towards the heavens. 49:27 Maybe you want to, like, just join us 49:30 and the Bible says, "Where two or three are gathered, 49:33 you could ask anything." 49:35 And so today, we're going to ask 49:36 that God is going to reach out 49:38 through the medium of television 49:41 and this 3ABN ministry, 49:43 and touch you and change your situation 49:45 whatever it is. 49:47 God is powerful and God wants to change it all. 49:50 Marietta, sing. 49:52 Sometimes you feel 49:55 Your falling tears are cried in vain 50:00 But God counts them all Yes, He does. 50:04 And with compassion, 50:07 feels your pain 50:10 Acquainted with grief and sorrow 50:14 The Lord knows how much you can bear 50:18 He's laid you on our heart so now 50:23 We lift you up in prayer 50:28 You're in our prayers 50:34 We've touched the throne of grace for you 50:38 Your Father cares 50:43 He's promised He would see you through 50:47 You can be sure the great I am will make a way 50:54 Just trust His plan 50:57 You're in our prayers 51:00 But best of all, you're in God's hands 51:09 You're in our prayers 51:14 But best of all, you're in God's hands 51:25 Thank you, Jesus. 51:29 Thank you. 51:33 Amen. Praise the Lord. 51:35 Amen. Amen. 51:36 You know, it's so great to be able to worship with them 51:40 because that's what it's about. 51:42 It's not just about singing. 51:43 It's about worshiping the Lord 51:45 through the gifts that He's given us. 51:47 So what a blessing that is. 51:48 I love Lori's voice 51:50 but I love as much how she worships the Lord in singing. 51:54 Yes, yes. 51:55 Very happy, and I'm sure that she like the rest of us 51:58 has some cares on this earth. 52:00 But they all go out the window when she sing and you can tell 52:02 she is concentrating on the Lord, Jesus Christ. 52:04 That's right, got a connection. 52:06 Absolutely. 52:07 And we want to thank you all so much for being here. 52:10 Now, are you still available to travel? 52:12 Are you traveling much and... 52:14 Available to travel, yes. Okay. 52:16 We love to share what God's given us 52:19 with churches and concerts and so, 52:21 if a church would like to host the Lanny Wolfe Trio, 52:26 they can contact our office Paradigm Music Productions 52:29 for all the details. 52:31 It's amazing to me that the God can use, 52:34 you know, each of us but can use you to the extent 52:39 that He has that your music literally is reaching people 52:41 around the world being sung in, 52:44 in literally languages we probably, hardly heard of 52:47 in some of the countries around the world. 52:49 But I know I've been in places and I've heard it in Russia 52:52 and it's amazing. 52:53 And you must feel humbled 52:55 that God has been willing to use you, 52:57 but we also understand 52:58 you have to be willing to be used. 53:02 It's a joy to know 53:04 that God passes something through your writing pen 53:08 that is anointed, 53:11 because the anointing is what God does 53:13 that I can't do. 53:15 Yeah. 53:16 And so when God passes something 53:17 through my writing pen, 53:19 with his anointing that connects, 53:23 touches the hearts of people. 53:26 It's so humbling and gratifying 53:30 to know that God uses us. 53:33 I thought I was going to be an architect 53:35 when I started out, build buildings, 53:37 but it's been so much more gratifying 53:40 and rewarding to know 53:41 that I've been able to build young people 53:45 to become songwriters, ministers of music, 53:47 and that I've been able to build songs 53:51 that would minister to people all over the world is exciting. 53:53 Amen. Amen. 53:54 What we want to do, we want to have a prayer 53:56 because at the beginning of the program 53:58 we ask people to really, 54:00 we felt like God wants to do something in all of our lives. 54:02 Yes, amen. 54:03 And I know some of you watching didn't intend to, 54:06 but you got caught up in it. 54:07 That's the Holy Spirit. 54:08 And so I'm going to ask Yvonne to say a special prayer 54:10 for each of our viewers, would you? 54:12 Sure. 54:14 Father, we just thank You so very much 54:16 that You've allowed us to come together today 54:19 to hear this beautiful music and to worship You, 54:23 for You're so worthy of worship. 54:25 Yes 54:26 And there are people watching who might not know You. 54:30 But Lord, to know You is to love You. 54:32 You're so good. You're so gracious to us. 54:36 And so I pray that today will be the open door 54:39 for those who have not known You 54:42 to get to know You, and then for those who do, 54:45 to recommit their lives to You, Lord. 54:47 Help us all to get closer to you, 54:50 so that when You come, Lord Jesus, 54:52 we will be ready to meet You in the air. 54:55 We pray in Jesus' name, amen. 54:57 Amen. 54:58 What I'd like to do 54:59 is we're just going to take a few seconds 55:01 normally longer but you can always contact us here. 55:04 I'd like to put up Lanny's address 55:05 for maybe 15 or 20 seconds, but look how quick they are. 55:08 Oh, they are on, they're already are. 55:10 Paradigm Music Productions, PO Box 1957, 55:13 Sugar Land, Texas, 77478-1957. 55:17 There's a phone number. 55:18 And also, 55:20 if you didn't get time to get this down, 55:21 just give us a call and we'll give you the address. 55:24 Well, I hate to say this. 55:26 Thank you again so much. 55:27 But I hate to say this for those of you at home, 55:28 our time is all gone. 55:30 Till we see you next time, may the Lord richly bless you 55:32 abundantly more than you could ever ask or think. |
