01:09 Hello, and welcome to another 3ABN Today program.
01:12 Thank you for joining us as you do each and every day
01:15 and thank you for your love and your prayers
01:17 and financial support.
01:18 I don't know what we would do without it, do you?
01:20 Oh, we couldn't even be here without it.
01:22 I have my lovely co-host today.
01:24 And I should have you
01:25 sitting here 'cause it's really.
01:26 No, no, no. No?
01:28 No, you're in the right place. Another time.
01:29 Miss Yvonne, so thank you for being here today.
01:31 That's great.
01:32 We have a special program today.
01:34 We do, we have...
01:36 They're part of our family.
01:37 Yeah, family members.
01:39 We have Lanny Wolfe Trio with us.
01:41 So I can hear you, some of you going,
01:42 oh, great.
01:44 Praise the Lord.
01:45 I can hear the folks at home already, can't you?
01:47 Yes, indeed.
01:48 So somehow Mr. Lanny and Marietta and Lori
01:51 since that last program,
01:52 you all have just gotten into the hearts
01:54 of so many of the 3ABN viewers
01:56 and they just love what you do and how you do it.
01:59 And there, we have something in common
02:01 with all the folks that are watching at home.
02:03 And that's Jesus. Amen.
02:05 We can come from different backgrounds
02:07 where there's different churches,
02:08 different denominations.
02:10 Right.
02:11 But we have that thread that runs through everybody,
02:13 the most important one and all
02:14 and that's Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
02:16 Yes.
02:17 And what an honor it is to have
02:19 the Lanny Wolfe Trio here today.
02:21 And, of course, we have Mr. Lanny Wolfe
02:23 and it's normally you do women first,
02:27 but you say, in this case, you do the best for last.
02:30 So... Oh.
02:31 Just changing, all right,
02:32 don't get uptight at home, I am just kidding.
02:34 Again.
02:35 We love each other, don't get uptight.
02:36 Sometimes, Lori,
02:38 people will write me and they'll say,
02:39 "You shouldn't talk like that to your viewers."
02:41 Sometimes they don't know if I'm kidding and maybe
02:42 I've to watch my mouth a little bit.
02:44 Maybe you aren't.
02:45 I love Lanny. Of course, I do.
02:47 Sitting next to Lanny is Marietta.
02:49 Marietta, you're no stranger to 3ABN,
02:51 you've been coming the past few years.
02:52 I love 3ABN.
02:55 Oh, we love you.
02:56 I mean you're amazing woman of God
02:59 and we love you, respect you.
03:01 And every time you're here, I always feel,
03:03 I like to be around her
03:04 because I feel the presence of the Lord, don't you?
03:06 Yes, oh yeah.
03:07 You just can tell Marietta has a connection.
03:10 Oh, she does. She has that connection.
03:12 And I never can think of her
03:14 without thinking my own daughter
03:16 Melody who looks at her as another mom,
03:18 you know, because growing up Melody,
03:21 you were, the Lanny Wolfe Trio was on day and night,
03:24 Lori at our house.
03:26 I mean, any time they were on,
03:27 and of course, yours too.
03:30 We'll talk about that in a minute.
03:32 But Melody just loved your singing and loved you
03:34 once she got to meet you a few years ago.
03:36 And so thank you for being here
03:39 and for what you do for the cause of God.
03:41 And then we have Lori Carouthers
03:42 and, Lori, we're so glad you're here.
03:44 Thank you. And you hail all the way from?
03:47 Frisco, Texas.
03:48 Frisco, Texas. Yay!
03:50 Oh, Yvonne, now why are you yaying for?
03:52 Because I lived in Dallas.
03:54 Dallas.
03:55 Frisco is one of those suburbs.
03:57 You can't help but you love it.
03:58 I know, I know and I wanna
04:00 just shout out to my Dallas friends.
04:03 Frisco people.
04:04 We finally brought her to God's country.
04:07 Out here in the quiet
04:08 and the peaceful Southern Illinois.
04:10 Yes, that's true.
04:11 But any place is good where God is, right?
04:13 That's right. 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. That felt so good.
16:48 Let's do it again.
16:49 There's a fresh touch of desire
16:54 In my soul today
17:00 There's a fresh touch of desire
17:05 To go all the way
17:11 For I've made up in my mind
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

24:27 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

26:03 Makes me want to shout Hallelujah
26:06 I feel good Oh, I feel good
26:11 I feel good
26:14 Just to know I've been redeemed Makes me feel good
26:17 Hallelujah, I feel good I feel good
26:23 Just to know I've been redeemed Makes me feel good
26:37 I feel good
26:50 That's as close as 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 to heaven
29:45 When I feel You close to me
29:51 In Your presence, Lord
29:57 That's where I long to be
30:02 In Your presence, Lord
30:09 That's where I long to be
30:13 In Your presence, Lord
30:20 You set my spirit free
30:26 I feel so close to heaven
30:31 When I feel You close to me
30:37 In Your presence, Lord
30:44 That's where I long to be
30:56 When the cares of life press heavy
31:01 And 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.
