00:01 Welcome to Your Favorites By Request with me, Tim Parton.
00:04 You've sent me your favorite songs, 00:06 and I'm ready to play while you sing along. 00:10 And if you don't remember all the words, don't worry. 00:13 They're on the screen. 00:14 And now Your Favorites By Request. 00:17 Your Favorites By Request 00:20 La la la, la la la 00:27 For centuries, people have sung good old gospel songs 00:29 and hymns to help secure the ancient Bible truths 00:32 to our minds and our hearts. 00:34 Learning these songs can be a useful way 00:36 to help us remember where God brought us from 00:38 and what He's brought us through. 00:39 It's likely that you can relate a song 00:41 to a situation you've been in, 00:43 and that's why you have favorite songs, 00:45 and you send them as a request. 00:47 This week, I received requests from Wisconsin to Maryland 00:50 and South to the peach state of Georgia. 00:53 In fact, speaking of Georgia, 00:54 Marilyn from Georgia requested a song of reminiscence 00:58 that is itself full of familiar songs. 01:01 And you'll probably be familiar with many of them 01:03 that maybe you sang at the church where you went. 01:06 Sing along if you know them. 01:12 Oh! 01:14 I'd like to go back to that old country church 01:18 And to hear the songs of praise 01:23 And the people would sing 01:25 It would make the rafters ring 01:28 At that old country church 01:32 They'd sing shall we gather at the river 01:38 The beautiful, the beautiful river 01:43 Gather with the saints at the river 01:47 That flows by the throne of God 01:52 Oh, I'll never forget 01:55 At that old country church 01:57 How the glory of the Lord came down 02:02 And the children would smile 02:04 As they shouted down the aisle 02:07 Of that old country church 02:11 Where they'd sing leaning, leaning 02:17 Safe and secure from all alarms 02:22 Leaning, I'm leaning 02:27 Leaning on the everlasting arms 02:32 How the years have gone by 02:35 And so many have died 02:37 At that old country church 02:42 But we'll meet on that shore 02:45 Where we'll sing forevermore 02:47 As they did at that old country church 02:52 I'm redeemed by love divine 02:57 Glory, glory 03:00 Christ is mine 03:02 All to Him 03:04 I now resign I have been 03:08 I have been redeemed 03:12 I'm redeemed by love divine 03:17 Glory, glory 03:20 Christ is mine 03:22 All to Him 03:24 I now resign 03:28 I have been redeemed 03:38 Those are some great songs, 03:39 and the song that remind me actually of camp meeting 03:42 when I was a kid. 03:44 I received a request from Daryl in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, 03:47 who sent in this request in memory of his grandmother 03:50 who became a Christian 03:51 in an old-fashioned tent meeting. 03:53 She lived to be one hundred four and a half. 03:56 This was one of her favorite songs. 03:57 You'll know this one, In the Sweet By and By. 04:05 There's a land that is fairer than day 04:10 And by faith, we can see it afar 04:15 For the Father waits over the way 04:20 To prepare us a dwelling place there 04:25 In the sweet by and by 04:30 We shall meet on that beautiful shore 04:35 In the sweet by and by 04:40 We shall meet on that beautiful shore 04:45 We shall sing on that beautiful shore 04:51 The melodious songs of the blest 04:56 And our spirits shall sorrow no more 05:01 Not a sigh for the blessing of rest 05:05 Sing that chorus. 05:26 To our bountiful Father above 05:31 We will offer our tribute of praise 05:37 For the glorious gift of His love 05:42 And the blessings that hallow our days 05:47 In the sweet by and by 05:52 We shall meet on that beautiful shore 05:57 In the sweet by and by 06:03 We shall meet on that beautiful shore 06:08 We shall meet on that beautiful shore 06:34 That's a precious song. 06:36 Now from that song which was written in the 1860s, 06:40 here's a request from the1970s 06:43 by a wonderful songwriter Andrae Crouch, 06:46 Soon and Very Soon. 06:55 Soon and very soon 06:58 We are going to see the King 07:02 Soon and very soon 07:04 We are going to see the King 07:08 Soon and very soon 07:11 We are going to see the King 07:15 Hallelujah, hallelujah 07:18 We're going to see the king 07:21 No more crying. 07:23 Oh, no more crying there 07:26 We are going to see the King 07:29 There'll be no more dying there 07:32 We are going to see the King 07:36 There'll be no more sadness there 07:39 We are going to see the King 07:42 Hallelujah, hallelujah 07:46 We're going to see the King 07:51 Should there be any rivers we must cross 07:57 Should there be any mountains we must climb 08:04 Our God will supply all the strength that we need 08:10 Give us grace 'til we reach the other side 08:17 Soon and very soon 08:19 We are going to see the King 08:23 Soon and very soon 08:26 We are going to see the King 08:29 Soon and very soon 08:32 We are going to see the King 08:35 Hallelujah, hallelujah 08:39 We're going to see the king 08:42 Hallelujah, hallelujah 08:45 We're going to see the king 08:52 Ain't that good news 08:57 Soon and very soon. |
