00:01 Hi and welcome back.
00:02 Through the years, I've come across 00:04 several musicians that have inspired me 00:05 and encouraged me to be better. 00:07 And I have a friend on the line that is just one of those guys. 00:11 His name is Josh Singletary. 00:12 He plays the piano. 00:14 A wonderful, creative musician, 00:16 and I want to talk to him about what music means to him. 00:18 So let's go see. 00:19 Josh, are you there? 00:21 I am here. 00:22 Hi, how are you, Tim? 00:23 It's great to see you. I'm doing wonderful. 00:25 How are you doing today? You see, I'm doing well. 00:27 Those are very kind words you said. 00:28 Well, good. Thank you so much. 00:30 Good. I want to talk to you. 00:31 In fact, about how... 00:33 What does music mean to you? 00:35 Oh, man, you know what? 00:37 I have grown to learn 00:39 that sometimes there is no better way 00:42 to get a message across. 00:43 Now that does not null in fact speaking 00:47 or any messages that are given by spoken word, 00:51 but there's sometimes there is no better way 00:53 to get a message across than through a song. 00:56 And I feel such great responsibility 00:59 when it comes to music in my life 01:01 to be sure that that actually happens. 01:02 Right. 01:03 And in fact, you have that ability 01:05 and that opportunity, the platform, 01:07 because you travel with a quartet, 01:09 southern gospel quartet called Tribute Quartet. 01:11 Absolutely, yeah, I do. 01:12 You sing baritone, you play the piano, 01:15 so music is literally a part of your life. 01:18 It puts food on your table. 01:20 Boy, it does. Yes. It's true. 01:21 So that's awesome. 01:23 And have you been playing piano? 01:25 Playing professionally for 16 years, 01:28 but playing piano all together, 01:29 I've been playing since I was five, so 32 years. 01:32 Awesome. That's great. 01:34 So it is really part of you. 01:36 And if you're like me, I would be lost without music, 01:39 and you're right, it conveys the message sometimes 01:42 when nothing else will get across. 01:43 Absolutely. 01:45 So I want to know also about 01:47 what you're doing currently other than... 01:49 Are you doing anything besides music in the quartet? 01:54 Well, I'm doing a little bit of producing. 01:56 I've been doing a little bit with Daywind Records, 02:00 our record company and doing some producing there 02:02 as well as I have a brand new piano CD out. 02:08 Right. 02:10 That is new. That is new. 02:11 Great. 02:13 So, yeah, very excited. 02:14 Well, where can people find you? 02:16 They can find me at tributequartet.com. 02:18 They can also find me on Facebook, 02:21 Josh Singletary Music or Tribute Quartet. 02:24 Anything... 02:25 Anything can be found at tributequartet.com. 02:28 Tributequartet.com. 02:29 All right. Well, great. 02:31 Well, I'm going to interview you 02:32 at some length later on, but right now, 02:35 I just want to grab a quick song, 02:36 something maybe a favorite, something you grew up singing, 02:39 or that you have heard that always brings a bell to you. 02:42 Oh, yeah. 02:43 Let's do... Let's do... 02:45 I love the song I Stand Amazed in the Presence. 02:48 Oh, yeah, that's a great one. 02:50 How wonderful. Yes. 02:52 I love that one. 02:53 Well, I know you sing baritone, 02:55 so I think we'll put it down in the key of F, all right? 03:04 I stand amazed in the presence 03:08 Of Jesus the Nazarene 03:12 And wonder how He could love me 03:17 A sinner, condemned, unclean 03:21 Oh, yes. 03:22 How marvelous! 03:24 How wonderful! 03:27 And my song shall ever be 03:31 How marvelous! 03:34 How wonderful! 03:36 Is my Savior's love for me! 03:42 He took my sins and my sorrows 03:46 He made them His very own 03:51 He bore the burden to Calvary 03:55 And suffered and died alone 04:00 When with the ransomed in glory 04:05 His face I at last shall see 04:09 'Twill be my joy through the ages 04:14 To sing of His love for me 04:19 I'll sing How marvelous! 04:22 How wonderful! 04:24 And my song shall ever be 04:29 How marvelous! 04:31 How wonderful! 04:33 Is my Savior's love for me! 04:43 Oh, yes. 04:44 Oh, wonderful. 04:46 Josh, thank you very much. 04:47 It's great to see you. God bless you. 04:49 It's good to see you too, my friend. 04:51 God bless you as well. 04:53 I received a precious email with nine requests 04:56 from Nancy in Hartland, Wisconsin, 04:58 telling of a life of struggles and eventual victory in Christ. 05:02 Here's a great John W. Peterson tune 05:05 from the 40s that Nancy requested. 05:07 It Took a Miracle. 05:16 My Father is omnipotent 05:20 And that you can't deny 05:24 A God of might and miracles 05:28 'Tis written in the sky 05:34 It took a miracle 05:40 To put the stars in place 05:44 It took a miracle 05:47 To hang the world in space 05:51 But when He saved my soul 05:57 Cleansed and made me whole 06:02 It took a miracle 06:05 Of love and grace 06:32 Sing this verse with me. 06:34 The Bible tells us of His power 06:39 And wisdom all way through 06:43 And every little bird and flower 06:47 Are testimonies too 06:54 Though here 06:55 His glory has been shown 06:58 We still can't fully see 07:02 The wonders of His might 07:05 His throne, will take eternity 07:13 It took a miracle 07:18 To put the stars in place 07:22 It took a miracle 07:26 To hang the world in space 07:30 But when He saved my soul 07:35 Cleansed and made me whole 07:41 It took a miracle 07:45 Of love and grace 07:57 I just want to sing that chorus one more time. 08:01 Let's sing it together. 08:04 It took a miracle 08:09 To put the stars in place 08:12 It took a miracle 08:16 To hang the world in space 08:20 But when He saved my soul 08:25 Cleansed and made me whole 08:31 It took a miracle 08:34 Of love and grace 08:47 What a beautiful, beautiful song. 08:50 In John 13:34 and 35, Jesus said, 08:55 "A new commandment I give you, 08:57 that you love one another as I have loved you, 09:00 that you also love one another. 09:02 By this, all will know that you are My disciples 09:04 if you have love one for another." 09:07 This song goes out to Shirley 09:09 and serves as a great reminder of our common bond in Christ. 09:13 They Will Know We are Christians by Our Love. 09:27 We are one in the Spirit 09:30 We are one in the Lord 09:33 We are one in the Spirit 09:36 We are one in the Lord 09:39 And we pray that our unity 09:42 May one day be restored 09:45 And they'll know we are Christians 09:48 By our love, by our love 09:51 They will know we are Christians 09:54 By our love 10:00 We will work with each other 10:03 We will work side by side 10:06 We will work with each other 10:09 We will work side by side 10:12 And we'll guard each one's dignity 10:15 And save each one's pride 10:18 And they'll know we are Christians 10:21 By our love, by our love 10:24 They will know we are Christians 10:27 By our love 11:13 I don't play many songs in the minor key, 11:15 so that was an interesting song, 11:17 but a great song, great message. 11:19 And here's another great message. 11:21 It's actually a prayer in a song, Jesus use Me. 11:33 Dear Lord, I'll be a witness 11:37 If You will help my weakness 11:41 I know that I'm not worthy 11:45 Lord, of You 11:50 By eyes of faith I see Thee 11:54 Upon the cross of Cal-v'ry 11:59 Dear Lord, I cry 12:01 Let me Thy servant be 12:07 O, Jesus, use me 12:12 O Lord, don't refuse me 12:16 Surely there's a work 12:19 That I can do 12:24 And even tho' it's humble 12:28 Lord, help my will to crumble 12:33 Tho' the cost be great 12:36 I'll work for You 12:41 He's the Lily of the valley 12:46 The Bright and Morning Star 12:49 He's the Fairest of ten thousand 12:54 To my soul 12:58 The beautiful Rose of Sharon 13:02 He's all the world to me 13:07 But best of all 13:09 He is my coming King 13:16 So Jesus, use me 13:20 O Lord, don't refuse me 13:25 Surely there's a work that I can do 13:33 And even tho' it's humble 13:37 Lord, help my will to crumble 13:42 Tho' the cost be great 13:45 I'll work for You 13:51 Tho' the cost be great 13:54 I'll work for You 14:01 That's a sweet prayer song. 14:03 And I'm going to grab the hymnal over here. 14:05 Many of you asked about these hymnals, 14:07 and this one is the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal. 14:10 I have a different selection over here, 14:13 but we're going to open this book and see, 14:15 just grab one song. 14:18 This one here, For the Beauty of the Earth. 14:21 Let's see if I know this one. 14:22 And if you know it, sing along. 14:58 Sing with me for the joy of human love. 15:01 For the joy of human love 15:06 Brother, sister, parent, child 15:10 Friends on earth and friends above 15:15 For all gentle thoughts and mild 15:20 Lord of all, to Thee we raise 15:25 This our hymn of grateful praise 15:32 Sing for the gift. 16:03 This is good. 16:04 I sing praises to Your Name 16:08 Oh Lord Praises to Your Name 16:13 Oh Lord For Your Name is great 16:19 And greatly to be praised 16:25 I sing praises to Your Name 16:29 Oh Lord Praises to Your Name 16:34 Oh Lord For Your Name is great 16:40 And greatly 16:42 To be praised 17:00 That's the thing I love about music. 17:02 It speaks to us, and it worships the Lord. 17:05 And I encourage you 17:06 as you're going through your days, 17:08 life gets hard and frustrating, 17:11 but there's always time for a song. 17:13 And I encourage you to send me your request. 17:16 I love to hear from you, and I love to play these songs. 17:19 Hope you are enjoying this program as well. 17:22 And let's sing this last song, 17:23 and I love it as well as you do. 17:28 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus 17:32 Sweetest name I know 17:36 Fills my every longing 17:40 Keeps me singing as I go 17:42 Oh, one more time 17:44 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus 17:48 Sweetest name I know 17:52 Fills my every longing 17:56 Keeps me singing as I go 18:10 Send me a song
