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 00:07 while you sing along. 00:10 And if you don't remember all the words, 00:12 don't worry 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 00:25 There's an old Arlen and Mercer tune 00:27 that goes like this. 00:29 You've got to accentuate the positive 00:33 Eliminate the negative 00:36 Latch on to the affirmative 00:39 Don't mess with Mister In-Between 00:42 You've got to spread joy up to the maximum 00:46 Bring gloom down to the minimum 00:49 And have faith or pandemonium 00:52 Liable to walk upon the scene 00:54 To illustrate my last remark Jonah in the whale, 00:59 Noah in the ark What did they do 01:02 Just when everything looked so dark? 01:06 Man, they said, "We better Accentuate the positive 01:11 Eliminate the negative 01:14 Latch on to the affirmative 01:17 Don't mess with Mister In-Between" 01:22 That is such a great lyric and wonderful advice. 01:25 You know, keeping a positive outlook 01:26 is a lot easier 01:28 if you do what Paul suggested to the Christians in Philippi. 01:31 In Philippians 4:8, Paul said, "Finally brethren, 01:34 whatever things are true, noble, just, 01:38 whatever things are pure, lovely, of good report, 01:41 if there's any virtue 01:42 and if there's anything praiseworthy 01:44 meditate on these things." 01:46 That's a great way to keep a positive outlook. 01:49 Now I received a request from Ben, 01:51 he said he was from the state of confusion 01:53 and he requested Bubba Shot The Jukebox, 01:56 but instead I think we're going to sing one 01:58 for Ellen in Oregon, who signed her email, 02:01 Keep Living on the Sunny Side. 02:03 Here's Keep on the Sunny Side of Life. 02:11 There's a dark and a troubled side of life 02:16 There's a bright and a sunny side too 02:21 Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife 02:26 The sunny side we also may view 02:32 Keep on the sunny side 02:35 Always on the sunny side 02:37 Keep on the sunny side of life 02:42 It will help us every day 02:44 It will brighten all the way 02:47 If we keep on the sunny side of life 02:52 Let us greet with a song of hope each day 02:57 Tho' the moments be cloudy or fair 03:03 Let us trust in our Savior alway 03:08 Who keepeth every one in His care 03:14 Keep on the sunny side 03:16 Always on the sunny side 03:19 Keep on the sunny side of life 03:23 It will help us every day 03:26 It will brighten all the way 03:29 If we keep on the sunny side of life 03:33 I'll sing that again. 03:34 So keep on the sunny side Always on the sunny side 03:40 Keep on the sunny side of life 03:44 It will help us every day 03:47 It will brighten all the way 03:49 If we keep on the sunny side of life 03:58 It's great advice. 04:00 Clifford and McIntyre, Tennessee, 04:03 requested, His Love that Makes Us Happy. 04:18 This world is full of sorrow Of sickness, death, and sin 04:25 With loving heart we'll do our part 04:28 And try some soul to win 04:32 And when this life is over 04:36 And we are called above 04:39 Our song shall be, eternally 04:43 Of Jesus and His love 04:48 God is love, we're His little children 04:55 God is love, 04:58 We would be like Him 05:00 'Tis love that makes us happy 05:03 'Tis love that smoothes the way 05:06 It helps us mind, it makes us kind 05:10 To others ev'ry day 05:13 I'll sing it out now. 05:14 God is love, we're His little children 05:20 God is love, we would be like Him 05:26 'Tis love that makes us happy 05:29 'Tis love that smoothes the way 05:32 It helps us mind, it makes us kind 05:35 To others ev'ry day 05:43 And now from Ira Stanphill 05:45 who is the writer of Mansion Over the Hill Top, 05:48 and Room at the Cross, great songs, 05:50 comes a fun tune from 1974, Happiness is the Lord. 05:55 The inspiration for this song came 05:56 when Ira was listening to a radio advertisement 05:59 for a bar's happy hour. 06:01 He wanted to write a song 06:02 expressing that the only real happiness 06:04 comes from knowing Jesus Christ. 06:06 Happiness is the Lord. 06:14 Happiness is to know the Savior 06:17 Living a life within His favor 06:20 Having a change in my behavior 06:23 Happiness is the Lord 06:28 Happiness is a new creation 06:31 "Jesus and me" in close relation 06:35 Having a part in His salvation 06:38 Happiness is the Lord 06:41 Real joy is mine 06:44 No matter if teardrops start 06:47 I've found the secret 06:50 It's Jesus in my heart 06:55 Happiness is to be forgiven 06:58 Living a life that's worth the livin' 07:01 Taking a trip that leads to heaven 07:05 Happiness is the Lord 07:07 Real joy is mine 07:10 No matter if teardrops start 07:14 I've found the secret 07:17 It's Jesus in my heart! 07:22 Happiness is to be forgiven 07:25 Living a life that's worth the livin' 07:28 Taking a trip that leads to heaven 07:32 Happiness is the Lord Happiness is the Lord 07:37 Sing it one more time. 07:38 Happiness is the Lord 07:45 If songs make you happy, if you have a favorite, 07:48 please email me 07:49 or write me a letter 07:51 and tell me what your favorite is, 07:52 tell me the story behind why it makes you happy, 07:55 and I'd love to hear from you, that's the point. 07:57 Send me your request. 07:58 We'll be back after this message. |
