00:01 Thanks for joining us on Your Favorites By Request.
00:03 We've been singing some maybe obscure songs to you, 00:08 some that you're not familiar with. 00:09 I'm certainly not familiar with some of these hymns 00:13 that are some older hymns. 00:14 But it's a delight to get, 00:16 to get into the hymnal 00:17 and really find out some new melodies. 00:20 And the lyrics are wonderful, lyrics as always. 00:24 In Romans 8:35, Paul reminds us that 00:27 nothing in the universe has the power to diminish 00:30 God's love toward us. 00:33 Troubles, pressures, problems, they're unable to come 00:37 between us and heaven's love. 00:39 And not even persecution, deprivation, danger, 00:43 or death threats 00:44 can hinder the omnipotent love of Christ. 00:48 I have a good friend, Ellen in Oregon, 00:51 who requested this song, 00:53 O, love that will not let me go. 01:08 O, Love that will not let me go 01:14 I rest my weary soul in thee 01:20 I give thee back the life I owe 01:26 That in thine ocean depths Its flow 01:31 May richer, fuller be 01:41 O, Light that follow'st All my way 01:47 I yield my flick'ring torch To thee 01:53 My heart restores Its borrowed ray 01:59 That in thy sunshine's blaze Its day 02:04 May brighter, fairer be 02:45 O, Cross That's liftest up my head 02:51 I dare not ask to fly from thee 02:58 I lay in dust life's glory dead 03:04 And from the ground 03:07 There blossoms red 03:09 That life that shall endless be 03:26 Beautiful song. 03:28 Ellen, I hope you enjoyed that song. 03:31 From Dell in Monterey, Tennessee, 03:33 back in my area comes a request for a song 03:36 with beautiful lyrics. 03:38 It's another obscure song in my opinion, 03:40 but it gives a progressive look at the maturity of our prayers 03:45 as we ultimately learn our greatest need is to love. 03:50 This song enforces the importance of singing 03:53 all of the verses 03:55 something that many of you request, 03:57 no matter what the song they say. 03:59 We want to hear all the verses. 04:00 So be sure and follow along because this is a great... 04:04 The idea is a wonderful idea 04:06 when you follow from verse 1 through 5. 04:09 It goes like this. 04:29 At first I prayed for light 04:33 Could I but see the way 04:37 How gladly, swiftly would 04:40 I walk To everlasting day 04:47 And next I prayed for strength 04:51 That I might tread the road 04:55 With firm, unfalt'ring feet, And win 05:01 The heav'n's serene abode 05:06 And then I prayed for faith 05:11 Could I but trust my God 05:15 I'd live enfolded in His peace 05:20 Though foes were all abroad 05:26 But now I pray for love 05:30 Deep love to God and man 05:35 A living love That will not fail 05:40 However dark His plan 05:44 Listen to this. 05:46 And light and strength And faith 05:50 Are opening everywhere 05:54 God waited patiently until 06:00 I prayed the larger prayer 06:08 Isn't that neat? 06:09 That's really cool. 06:11 It's my prayer that your life 06:13 would be full of the power of Christ's love, 06:16 so that you can make a difference in this world 06:18 and bring honor to Him. 06:20 Remember, the most important thing 06:23 is to love God and to love others. 06:25 I want to send out this song to Eva in Inman, Kansas 06:29 who requested In a Little While We're Going Home. 06:32 Eva lives out there in the Midwest, 06:35 close to where I was born and raised. 06:37 I was in Missouri, 06:39 so we're right next-door neighbors. 06:41 Missouri and Kansas are. 06:43 I don't know where Inman is, but I'm sure it's close. 06:45 So hope you enjoy 06:47 In a Little While We're Going Home. 06:55 Sing along now. 06:57 Let us sing a song 07:00 That will cheer us by the way 07:02 In a little while We're going home 07:06 For the night will end 07:09 In the everlasting day 07:11 In a little while We're going home 07:16 In a little while, In a little while 07:20 We shall cross The billow's foam 07:25 We shall meet at last 07:27 When the stormy winds are past 07:30 In a little while We're going home 07:35 And we will do the work 07:37 That our hands will find to do 07:39 In a little while We're going home 07:44 And the grace of God 07:46 Will our daily strength renew 07:49 In a little while We're going home 07:53 In a little while, In a little while 07:58 We shall cross The billow's foam 08:02 We shall meet at last 08:04 When the stormy winds are past 08:08 In a little while We're going home 08:11 You sing it now. 08:30 Oh, in a little while 08:32 In a little while 08:35 We shall cross The billow's foam 08:39 We shall meet at last 08:41 When the stormy winds are past 08:45 In a little while We're going home 08:49 And let's do the last verse. 08:51 There's a rest beyond 08:54 There's relief from every care 08:56 In a little while We're going home 09:00 And no tears shall fall 09:03 In that city bright and fair 09:05 In a little while We're going home 09:09 Oh, in a little while 09:12 In a little while 09:14 We shall cross The billow's foam 09:18 We shall meet at last 09:21 When the stormy winds are past 09:24 In a little while We're going home 09:29 In a little while We're going home 09:38 I love that song. 09:39 That's a fun song. 09:41 And a good thought 09:42 in little while we are going home. 09:44 I can't wait. 09:45 So a lot of the requests that we're doing are songs 09:51 that have been requested from quite a while back. 09:54 But just this morning, 09:56 I received a beautiful request from this song, 10:00 and I think you'll recognize it. 12:19 And there's the third verse. 12:22 I'd stay in the garden 12:26 With Him 12:29 Though the night around me 12:34 is falling 12:37 But He bids me go 12:42 Through the voice of woe 12:46 His voice to me 12:50 Is calling 12:55 And He walks with me 13:01 And He talks with me 13:06 And He tells me 13:09 I am His own 13:14 And the joy we share 13:19 As we tarry there 13:26 None other has ever known 13:34 None other... 13:40 Thanks for watching and come back 13:42 with more requests next time. |
