00:01 Welcome back
00:02 Liz in Battle Creek, Michigan 00:04 requested a gospel song that became popular. 00:07 When I was like a kid, 00:10 we've been singing and preaching this 00:12 for pretty long time, 00:13 but I know that God is aware of the time. 00:16 And, John, I still believe that Jesus is coming soon. 00:18 Amen. We'll sing this song. 00:26 Troublesome times are here Filling men's hearts with fear 00:31 Freedom we all hold dear Now is at stake 00:37 Humbling your hearts to God Saves from the chastening rod 00:42 Seek the way pilgrims trod Christians awake 00:48 Jesus is coming soon Morning or night or noon 00:54 Many will meet their doom Trumpets will sound 01:00 All of the dead shall rise Righteous meet in the skies 01:06 Going where no one dies Heavenward bound 01:17 Troubles will soon be o'er, Happy forevermore 01:23 When we meet on that shore, Free from all care 01:29 Rising up in the sky, Telling this world goodbye 01:35 Homeward we then shall fly, Glory to share 01:41 Jesus is coming soon Morning Or night or noon 01:46 Many will meet their doom Trumpets will sound 01:52 All of the dead shall rise Righteous meet in the skies 01:58 Going where no one dies Heavenward bound 02:02 Well, sing it again. 02:04 Jesus is coming soon Morning or night or noon 02:10 Many will meet their doom Trumpets will sound 02:15 All of the dead shall rise Righteous meet in the skies 02:21 Going where no one dies Heavenward bound 02:31 Amen! 02:33 That's an encouraging powerful message, right? 02:37 I got to include intro. That's a... 02:39 Thank you for that request. Yeah. Liz, thank you. 02:41 What a wonderful song. Yeah. 02:42 You know, here's another gospel request 02:45 written by a friend of mine. 02:46 I love the message in this song, 02:48 God wants to hear you sing. 02:57 Their chains Were fastened tight 03:01 Down at the jail that night 03:03 Still Paul and Silas Would not be dismayed 03:10 They said, 03:11 "IT'S time to lift our voice 03:14 Sing praises to the Lord 03:17 Let's prove that we will trust Him, 03:21 Come what may." 03:25 God wants to hear you sing 03:28 When the waves are crashing 'round you 03:32 When the fiery darts Surround you 03:35 When despair is all you see 03:39 God wants to hear your voice 03:42 When the wisest man has spoken 03:46 And says your circumstance is as hopeless as can be 03:53 That's when God wants to hear you sing 04:05 He loves to hear our praise 04:09 On our cheerful days 04:12 When the pleasant times 04:14 Outweigh the bad, by far 04:19 But when suffering comes along 04:23 And we still sing Him songs 04:27 Oh, that is when 04:29 We bless the Father's heart 04:34 God wants to hear you sing 04:38 When the waves are crashing 'Round you 04:42 When the fiery darts Surround you 04:46 When despair is all you see 04:50 God wants to hear your voice 04:54 When the wisest man has spoken 04:57 And says your circumstance is as hopeless as can be 05:04 That's when God wants to hear you sing 05:13 God wants to hear you sing 05:17 When the waves are crashing 'Round you 05:20 When the fiery darts Surround you 05:24 When despair is all you see 05:28 God wants to hear your voice 05:32 When the wisest man has spoken 05:36 And says your circumstance 05:38 Is as hopeless as can be 05:43 That's when God wants to hear you sing 05:58 You know it's easy to sing when everything's going great. 06:01 Wow. 06:02 But when things aren't going so great. 06:05 Wow. It's a... 06:07 That song really ministered to me. 06:08 Yeah, all right. It's good. 06:10 You know, it's a song that finds the fabric of humanity. 06:14 Right. 06:15 You know, it's like you said, 06:16 it's easy when the bank account is stable 06:18 and everything is fine in society 06:19 and your children are behaving better 06:21 and the dog doesn't tear up your pillow 06:22 when you leave the house. 06:24 And in the cynical places of life 06:27 is when Christianity becomes a thing 06:29 that now shows its real true character. 06:31 Right. 06:32 And there's so many stories in the Bible. 06:35 I've lived those experiences in so many ways 06:37 where, you know, it was like, 06:39 I remember pulling over years, years ago. 06:41 I remember I was going through a challenge in my life. 06:43 And I remember driving South on highway 57 06:46 and I pulled over on the side of the road. 06:48 I mean, I didn't even make it to the exit. 06:50 And I just started talking to the Lord 06:52 and tears were coming out of my eyes. 06:53 I said, Lord. 06:55 And I remember being once at church one evening, 06:57 it was a Wednesday night. 06:58 And I said, Lord, 07:00 I said to the people that were there, 07:01 "Do you ever feel like on your way to church, 07:03 you just wanna drive right by." 07:04 I said, 07:06 "That's how I feel right now. I need you to pray for me." 07:07 Wow. 07:08 And they gathered around me and prayed. 07:10 And so, it's that those moments that our songs really matter 07:12 and our sermons find roots in the ground. 07:15 So if you're going through stuff, 07:17 it's not unusual. 07:19 Jesus went through stuff. Right. 07:20 That's when God wants to hear you sing. 07:22 Yeah. 07:24 And you know, it's okay to be real with God. 07:25 It's okay to be honest 07:26 and admit those times 07:28 that you are feeling like you... 07:30 Just wanna keep going. 07:31 Keep on going, keep on driving by. 07:32 Right. But when that... 07:35 When that's done, give Him a little shout out, 07:38 you know, give Him a praise and let Him hear you sing. 07:42 And it's amazing what a song as well, 07:44 we know, you know 07:45 when we sing along on these programs, 07:47 I get so many comments saying how it is helping them 07:51 through troubled times, 07:52 helping them through situations in their own lives, 07:55 personal situations. 07:57 So, ah, that's, 07:58 I think God loves to hear sing. 08:01 That's right. 08:02 Well, let's sing the song that is a very familiar melody 08:06 and it says, I cannot tell why. 08:08 Okay. 08:17 I cannot tell 08:20 why He, whom angels worship 08:25 Should set His love 08:28 Upon the sons of men 08:33 Or why, as Shepherd He would seek the wand'rers 08:42 To bring them back 08:45 They know not how or when 08:50 But this I know, 08:54 That He was born of Mary 08:59 When Bethlehem's manger was His only home 09:07 And that He lived at Nazareth 09:14 And labored 09:18 And so the Savior, 09:21 Savior of the world, is come 09:30 I cannot tell 09:33 How silently He suffered 09:39 As with His peace 09:42 He graced this place of tears 09:48 Or how His heart 09:52 Upon the Cross was broken 09:58 The crown of pain 10:01 To three and thirty years 10:06 Tim. 10:08 But this I know, 10:11 He heals the broken-hearted 10:16 And stays our sin, 10:20 And calms our lurking fear 10:24 And lifts the burden 10:29 From the heavy laden 10:35 For still the Savior, 10:38 Of the world, is here 10:45 Sing this at home. 11:23 But this I know 11:27 All flesh shall see His glory 11:33 And He shall reap 11:37 The harvest He has sown 11:44 And some glad day 11:49 His sun will shall shine 11:52 In splendor 11:56 When He the Savior, 12:00 Savior of the world, is known 12:08 I cannot tell 12:12 How all the lands Shall worship 12:17 When, at His bidding, 12:21 Every storm is stilled 12:26 Or who can say how great 12:31 The jubilation 12:36 When every heart 12:39 With love and joy is filled 12:43 Sing, John. 12:45 But this I know, 12:49 The skies will thrill With rapture 12:55 And myriad, 12:58 Myriad human voices sing 13:04 And earth to heaven, 13:08 And heaven to earth, 13:11 Will answer 13:16 At last the Savior, 13:20 Savior of the world, is King 13:34 Amen. Amen. 13:37 Now that's got some powerful, powerful words. 13:39 The words just, it pulls you in, 13:41 it pulls you in. 13:43 But praise the Lord. Amen. 13:44 The story that we just walked through 13:46 is such a real story. 13:48 The Savior lives, 13:50 and one day myriads, myriads 13:52 will raise their voice in glory to His name. 13:54 Praise the Lord for that song. 13:55 We're gonna sing that one more, in church more. 13:57 That's another one we gotta remember 13:58 and thank you for that request. 13:59 Yeah, Very much so. 14:01 And thank you for this next request. 14:02 Occasionally songwriters will attempt to write a song 14:05 that answers the world's greatest questions. 14:09 Interestingly enough, 14:11 even though this song gives answers, 14:13 those answers only boggle the mind 14:16 causing us to wish we hadn't even asked, 14:18 but it's a grandiose thought 14:20 to contemplate how big God is. 14:24 And I think that the writer of this song 14:26 writes a pretty good picture. 14:28 How big is God? 14:29 Okay. 14:40 Though man may strive to go 14:46 Beyond the reach of space 14:50 To walk beyond 14:53 The distant shining stars 14:59 This world's a room so small 15:04 Within my Master's house 15:09 The open sky 15:12 Is but a portion of His yard 15:19 How big is God? 15:23 How big and wide 15:25 His vast domain 15:28 To try to tell these lips 15:33 Can only start 15:37 He's big enough to rule 15:42 The mighty universe 15:46 Yet small enough 15:50 To live within my heart 15:57 As winter's chill... 16:00 You wanna sing it? 16:01 May cause the tiny seed To fall 16:08 To lie asleep to wake 16:13 By summer's rain 16:18 The heart grown cold 16:22 Will warm and spark 16:25 With life anew 16:29 The Master's touch 16:33 Will bring the glow again 16:37 Tim. 16:39 How big is God? 16:44 How big and wide 16:46 His vast domain 16:50 To try to tell these lips 16:55 Can only start 17:00 He's big enough to rule 17:06 This mighty universe 17:11 Yet small enough 17:14 To live within my heart 17:21 He's big enough 17:25 To rule the mighty universe 17:32 Yet small enough 17:36 To live within my heart 17:49 Amen. 17:51 Wow.
