02:22 We are already.
02:23 What's happening here? Tell us what's going on?
02:24 I know, this is
02:26 The Dare to Dream holiday special.
02:28 An evening with Danny, Yvonne, and friends.
02:31 All of our guests. All of our guests.
02:33 You know, this is so exciting,
02:34 we've been waiting for this for a whole year, right?
02:36 I know.
02:37 And Yvonne...
02:38 Some of the best voices in the world.
02:40 I told Yvonne, just why don't you get
02:41 some of the Dare to Dream folk
02:42 and you just pick out the best in the business
02:45 and, you know what?
02:46 Here you all are. All right.
02:47 So all right, so that's just exactly
02:49 and I'm a believer,
02:51 I'm here and stuff
02:52 and I got to hear a little bit of the warm up,
02:54 so I got little better,
02:55 this going to be a fun evening,
02:56 a spiritual evening, you know why?
02:58 Because Jesus is the center of this program.
03:01 Jesus is the reason for this program tonight.
03:03 That's right.
03:05 Sometimes folks will write in, they'll say,
03:06 you shouldn't be doing Christmas programs,
03:08 Christ wasn't born December 25.
03:10 I say, we know that, we know that,
03:13 but Jesus says the reason for the season.
03:15 So when you can go into a Walmart this time of year
03:18 or any store, and hear songs about Christ,
03:21 how often is that?
03:22 Once a year
03:24 and the people are listening all around the world,
03:25 anytime we have a chance to worship the Lord,
03:28 we should do it.
03:29 So we are gonna take advantage of this.
03:31 You all can be sad and long faced if you want,
03:33 but we are gonna serve the Lord tonight
03:35 and we are gonna have a blast doing it.
03:36 Yes.
03:37 Amen, it's just like you kind of preaching over here.
03:39 Well, that's right, I quit now.
03:41 We love it, we love it, we love you.
03:42 We want you to continue that.
03:44 You gonna introduce folk?

04:23 For a long time.
04:24 Oh, yeah, let's just say a long time.
04:25 A long time.
04:27 You want to get specific about how many years and all that?
04:28 Let's just say it's been more than two decades.

05:02 Glad to be here. Thanks for having me.
05:04 Yes, yes.
05:05 It's gonna be a great evening, Yvonne,
05:06 I'm looking forward to.
05:08 I can't wait to hear
05:09 what God is gonna do through all these folks.
05:10 Me too, me too
05:12 and we gonna start with Shirley.
05:13 Okay.
05:15 Shirley has one,
05:16 tell us what you gonna sing, Shirley?
05:18 Choose the song, named, titled
05:22 "A Stranger Way",
05:25 A Strange way to Save the World.
05:29 Thought about what you shared earlier, Danny,
05:34 that around this time of the year,
05:38 it's a great time to reassess
05:42 what our beliefs are,
05:45 and when we are witnessing,
05:49 it is somehow time as well,
05:53 when to explain the birth of Christ,
05:59 may come across a strange.
06:02 But in this strange way
06:04 that He chose to save the world,
06:06 I am free because of that.
06:08 All right.
06:09 And so, want to share this song with you.
06:27 I know he must have been surprised
06:33 At where this road had taken him
06:38 'Cause never in a million lives
06:44 Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem
06:50 Standing at the manger He saw with his own eyes
06:57 The message from the angel come to life
07:04 He must have said Why me
07:07 Just a simple man of trade
07:13 Why Him with all the rulers in the world
07:17 In the world
07:19 Why here inside this stable filled with hay
07:27 Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
07:34 Now I'm not one to second guess
07:38 What angels have to say
07:43 But this is such a strange way
07:47 To save the world
07:54 Think of how it could have been
07:59 If Jesus had come as He deserved
08:05 There wouldn't be a Bethlehem
08:10 No lonely shepherds at His birth
08:17 Joseph knew the Reason love had to reach so far
08:24 And as he held the Savior in his arms
08:30 He must have said Why me
08:34 I'm just a simple man of trade
08:39 Why Him with all the rulers in the world
08:46 Why here inside this stable filled with hay
08:54 Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
09:01 Now I'm not one to second guess
09:05 What angels have to say
09:10 But this is such a strange way
09:14 To save the world
09:21 This is such a strange way
09:25 This is such a strange way
09:28 This is such a strange way
09:33 To save the world
09:39 To save the world
09:42 World
09:54 Amen, beautiful.
09:56 Amen.
09:57 Beautiful as you make in your way back here,
09:59 Shirley, tell us where you're from?
10:01 Watch the snow,
10:02 you don't slip and slide on the ice.
10:04 The ice and snow layer, you know.
10:05 Ice and snow.
10:06 It's quite slippery, thank you.
10:08 There you go, all right.
10:10 Tell us where you're from?
10:12 I currently reside and work in New York.
10:18 Well, knocking into New York. New York.
10:19 All right, I think,
10:21 there are several New Yorkers here
10:22 I'm not sure, I know there is one sitting
10:24 beside me right here.
10:25 Yes.
10:26 Anybody?
10:28 And the one that sitting beside me. I'm in New York.
10:29 Dennis, do you? And I was born in New York.
10:30 You were born in New York?
10:32 Born and raised. Oh, I didn't know that.
10:33 Neville?
10:35 Neville, aren't you from New York.
10:36 No, no, no, I'm from the Caribbean.
10:37 Oh, my bad, Neville.
10:39 Caribbean.
10:40 That's a long ways from New York, you know.
10:41 It is.
10:43 Very long ways. Yeah.
10:44 All right, a few of us not from New York.
10:46 But how about, how about John,
10:47 is he going to be singing for us next?
10:49 John is going to...
10:50 And where are you from, John?
10:51 I'm from Philadelphia originally.
10:53 So I wasn't born near New York.
10:55 Okay. All right.
10:57 Where you reside now?
10:58 I live in Huntsville, Alabama
11:01 and I still considered myself a Philadelphian though,
11:03 that's home for me.
11:05 Yeah, but I love,
11:06 so Alabama is my second home now,
11:07 Huntsville.
11:09 I'm settled in, enjoying it, raising kids,
11:11 wife and two daughters.
11:12 So I'm enjoying Huntsville...
11:14 Okay. All right.
11:15 And you have a couple of projects,
11:16 don't you, John?
11:18 I do, Been fortunate to be able to do
11:19 a few solo recording as well as work
11:21 as a music producer and song writer
11:23 with some of my favorite artists,
11:24 so it's just,
11:26 I pinch myself sometimes because I'm like wow,
11:27 I get to work with this person or that person.
11:29 So it's a real blessing.
11:30 Well, we feel that about you today,
11:32 we get to work with you.
11:33 We are pinching ourselves here.
11:35 We are pinching ourselves.
11:36 What do you gonna sing for us?
11:37 Well, I'm gonna sing a song...
11:39 My most memorable Christmas was
11:42 when my youngest daughter was born.
11:43 She was born on Christmas Eve.
11:45 So that's the Christmas that is always I think
11:47 for now through eternity will ever
11:49 stand out for me in my mind.
11:51 And so for me parenthood has just been
11:54 one of the greatest gifts that I could have ever received
11:57 and it's amazing how God will use that relationship
12:02 to help us learn about our relationship with him.
12:05 So I'd like to share a little song
12:06 that I wrote just honoring,
12:08 that special gift that
12:09 I got in my daughter right at Christmas.
12:11 It's called "I Never Knew."
12:20 I never knew what miracle could be
12:28 So precious and beautiful to me
12:36 I look in your eyes and I see what
12:44 I never knew
12:51 That one of your smiles is worth more
12:58 That a sky full of diamonds galore
13:06 And now I know world of is for
13:12 I never knew
13:21 So precious Jesus
13:28 Because of all you do
13:36 This gift you gave me
13:44 I give it back to you
13:51 I never knew that one simple touch
13:58 Of another hand to mine could mean so much
14:06 I never seen a miracle
14:10 With such a wonderful mystery
14:22 I never knew till that was you
14:38 Oh so precious Jesus
14:47 Because of all you do
14:54 This gift you gave me
15:02 I give it back to you
15:09 I never knew that one simple touch
15:17 Of another hand to mine could mean so much
15:25 I never seen a miracle
15:29 With such a wonderful mystery
15:42 I never knew till that was you
15:50 I never knew
15:57 Till that was you
16:13 Till that was you
16:20 Oh, beautiful, that's a two hander.
16:22 That is, praise the Lord.
16:24 I'm grateful for the gift. Grateful for the gift.
16:26 Beautiful baby girl, beautiful baby girl.
16:29 You know, when you hear songs like that,
16:31 it just transport you, doesn't it?
16:34 Absolutely, absolutely.
16:35 And speaking of transporting,
16:38 the gentleman next to me has been my friend
16:40 as I mentioned for...
16:42 I didn't mention how long, did I?
16:45 Really, or Jason's 29 and I know you before him so...
16:48 I was excited to meet you
16:50 because I've heard so much about you.
16:52 According to her the sun rises and sets on Dennis.
16:56 So we are finding that out now.
16:58 She loves me, she is my wonderful friend.
17:00 Yes, yes, like his big sis.
17:02 And Dennis has sung with so many people.
17:06 Tell us some of the people you sung with, Dennis?
17:08 Well, I'll go back and say this,
17:10 that's where we met.
17:11 We were both working in New York...
17:12 Sang with Yvonne Lewis.
17:14 Singing with Yvonne Lewis
17:15 and working on recording sessions
17:17 and TV shows and traveling the world and,
17:20 but the thing that brought us together was that
17:23 we were both brought up in the church,
17:26 and so a lot of people say things like,
17:29 you know, you shouldn't be in that business
17:30 and my thing is well,
17:32 what business are you in and is it a Christian business?
17:35 Okay, come on, that's right.
17:36 And so that people stop and say, okay, well,
17:37 I guess that make sense
17:39 because we know we're suppose to be everywhere
17:41 bringing light to the world.
17:42 So that's how we got together...
17:44 And we would have some wonderful times, Bible studies,
17:46 it might go till two or three in the morning.
17:48 With all kinds of our friends in the business
17:50 sitting on the floor with the Bible
17:53 and then we leave
17:54 and be in the streets of New York
17:55 still discussing things.
17:57 So that's the friendship by God that we have.
18:00 Amen. Amen.
18:01 So it's an honor to be here. Amen.
18:03 Yeah, after all this time. Yes, indeed.
18:05 Yes, indeed and we would sing
18:06 the Messiah sometimes together.
18:08 He would bring his choir over
18:09 and we sing the Messiah so it was just...
18:12 I know, it was just craziness and lots or fun.
18:15 All right, all right, John, all right.
18:17 All right.
18:19 What are you gonna sing for us now, Den?
18:20 Well, I'm going to sing "Oh, Holy Night."
18:22 Oh, great.
18:23 Because, you know,
18:25 once again we think about the world
18:27 and we think about the kingdoms of the world
18:30 and how everybody who wants to emulate
18:32 being on top of the world
18:34 and being a king is always, you know,
18:37 we all want to have a fancy car and a big home
18:40 and all that grace up,
18:42 but when you think about Christ,
18:43 who put all that aside
18:45 and to go so lowliest to be in a manger
18:49 out there in the cold at night,
18:51 while the world was still going on doing all of its stuff,
18:54 that changed the whole world.
18:56 Amen.
18:57 So I'd like to think about that song,
18:59 you know, the quietness,
19:00 nobody around, but the few that were there.
19:03 So that's what I'm going to sing.
19:04 Great, so please. All right.
19:06 Praise the Lord. Yes, indeed.
19:08 I'm excited that he is here, Dan,
19:10 because I've told you about him.
19:11 Yeah, you have. But now you see him.
19:13 You have and I got to hear him practice a little bit too.
19:15 So again, I feel so blessed to be.
19:18 Aren't you glad this folk are on God's side?
19:21 Listen.
19:22 I mean, they could do a lot of damage
19:23 if you all were out in the world,
19:25 you could do a lot of damage to the cause of God.
19:26 We praise the Lord at each and every one of you
19:29 with all the talents and gifts
19:31 that God has given you has said,
19:33 you know what?
19:35 I'm a sinner saved by grace.
19:36 Yes.
19:37 And I'm gonna tell the world,
19:39 our greatest asset...
19:40 The greatest assets are own personal testimony
19:43 what God has done for us.
19:45 So we are excited to hear Dennis sing to us.
20:06 O holy night!
20:10 The stars are brightly shining
20:15 It is the night of our dear
20:19 Savior's birth!
20:29 Long lay the world
20:32 In sin and error pining
20:38 Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth
20:47 A thrill of hope
20:51 A weary world rejoices
20:56 For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
21:04 Fall on your knees
21:12 Oh hear
21:16 The angel voices
21:21 Oh night divine
21:29 Oh night
21:32 when Christ was born
21:38 Oh night divine
21:46 Oh night
21:49 When Christ was born
22:03 Oh holy night
22:21 Fall on your knees
22:28 Oh hear
22:32 The angel voices
22:37 Oh night divine
22:44 Oh night
22:48 When Christ was born
22:54 Oh night divine
23:02 Oh night
23:08 Oh night divine
23:12 Oh night
23:18 When Christ was born
23:33 Oh night divine
23:42 All right, amen.
23:44 Amen. Praise the Lord.
23:45 Oh Holy Night is one of my
23:47 absolute favorite Christmas songs.
23:49 I know you sing it here once in a while too, don't you?
23:51 I do, I do.
23:53 So I wonder how many times
23:55 that song has been sung, you know,
23:57 thousands and thousands,
23:58 as hundreds of thousands but you know what?
24:00 I never get tired of hearing that.
24:01 I don't either.
24:03 And thank you, Dennis, beautiful job.
24:04 Thank you, thank you.
24:05 He's got that little smooth thing
24:07 going there with that voice.
24:08 I know, he does.
24:09 He is easy, doesn't strain, you know,
24:11 I try to sing and I'm straining
24:13 and he just barely open his mouth
24:15 and it's all coming out so beautifully.
24:17 Thank you, thank you. It's beautiful.
24:18 Yeah, what a gift God has given you.
24:20 Singing like an angel.
24:22 Speaking of angels, let's do a group song,
24:25 let's sing "Angels We've Heard on High".
24:27 Okay, all right.
24:29 Brought this key.
24:30 Yeah, that's good.
24:41 Angels we have heard on high
24:46 Sweetly singing o'er the plains
24:50 And the mountains in reply
24:55 Echoing their joyous strains
25:05 Gloria, In excelsis Deo!
25:17 Gloria, In excelsis Deo!
25:27 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
25:31 Why your joyous strains prolong?
25:36 What the gladsome tidings be
25:40 Which inspire your heav'nly song?
25:49 Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
26:00 Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
26:15 You better sing, Lyndon.
26:18 Is Lyndon over there cutting up?
26:20 Is he over there cutting up?
26:21 No, it was all Angela over here.
26:25 I tell you what,
26:26 it sounded beautiful, oh, didn't it?
26:28 It does.
26:29 For no practice,
26:30 I didn't know we are gonna do that
26:32 and I'm so glad for teleprompters
26:33 that second verse,
26:34 I don't know if I ever heard that before my life,
26:37 I'm just reading it saying, what?
26:39 I didn't know this,
26:40 but hey, it fit, you know it works.
26:42 It works, it works. So it's all right.
26:45 One of favorite singer is too Den,
26:47 is Neville Peter.
26:48 Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Yes.
26:50 And Neville is going to sing for us.
26:53 John and Neville are gonna switch places right now.
26:57 But we want to find out
26:58 a little bit about Neville here in a minute.
27:00 Absolutely.
27:01 And he's been coming to 3ABN for many, many years
27:05 and so is Angela.
27:06 I think we got her as just teenager maybe.
27:08 Of course, of course.
27:09 How am I doing? How am I doing?
27:11 Fresh on middle school.
27:13 And, but Neville has been coming here long time ago
27:16 and when we heard him singing, we said,
27:18 man this guy is so blessed but you know what?
27:21 More than his incredible talent is his love for Jesus.
27:24 It shines out every where he goes
27:27 and Jesus says, "I, If I be lifted up from this earth
27:30 will draw all men unto me."
27:32 And that's exactly, so I love you,
27:35 we all love you here
27:36 and we are with you a 100 percent.
27:38 We praise God that you are using your talent
27:41 for the Lord Jesus Christ.
27:42 Amen. Yes.
27:44 Thank you so much man, I'm really happy to be here,
27:46 it's always a blessing to come up here
27:49 and to share the stage with,
27:52 you know, all this wonderful people here
27:55 this evening.
27:57 I want to do a song,
27:58 this song is called "Every Year".
28:01 It's a song that I wrote, you know,
28:03 I do a lot of thinking at the piano,
28:06 I was sitting and just meditating at the piano,
28:08 it was actually around this time of year
28:11 during the holidays and, you know,
28:13 that this phrase came to my mind,
28:16 and I believe it was the Lord that put this phrase in my mind
28:19 and the phrase goes something like this.
28:21 Every year at Christmas time you receive me
28:26 but then God says, but do you believe me?
28:28 All right. Okay.
28:30 I said wow, that's kind of deep,
28:32 so I sat there and I thought about that for a second.
28:35 I sat there and I thought about that for a second, you know,
28:38 I came to realize, you know, this, you know,
28:41 somebody wrote a song about this time in the year
28:42 and they said,
28:44 it's the most wonderful time of the year
28:45 and you know it's really true.
28:47 The reason why it's true is because again,
28:49 every time around this time of the year,
28:51 everybody is thinking about Jesus,
28:53 everybody is talking about Jesus.
28:55 Everybody is reflecting on the fact
28:58 that He came to this world.
29:02 But not everybody believes Him.
29:10 Listen.
29:14 Christmas time is here again
29:20 Can you feel it in the air?
29:26 Going home for the holidays
29:33 Spending time with those who care
29:39 Every year at Christmas time you receive me
29:47 Do you believe me?
30:03 Your home is filled with warmth and cheer
30:10 With family from far and near
30:16 Singing Christmas carols around your tree
30:22 Of a child born to set you free
30:32 But every year at Christmas time you receive me
30:41 Do you believe me?
30:45 When Christmas ends you send me away
30:51 But I want you to know I came to stay
31:02 And when the years have come and gone
31:08 Seasons change and time moves on
31:14 Will I be just another memory
31:20 Slowly fading with your Christmas tree
31:30 Every year at Christmas time you receive me
31:39 Do you believe me?
31:42 When Christmas ends you send me away
31:48 But I want you to know
31:51 I came to stay
31:56 And when the years
31:59 when the years come and go
32:05 Seasons change and time moves on
32:11 Will I be just another memory
32:16 Slowly fading with your Christmas tree
32:26 Every year at Christmas time
32:30 You receive me
32:35 But do you believe me?
32:39 Every year at Christmas time
32:43 You receive me
32:47 Do you believe me?
33:06 Amen. Amen.
33:07 Beautiful,
33:09 Neville, I wonder if you are professional,
33:11 so I want to throw something at you here,
33:13 we didn't even talked to him about it.
33:15 Why you are there, just play another song.
33:17 I don't care if it's a Christmas song,
33:18 I don't care what it is, when it comes from you,
33:21 the Lord blesses and it's gonna be good.
33:23 You choose something, any, any, any...
33:25 Man, you really put me on the spot, brother.
33:28 There is a thanksgiving song or some Easter song,
33:31 I don't care what it is,
33:32 just sing us something and bless our socks off,
33:35 what do you for us?
33:37 Well, okay,
33:40 this is how I'm gonna set this song,
33:42 I love to think about the second coming.
33:45 All right.
33:46 And I just love meditating on the fact that,
33:50 especially around this time of year because, you know,
33:53 when we think about Christmas, we say, you know,
33:56 Christ came but, you know,
33:58 He came so He could came again.
34:00 Yes. All right.
34:01 That's the purpose for Him coming.
34:03 Yeah.
34:04 And, you know a lot of us right now,
34:06 we look around our world,
34:07 you know, there is a lot of uncertainty.
34:09 And we know that before Jesus comes,
34:15 it's gonna be a lot of fake Christs.
34:18 And Jesus Himself said it, He said, you know,
34:21 "When you see, you know,
34:22 when you hear them say, you know,
34:24 go to the desert, you know,
34:27 don't go because I'm not there..."
34:30 That's right.
34:31 And I wrote a little song about it, I want to share it.
34:32 Okay.
34:50 When Christ comes
34:52 Heaven will be empty for a while
34:55 Not even angels up there
34:58 when Christ comes
34:59 On a chariot of fire in the sky
35:03 Take one more look if you dare when the mountains fall
35:09 Into the sea
35:13 Planet earth is really no place to be
35:21 When Christ comes
35:22 As a king in royal garments white
35:26 There will be no hiding place
35:28 when Christ comes
35:30 Many will be running from the light
35:33 They cannot look at His face when the sky unfolds
35:39 Just like a scroll
35:43 He will come and rescue me and everyone will see
35:51 So don't go
35:54 when they say He is in the dessert
35:56 Or in an apparition on the wall
35:59 Don't go when they tell you come and see Him
36:03 In some secret place
36:06 Yes, He is coming Second time around
36:11 And His feet won't touch the ground
36:19 When Christ comes Will you be able to stand
36:24 On that day when he appears When Christ comes
36:29 To redeem with His righteous right hand
36:32 Are we all willing to hear and obey His will
36:37 They walk on Zion's hell
36:41 And rise to meet Him up in the air my friend
36:45 Will you be there
36:49 So don't go
36:51 When they say He is in the dessert
36:53 Or in an apparition on the wall
36:56 Don't go when they tell you come and see Him
37:01 In some secret place
37:03 Yes, He is coming
37:06 The second time around
37:09 And His feet won't touch the ground
37:13 Don't you believe the lies
37:16 He'll be seen by every eyes
37:20 Some will live, some will die
37:24 Don't go, when they say He is in the dessert,
37:28 Or in an apparition on the wall
37:31 Don't go when they tell you come and see Him
37:36 In some secret place
37:38 Yes, He is coming The second time around
37:43 And His feet won't touch the ground
37:47 Don't go, when they say He is in the dessert,
37:52 Or in an apparition on the wall
37:55 Don't go when they tell you come and see Him
37:59 In some secret place
38:02 Yes, He is coming
38:05 The second time around
38:07 And His feet won't touch the ground
38:16 Cool song. Amen.
38:18 That's awesome.
38:19 You know what? Don't go.
38:20 I was cold out here in this snow
38:22 and then he did that and I got hot.
38:23 I thought I was in the desert.
38:25 You made me stand like I was in the desert.
38:26 I know... Have mercy.
38:28 When he was saying, "Don't go..."
38:29 I wanted us to answer him.
38:31 Oh, you should have.
38:32 I was thinking we should have answered him
38:33 when he was saying don't go...
38:35 You should have, we're having fun here today.
38:36 I know. You could answer.
38:37 I don't want to mess him up though.
38:39 You know, what John was saying,
38:40 he leaned over and he said,
38:42 he said brilliant,
38:43 that is just brilliant, wasn't that?
38:44 Brilliant, man. I'm a fan...
38:46 I'm a real fan.
38:47 Wasn't that great? Yes.
38:48 Here we go.
38:50 Can we go next door and record that in the studio right here?
38:51 I know, we should, we should.
38:52 My arranger, his head was just spinning.
38:54 I said, oh, I could do this.
38:55 Oh, I can have that.
38:57 Brilliant, brilliant, wonderful.
38:58 That was awesome.
39:00 Thank you Neville,
39:01 and Danny put you on the spot too.
39:03 Yeah.
39:04 I'm glad, just think we could have miss that.
39:06 I know that. I'm glad you did that.
39:08 Be ye also ready,
39:09 he was also ready. Be ye also ready.
39:11 That's right, in season now, this season,
39:13 this have to be in this season.
39:15 So he was ready for that.
39:16 Speaking of brilliant...
39:18 Yes.
39:19 We got another singer who is also...
39:20 And beautiful...
39:22 Yeah, she is beautiful and talented...
39:23 And talented and got...
39:24 And funny. Yeah.
39:26 And but she is more beautiful on the inside too.
39:27 And that's most important thing.
39:28 Yeah, absolutely, Angela
39:30 and I appreciate you being here
39:32 and coming and doing what you do for God,
39:35 because you have an unusual gift,
39:37 and I'm so thankful,
39:38 all of you guys that you could be anywhere
39:39 you wanted in the world really.
39:41 Really.
39:42 But you've chosen to use your gifts and your talents
39:44 and your abilities for the Lord.
39:46 Why do you do that?
39:47 You could be out doing, why do you do that?
39:49 Why did Christ give up everything for me?
39:51 I mean that's the least I can do.
39:53 He is a perfect God,
39:55 left the perfect heaven
39:56 to come to an imperfect world
39:57 to save an imperfect person like me.
39:59 Amen.
40:00 So He gave me the gift. Yeah.
40:01 Why not use it for Him? All right.
40:03 Amen. Amen.
40:04 What are you gonna sing for us?
40:07 Who would imagine a king?
40:09 I'm thinking who would imagine a king.
40:12 Yes, one of my favorite songs,
40:14 Whitney Houston one of my favorite singers
40:16 recorded this song, and as a mother,
40:19 raising children,
40:20 you never know what that child's gonna go up to be and,
40:24 but I do know if I followed the word of God
40:26 that says, train up a child in a way
40:27 that he or she should go,
40:29 they would never depart from it.
40:30 So it gives me hope but I just can imagine
40:33 Mary looking at that child and thinking,
40:35 wow, this child has come to save me.
40:38 Yeah. So I love this song.
40:40 I hope you'll be blessed by it. Amen.
40:42 Beautiful.
40:43 I first saw Angela a few years ago
40:48 on 3ABN on the parent network,
40:50 and I thought I love the way she sings,
40:53 so I'm so glad she's gonna be on Dare to Dream now.
40:55 Yeah, and again as we say
40:57 when you are Christian, you know,
40:58 it's great to be around other folk
41:00 that are happy in the Lord.
41:01 Yes.
41:02 And I mean, I love to be around people who have a good time.
41:04 We are having a good time here today.
41:06 Hope you are at home, if you are not,
41:08 loosen up a little bit.
41:09 That's right.
41:10 Some of you may be like me, white tight.
41:12 Well, loosen up a little bit.
41:13 You don't have to be tight.
41:15 Enjoy this, this is fun.
41:16 She said what? I know, I know.
41:17 And she said what? Oh, my goodness.
41:19 And you are too much, I love it, I love it.
41:22 All right, bless us with your music.
41:23 Amen.
41:42 Mommies and daddies
41:46 Always believe
41:50 That their little angels are special indeed
41:58 And you could grow up
42:02 To be anything
42:07 But who would imagine a king?
42:16 A shepherd or teacher
42:20 Is what you could be
42:24 Or maybe a fisherman
42:28 Out on the sea
42:32 Or maybe a carpenter
42:37 Building things
42:41 But who would imagine a king?
42:50 It was so clear when the wise men arrived
42:57 And the angels were singing
43:02 Your name
43:06 That the world would be different
43:11 For you were alive
43:14 That's why heaven stood still to proclaim
43:24 One day an angel said quietly
43:32 That soon he would bring something special to me
43:40 And of all of the wonderful gifts
43:45 He could bring
43:49 Who would imagine?
43:53 Who could imagine?
43:58 Who would imagine a king?
44:06 Imagine a king?
44:12 A king, oh, yeah.
44:15 Who would imagine a king?
44:20 Born in a manger
44:23 Who would imagine a king?
44:28 Sweet little baby boy
44:31 Who would imagine a king?
44:38 Imagine a king.
44:49 Amen. Amen.
44:50 Beautiful.
44:52 Absolutely beautiful. How beautiful.
44:53 I didn't know that song did you?
44:54 I've heard it, I've heard it one time, it's beautiful.
44:56 All right and that's a great song.
44:57 Dennis, you liked that song? I love that.
44:59 I'm thinking about my children, you know, like you said.
45:02 Well, absolutely. Beautiful.
45:04 Thank you. Beautiful.
45:06 One of the things that, you know,
45:08 we don't often consider is like
45:12 what did we do at Christmas time?
45:14 What's your favorite thing that you did,
45:17 your favorite Christmas memory?
45:19 Let's kind of go round and talk about
45:21 our favorite Christmas memories.
45:22 What's your favorite one, Dan?
45:24 Oh, I liked it all, you know,
45:26 I was young, we have big family,
45:27 we were five kids and mom and dad
45:29 but my dad was disable,
45:31 so we were poor, so we didn't have anything.
45:33 So what we would do, is we would,
45:35 my brothers and I were just kids,
45:36 we'd just put names in a hat and you draw out a name
45:40 and that's who you got a little present for so.
45:42 I remember my brother Ken and I was just got in high school
45:45 and we didn't want to buy each other gifts,
45:47 so we happen to draw each other's name,
45:49 so we just called it even.
45:51 We shoot cans in that way we did it in.
45:54 But it's a family time and having folks
45:57 who love Jesus and though we were poor,
46:00 we had a lot of love in the house.
46:01 I wouldn't trade it.
46:03 I've seen situations the other way round
46:05 where there is not any love,
46:06 but they seem to have all other things,
46:07 but it's a closeness that you bring together
46:10 and then always about the Lord Jesus Christ.
46:12 You know, our folks never let us
46:14 concentrate on the physical things around,
46:17 but they'd always say there is only one reason
46:20 for this season as you know and that's Jesus Christ.
46:23 So I love it, it brings back the warm memories,
46:27 I'm sure as all of us here.
46:29 Yes, what about you, Neville?
46:31 What was your favorite Christmas memory?
46:34 Well, it's interesting that you would say
46:36 that because I...
46:40 It has something to do with my voice and with singing.
46:45 My favorite Christmas memory was when I rediscovered
46:48 that I actually could sing
46:51 in my freshmen year of high school.
46:55 You didn't know until then you could sing?
46:58 When I was a kid...
46:59 Have mercy. When I was...
47:00 Maybe I'm, and hey, it's not too late for me.
47:02 I'm starting to get excited now here.
47:05 Maybe today I'll start singing
47:06 and it will just sound like him,
47:07 I'm realizing, maybe yeah.
47:10 Oh, when I was about...
47:11 But just got to have patience. Sorry.
47:12 When I was about five or six,
47:14 I used to sing in church a lot
47:15 and I really enjoyed it
47:17 but I got tease from my friends,
47:18 you know, they...
47:20 Oh.
47:21 So I stopped for a long time.
47:23 I just never sang, you know,
47:25 and so when I came to high school now
47:30 and I'm a freshman in high school,
47:33 I on a whim just decided that
47:35 I would sing silent night
47:36 at the Christmas program and so I did.
47:39 And I was really like amazed that the response
47:44 that I got because all I,
47:45 you know, I remembered being teased like.
47:48 So once I got that response I was like, you know what?
47:51 This might be a good career option.
47:54 This could be a good career option for me.
47:56 So had I not had that experience,
47:58 I probably might have not even been here today.
48:00 So that's probably my favorite Christmas memory.
48:02 Oh, it's great. Wonderful.
48:03 Oh, great. Thanks.
48:05 Shirley, what about you?
48:07 Oh, my, well,
48:08 my favorite memories have to do with spending time
48:15 with my dad
48:18 and with him and my siblings,
48:22 we spend our holiday Christmas time giving.
48:27 Daddy is no longer with us, he's deceased,
48:33 but that memory lives on and so,
48:36 this time of the year is particularly special for me
48:39 as I recount, relived those moments,
48:43 you know, we traveled often,
48:44 he was a missionary and we,
48:47 wherever we went,
48:49 this was what we did during this time
48:53 and I continue to do that, so that's my special place.
48:57 Oh, that's great.
48:59 John?
49:00 Well, my biggest Christmas memories
49:03 or favorite Christmas memories surround music,
49:05 of course, I'm like Neville,
49:07 but I remember, anybody remember record players?
49:09 Oh, yes.
49:11 There were certain records that only came out
49:14 at Christmas time.
49:16 So I would always look forward to those times,
49:18 the old Big Bang Records,
49:19 we listen to our big bang music in my house
49:21 so that was special.
49:22 And we did something,
49:24 did anybody else decorate your house
49:27 with the Christmas cards from the previous year?
49:29 Is that just me? Okay.
49:30 From the previous year?
49:32 From the previous year, so my mother would collect
49:33 whenever we received Christmas card,
49:35 she would keep them and then, yeah,
49:37 we lived in this little row house in Philadelphia
49:39 and she would decorate the arches by taping up...
49:42 Okay.
49:43 You know, that was part of the decorations
49:45 along with the other decorations.
49:46 But that just always stood out to me
49:48 because I though that was such a unique thing.
49:50 So those were two of the things that stood out for me.
49:52 Oh, that's great.
49:53 Growing after the Christmas.
49:55 Lyndon?
49:56 Oh, you know, what I'm gonna say.
49:57 Mine revolves around food.
49:59 Food. Yeah.
50:02 My mom used to make the best orange rolls.
50:05 But now that I am getting older,
50:08 I just had my daughter and then my son,
50:11 so those Christmas memories are just like
50:15 solidified in my mind
50:16 more than ever, than any other memory
50:18 just having my kids.
50:20 Oh, that's great.
50:22 Angela, what about you?
50:23 I've the piggy bag off of Lyndon
50:24 'cause I love decent food.
50:26 Okay. Yeah.
50:27 And as a child I remember me, my mom and my sister,
50:30 we will be in the kitchen
50:32 all night the night before Christmas baking palm cake,
50:35 that's my specialty,
50:36 she taught me my southern roots.
50:38 All right.
50:39 All right. All right.
50:40 And corn bread stuff. Oh.
50:42 Look at her, she's living it...
50:43 You can't cheat, you got to start from scratch.
50:46 But no, Christmas was about good,
50:49 that comfort food as well as singing.
50:52 My mom and my sister and myself,
50:54 we sang in the trio,
50:55 and so it was always singing those carols,
50:58 and getting back to the roots,
51:00 the traditional way of singing and it was great.
51:02 I remember good food,
51:04 good music and just good times.
51:06 Oh, that's great.
51:07 Den, what about you?
51:09 See my mom passed away two years ago at 92,
51:13 that ain't bad, she made it to 92
51:15 and just a memories of the family
51:18 always being together, my grandmother,
51:20 my aunts, my uncles
51:22 and I'm grateful to say that I'm from a Christian family
51:26 because recently I found, I went back to Detroit,
51:29 I came back and I found this picture
51:32 that my mother had and it was,
51:34 let's see, maybe 300 little kids
51:37 sitting in Sunday school
51:40 and in the very back at the room
51:42 was my mom holding me.
51:44 Okay. All right.
51:45 So just those, just those times
51:48 with my family always being together.
51:50 Yeah.
51:51 Yeah, we would do, we cook, we go to church and just,
51:53 you know, just the family being together,
51:55 and the other thing on the other note,
51:58 the chipmunks singing the great Christmas song.
52:01 Christmas, Christmas time is here.
52:02 Oh, my God, that did it to me. Yes.
52:07 Oh, that's good, that's good.
52:08 Yvonne? I have a couple.
52:11 One was the family thing of course,
52:14 'cause that's when my whole family
52:17 lived in one complex
52:19 when I was growing up in Queens, New York
52:21 and when I was, till I was about 10 and so,
52:25 we would get together and there would be music
52:27 and of course, food 'cause I'm a foodie too.
52:29 And the other thing was my grandmother.
52:32 Christmas time for me,
52:34 my grandmother would always do excerpts from Messiah.
52:38 And so every Christmas I just love hearing the Messiah
52:42 because it reminds me of her, and Dennis and I used to sing.
52:44 Sometimes we would get together and just take a score
52:47 and just sing the Messiah like on the Friday night.
52:50 It was just, it's so to me,
52:52 just this time of year
52:54 when we really think about Jesus
52:56 and really zero in on the fact that He came,
53:00 as Angela just said earlier to this earth,
53:03 here from paradise, He came for us.
53:06 So my memories have to do with food and music.
53:11 Yvonne, we've traded stories in the background.
53:15 Mine, we were raise poor, she was Leave it to Beaver.
53:18 Any of you remember the show.
53:19 Remember the show Leave it to Beaver.
53:21 We had seven people in two bedrooms,
53:25 she had four people in five bedrooms
53:28 or something like that, you know.
53:30 And two kids in five bedrooms and we have five with two.
53:33 Anyway we just,
53:35 something about that didn't sound right...
53:36 Oh, my goodness.
53:37 But she had to Leave it to Beaver.
53:39 Did any of you folks,
53:40 you ever go Christmas caroling
53:42 when you growing up your churches...
53:43 Now we used to go all the time but we would take
53:46 'cause it gets cold here in Southern Illinois
53:48 so we would take reel to reel recorders.
53:50 Now you remember those too, right?
53:52 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
53:53 Take little reel to reel
53:54 and they would take them and put them in,
53:56 they plug it in and use it off for battery
53:58 and put a little horn on the car...
53:59 Yeah, that's right.
54:00 So that we covered all the towns,
54:02 Benld and West Frankfort and all those.
54:04 We'd start like right after Thanksgiving
54:06 and we go Christmas caroling
54:08 and so that was a good memory too.
54:11 Now for some of us like my brothers didn't want to go,
54:13 so my folks gave them option,
54:15 you want to go or you want to whopping,
54:16 you know, so at first night
54:19 they refused and took the whopping and by then,
54:22 it was my dad was pretty good at,
54:23 he knew how to, he wouldn't spank
54:25 and or whipping as whopping.
54:26 Whooping
54:28 There is a difference in case you don't know,
54:29 some of you know,
54:30 but after that he decide to go Christmas camp.
54:33 But I loved it and it was fun.
54:35 In fact we would raise all that,
54:37 try to see houses lid up
54:38 'cause we try to get the most money,
54:40 we made competition.
54:41 It wasn't for us,
54:43 we've always given for the church dinner,
54:44 everybody in the community, in the cities around knew,
54:47 when the Christmas time come Seventh-day Adventist church,
54:49 they are gonna be out there, taking up funds
54:51 and we would do at King's Heralds,
54:53 I think was, was singing on those reel to reel tapes.
54:56 And once in a while we would get out
54:57 and try to sing if it wasn't snow on or cold
54:59 or too windy, you know,
55:01 go to the doors and people have,
55:02 all are those are just great memories
55:04 when you look back.
55:06 Yeah, it's so good to think about, you know,
55:09 where we've come from,
55:10 where God has brought us thus far
55:12 and also know that
55:14 God's got a plan for each of us.
55:16 And you need to know that God has a plan for you.
55:19 We talk about it all the time on Dare to Dream
55:22 but at this time of the year really consider
55:25 what God has done in your life
55:26 and the amazing sacrifice
55:28 that he has made on your behalf just for you.
55:32 And when you think about that and you just, it just,
55:35 actually, you know, they have studies that show
55:37 that the brain actually lights up
55:40 when we start thinking about God.
55:42 And so when we contemplate His greatness, our minds,
55:46 actually our brains literally change.
55:49 We need to really think about the goodness of God.
55:52 I talked to someone just yesterday
55:53 and they were talking about the past
55:55 and I said, I'm more interested in the future
55:58 than I'm on the past 'cause we all don't have,
56:00 you know, we can look at the past
56:02 but I like there is a statement by lady name Ellen White,
56:05 and she says we have nothing to fear for the future
56:08 if we just look back to the past
56:09 to see where God has led us.
56:10 Amen. Amen.
56:12 So when we look at the future, it's very bright.
56:13 Yes.
56:15 In fact could we say it's out of this world, right?
56:16 Come on, come on, I like it.
56:18 And I love it because people get,
56:19 yeah, thank you.
56:21 People get just little organ over here
56:24 and but people get discourage,
56:26 you know, Christians and I say we shouldn't be discouraged,
56:29 we should be the happiest,
56:30 most excited people on the face of planet earth.
56:32 Yes.
56:33 So I've said this before but I say it again,
56:35 I tell people it's like you, people go to the book store,
56:38 they buy this book and they read the back of it,
56:41 and it says, John and Mary rode off into the sunset
56:43 happily ever after.
56:44 Now it's 200 pages long, 100 page in,
56:47 you are reading it,
56:49 John and Mary they were riding on a horses,
56:51 they fell off because we ride horses around here.
56:53 They fell off a cliff
56:54 and they are hanging on a cliff,
56:55 it's 2000 feet down,
56:57 looks like there is no getting out.
56:59 But you don't get discourage and say,
57:00 oh, no John and Mary is gonna die, why?
57:03 'Cause you read the back of the book.
57:05 So in our own Christian life with the Lord
57:08 no matter where we are,
57:09 we've read the back of the book.
57:11 Revelation says and they overcame him
57:13 by the blood of the lamb...
57:14 And the word of the testimony.
57:15 Yes.
57:17 So we should be happy and excited
57:18 and people have to know it.
57:20 When they see Jesus in us, that's what they want.
57:22 None of us have anything to offer of ourselves,
57:25 but through Jesus Christ,
57:27 and that's amazing to me that He can use frail human agent.
57:30 He doesn't need us to save anybody.
57:32 We can't cave anybody, right?
57:34 That's right.
57:35 But the honor and the blessing is
57:36 He's willing to use us for our own salvation.
57:40 That way I'm not just worried about me,
57:41 myself and I, right?
57:43 But otherwise you get too caught up in your own...
57:45 But now you understand, hey, he said your own,
57:48 you know, our own personal asset,
57:50 our greatest assets is our own testimonies
57:53 what Jesus had done for us.
57:54 So He said, go ye into all the world.
57:57 The blessing of God for those of you at home,
57:59 the blessing of God, don't sit around,
58:01 feel sorry for yourself...
58:02 The blessing of God is on the go.
58:04 Go ye into all the world.
58:06 When you go, God will open the waters,
58:08 part the waters, they rules army be behind,
58:10 your mountains on either side,
58:11 you step into the water, the waters of faith
58:14 and you watch what God wants to do for you,
58:16 something great, and mighty,
58:17 and marvelous when you come in the name of the Lord.
58:19 Amen. Amen.
58:22 See I love how you do that. Wow.
58:24 Don't embarrass me now, you know.
58:27 What a blessing. What a blessing.
58:29 Lyndon, we haven't heard from you yet.
58:31 Oh, that's okay. No, no, no.
58:33 There is so much talent that needs to be on Magnify Him.
58:37 That is not okay,
58:39 one of the world's greatest singers right him,
58:41 we give God the credit for it.
58:42 Praise the Lord. Amen.
58:44 And the musician too. Amen.
58:45 Not just singer, a great musician.
58:46 Thank you.
58:48 You gonna sing for us, the angel song?
58:49 I'm going to sing, I walk over here,
58:52 I'm gonna sing a song that I wrote
58:54 and it's along the lines of what

59:12 'cause Jesus is coming back again, so...
59:14 Yes, He is.
59:15 That's what I'm gonna sing as I walk over here.
59:16 It just says glory to God in the highest.

01:07:42 Jesus is the light of the world.
01:07:43 Yes, He is. Yes, He is.
01:07:45 My dad use to say,
01:07:46 "Son, it doesn't take a rocket scientist
01:07:47 to figure out who we are and who God is."
01:07:49 Amen.
01:07:51 It's really not that difficult, we're gonna...
01:07:53 Everybody on earth is born terminal.
01:07:55 All right.
01:07:57 No, I don't care where you come from,
01:07:58 what your background is, what color you are,
01:07:59 everybody is born terminal.
01:08:01 There is only one answer for this world's problems today
01:08:03 and that's the Lord Jesus Christ,
01:08:05 creator of all heaven and earth.
01:08:07 So He is the light of the world.

01:08:20 Absolutely. You believe that, Shirley?
01:08:22 I believe. You believe.
01:08:24 Yes, she do.
01:08:25 And Shirley is gonna sing for us "I believe."
01:08:45 In a land far away time stood still
01:08:51 Long ago there were shepherds in fields
01:08:57 Or at least this is how the story goes
01:09:05 The story goes
01:09:11 Woman with child
01:09:15 And a man with no room
01:09:20 Born in a manger for telling it too
01:09:27 This is how the story goes
01:09:35 But it's more than a fable
01:09:39 Yes, it's more than a fairytale
01:09:45 More than my mind
01:09:50 Can conceive
01:09:53 I believe the wise men saw
01:09:59 The baby boy The angels called
01:10:03 The Son of God Heaven's child,
01:10:10 The great I am
01:10:14 Born to take away my sin
01:10:18 Through nailed pierced hands
01:10:21 Emmanuel has come
01:10:31 I believe
01:10:38 Two thousand years
01:10:42 Still the story lives on
01:10:47 God's gift to earth wrapped in flesh
01:10:52 Sent to us His only son,
01:10:58 His only son
01:11:03 And the heartbeat of heaven
01:11:08 Confounded our wisdom
01:11:11 But it's still the simple truth
01:11:16 That sets me free
01:11:19 I believe the wise men saw the baby boy
01:11:26 The angels called the Son of God
01:11:32 Heaven's child, the great I am
01:11:39 Born to take away my sin through nailed pierced hands
01:11:46 Emmanuel has come
01:11:52 Yes, I believe
01:12:00 Precious child how can it be
01:12:06 That God's great plan for His story
01:12:12 Would send you
01:12:15 To the lonely tree
01:12:21 That you would come for one like me
01:12:28 I believe in a cross
01:12:34 I believe He came for one He came for all
01:12:41 Heavens child became a man
01:12:48 Born to take away my sin
01:12:51 through nailed pierced hand
01:12:55 I believe
01:13:01 Yes, I believe I believe
01:13:08 His truth lives in me
01:13:17 Yes, I believe
01:13:30 I believe.
01:13:35 Amen. Amen.
01:13:36 Praise the Lord. Thank you.

01:17:23 Let's change the key here, John, take it up.
01:17:25 My verse, listen to this.
01:17:27 When Jesus came the first time
01:17:29 All right.
01:17:31 The people they didn't know
01:17:36 That this time, next time he will be coming
01:17:40 The coming back again
01:17:42 That's why we got to tell it
01:17:45 Tell it on the mountains
01:17:48 Over the hills and everywhere
01:17:53 Go, tell it on the mountain Tell it on the mountain
01:17:57 That Jesus Christ is born
01:18:01 Go, go, go Tell it on the mountain
01:18:04 Tell it on the mountain
01:18:07 Over the hills and everywhere
01:18:11 Go, tell it on the mountain
01:18:15 That Jesus Christ is born
01:18:19 That Jesus Christ is born
01:18:24 That Jesus Christ is born.
01:18:39 All right. Yay!
01:18:41 Come on. Amen, amen.
01:18:43 All right. Yes, indeed.
01:18:44 You may have to do another one, that was so good.
01:18:46 Oh, yeah, that was good. That was so good.
01:18:49 So can I help you out in this next one?
01:18:51 All right. all right.
01:18:52 All right. Come on.
01:18:54 That's fun.
01:18:56 There you go. Wow.
01:18:59 You enjoying this as much as I am?
01:19:01 Yes. Oh, this is great.
01:19:03 I hope the folks at home,
01:19:04 I hope you are enjoying this as much as we are.
01:19:05 John, you were having fun.
01:19:07 No, no, this is where I'm here to do a job.
01:19:09 Hey, I'm the one, I'm the one that is having fun.
01:19:11 No, I don't believe you, you were having fun, I saw you.
01:19:13 No, no fun allowed. No fun allowed.
01:19:15 I saw him having fun.
01:19:17 I don't care what he says, you were having fun.
01:19:18 But we'll talk about that later.
01:19:20 All right.
01:19:21 Well, this song I'm gonna do is a song called "Mary song"
01:19:25 and it's a song, kind of like from Mary's perspective,
01:19:32 and just talks about the fact
01:19:34 that God's perfect plan really is
01:19:38 and was to send Jesus,
01:19:40 and that Jesus truly is the desire of all the ages.
01:20:01 Away in a stable
01:20:07 Along time ago
01:20:10 Was a mother with child
01:20:15 No man she had known
01:20:19 Mocked by so many
01:20:23 And feeling alone on earth to deliver
01:20:31 God's own
01:20:39 And then came the savior
01:20:44 Our God and our king
01:20:48 Sent from above
01:20:52 To reclaim and redeem
01:20:57 This was the purpose
01:21:01 For which she was called
01:21:05 To deliver the best gift of all
01:21:10 God's perfect plan
01:21:14 In all its stages
01:21:21 Reveals to man
01:21:26 The desire of ages
01:21:31 All right.
01:21:37 And then in that stable
01:21:41 Her heart filled with joy
01:21:46 Because of the gift
01:21:50 Of her beautiful boy
01:21:55 God in the flesh
01:21:58 Would dwell among men
01:22:02 To suffer and pay for their sins
01:22:08 God's perfect plan
01:22:12 In all its stages
01:22:18 Reveals to man
01:22:24 The desire of ages
01:22:34 When Jesus was born
01:22:38 The world did not know
01:22:42 Messiah and King to across
01:22:48 He would go
01:22:51 But He's coming back, yeah
01:22:55 But not as a lamb
01:22:59 Are you ready to meet the I am
01:23:05 God's perfect plan
01:23:09 In all its stages
01:23:15 Reveals to man
01:23:21 The desire of ages
01:23:29 Oh, God's perfect plan
01:23:34 In all its stages
01:23:40 Reveals to man
01:23:46 The desire of ages
01:24:05 Amen. Amen.
01:24:06 Beautiful absolutely, thank you.
01:24:10 The desire of ages.
01:24:12 Speaking of the desire of ages...
01:24:13 It almost sounds like a book title, doesn't it?
01:24:15 It does, I was gonna say it.
01:24:16 I mean that is just one of our favorite books too,
01:24:18 The Desire of Ages. Absolutely. How beautiful.
01:24:21 You wrote that song...
01:24:22 Yes. I guess.
01:24:24 That was beautiful.
01:24:25 Can you give him his microphone, there you go.
01:24:27 So you wrote that song? Yes.
01:24:28 Now that desire of ages
01:24:30 that didn't come from the thought
01:24:31 about the book, did it?
01:24:33 Actually it did,
01:24:34 I have to tell the truth. Yeah, it did, it did.
01:24:37 But it fits in beautifully. It does.
01:24:39 Absolutely love it. It does.
01:24:41 Let me ask you guys something.
01:24:43 When you think about Christmas, the time of course,
01:24:45 you think about giving,
01:24:48 what for each of you would be the best gift
01:24:52 that you can imagine?
01:24:54 Let's start with Lyndon.
01:24:55 Why would you pick me, Yvonne?
01:24:58 No, I would say my time.
01:25:02 Okay. My time is the biggest thing.
01:25:06 I like to play tennis,
01:25:08 I like to do a bunch of other stuff
01:25:10 but giving my time, giving myself,
01:25:14 that's what God requires of us.
01:25:16 And I think that's the biggest thing
01:25:18 that anybody can give is their time.
01:25:20 Okay. Okay.
01:25:21 Good. What about you, sis?
01:25:23 This is my turn.
01:25:25 Giving all that I am to God,
01:25:28 and that means not just between me and Him
01:25:31 but, you know, horizontally giving of service to mankind,
01:25:35 no matter what that looks like.
01:25:37 I think that's so important 'cause that's what Christ did.
01:25:40 He gave up so much and while He was here,
01:25:41 He was serving us.
01:25:43 Yeah.
01:25:44 You know, what I'm saying He was down with the lowly,
01:25:45 He was hanging with hood.
01:25:49 He was one of us,
01:25:50 and I try to remember that when dealing with people
01:25:53 that I don't get to the point
01:25:55 while I'm looking down at others
01:25:56 but I'm giving them that
01:25:58 same type of love and compassion
01:25:59 that Christ gave then and still gives me now.
01:26:02 That's right. Amen.
01:26:03 So we are talking about either the greatest gift
01:26:07 you can give
01:26:08 or the greatest gift you can receive.
01:26:10 Yeah. Either way.
01:26:12 For me, if I could be in full time ministry
01:26:20 and I don't mean like the way we know it traditionally,
01:26:23 but just every, to have the time to do worship,
01:26:27 to have the time to do Bible study.
01:26:29 Not have to like do that after you work.
01:26:32 Okay. Right.
01:26:34 But to be able to do that full time,
01:26:36 like we use to talk about this kind of stuff years ago.
01:26:39 I think that would, if I could, you know,
01:26:41 if I could go to fantasy island,
01:26:43 there was a show, you guys don't remember that.
01:26:45 Yeah.
01:26:46 And then, you know, you could just do it
01:26:48 in not any traditional way
01:26:49 but just live that as you walk out your house,
01:26:52 as you see somebody at the store.
01:26:54 You know, 'cause I was sick in the other day.
01:26:57 People, when Christ was with,
01:27:00 like you said hanging out with the people, we know,
01:27:02 we read the bible and it doesn't say,
01:27:04 He got up in their face and He told them this.
01:27:08 He would turn in around and ask them a question
01:27:11 and quietly they would be like waiting for him
01:27:13 to give them some heavy,
01:27:14 and He would give him something heavy
01:27:16 but it would be like, oh, I wasn't expecting it to come.
01:27:18 Yeah.
01:27:19 So there was a gentleness in a way that He float,
01:27:22 and I think, you know,
01:27:24 more of that would be what I like to do.
01:27:26 Good.
01:27:28 Sorry I went on but...
01:27:29 No, no, no, no, no, we want you to.
01:27:31 That's great.
01:27:32 One night I was, just picked up my guitar,
01:27:35 do that a lot of times at night,
01:27:36 I was just playing a little bit,
01:27:38 And I said Lord, I want to give you something
01:27:39 but I don't know what to give you.
01:27:41 What in the world do you give to creator of the universe
01:27:44 who created the world, who created us,
01:27:46 and then I heard this little small still voice say,
01:27:49 all my praise,
01:27:51 I give you all my praise.
01:27:54 Yeah.
01:27:55 That's all I have to offer you
01:27:59 I now build a sanctuary
01:28:03 Deep within my heart
01:28:05 And all my praise, I offer up to you
01:28:10 Amen.
01:28:11 So the Lord gave me this little chorus,
01:28:13 just all my praise, I offer Him.
01:28:15 So I said hey, that's all I've got to give God.
01:28:18 Amen. Amen.
01:28:19 And hence, He inhabits the praises...
01:28:20 Yes, He does. Of His people.
01:28:22 Yes, yes, awesome.
01:28:23 I've been thinking about this question recently
01:28:26 because I think a lot of times
01:28:28 we are looking for something profound to give.
01:28:33 You know, like you were talking to God saying that
01:28:34 what can I give you,
01:28:36 you're thinking of these big things,
01:28:38 and what hit me recently is I think we take for granted.
01:28:41 You know, we are musicians
01:28:42 and we've grown up singing and so on.
01:28:45 But this thing that we have that God gave us,
01:28:47 this music is something that is really a precious gift.
01:28:52 And when you meet people who share with you,
01:28:54 oh, man I went through such and such
01:28:56 and I listen to your song and it was a blessing to me
01:28:59 or where I was feeling down that day
01:29:01 and that song that you sang, you know, lifted me.
01:29:04 It's just a reminder to me that to return the gifts...
01:29:10 That's it.
01:29:12 That I've been given is one of the greatest things
01:29:13 that you can do.
01:29:15 Obviously we've all been given these gifts
01:29:16 but when we get a chance to do
01:29:18 like we share like we're sharing today
01:29:21 and bless the people who are watching,
01:29:24 I think that's one of the greatest gifts
01:29:25 we can do is just sort of operate in the gift
01:29:28 that you've been given.
01:29:29 Amen. Amen, amen.
01:29:31 All right.
01:29:33 Well, considering the urgency of the times that we live in,
01:29:37 it is truly my soul's desire to see souls saved.
01:29:43 Yes.
01:29:45 And so, if in giving of myself in service,
01:29:49 seeing others give themselves to Christ,
01:29:53 I think that's the ultimate gift.
01:29:54 Yes. Amen.
01:29:56 Neville, what about you?
01:29:57 I will say that the ultimate gift
01:29:59 that we can give God is ourselves
01:30:03 and when I say ourselves, I really mean like our will
01:30:08 because, you know, we live in a world today
01:30:14 where everybody wants to be true to themselves
01:30:19 and we say be true to yourself and...
01:30:23 You know, I've spent a lot of time
01:30:24 thinking about that,
01:30:26 but at the end of the day I realize
01:30:29 that instead of being true to self,
01:30:31 we need to be true to Christ.
01:30:32 That's right. Yes.
01:30:34 And being true to Christ at times
01:30:36 may require us to deny ourselves...
01:30:39 Come on, come on now.
01:30:41 I know and Jesus Himself said it, He said, you know,
01:30:44 pick up your cross, you know, if you want to be My disciple,
01:30:47 you have to pick up your cross,
01:30:49 you have to deny yourself and you have to follow Me.
01:30:53 And so, the more I think about it,
01:30:56 I realize more and more
01:30:58 that I can't be about the business
01:31:00 of being true to the way I think
01:31:02 or the way I feel
01:31:04 or being true to my own opinions about things...
01:31:06 That's right.
01:31:08 I need to find out what God thinks,
01:31:09 how He feels it.
01:31:11 I need to begin looking at things
01:31:12 from His perspective, you know.
01:31:14 Absolutely.
01:31:15 And sometimes those things will challenge you to the core,
01:31:18 I mean to the very core.
01:31:20 So that's what I want to give God, you know,
01:31:25 my desire is to give Him myself,
01:31:27 my will, my, you know, my heart.
01:31:30 Amen.
01:31:31 The devil glamorizes the self,
01:31:32 all these magazines in the last 15, 20 years
01:31:36 more then ever, all about self, all about me,
01:31:39 you know, and everybody to do take care of me
01:31:42 when really it's just the opposite, right?
01:31:43 It's right.
01:31:44 We're supposed to go tell the world about Jesus and...
01:31:46 It's all about Him.
01:31:47 And right,
01:31:49 tell them about God's saving grace and His power.
01:31:52 What we got to do is some more music.
01:31:53 Here our time is running away. I know, I know.
01:31:55 John is gonna sing for us. All right.
01:31:59 We are so blessed to have him.
01:32:01 Love it, what a touch he has on the keyboard.
01:32:04 Yes, yes.
01:32:05 That didn't come all at once, that's taken a lifetime.
01:32:07 Need a little time practicing.
01:32:09 And this song, we were talking earlier
01:32:11 about our memories of Christmas.
01:32:13 So this song is sort of my stories of Christmas memory
01:32:17 that we turn into a song
01:32:18 and we're gonna get a chance to share with you,
01:32:20 it's called "Only on Christmas Day."
01:32:39 There in the kitchen in front of the stove
01:32:44 Grandma's cooking
01:32:47 She's got food on her clothes
01:32:50 I smell turkey and dressing
01:32:53 And my favorite apple pie
01:32:56 And she seasons the moment
01:32:59 With the tear in her eye
01:33:02 And that fill her emotion
01:33:05 Because the meaning of Christmas
01:33:11 Changed what she was
01:33:14 Only on Christmas day
01:33:20 She found the star to show her the way
01:33:26 To the cross and the prize that He paid
01:33:32 To give her this hope on this Christmas day
01:33:38 Then for the first time It all became clear
01:33:44 There was much more than this day
01:33:47 Than just the snow and reindeer
01:33:50 More than the sleigh bells, the carols and gifts
01:33:56 Because He took our sorrows for much more than this
01:34:02 And it marks the beginning of my new life
01:34:08 That I'll live forever because He lived to die
01:34:15 Only on Christmas day
01:34:20 I found the star to show me the way
01:34:26 To the cross and the prize that He paid
01:34:32 To give me this hope on this Christmas day
01:34:38 Now you can take all the praise ends
01:34:41 The holly the tree
01:34:44 Just give me Jesus for eternity
01:35:14 Only on Christmas day
01:35:20 I found the star to show me the way
01:35:26 To the cross and the prize that He paid
01:35:32 To give me this hope
01:35:36 On this Christmas day
01:35:44 I found the star to show me the way
01:35:50 To the cross and the prize that he paid
01:35:57 To give me this hope
01:36:08 I found the star to show me the way
01:36:14 To the cross and the prize that He paid
01:36:20 To give me this hope on this Christmas
01:36:28 This Christmas day
01:36:35 Amen, amen.
01:36:38 Hallelujah. Only on Christmas day.
01:36:40 Amen. Amen.
01:36:42 I like that, I like that. I love that.
01:36:44 Yvonne, I can't believe our time is almost gone.
01:36:47 Where did it go?
01:36:48 I don't know, we've been having fun.
01:36:49 We have.
01:36:51 But we got little more music before this program is over.
01:36:52 Where are we going next? Lyndon is gonna sing for us.
01:36:55 Oh, all right.
01:37:10 Have yourself a blessed little Christmas
01:37:17 Christ the King is born
01:37:24 Let your voices ring
01:37:28 Upon this happy morn
01:37:36 Have yourself
01:37:42 A blessed little Christmas
01:37:46 Serenade the Earth
01:37:53 Tell the world we celebrate
01:37:58 Our Savior's birth
01:38:08 Let us gather to sing to Him
01:38:13 And to bring to Him
01:38:17 Our praise
01:38:21 Son of God and a Friend of all
01:38:27 To the end of all
01:38:31 Our days
01:38:36 Let us all proclaim the joyous tidings
01:38:44 Voices raised on high
01:38:51 Send this carol
01:38:55 Soaring up into the sky
01:39:03 This very merry
01:39:09 Blessed Christmas lullaby
01:39:19 Have yourself
01:39:22 A blessed little Christmas
01:39:26 Serenade the Earth
01:39:31 And tell the world that we celebrate
01:39:36 A Savior's birth
01:39:44 Let us gather to sing to Him
01:39:49 And to bring to Him our praise
01:39:57 Son of God and a Friend of all
01:40:02 To the end of all our days
01:40:10 Sing hosannas, hymns
01:40:14 And hallelujahs
01:40:18 As to Him we bow
01:40:24 Make the music mighty
01:40:29 As the heav'ns allow
01:40:38 And have yourself
01:40:45 A blessed little Christmas
01:40:51 Now
01:41:03 Amen.
01:41:05 Amen. Amen. Amen.
01:41:06 Amen.
01:41:09 Unreal, unreal...
01:41:11 Addition to go home.
01:41:12 That's not even, that's not even fair.
01:41:15 Who it's not fair, say me highness?
01:41:17 Who that, it ain't me, right?
01:41:19 Yes, yeah. Please don't say it's me...
01:41:20 It is you. No, it's not.
01:41:23 So I'd say, I'm really speechless.
01:41:24 I almost, she was reaching down for her shoe like,
01:41:27 she was gonna hit you from behind.
01:41:29 Yeah. And on that...
01:41:30 Do you want to know, you know...
01:41:32 But you know what?
01:41:33 Angela would do the same thing when you sing.
01:41:35 You should do. Oh, no...
01:41:36 Lyndon, can I borrow your range about five minutes.
01:41:39 Can I just get your range for five minutes?
01:41:41 As you all have one thing in common,
01:41:44 you have an anointing on your music
01:41:46 and on your ministry.
01:41:48 And that's what makes it.
01:41:49 Absolutely, so you are next, you get...
01:41:52 Yeah, no, work for real, there you go.
01:41:54 Just, there you go.
01:41:55 And you are gonna bless us with songs.
01:41:57 Oh, because God had blessed me.
01:41:58 This is one of my favorite songs.
01:41:59 So I'm gonna go hover by John.
01:42:02 Okay, all right. Oh, good.
01:42:03 Because John's agreed to play with me...
01:42:04 All right. There you go. Play for me.
01:42:07 I love this intimate moments where we get to share,
01:42:09 we haven't got a chance to do this in a long time,
01:42:11 so I'm looking forward to it.

01:47:04 Beautiful, Angela. I'm telling you...
01:47:07 This is incredible.
01:47:08 And what a great song too, another great song.
01:47:10 I know, I love that song,
01:47:11 one of my favorite lines is the child
01:47:14 that you deliver will soon deliver you.
01:47:16 That's right. Yeah.
01:47:18 Is that not a powerful line?
01:47:19 Yeah. It's powerful.
01:47:20 That's beautiful.
01:47:22 Den, you gonna sing for us again?
01:47:23 Your turn, Dennis.
01:47:24 Powerful at the same time.
01:47:27 Yes, yes, powerful.
01:47:28 You guys been hanging out too long together...
01:47:30 That's right. You can talk to him right now.
01:47:32 That's right, that's right for sure.
01:47:34 What you're gonna be singing for us?
01:47:36 "The fist Noel."
01:47:37 Fist Noel. Okay, we look forward to that.
01:47:39 Yes.
01:47:40 Well, Yvonne, just time just keeps running away,
01:47:43 it's become our enemy tonight, hasn't it?
01:47:44 I know, but you know what, Dan?
01:47:46 This is to me, this is such a blessing
01:47:48 because music speaks to the heart, to your soul.
01:47:52 It does things that just mere words can't do.
01:47:55 So we hope that you are enjoying this
01:47:58 as much as we are,
01:47:59 and we hope that you are being blessed
01:48:01 and transported in the heavenly places like we are.
01:48:04 Absolutely.
01:48:21 The First Noel the angels did say
01:48:28 Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
01:48:34 In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
01:48:41 On a cold winter's night that was so deep
01:48:48 Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
01:48:55 Born is the King of Israel!
01:49:02 They looked up and saw a star
01:49:08 Shining in the East beyond them far
01:49:15 And to the earth it gave great light
01:49:22 And so it continued both day and night
01:49:29 Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
01:49:36 Born is the King of Israel!
01:49:42 Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
01:49:49 Born is the King of Israel!
01:49:59 Noel, Noel
01:50:03 Born is the King of Israel!
01:50:10 Noel, Noel
01:50:17 Born is the King of Israel!
01:50:26 Noel, Noel
01:50:30 Born is the King of Israel!
01:50:42 Amen. Amen.
01:50:43 Amen.
01:50:44 Thank you, Dennis, absolutely beautiful,
01:50:46 what a great song to...
01:50:47 I know, it's a...
01:50:48 You can't have Christmas time without the First Noel.
01:50:51 I know, absolutely.
01:50:53 Speaking of Christmas time, look at this time,
01:50:55 what do we do?
01:50:56 Let's do a couple, maybe a little choruses,
01:50:58 have the folks at home sing with us if they want to.
01:51:01 Yes. Let's do a silent night.
01:51:02 Silent night.
01:51:04 Let's do it, you join with us at home now.
01:51:14 Silent night
01:51:19 Holy night!
01:51:24 All is calm
01:51:30 All is bright
01:51:35 Round yon Virgin
01:51:40 Mother and Child
01:51:46 Holy infant
01:51:50 So tender and mild
01:51:57 Sleep in heavenly peace
01:52:08 Sleep in heavenly peace
01:52:17 Lyndon, sing this verse.
01:52:20 Silent night
01:52:26 Holy night!
01:52:32 Shepherds quake
01:52:36 At the sight
01:52:42 Glories stream
01:52:47 From heaven afar
01:52:53 Heavenly hosts singing
01:52:59 Hallelujah
01:53:04 Christ the Savior is born!
01:53:16 Christ the Savior is born
01:53:25 Amen. Amen.
01:53:27 I think Yvonne Lewis should have to sing this verse.
01:53:30 Oh, my goodness.
01:53:34 Silent night
01:53:40 Holy night!
01:53:46 Son of God
01:53:51 Love's pure light
01:53:57 Radiant beams
01:54:03 From Thy holy face
01:54:09 With the dawn
01:54:12 Of redeeming grace
01:54:20 Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
01:54:34 Jesus Lord
01:54:39 At Thy birth
01:54:52 Come down, Dennis, that deserves a bump.
01:54:54 Praise him. That was good.
01:54:56 You put me on the spot. Oh, that's all right.
01:54:58 That's all right. Amen.
01:55:00 It's about time you've been sitting here
01:55:02 all humbled in everything.
01:55:04 This woman has seven or eight golden platinum records
01:55:07 from singing with Whitney Houston,
01:55:09 and Luther Vandross, and Roberta
01:55:11 and all of those and CA Murray said,
01:55:13 let's go to her house when we first met her.
01:55:15 I want to show you all these,
01:55:16 and we go in and guess where they are.
01:55:17 We can't find them. They're in her closet.
01:55:20 And is said, Yvonne, you don't want to fit
01:55:22 and she said, no, that's all old stuff,
01:55:23 that's passed, that's not important.
01:55:25 And she wouldn't bring them to the office,
01:55:27 she won't hang them up.
01:55:28 She just says, that's nothing, Dare to Dream
01:55:31 is what I'm created to be and, yeah...
01:55:34 Amen. Praise the Lord. Yeah. Thank you so much.
01:55:37 We only have about a minute or so,
01:55:38 why don't we instead of maybe going out
01:55:41 with another song, why don't we just have
01:55:42 a prayer for the folk today.
01:55:44 And Neville, I'm gonna ask you to say a prayer.
01:55:47 We may just go out praying today
01:55:48 and we're through, and you just play under it,
01:55:50 John, and let's ask the Lord to bless people,
01:55:53 there are lot of lonely
01:55:54 brokenhearted people there today.
01:55:56 And they don't know where they...
01:55:58 They want to do in life.
01:55:59 They don't think there is any hope.
01:56:01 If you don't feel there is any hope today,
01:56:02 there is, it's in the Lord Jesus Christ.
01:56:04 Trust Him and I promise you, He will see you through.
01:56:06 He will give you peace that passeth all understand.
01:56:10 And so today, you just join with us in prayer.
01:56:12 First confess, Lord, I'm a sinner.
01:56:14 He says, if we confess our sins,
01:56:16 He is faithful and just to forgive us from our sins
01:56:18 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
01:56:21 Then simply go and tell what He has done for you.
01:56:23 Amen.
01:56:24 So today, join us as we pray, Brother Neville.
01:56:27 Okay, Father in heaven, we thank You God
01:56:29 for the precious gift of Your Son Jesus Christ.
01:56:32 We thank You Lord 'cause You are good
01:56:34 and Your goodness is so evident, Lord.
01:56:37 We ask O God that You would give us grace
01:56:40 to see Your goodness all around us, Lord.
01:56:43 And we ask Father that You would continue
01:56:47 to comfort the comfortless
01:56:49 and we thank You for these gifts
01:56:50 that You have given us
01:56:52 to assist in the preaching of the gospel, Lord.
01:56:56 This is the reason why we do it, Lord.
01:56:58 You are the reason, Father.

01:57:01 And we pray O God that You would never allow us
01:57:05 to lose sight of Your goodness.

01:57:11 We bless Your name. We give You glory.
01:57:14 We give You honor.
01:57:15 Be with each person watching this program, Lord.
01:57:19 And we ask God
01:57:21 that they would also be able to see
01:57:25 and know that You love them personally Lord God.
01:57:30 We thank You Father for hearing this prayer
01:57:33 in the name of Your Son Jesus.
01:57:36 Amen. Amen. Amen.
01:57:39 O come let us adore Him
