00:01 Magnify the Lord with me
00:04 Magnify the Lord 00:08 Jesus, the Lord is worthy 00:11 Magnify Him 00:17 Hello, everyone, and welcome to "Magnify Him." 00:20 My name is Duawne Starling. 00:22 And I'm Yvonne Lewis. 00:23 And once again we are excited about "Magnify Him." 00:27 What do you think about "Magnify Him," Duawne? 00:28 You know, I think "Magnify Him" 00:30 is a perfect idea. 00:32 Praise the Lord. I honestly do. 00:34 We are bringing singers 00:36 who are musicians and songwriters as well. 00:40 But the main thing is they're concerned about ministry. 00:42 Yes. Yes. 00:43 And that's so important because again 00:45 we want to give God the glory. 00:47 The name of the program is "Magnify Him," 00:50 not magnify the artist, but "Magnify Him." 00:52 And so what our viewers are gonna see 00:55 is the artist really lifting up the name of Jesus 00:59 and bringing Jesus into the homes of the viewers 01:02 so that they can have a sense of who He is. 01:05 And sharing their testimonies through songs, 01:08 you know, and just letting people know 01:09 that we are more alike then we are different. 01:11 If we just tell each other the things 01:13 that we've gone through 01:14 we are far more like than we are different. 01:16 Yes, and music is a great way to do that. 01:18 Music is a great way for us to connect 01:22 and for us to really again share Jesus with others. 01:26 So sit back, take a look at "Magnify Him" 01:30 as we glorify and lift up 01:32 the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 01:34 Amen. 01:36 Magnify the Lord with me 01:39 Magnify Him 01:44 I'm sitting here with Sherice Tomlin. 01:46 She's a wonderful woman of God. 01:48 She's a recording artist. She's a writer. 01:52 You know, the list could go on. 01:54 One of the things that I love about you 01:56 is that when I listen to you 01:57 I can tell that you are authentic, 01:59 that this is not just something that's been rehearsed, 02:02 but this is something that you live 02:04 on a day to day basis. 02:06 What I'd like to know is, 02:07 where does the passion come from? 02:10 Right, amen, I tell you the passion 02:12 truly comes from the Father. 02:13 Serving Him is really what drives me. 02:16 And since I'm not-- I don't think that I'm a pastor 02:19 so I just-- my contribution is through song. 02:23 And so I-- that's really what drives me. 02:26 I'm sure if you wanted to pastor you could. 02:27 Have mercy. 02:29 Because I know you have a lot of Word in you. 02:30 Have mercy. 02:32 I am a broken vessel just being used, 02:34 so you just never know. 02:36 Praise God. 02:37 So the CD that you are going to sing from today, 02:40 can you tell us some of the things 02:42 that we would hear on it. 02:43 You know, I'm pretty diverse in my music. 02:46 So therefore genres differ. 02:50 Today I'll be singing one of them. 02:52 It's a ballad that was written 02:54 by my cousin and I, Stephanie Clark. 02:55 And the rest of it you'll hear some traditional churchy things 02:59 and some gospel reggae. 03:01 My parents are from Jamaica so, 03:02 you know, I have to represent my heritage. 03:05 I love it. I love that stuff so... 03:07 But music altogether, 03:08 I mean, classicals are my favorite stuff. 03:10 I really enjoy that. 03:11 So are you doing the gospel reggae song today? 03:13 Oh, no, not today. Not today? 03:16 I'm gonna sing "Without You, Lord." 03:18 That was actually, I re-did that song. 03:21 I did it on my first album, 03:22 and on the second one 'cause it's just a favorite of mine. 03:25 I just had to do it again. 03:26 And then of course another one 03:28 from my heart "People Need The Lord." 03:29 I love that. 03:30 So where can we purchase your CD? 03:33 If you go on to my website that will be ShericeTomlin.com, 03:36 you should be able to obtain it from there. 03:39 It should be on iTunes and CD Baby soon 03:42 and of course Amazon.com. 03:43 Wonderful. 03:45 So I would love for the audience 03:48 to hear these two songs and we are preparing now 03:51 to hear the ministry of Sherice Tomlin. 03:53 And I know you will be blessed. 04:04 Without you, Lord 04:07 I can't find my way 04:13 I need Your spirit 04:19 To guide me each day 04:24 That's why I now come to You 04:29 On bended knees 04:34 Asking you, Father 04:39 To lead me please 04:51 Without you, Lord 04:54 I can't make it 05:01 Without you, Lord 05:04 I can't take it 05:11 Without you, Lord 05:14 I can't go straight 05:20 Without you, Lord 05:24 I can't find my way 05:36 Lord, I need You to guide me 05:41 Help me to win 05:47 I can't fight much longer 05:51 This battle I'm in 05:54 No, no 05:57 That's why I'm telling You, Lord 06:01 To send, Lord, send Your help 06:07 I can't do without You, Jesus 06:10 I can't make it 06:13 By myself, Lord 06:19 Without you, Lord 06:21 I can't make it 06:29 Without you, Lord 06:31 I can't take it, no 06:39 Without you, Lord 06:42 I can't go straight 06:48 Without you, Lord 06:52 I can't find my way 06:55 You said that wherever I go 06:58 You would protect me 07:03 Even in the midst of my enemies 07:15 I long from my heart today 07:19 Perfect the heart 07:25 But I know that it starts within myself 07:33 In myself 07:41 I can't live without You, Lord 07:47 I cannot live without You 07:49 No, no, Lord 07:54 I cannot live without You 07:59 I cannot live without You 08:02 You are so blessed, so precious, so precious to me 08:06 Lord, you are the best thing indeed 08:11 I cannot live I cannot live 08:16 I cannot live, Lord 08:29 I cannot make it, Lord, no 08:35 I can't, Lord 08:39 Without you, Lord 08:42 I have no strength without You, Lord 08:54 I can't find my way 09:15 This song simply speaks about our need for our Lord. 09:19 We live in such a world filled with hate, 09:22 anger, diseases, death. 09:25 But I've just come here to encourage you 09:28 to let you know that God is there, 09:31 he's still in control. 09:33 Know that we all, 09:35 whether we're doing good or not, need the Lord. 09:48 Every day they pass me by 09:55 I can see it in their eyes 10:02 Empty people filled with care 10:08 Headed who knows where 10:16 On they go through private pain 10:23 Living fear to fear 10:29 Laughter hides their silent cries 10:36 Only Jesus hears 10:44 People need the Lord 10:51 People need the Lord 10:58 At the end of broken dreams 11:06 He's the open door 11:13 People need the Lord 11:20 People need the Lord 11:28 When will we realize 11:35 People need the Lord 11:53 We are called to take His light 12:01 To a world where wrong seems right 12:08 What could be too great a cost 12:13 For sharing life 12:17 With one who's lost 12:23 Through His love our hearts can feel 12:29 All the grief they bear 12:36 They must hear the words of life 12:44 Only we can share 12:51 People need the Lord 12:59 People need the Lord 13:06 At the end of broken dreams 13:13 He's the open door 13:20 People need the Lord 13:28 People need the Lord 13:36 When will we realize 13:43 That we must give our lives 13:48 For people need the Lord 14:05 People need the Lord 14:29 The Lord 14:39 Magnify the Lord with me 14:42 Magnify Him 14:48 I am so thrilled to be sitting here with Loren Mulraine. 14:51 Loren, welcome to "Magnify Him." 14:53 Thank you. Thank you, so much. 14:54 Glad to be here. We go a long way back. 14:56 Yeah, we do. We do. 14:57 It was several years ago I did my first CD, 15:00 and as an attorney, an entertainment attorney 15:02 you negotiated that deal for me. 15:04 That's right. Thank you, Loren. 15:05 I don't know if I got to say thank you before but thank you. 15:08 My pleasure. 15:09 Your ministry has just blossomed and grown. 15:11 Tell us what you've been doing. 15:13 Well, I've done over the last-- 15:16 I started doing solo ministry about 20 years ago. 15:18 I did at least four solo recordings. 15:21 Wonderful. 15:22 The most recent one is called "Fall on Me." 15:24 And the songs I'm gonna be doing today 15:25 are from that CD. 15:27 "Renewed, Restored, Redeemed" 15:28 and "I Am" are both part of that. 15:30 And I tour with Breath of Life Quartet primarily. 15:33 And usually when we tour, 15:34 we also have solo spots within the tours. 15:37 And, you know, I'm just trying to use 15:40 all the gifts God gave me. 15:42 And He's given you so many. 15:43 I was listening to your-- 15:44 Praise God. Yes, amen. 15:45 I was listening to your soundtrack, 15:48 and your voice is just so clear. 15:50 And-- Oh, it's just-- 15:52 it's beautiful and you minister. 15:53 And that's what we're really focusing on here 15:56 with "Magnify Him." 15:57 We want ministry. 15:59 Tell us what you really want to do with your ministry? 16:01 What are you doing? 16:02 Well, I'm trying to do 16:03 more and more writing and producing. 16:05 So on my project I wrote all the songs and produced it. 16:09 So the songs that you're gonna sing for us today you wrote? 16:11 Those are original songs, yes, that I wrote. 16:13 Wonderful. Wonderful. 16:14 Produced and arranged. 16:16 And then on the Breath of Life Quartet 16:18 I produced and co-wrote 16:20 and arranged most of that as well. 16:22 That is awesome. 16:23 Do you have as a writer, 16:24 do you have set times 16:25 that you write or, how do you do that? 16:27 That's really interesting. 16:28 Because of the fact that I don't do music fulltime 16:31 I write in bunches. 16:32 So, for example, I'm a professor at a university 16:35 and during those breaks I'll write five or six songs, 16:38 you know during Christmas break. 16:40 See, you know, see that's such a gift. 16:43 You know, not just anybody can just sit and write 16:45 five songs during a break. 16:47 Do you have set hours that you do it? 16:49 Not really. 16:50 I kind of combine craft and inspiration. 16:52 The inspiration part just hits you 16:54 whenever it hits you. 16:55 For example, the first song that I'm gonna do today, 16:58 the hook of that came to me in a dream. 17:00 Did it? 17:01 And I woke up, I didn't want to turn on the lights, 17:03 and I just wrote out the notes 17:04 on a piece of paper next to my bed 17:05 because I didn't want to wake up. 17:07 Yes, and you don't want to forget. 17:08 Wow, wow, wow. 17:10 What is your favorite song that you've written? 17:13 My favorite song is probably the title song 17:15 of the album which is "Fall On Me," 17:18 and close second will probably be "I Am." 17:20 Yeah. 17:22 I heard "I Am" on your soundtrack, 17:23 oh, you just want to worship the Lord. 17:26 Praise God. And that's just-- 17:27 That's really what it's all about worshipping God. 17:30 Let's go and talk about Breath of Life a bit. 17:33 You've been with them for how long? 17:34 I've been with Breath of Life for almost 20 years now. 17:37 Started in 1992 and been all over the world 17:41 and we've really been blessed 17:42 to be a part of that great ministry. 17:44 And it's so awesome. 17:45 And you guys like come together 17:46 from all different parts of the country 17:48 and get together and rehearse and all. 17:50 Yeah, yeah. That is incredible. 17:52 What about your family? 17:53 I have a wife and five kids at home. 17:56 Wow. 17:57 Four daughters and a son. You are a busy guy. 17:59 Yeah. Yeah. 18:00 How old are they? 18:01 Going from 16 to 2 1/2. Oh. 18:03 So we have five drop-offs in the morning. 18:08 That's got to be challenging. 18:10 So how do you combine ministry 18:14 and home and Breath of Life? 18:16 How do you do all that? 18:17 Because you have ministry 18:18 and you have your profession as an attorney. 18:19 Sure. Sure. 18:21 The ministry part is something that occurs 18:23 every day and every moment. 18:25 And so I just take advantage of the inspiration 18:27 that I get from different times 18:29 and places to feed into my ministry. 18:32 That is awesome. That is awesome. 18:34 We are so blessed today 18:35 to have Loren Mulraine to minister to us. 18:40 As you listen to the lyrics of these songs worship God, 18:45 worship Him and magnify Him. 18:58 Create in me 19:03 A clean heart 19:07 And renew a right spirit within me 19:15 Yeah, yeah 19:17 Cast me not away 19:22 From Your presence I pray 19:27 Don't take Your Spirit from me 19:37 Restore the joy 19:41 Of salvation to me 19:46 May my spirit be willing to serve You 19:56 On my own I am lost 20:01 But with You I can be renewed, 20:09 Restored, redeemed 20:16 My mind's renewed 20:21 My heart's restored 20:26 My soul has been redeemed 20:29 By the blood of the Lamb 20:33 And I know that I am 20:36 My mind has been renewed 20:41 My heart has been restored 20:45 My soul has been redeemed 20:55 So I thank You, oh, Lord 21:00 You are great, You are good 21:05 Loving kindness is everlasting 21:14 With my heart I can say 21:19 I'm redeemed of the Lord 21:24 I am renewed, restored, redeemed 21:35 My mind's renewed 21:40 My heart's restored 21:44 My soul has been redeemed 21:48 By the blood of the Lamb 21:51 And I know that I am 21:54 My mind has been renewed 21:59 My heart has been restored 22:04 My soul has been redeemed 22:10 By the blood of the Lamb 22:13 So I thank You, oh, Lord 22:18 You are great, You are good 22:23 Loving kindness is everlasting 22:33 With my heart I can say 22:38 I'm redeemed of the Lord 22:42 I am renewed, restored, redeemed 22:55 I have been renewed, restored, redeemed 23:06 Not only does God want to renew your mind, 23:08 restore your heart and redeem your soul, 23:10 but He also wants to be the answer 23:12 to every question in your life, 23:14 solution to every problem. 23:16 "I Am." 23:21 I am the author of the ages 23:26 The words, the book, the pages 23:30 I am the name above every name 23:36 I am the answer to the question 23:42 The reason your confession 23:46 Will never ever leave you the same 23:52 I am a still small voice 23:59 And a mighty wind 24:07 The bread of life and living water 24:12 I make right all that is wrong 24:16 In your weakness, I am strong 24:24 I am the grace you need to save you 24:29 From sins that I forgave you 24:33 The giver of the living sacrifice 24:39 I am the power to restore you 24:45 The crown that's waiting for you 24:49 I gave My Son, whose blood has paid the price 24:55 I am the mountain high 25:02 And the valley low 25:10 I am the sunshine in your darkness 25:14 And the rain upon dry lands 25:19 I am the one who holds the world in My hands 25:27 A father to the fatherless and a friend to those alone 25:34 A shelter to the homeless, I will not forget my own 25:42 I am giving you the power to go possess the land 25:50 When you're in your darkest hour 25:53 Just take My hand 25:58 I am the power of salvation 26:04 The healing for all nations 26:08 I am the word to set the captives free 26:14 I am to all who dare believe Me 26:20 To all who would receive Me 26:24 The promise that you'll live eternally 26:29 If you just seek My face 26:36 And turn from your own ways 26:44 I am the one who will forgive your sins 26:49 And I will heal the land 26:52 I am the Alpha and Omega 26:56 The first and last 27:00 That's what I am 27:15 I am the author of the ages 27:21 The words, the book, the pages 27:24 I am the one who holds the world in My hands 27:32 I am 27:43 Magnify Him 27:47 Duawne, I'm so thankful 27:49 that we've been able to share 27:50 these talented artists with the world. 27:51 Yes, yes. 27:52 It really has been a blessing, 27:54 and I pray that you have been blessed. 27:56 Until next time. |
