00:18 Hello and welcome to Magnify Him
00:21 I'm Danita Jones
00:23 and I'm Lyndon Carriger
00:24 you know Psalm 92 verse 1 says,
00:26 "It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord
00:29 and to sing praises to your name O Most High. "
00:32 That is exactly what we're going to do right here
00:34 on Magnify Him today Danita.
00:36 That is right, we have two magnificent Artists
00:38 that are going to do that and you know
00:39 it gets me so excited,
00:41 I may just start singing myself, today.
00:42 Well, wait a second, you're a Host not an Artist.
00:46 That is true... that may be true but you know what?
00:48 I feel like singing because
00:50 God has been so good to us hasn't he?
00:52 He has been good and that's why we're here today
00:54 because we're going to lift up the name of Jesus today
00:57 and we're going to Magnify Him.
00:59 Magnify the Lord the King
01:02 Magnify Him.
01:07 I am thrilled
01:08 to introduce our next guest here on Magnify Him,
01:11 not 5th Element... not 6th Element...
01:15 but... 7th Element...
01:17 tell me about that name
01:19 and welcome to Magnify Him, of course
01:21 but tell me about your name
01:22 7th Element... what does that mean?
01:24 Well, Lyndon, when we had gotten together at first
01:27 and we decided on picking a name,
01:29 a lot of groups always seem to pick things
01:31 that are important to them,
01:33 you'll find a lot of... especially in the world...
01:34 groups that seem to pick names that glorify themselves,
01:36 Hmmm... hmmm...
01:38 but we wanted to do the opposite we wanted our name
01:40 so anytime it was called, it would bring glory to God
01:43 and so there are 6 elements here that you see
01:47 and I'm Element 1, because I sing First Tenor
01:51 so I'm E1 or Element 1... Mark Dwyer,
01:53 I am Darren Green, E2, I sing second from the top,
01:57 I'm Garth Greene... E3,
02:00 and I'm Curt Greene and I'm E4 I sing a higher baritone.
02:05 Kevin Greene and I sing baritone...
02:09 the lower baritone... E5,
02:11 I'm E6... and I sing bass... my name is Mark Glover.
02:14 All right... well once again
02:16 we are just so happy to have you here
02:18 on Magnify Him...
02:20 But Lyndon... one thing... Yeah... go ahead...
02:22 But the most important Element, the one that you asked about...
02:25 Is the 7th... Is the 7th... yes...
02:27 and that's why when we say, "It's all about the 7th... "
02:30 And let me tell you, I've heard you guys sing before
02:31 and you guys definitely have that anointing on you.
02:34 I have another question here,
02:37 how long have you guys been singing together
02:40 and when did it all start... what year?
02:44 Well, we started singing together in 1999
02:48 the group you see here started singing together in 2000
02:53 several of us are brothers
02:56 I don't know if you can tell or not
02:57 but four of us here in the center... are brothers
03:00 literal brothers...
03:02 And you said, by the same mother and father...
03:04 Yes... Praise the Lord
03:08 and we've been singing together since... I hate to say it...
03:11 but the late 70s... we had a group back then
03:15 we did a record...
03:18 It's called The Heralds of Joy
03:20 The Greene brothers and The Heralds of Joy
03:23 and then Marc and Mark... came together and joined us
03:32 to form 7th Element as you see it today.
03:35 And you two actually had the separate deals... correct?
03:39 Yeah.. Tell me a little bit about that.
03:42 We were actually signed to Capitol Records
03:44 I won't call in the names
03:46 but we were signed to Capitol Records
03:48 and then to Sony, and they took us into the office
03:51 and said, "Listen, we want you to sing,
03:52 but we want you to sing more of a secular thing
03:56 and we want you to sing gospel later"
03:58 and that's the way... we just couldn't do
03:59 so Marc stepped out
04:00 and then I eventually stepped out also
04:02 and found 7th Element.
04:05 Wow! that is interesting
04:07 what a testimony how God put all six of you guys together.
04:11 Tell me... how do your rehearsals work
04:15 it's got to be tough with six people in rehearsal.
04:19 Oh yeah... I mean... you said it,
04:23 I mean... it is tough
04:24 but I think that without that 7th Element in our lives,
04:29 it wouldn't be possible
04:31 but with Him... it's all possible.
04:34 We don't get together an awful lot,
04:37 when we travel... we rehearse
04:39 that's all I can say.
04:41 Absolutely, now... you said that you're traveling
04:44 so where are you from?
04:45 We are based in Orlando primarily
04:48 although Curt is in Nashville,
04:50 but most of us are in the Florida area
04:52 so you can say, we're Floridians...
04:54 We're about an hour... two hours apart.
04:55 Gotcha... and you have a CD?
04:58 We do...
04:59 What's it called?
05:01 "7th Element" it's self-named...
05:03 7th Element Volume 1.
05:05 And where can people get it?
05:07 iTunes... you name it... Amazon...
05:11 And how can they contact you?
05:14 They can go to Facebook... Okay...
05:16 We are on Facebook... 7th Element...
05:18 Awesome... I'm going to go back to my seat,
05:20 you can go ahead and introduce your song.
05:21 All right...
05:23 The song we're going to do is about the 7th Element
05:25 and how He empowers us
05:26 to be more than we can be on our own
05:28 "You Raised Me Up"
05:30 Ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhh...
05:39 ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhh...
05:48 When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
05:56 When troubles come and my heart burdened be
06:04 Then I am still and wait here in the silence
06:13 Until you come and sit awhile with me
06:20 You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
06:29 You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
06:38 I am strong when I am on your shoulders
06:46 You raise me up to more than I can be
06:54 Oh...
06:59 There is no life - no life without its hunger
07:08 Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
07:16 But when you come and I am filled with wonder
07:26 Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity
07:33 You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
07:42 You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
07:52 I am strong when I am on your
07:57 shoulders
08:00 You raise me up
08:03 to more than I can be
08:12 You raise me up
08:19 so I can stand on mountains
08:25 You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
08:33 I am strong when I am on your
08:40 shoulders...
08:49 You raise me up
08:53 to more than I can be
09:01 You raise me up to more than I can be
09:09 Oooh... ooooh... ooooh...
09:12 Ohhhhh... ohhhh...
09:18 Ohhh...
09:22 God has brought us a mighty long way
09:27 and it's because of His amazing grace
09:30 why we can stand here today and magnify His name.
09:34 Amazing Grace,
09:40 Ooooh... ooooh...
09:46 ohhh... ohhh...
09:52 Amazing grace,
09:59 how sweet the sound,
10:03 That saved a wretch
10:09 like me... like me...
10:15 I once was lost
10:21 but now I am found,
10:27 Was blind, but now,
10:34 I see... oh I see...
10:40 oooh... oooh...
10:46 ahhhh...
10:52 'Twas grace that taught...
10:59 my heart to fear,
11:04 And grace,
11:07 my fears relieved.
11:14 How precious did
11:19 that Grace appear...
11:29 the hour I first believed
11:38 I believed...
11:45 Through many dangers,
11:51 toils and snares...
11:56 I have already
12:03 come.
12:07 'Tis Grace that brought
12:13 me safe thus far...
12:19 and Grace will lead me home.
12:26 Oooh... oooh... ooooh...
12:32 oooh... ooh...
12:40 When we've been there
12:46 ten thousand years...
12:52 bright shining
12:58 as the sun.
13:04 We've no less days
13:10 to sing God's praise...
13:19 then when we've
13:25 first
13:32 begun...
13:41 oooh...
13:50 Ahhhhh...
13:58 Magnify the Lord the King Magnify Him
14:06 We have a special treat on our Program for you today
14:09 a person that is usually behind the scenes here at 3ABN
14:12 is coming to share her wonderful ministry,
14:15 I'd love to welcome to our Program today, Ms. Mayri Cruz,
14:18 welcome Mayri...
14:19 Thank you... glad to be here.
14:21 Now, tell our audience first
14:22 what you actually do here at 3ABN... behind the scenes.
14:25 I am the Production Coordinator for 3ABN Latino.
14:28 Wow! and that is actually a pretty neat job
14:30 you probably get to meet a lot of different people and
14:33 how did you actually come about getting that job here?
14:35 Well, I graduated last year from University
14:39 with an Elementary Education degree... Bachelor's degree...
14:43 so I was supposed to be going in a completely different way
14:46 but God obviously had other plans,
14:47 I was making plans to... looking for a job
14:52 and thinking of maybe... oh, teaching in South Korea
14:55 or going to Puerto Rico
14:56 where my family is originally from
14:58 but then my mom...
15:00 my parents... they've been working together
15:02 with 3ABN Latino...
15:04 and she told me about a job opportunity...
15:05 a job opening that they had...
15:07 I first brushed it off and said,
15:08 "Well, that's not for me, that's not even in my field... "
15:10 so... but then through a series of events
15:13 and experiences and different things that happened,
15:18 I ended up coming here to do a Cooking Program
15:20 and then I interviewed for the job
15:22 and they gave me the job
15:24 which was surprising to me I didn't think that would happen
15:26 I said, "God, if they gave me the job,
15:28 that would be a sign to take it" and then I wasn't sure,
15:30 I kind of hesitated when I actually did get the job
15:32 so, after praying about it and talking over with my family,
15:36 and thinking about it, I decided that
15:38 that was what God wanted me to do
15:39 and I've been here since November of last year.
15:42 That's an amazing story and so now...
15:44 we have you behind the scenes here...
15:46 but one of the great things is that
15:47 you have a myriad of talents
15:50 and, of course, one of them is singing,
15:51 how did you get started singing?
15:54 Well, I've been singing pretty much
15:57 since I was really little,
15:58 my parents... I don't know if they still have them,
16:00 but they recorded me singing to sound tracks...
16:02 on cassette tapes and I always liked to sing
16:06 and I love watching my parents sing,
16:10 I grew up listening to my parents sing together
16:11 all the time, and that really inspired me
16:13 and it wasn't till...
16:15 maybe when I started going to High School,
16:17 they had a choir there and I would be in the choir
16:19 and I enjoyed that and then...
16:21 a couple of years ago
16:23 I really started thinking more seriously about
16:26 singing more often and improving the skill
16:29 and I found a friend, a really good friend of mine
16:32 at school... at college... who... we would get together
16:35 and we would go do special music
16:36 at different Spanish Churches around the area,
16:38 and for me... music is just such a blessing in my life
16:42 and it inspires me, music does so many things to you
16:45 and I really feel like
16:47 that's my way of sharing
16:48 my testimony and blessing to others is through music.
16:51 Now, I have to ask this question because you talk about
16:54 being able to go and sing not only at other churches...
16:57 but Spanish-speaking churches
16:59 are we going to get a chance maybe a little later
17:00 to hear you sing a little something in Spanish?
17:02 Yes, yes, actually in all my songs,
17:05 I sing a verse in Spanish.
17:06 That is wonderful now I'm going to give you a
17:08 pop quiz here... what is one of your favorite songs to sing
17:11 and the meaning behind that?
17:13 I think...
17:16 I like...
17:19 well I really love the hymns
17:22 so, there are a lot of hymns that I really like
17:24 I love hymns that talk about hope and peace and joy...
17:30 so there are a lot of hymns that talk about that.
17:32 It's really hard for me to pick just one that I like
17:33 so... but the two that I'm going to be singing
17:37 are... I love the music, the melody to them,
17:40 they're very soothing songs that give a proper message about
17:44 God's love for us and the power in Jesus' blood.
17:47 That's wonderful because my Co-Host and I, Lyndon,
17:50 we talk about... how sometimes we're losing
17:52 some of the hymns in our church
17:54 so it's encouraging to see someone have a ministry
17:57 and do the hymns,
17:58 so we're really excited about that
18:00 so now... you're going to sing two hymns for us
18:02 I want you to talk a little bit about
18:03 that first song you're going to sing
18:04 and what it truly means to you.
18:06 Well, the first one is, "There is a Fountain"
18:09 and I really like the melody,
18:11 I changed up the lyrics a little bit
18:15 used some from different verses and mixed it together
18:18 but, it's just really beautiful how
18:22 nothing else in this world can give us peace, can save us...
18:28 nothing can save us except the blood of Jesus
18:30 and that's really a big part of our message
18:33 as Christians and so that's part of the reason
18:36 I really like this song and just the
18:38 the melody and the tune are very peaceful.
18:40 And that is a beautiful song and we are so thankful
18:43 for the blood of Jesus Christ and how He has saved us all
18:47 and I cannot wait to hear these songs
18:48 and excited about hearing you sing also in Spanish
18:51 so... you... I'm just excited
18:53 so we are going to present to you
18:55 Ms. Mayri Cruz.
19:01 Music playing...
19:07 There is a fountain filled with blood,
19:14 Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
19:21 And sinners plunged beneath that flood
19:30 Lose all their guilty stains:
19:38 Lose all their guilty stains,
19:45 Lose all their guilty stains;
19:52 And sinners plunged beneath that flood
20:00 Lose all their guilty stains.
20:09 Music playing...
20:17 The dying thief rejoiced to see
20:26 That fountain in His day;
20:33 And there have I, though vile as he,
20:41 Washed all my sins away:
20:48 away...
20:52 away,
20:55 Washed all my sins away
21:02 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
21:10 Thy flowing wounds supply,
21:16 Redeeming love has been my theme,
21:23 And shall be till I die:
21:31 And shall be till I die,
21:37 And shall be till I die;
21:44 Redeeming love has been my theme,
21:51 And shall be till I die:
21:58 Washed all my sins away,
22:05 Washed all my sins away:
22:12 Redeeming love has been my theme,
22:19 And shall be till I
22:25 die.
22:32 Music...
22:39 Oooh oooh...
22:45 Ooh... ooh... ooh..
22:51 Music playing...
22:55 Nothing but the blood of Jesus can save us.
22:59 Music playing
23:06 What can wash away my sins?
23:11 Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
23:18 What can make me whole again?
23:24 Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
23:31 Oh! precious is the flow
23:38 That makes me white as snow;
23:44 No other fount I know,
23:49 Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
23:56 Music...
24:03 Qué Puede lavar mi pecado?
24:10 Sólo de Jesús la sangre
24:17 Qué puede hacerme todo otra vez?
24:25 Soló de Jesús la sangre
24:31 Oh! preciose es el flujo
24:38 Eso me hace blanca como la nieve,
24:44 Otra fuente no que sé
24:50 Sólo de Jesús la sangre
24:56 Music playing...
25:04 Oooh... oooh... oooh...

25:20 Oooooh...
25:28 oooh...
25:34 oohhh...
25:40 Now by this I'll overcome...
25:45 Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
25:51 Now by this I'll reach my home...
25:57 Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
26:03 Oh! precious is the flow
26:10 That makes me white as snow;
26:17 No other fount I know,
26:22 Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
26:31 Music playing...
26:36 more music...
26:43 more music.
26:49 Magnify Him
26:54 Isn't it great to use our gifts for God?
26:57 And you know we did just that today on Magnify Him
27:00 7th Element... Yes...
27:01 They are truly anointed...
27:03 Wow! and I thought it was really neat
27:05 what they did with their name there...
27:07 You know... I was walking around
27:10 the studio... I'm like... "Where is the 7th person?"
27:13 And then I heard the story and it makes sense
27:17 it's God... how awesome is that?
27:18 That is an awesome thing and we also love Mayri
27:21 and the fact that she is able to be behind the scenes here
27:25 on 3ABN and Dare to Dream
27:26 but she was able to come in front of the camera
27:29 and share her ministry with God
27:30 and that is an amazing thing.
27:32 We have so many talented people in the Studio here
27:35 at 3ABN... we are so glad
27:37 that you as our audience got a chance to see them.
27:39 Yeah, we love our Dare to Dream Family
27:42 and we love you as well
27:43 in fact we want you to come here with us...
27:45 if you have a submission that you want to give
27:48 to the Dare to Dream Network,
27:49 you can send it to yvonne. lewis@3abn. org
27:55 We look forward to hearing from every one of you
27:57 God bless you and join us next time
28:00 as we... Magnify Him.
