Thank you. 01:18 Glad to be here, 01:20 this is an honor and a privilege. 01:21 I'm just blessed, truly blessed. 01:23 It's our honor to have you here 01:25 and I have heard you sing before 01:27 because once again, 01:28 she's another one of my praise team members, 01:29 so I'm really glad to have you here 01:32 and you are actually going solo. 01:34 You have been solo actually for a while 01:36 but you are about to put out a CD, I hear. 01:38 Yes. It'll be coming out soon. 01:40 Hopefully we'll have everything ready, 01:41 and get ready to go by November. 01:43 Okay, now if you could let people know, 01:46 what is your style or genre? 01:49 Pretty much gospel. 01:51 I can do some contemporary for like weddings 01:54 and stuff like that but basically gospel. 01:56 I want to preach and sing the gospel of Jesus Christ. 01:59 Yeah. That's it. 02:01 Yeah, and that's what it's all about. 02:02 Yes. 02:04 How did you get started in music? 02:05 I got started with my mother. 02:07 My mother would gather all nine of her children 02:10 and have family worship. 02:12 Me as a young child, I hated coming to worship. 02:14 However, I knew at my age now, 02:18 that was the best thing she could have ever done, 02:20 because it's just amazing. 02:22 Wow, and you have children of your own? 02:24 I do. 02:26 And so I'm sure you have incorporated that 02:27 with your children as well. 02:29 I have. Now, your whole family sings. 02:33 So what is it like growing up in a family with singers? 02:38 You know, it is truly awesome because we can get together 02:41 and start singing and when they hear a part 02:44 that's not being sung, somebody can just slide in there 02:47 and start singing that part 02:48 and it's just beautiful, beautiful. 02:51 So you guys sing together a lot? 02:52 Oh, yeah. 02:54 Family worship, we still have family worship. 02:55 Believe it or not, we still have family worship. 02:57 Oh, praise the Lord. 02:58 Well, with you guys singing together, 03:00 what confirmed your ministry in order to go solo? 03:04 Well, I mean, I was just led to do it. 03:08 You know, I have sung with groups 03:10 and choirs all my life, but the Lord is just like, 03:13 you know, you need to step out on your own 03:15 and be a witness for me. 03:17 And move on, it's just time to move on. 03:19 Okay, well tell me 03:21 just a little bit more about yourself. 03:22 What do you do professionally? 03:24 I'm a Production Supervisor. 03:25 Okay, and you also said you have a family 03:29 so do you want to give them a shout-out today? 03:31 Yes, I have a daughter, Princess Britney. 03:33 Uh-huh. I named her after me. 03:35 And my son Brandon, and my husband Freddie. 03:37 And my in-laws, they are just wonderful people. 03:39 So it's just a beautiful family, beautiful family. 03:41 Awesome. 03:43 What songs are you going to do today? 03:45 What sin and Jesus Paid It All. 03:49 Why did you choose those two songs by chance? 03:52 What Sin just helps me to remember the things 03:56 that I used to do and how when I confess my sins to Jesus, 04:00 He forgave me for my sins. 04:02 And when I bring them up, He's like, what sin, what sin? 04:06 And then you'd remember that Jesus paid it all. 04:09 All to Him I owe, all to Him I owe. 04:12 Wow, it is so good that God gives us a second chance 04:16 and you know... 04:20 with what we do as music ministers, 04:23 just to sing the good news to people, 04:25 I mean, I know it gives you a good feeling, 04:27 it gives me a good feeling. 04:30 What-- Describe that feeling if you can 04:33 of when you are through ministering the people 04:35 and you see that their souls have been touched. 04:38 It is amazing, because you know it's only God 04:43 that can only reach them through that music, 04:45 it's not me, only God. 04:47 If I'm trying to take the credit, then I have lost 04:49 all credibility of trying to witness for Christ. 04:53 So it's all about God. 04:54 You are absolutely right. 04:56 Real quick, where can people reach you? 04:57 They can reach me on Facebook, Princess L. Brooks. 05:00 Princess L. Brooks. 05:01 Everybody, I am just so happy, I'm so excited 05:06 to welcome Miss Princess Brooks 05:08 as she sings for us on Magnify Him. 05:10 Thank you. 05:37 It happened so long ago 05:41 I cried out for mercy back then 05:45 I plead the blood of Jesus 05:49 Begged him to forgive my sins 05:53 But I just can't forget it 05:56 It just won't go away 05:59 So I wept again, 06:01 Lord wash my sin 06:03 But this is what He'd say 06:11 What sin? 06:14 What sin? 06:16 Well that's as far away 06:18 As the east is from the west 06:26 What sin? 06:29 What sin? 06:31 It was gone 06:33 The very minute you confessed 06:40 Buried in the sea 06:44 Of forgetfulness 06:53 The heaviest thing you'll carry 06:56 Is the load of guilt and shame 07:00 You were never meant To bear them 07:03 So let them go in Jesus name 07:08 Our God is slow to anger 07:11 And quick to forgive our sins 07:15 So let Him put them Under the blood 07:18 Don't bring them up again 07:23 Cause He'll just say 07:26 What sin? 07:29 What sin? 07:31 Well that's as far away 07:33 As the east is from the west 07:41 What sin? 07:44 What sin? 07:46 It was gone 07:48 The very minute you confessed 07:55 Buried in the sea 07:59 Of forgetfulness 08:15 Lord, please deliver me 08:20 From my accusing memory 08:24 Nothing makes me weak this way 08:27 Than when I hear you say 08:33 What sin?
