00:01 I told you today was gonna be an amazing testimony.
00:03 We've seen how God has used you, Paulo,
00:06 when you prayed as a young boy to be a prophet.
00:11 I think God is using you in such an amazing way
00:15 with the music ministry.
00:17 You said something during the news break to me.
00:19 How you engage the audience in a church,
00:23 tell us your story?
00:25 Well, I believe it's very important,
00:29 when we are singing to know what we are singing.
00:32 But even more than that, how was that conceived?
00:36 How did God impress the composer's mind
00:40 either to write the words or to write music?
00:43 And we have some amazing stories of people
00:47 who wrote their hymns in the moment
00:51 they were the hardest,
00:53 most difficult ones in their lives,
00:56 like Miss Spafford, for instance,
01:01 she was traveling in Ville du Havre,
01:04 going towards England,
01:05 and they were hit by another ship at night.
01:08 And right there, she lost her children
01:13 into the sea, they drown and she'd lost them.
01:17 And they died and she came back to America.
01:20 And two months later, her husband
01:23 had his office burnt and they lost everything.
01:26 And they sat together, they prayed and they said,
01:29 "Lord, impresses our mind to comprehend,
01:33 to understand Your will, because we know
01:36 that everything you do for the ones that trust in You
01:39 are for their good."
01:42 And they sat down, they reflect and they wrote the hymn,
01:44 "It is well with my soul."
01:46 Oh, amen.
01:48 And you see, that shows faith.
01:50 And when you tell a congregation and explain that
01:52 you tell a little bit about the harmony.
01:55 They become a little more acquainted with the music.
01:57 Amen.
01:59 And that does help with worship.
02:01 You had a little poem you wanted to say real quickly.
02:04 Yeah, I understand that music speaks
02:07 what really cannot be expressed.
02:08 It soothes the mind and gives it rest.
02:11 It heals the heart and makes it whole,
02:15 and it flows from heaven to the soul.
02:17 Amen.
02:19 How true.
02:20 Dr. Paulo Torres, thank you so much
02:22 for joining us today.
02:23 We are so glad that you joined us as well.
02:26 I told you, this was gonna be
02:28 a fascinating interview and it was.
02:30 Our prayer for you at home is that the grace of our Lord
02:33 and Savior Jesus Christ, the love of the Father
02:35 and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
02:38 will be with you not only today, but every day.
02:42 Thanks for joining us.
