00:01 Hi and welcome back to Your Favorites By Request.
00:03 It's a delight again to have my dear friend 00:07 Yvonne Lewis-Shelton. 00:09 Thank you for your smile, thank you for your laugh. 00:11 It's always great to not only hear you laugh 00:13 but to hear you sing. 00:15 And so thanks for dropping by. 00:17 Thank you so much for inviting me. 00:19 I love it. Yeah. 00:20 It's so much fun to sing with you, Tim. 00:22 Thank you very much. 00:23 We have people who we're singing with 00:24 around the world. 00:26 I know. Isn't that amazing? 00:27 It really is. I love it. 00:28 I love, I love, I love. 00:30 And not only around the world, but in the heaven 00:33 because the angels are singing Holy, Holy, Holy. 00:37 And this song, Holy, Holy, Holy was written 00:39 around the end of the 1700s, beginning of the 1800s, 00:43 and to think that here we are in the 2000s 00:47 and they're still singing and they were singing long 00:48 before the 1700s. 00:50 Yes. 00:51 And they're going to be singing forever, Holy, Holy, Holy. 00:53 Yes, yes. 00:54 So let's join in with them, all right? 00:57 Great. 01:09 Holy, Holy, Holy! 01:15 Lord God Almighty! 01:21 Early in the morning 01:26 Our song shall rise to Thee 01:33 Holy, Holy, Holy! 01:38 Merciful and mighty! 01:44 God in three Persons 01:50 Blessed Trinity! 02:37 Holy, holy. 02:38 Holy, Holy, Holy! 02:42 Though the darkness hide. 02:44 Though the darkness hide Thee 02:49 Though the eye made blind by sin 02:54 Thy glory may not see 03:01 Only Thou art holy 03:06 There is none beside Thee 03:12 Perfect in pow'r 03:16 In love, and purity 03:25 Holy, Holy, Holy! 03:31 Lord God Almighty! 03:37 All Thy works shall praise Thy Name 03:42 In earth, and sky, and sea 03:49 Holy, Holy, Holy! 03:55 Merciful and mighty! 04:01 God in three persons 04:07 Blessed Trinity! 04:23 Amen. Wow. 04:25 You know, to me, Tim, 04:26 there seems to be such an anointing on that song. 04:29 Like for me, like when I start singing, 04:31 I can't help but lift my hand 04:32 because we're singing to a holy God... 04:35 Right. And you just can't... 04:37 You have to just worship, 04:38 you have to just go into worship. 04:40 I just go into worship mode, I can't help it. 04:41 I totally agree. It just feels so anointed. 04:44 Right. 04:47 Precious. Amen. 04:48 He's holy. He truly is. 04:52 I received a request from a friend 04:55 in Willemstad, Curacao. 05:00 C-U-R-A-C... Curacao? 05:02 That. See... 05:03 Curacao. Okay. 05:05 I think. 05:06 If I'm wrong, just, you know, write in and let me know. 05:08 Well, if you're wrong, it really sounds right. 05:09 But I think it's Curacao. Nice. Okay. 05:11 Well, Brudeska is the name. 05:15 And so this song is, O For A Closer Walk. 05:19 I am not as familiar with this tune 05:20 but I think that you are. 05:22 In fact, I think you said 05:23 that there are some alternate lyrics. 05:24 Yeah, there are. When I heard you... 05:26 Over 1,000 tongues to sing. Yeah, yeah. 05:28 And so this is O For A Closer Walk. 05:31 So I'm going to be reading this right out of the hymnal, 05:33 and thanks to my director who is letting me 05:36 put all my music on the piano here. 05:41 Yeah, yeah. 05:42 He doesn't like the way it looks. 05:43 It looks great. 05:45 But I like the way it sounds a lot better because... 05:47 Right, exactly. 05:48 So let's do this one for Brudeska. 06:11 Sing it for me, Yvonne. 06:12 O for a closer walk with God 06:19 A calm and heavenly frame 06:25 A light to shine upon the road 06:32 That leads me to the Lamb! 06:39 Where is the blessedness 06:44 I knew when first I sought the Lord? 06:53 Where is the soul-refreshing view 07:00 Of Jesus and His Word? 07:30 Return, O holy Dove 07:35 return Sweet messenger of rest 07:43 I hate the sins that made Thee mourn 07:51 And drove Thee from my breast 08:14 What a pretty melody. O For A Closer Walk. 08:15 It is very pretty. 08:17 O For A Closer Walk, 08:18 something we all should pray for a closer walk. 08:21 Yes, yes. 08:23 And in fact, this next song 08:25 is talking about being close to God. 08:29 The Bible says, 08:30 "The nearness of God is our good." 08:33 Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, 08:38 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 08:40 say the Lord, thoughts of peace, not of evil, 08:43 to give you an expected end. 08:45 Then shall you call upon Me, and you shall go 08:48 and pray unto Me, I will hearken unto you. 08:51 And you shall seek Me, and find Me, 08:54 when you shall search for Me with all your heart." 08:56 Yes. 08:57 So as we pray for a closer walk, 09:00 I believe that's what that... 09:03 It says, "If you shall seek Me and find Me 09:06 when it's with a whole heart that you search Me." 09:09 Yes. That's right. 09:11 You spent some time on the road a few years ago with Don Moen. 09:14 I did. It's actually more than a few. 09:17 It was several years ago with Don Moen and Ron Kenoly. 09:21 Nice. 09:22 And it was such fun and there was a video, 09:25 and it was a lot of fun, a lot of singers. 09:27 Great. Great singers. 09:29 I love that era of worship music. 09:32 Yes. 09:33 It's kind of really spotlight... 09:34 made brought into... 09:37 made it known more I guess. Yes. 09:39 The worship. 09:40 It really brought into focus the whole idea of praise 09:45 and worship and worshipping God, 09:48 not just corporately but individually. 09:51 Instead of songs going this way, 09:54 you're going this way. 09:55 And it's so beautiful. 09:56 It is beautiful. 09:58 And this is a beautiful song 09:59 talking about the presence of God 10:00 and knowing that if He doesn't go with us, 10:02 we don't want to go, right? 10:04 That's right. So we're following Him. 10:06 It says... 10:08 I just want to be where You are 10:13 Dwelling daily in Your presence 10:18 I don't want to worship from afar 10:24 Draw me near to where You are 10:30 I just want to be where You are 10:35 In Your dwelling place forever 10:40 Take me to the place where You are 10:46 'Cause I just want to be with You 10:52 I want to be where You are 10:55 Dwelling in Your presence feasting at Your table 11:02 Surrounded by Your glory 11:07 In Your presence 11:11 That's where I always want to be 11:16 I just want to be 11:20 I just want to be with You 11:24 Oh, my God. 11:26 Oh, my God, 11:29 You are my strength and my song 11:34 And when I'm in Your presence 11:37 Though I'm weak, You're always strong 11:44 I just want to be where You are 11:50 Dwelling daily in Your presence 11:56 I don't want to worship from afar 12:02 Draw me near to where You are 12:09 Let's just go right into this. 12:12 Draw me nearer 12:16 Nearer blessed Lord 12:19 To the cross where Thou hast died 12:27 Draw me nearer 12:32 Nearer blessed Lord 12:37 To Thy precious 12:41 Bleeding side 12:47 I don't want to worship from afar 12:50 Oh, no, no 12:52 Draw me near to where You are 13:02 Sweet. Oh, nice. 13:04 Precious. Praise the Lord. 13:06 For Marilyn in Georgia, as a good friend of mine, 13:09 she emails me quite often, 13:11 and this is a song that she sent in, 13:13 requesting Jesus, Use Me. 13:16 And I'm not sure if you know this, 13:17 but I'm going to... 13:19 I don't, but I'll listen and maybe I can join. 13:20 I'm glad this is a sing along, so there's no pressure. 13:22 Yeah, there is no pressure whatsoever. 13:25 So sing along. 13:35 Dear Lord I'll be Your witness 13:39 If You will help my weakness 13:44 I know that I'm not worthy, Lord, of You 13:52 By eyes of faith I see Thee 13:57 On the cross of calv'ry 14:01 Dear Lord, I cry, Let me Thy servant be 14:10 Jesus, use me 14:15 O Lord, don't refuse me 14:19 Surely there's a work that I can do 14:28 And even though it's humble 14:32 Lord, help my will to crumble 14:37 Though the cost be great 14:40 I'll work for You. 14:46 He's the Lily of the valley 14:50 The Bright and Morning Star 14:54 He's the Fairest of ten thousand 14:58 To my soul 15:03 He's the beautiful Rose of Sharon 15:07 He's all the world to me 15:11 But best of all He is my coming King 15:20 So, Jesus, use me 15:25 O Lord, don't refuse me 15:30 Surely there's a work that I can do 15:38 And even though it's humble 15:43 Lord, help my will to crumble 15:48 Though the cost be great I'll work for You 15:57 Though the cost be great I'll work for You 16:08 And that's a willing spirit, right? 16:10 That's right. Willing heart. 16:12 That's right. I just say, "Lord, use me." 16:13 And that... Yeah. 16:15 He is faithful to open doors when we... 16:19 Danny says, "The blessing is on the go." Right? 16:21 That's right. That's right. Just you go... 16:23 Be willing to go... Be willing to go. 16:25 And He will open the doors. 16:26 If we're available, He'll use us. 16:28 Right. 16:29 Everybody has been called to do something, 16:31 so we all are called to go. 16:33 Yeah, but just be careful when you say that prayer, 16:35 "Jesus, use me." 16:37 That's right.
