00:01 Hi, welcome back to Your Favorites by Request.
00:03 I have a dear friend John Lomacang with me.
00:05 Good to be here, Tim.
00:06 Thank you very much for being here.
00:08 We're going to sing some songs that are familiar,
00:10 some that are not familiar, kind of like friends.
00:12 That's right.
00:14 Some are a little closer than others.
00:15 And we have several people that are sending requests
00:19 and many of them I don't know.
00:22 That's why this song fits perfectly
00:24 into what you need, "He gives more grace."
00:26 "He giveth more grace." All right.
00:27 Well, let's do this one.
00:29 You sing it and I'll learn it as you're singing, all right?
00:30 Okay. Sounds good to me.
00:40 He giveth more grace
00:44 When the burdens grow greater
00:49 He sendeth more strength
00:52 When the labors increase
00:58 To added afflictions
01:02 He addeth His mercy
01:07 To multiplied trials
01:12 His multiplied peace
01:18 His love has no limits
01:22 Hi grace has no measure
01:26 His power no boundary
01:32 Known unto men
01:36 For out of His infinite
01:42 Riches in Jesus
01:46 He giveth, and giveth
01:53 And giveth again
02:00 When we have exhausted
02:04 Our store of endurance
02:08 When our strength has failed
02:12 Ere the day is half done
02:17 When we reach the end
02:20 Of our hoarded resources
02:25 Our Father's full giving
02:30 Is only begun
02:35 For His love has no limits
02:40 His grace has no measure
02:44 His power no boundary
02:49 Known unto men
02:54 For out of His infinite
02:59 Riches in Jesus
03:04 He giveth, and giveth
03:11 And giveth again
03:21 Amen. Praise the Lord.
03:22 Sweet, sweet words. Wonderful.
03:24 Giveth, and giveth, and giveth,
03:25 what a giving Father He is, right?
03:27 You know, the first time I heard that song was in 2001
03:30 right on the heels of the terrible disaster
03:32 in the World Trade Centre in Washington. D.C.
03:35 That day in the history
03:37 that is marked on everyone's calendar
03:39 that was alive at that time.
03:41 And being a New Yorker, having a sister working
03:44 for the fire department,
03:45 I thought about, you know, I am here,
03:48 I'm on my way to California at that time
03:49 I lived on the West Coast.
03:51 I couldn't contact her, she couldn't contact me,
03:53 and I was thinking to myself,
03:55 "Lord, please don't allow her to be at the base
03:56 of the World Trade Centre."
03:58 She is a firefighter.
03:59 She is with the fire department.
04:00 And if this disaster is of such magnitude
04:02 that I saw when I got to Canada, my wife and I,
04:06 when we arrived and admitted her in Canada,
04:08 I thought, "This is going to be horrible."
04:10 So then after we finally arrived back
04:13 in California to our church, they were worried
04:16 because we were coming back from London
04:18 that very day on United Airlines
04:21 that was diverted to Canada.
04:22 And I thought about...
04:24 When my wife and I finally got through my sister,
04:27 and she said,
04:29 "I'm so thankful just for a bed to sleep in, "
04:33 because she had to sleep on a canvas cot
04:36 with a plastic blanket to cover her
04:38 from all the sweat and all ash
04:40 that was falling at ground zero.
04:42 And then I went home
04:44 and shuffling through my records,
04:46 I heard that song, "He giveth more grace."
04:48 And I included it in the video of all this disaster.
04:51 It kind of took the disaster and covered it
04:54 with God's grace saying, "It's going to be all right."
04:57 And so when I sing that today,
04:58 my mind was taken back to that September day in 2001.
05:03 I said 2011, I think in 2001,
05:05 my mind was taken back to that awful day.
05:07 But yes, God's grace has continued.
05:09 And we got a new World Trade Center in New York
05:12 and God's grace still flows to this day.
05:13 Praise Him for that. It surely does.
05:16 I love songs that talk about the attributes of God,
05:20 and bottom line is
05:23 He is everything.
05:25 He is everything.
05:26 All the things He is, it's limitless.
05:30 This is a great Ralph Carmichael song.
05:32 We talk about him a lot. This is a good song.
05:36 I believe that he wrote this song,
05:38 "He's everything to me," if he didn't, he should have.
05:41 If he didn't, I'm sure you will correct me.
05:45 So...
05:46 But it goes like this.
05:56 In the stars His handiwork I see
06:01 On the wind He speaks with majesty
06:06 Though He ruleth over land and sea
06:11 What is that to me
06:15 I will celebrate nativity
06:20 For it has a place in history
06:25 Sure He came to set His people free
06:29 What is that to me
06:35 'Till by faith I met Him face to face
06:39 And I felt the wonder of His grace
06:44 Then I knew that He was more
06:47 Than just a God who didn't care
06:51 That lived a way out there
06:53 And now He walks beside me day by day
07:00 Ever watching o'er me lest I stray
07:05 Helping me to find the narrow way
07:11 He's everything to me
07:51 He's everything to me
08:01 Another great song.
08:02 You know, I didn't know that that was the song.
08:05 When you started singing, I thought to myself,
08:07 "I know that song,
08:08 but I never knew the title of it."
08:11 And that takes me back to my school days
08:13 when I was actually in the elementary school.
08:15 And the way that it sounds, the chord structure,
08:18 it's sounds like Ralph Carmichael would do.
08:19 Oh, yeah. Yeah.
08:21 I believe it is
08:22 because I was watching a YouTube video,
08:24 the other day when I was doing some research on this
08:27 and there's I think the Billy Gram crusade,
08:30 the Evangelistic Association put out a movie,
08:33 it was black and white,
08:35 and it has some men singing out there on the beach
08:38 and there is like some beach crowd,
08:40 and it said Ralph Carmichael.
08:42 So I'm sure it was him.
08:43 You know that's the only Ralph Carmichael
08:45 that I can think of that would write this song.
08:46 Anyway...
08:47 Hey, Tim. Do that one more time.
08:49 Okay.
08:50 Let's have fun together with that.
08:51 Okay. From the top? Yeah.
08:53 Okay.
08:54 In the stars His handiwork I see
08:59 On the wind He speaks with majesty
09:05 Though He ruleth over land and sea
09:10 What is that to me
09:14 Take it, John.
09:16 I will celebrate nativity
09:21 For it has a place in history
09:26 Sure He came to set His people free
09:32 What is that to me
09:38 'Till by faith I met Him face to face
09:44 And I felt the wonder of His grace
09:50 Then I knew that He was more than just a God
09:56 Who didn't care
09:58 That lived away out there
10:01 And now He walks beside me day by day
10:08 Ever watching o'er me lest I stray
10:14 Helping me to find that narrow way
10:21 He's everything
10:26 He's everything
10:29 One more time.
10:30 He's everything
10:34 To me.
10:41 Sweet. That song is so fun.
10:44 It is really fun. But it's kind of like that.
10:47 I see pitches of songs.
10:49 I'm hopelessly in this movie mind
10:54 when I sing songs.
10:55 Sure, sure.
10:57 And I'm looking at...
10:58 I see a little kid standing out on this...
11:00 looking over this vast creation and thinking,
11:05 "He's everything to me."
11:07 What did you see?
11:08 He falls short of explaining all the things he saw.
11:10 And God is that way.
11:12 When we try to think about God
11:13 'cause my wife and I are like amateur, amateur, amateur,
11:16 iPad astronomers.
11:18 Right. Right.
11:19 You know, we have this program,
11:20 we look at the stars that blink.
11:22 Right. Yeah.
11:23 But when you think about the magnificence of God,
11:24 He's everything to me,
11:26 yet He is walking by me every day.
11:28 Only God can do that. Exactly.
11:30 So I thank you for that, including that one.
11:32 Oh, my goodness. And thank you for the request.
11:34 Yeah, exactly. Thank you.
11:35 And I also want to now
11:37 leading kind of right into that thing
11:39 that in fact He is so all mighty universal,
11:42 He is everything, yet to know Him personally
11:47 is what an awesome privilege we have that...
11:49 And Larry sent in a request
11:51 "For no one ever cared for me like Jesus."
11:54 Wow. What a personal Savior He is.
11:57 So why don't you sing this at home?
12:25 No one ever cared for me like Jesus
12:33 There's no other friend so kind as He
12:40 No one else could take the sin
12:44 And darkness from me
12:49 O how much He cared for me
12:55 You want to sing that second verse?
12:57 All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me
13:04 All my heart was full of misery and woe
13:11 Jesus placed His loving arms
13:15 All around me
13:19 And He led me in the way
13:24 I should go
13:27 Tim, sing the chorus.
13:29 No one ever cared for me
13:34 Like Jesus
13:37 There's no other friend
13:40 So kind as He
13:45 No one else could take the sin
13:49 And darkness from me
13:55 O how much He cared for me
14:02 And one more verse.
14:05 Ev'ry day He comes to me with new assurance
14:12 More and more I understand
14:16 His word of love
14:21 But I'll never know just why
14:24 He came to save me
14:29 Till someday I see
14:32 His blessed face above
14:37 Sing on now.
14:39 No one ever cared for me
14:46 Like Jesus
14:50 There's no other friend so kind
14:56 As He
15:01 No one else could take the sin and darkness
15:08 From me
15:14 O how much He cared
15:21 For me
15:33 Precious Lord. Amen.
15:35 Thank the Lord.
15:37 You know, what would happen
15:38 if the Lord decided to pull the plug and say,
15:39 "You know what,
15:41 I no longer answering your prayers,
15:42 I'm no longer supplying your needs,
15:44 I'm no longer sparing you from accidents,
15:45 I'm no longer watching over you.
15:46 You're on your own."
15:48 That's a scary thing, but you know
15:49 what the Bible talks about those
15:50 who sometimes ignore the voice of God
15:52 and they cross the boundaries into this place
15:54 called the unpardonable sin, and I'm praying that,
15:56 you know, as you listen to the program today,
15:58 I'm praying that your desires to get to know Him better
16:01 because as we've sung in the last few songs,
16:04 He has this boundless treasure,
16:07 blessings He desires to bestow upon us.
16:09 Yeah, He wants to love us. That's right.
16:12 I mean He does love us.
16:13 But He wants us to love Him
16:15 and so we can draw closer to Him,
16:17 He draws closer to us.
16:18 And have that abundant life. Absolutely. Right.
16:21 And it's a daily thing, we liveth daily
16:26 and He's willing to walk with us daily.
16:28 And I have a friend out in Kelseyville, California.
16:33 I don't even know where that is,
16:35 but I have a friend there,
16:36 her name is Earnest Dean, and she is 90 years old.
16:39 Wow.
16:40 And this song is so fitting for her
16:43 and she requested "Day by day."
16:45 I like that song.
16:59 Day by day and with each passing moment
17:06 Strength I find to meet my trials here
17:12 Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment
17:19 I've no cause for worry or for fear
17:25 He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
17:32 Gives unto each day what He deems best
17:39 Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure
17:46 Mingling toil with peace and rest
17:54 Every day the Lord Himself is near me
18:02 With a special mercy for each hour
18:09 All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me
18:16 He whose name is Counsellor and Pow'r
18:24 The protection of His child
18:29 And treasure
18:32 Is a charge that on Himself He laid
18:40 As thy days thy strength
18:44 Shall be in measure
18:48 This the pledge to me He made
18:56 I think we can fill one more verse in.
18:58 Let's try.
19:00 Help me then, in every tribulation
19:05 So to trust Thy promises, O Lord
19:11 That I lose not faith's sweet consolation
19:17 Offered me within Thy holy Word
19:22 O help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting
19:30 E'er to take as from a father's hand
19:37 One by one, the days,
19:40 the moments fleeting
19:44 Till I reach the promised land
20:00 Wow.
20:01 You know, that's a song
20:02 that a person who is 90 would request,
20:04 God gives her strength every day.
20:06 Praise the Lord for that. Absolutely. Right.
20:08 And it's wonderful. Thank you for watching.
20:10 Thank you for being our friends.
20:11 Be sure and email us your request.
20:13 John, you add so much. We appreciate you.
20:16 I love you. Thank you, friend. Thank you, Tim.
20:18 Appreciate it.
20:19 So be sure and come back next time
20:21 for more of your favorites.

20:30 Then you sing along with me
