The king is coming: some of the most powerful words ever sung first got their start
00:05:22.378 --> 00:05:24.180
Some of the most powerful words ever sung first got their start in a small indiana town
00:05:24.247 --> 00:05:26.249
Ever sung first got their start in a small indiana town when two young school teachers
00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:27.950
In a small indiana town when two young school teachers teamed up in 1962
00:05:28.017 --> 00:05:29.786
When two young school teachers teamed up in 1962 to form not only a unique
00:05:29.852 --> 00:05:31.320
Teamed up in 1962 to form not only a unique and lasting marriage,
00:05:31.387 --> 00:05:32.822
To form not only a unique and lasting marriage, but possibly the most prolific
00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:34.223
And lasting marriage, but possibly the most prolific songwriting team
00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:35.091
But possibly the most prolific songwriting team known to gospel music.
00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:36.926
Songwriting team known to gospel music. perhaps it is the simplicity
00:05:36.993 --> 00:05:38.127
Known to gospel music. perhaps it is the simplicity of their music
00:05:38.194 --> 00:05:38.961
Perhaps it is the simplicity of their music that first caught our attention.
00:05:39.028 --> 00:05:41.164
Of their music that first caught our attention. their songs have provided hope,
00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:43.299
That first caught our attention. their songs have provided hope, strength, and spiritual guidance
00:05:43.366 --> 00:05:45.501
Their songs have provided hope, strength, and spiritual guidance for millions of listeners
00:05:45.568 --> 00:05:47.303
Strength, and spiritual guidance for millions of listeners across the globe and have
00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:49.105
For millions of listeners across the globe and have bridged the chasm between
00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:50.940
Across the globe and have bridged the chasm between doctrines, cultures,
00:05:51.007 --> 00:05:52.442
Bridged the chasm between doctrines, cultures, and musical generations,
00:05:52.508 --> 00:05:54.277
Doctrines, cultures, and musical generations, but without a doubt,
00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:55.445
And musical generations, but without a doubt, it was their source,
00:05:55.511 --> 00:05:57.346
But without a doubt, it was their source, the endless well of truth,
00:05:57.413 --> 00:05:59.148
It was their source, the endless well of truth, that literally started
00:05:59.215 --> 00:06:00.950
The endless well of truth, that literally started the whole world singing.
00:06:01.017 --> 00:06:02.885
That literally started the whole world singing. because he lives:
00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:04.420
The whole world singing. because he lives: the stories behind the songs
00:06:04.554 --> 00:06:06.689
Because he lives: the stories behind the songs of bill & gloria gaither.
00:06:06.823 --> 00:06:08.858
Well, gloria and bill,
00:06:09.926 --> 00:06:11.928
Well, gloria and bill, here we are in the family room.
00:06:11.994 --> 00:06:14.030
Well, gloria and bill, here we are in the family room. and now, this is the piano
00:06:14.096 --> 00:06:15.665
Here we are in the family room. and now, this is the piano where you wrote all those songs,
00:06:15.731 --> 00:06:17.533
And now, this is the piano where you wrote all those songs, those great classics
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.202
Where you wrote all those songs, those great classics that we love and sing.
00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:20.203
Those great classics that we love and sing. >> pretty much right here
00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:21.471
That we love and sing. >> pretty much right here and usually before noon
00:06:21.537 --> 00:06:22.839
>> pretty much right here and usually before noon right here in this room,
00:06:22.905 --> 00:06:24.106
And usually before noon right here in this room, except for maybe,
00:06:24.173 --> 00:06:26.442
Right here in this room, except for maybe, he touched me,
00:06:26.576 --> 00:06:26.976
Except for maybe, he touched me, which we wrote in a little
00:06:27.043 --> 00:06:27.844
He touched me, which we wrote in a little rented house that we rented
00:06:27.910 --> 00:06:29.045
Which we wrote in a little rented house that we rented from bill's dad and mom
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:30.079
Rented house that we rented from bill's dad and mom when we first got married.
00:06:30.146 --> 00:06:31.781
From bill's dad and mom when we first got married. but most of them have
00:06:31.848 --> 00:06:32.849
When we first got married. but most of them have been written right here
00:06:32.915 --> 00:06:33.850
But most of them have been written right here with this piano.
00:06:33.916 --> 00:06:34.650
Been written right here with this piano. >> mark: well, i have
00:06:34.717 --> 00:06:35.451
With this piano. >> mark: well, i have been looking forward to this
00:06:35.518 --> 00:06:36.319
>> mark: well, i have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
00:06:36.385 --> 00:06:37.487
Been looking forward to this moment for a long time. i feel like one of your songs
00:06:37.553 --> 00:06:38.788
Moment for a long time. i feel like one of your songs that i love--
00:06:38.855 --> 00:06:40.556
I feel like one of your songs that i love-- i just feel like something
00:06:40.690 --> 00:06:41.824
That i love-- i just feel like something good's about to happen,
00:06:41.958 --> 00:06:42.959
I just feel like something good's about to happen, 'cause i've got
00:06:43.025 --> 00:06:43.593
Good's about to happen, 'cause i've got a lot of good questions.
00:06:43.659 --> 00:06:44.727
'cause i've got a lot of good questions. how did you write that one?
00:06:44.794 --> 00:06:45.795
A lot of good questions. how did you write that one? >> bill: you know what?
00:06:45.862 --> 00:06:47.096
How did you write that one? >> bill: you know what? we really wrote it out
00:06:47.163 --> 00:06:48.865
>> bill: you know what? we really wrote it out of necessity, because we needed
00:06:48.931 --> 00:06:51.033
We really wrote it out of necessity, because we needed a happy song up front
00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:53.569
Of necessity, because we needed a happy song up front in our concerts.
00:06:53.636 --> 00:06:54.303
A happy song up front in our concerts. somehow, people come in--
00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:55.471
In our concerts. somehow, people come in-- they've been reading
00:06:55.538 --> 00:06:56.172
Somehow, people come in-- they've been reading a lot of newspapers,
00:06:56.239 --> 00:06:57.240
They've been reading a lot of newspapers, a lot of bad articles--
00:06:57.306 --> 00:06:58.341
A lot of newspapers, a lot of bad articles-- you know, they're depressed,
00:06:58.407 --> 00:06:59.876
A lot of bad articles-- you know, they're depressed, you know?
00:06:59.942 --> 00:07:00.376
You know, they're depressed, you know? and so i told gloria, "we need
00:07:00.443 --> 00:07:01.978
You know? and so i told gloria, "we need something that simply says,

>> gloria, of all the songs
00:08:57.126 --> 00:08:58.494
>> gloria, of all the songs that you and bill have written,
00:08:58.561 --> 00:08:59.528
>> gloria, of all the songs that you and bill have written, why do you think
00:08:59.595 --> 00:09:00.696
That you and bill have written, why do you think because he lives
00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:02.531
Why do you think because he lives has had the greatest impact
00:09:02.598 --> 00:09:03.399
Because he lives has had the greatest impact on people around the world?
00:09:03.466 --> 00:09:05.167
Has had the greatest impact on people around the world? >> that's been a big surprise,
00:09:05.234 --> 00:09:06.335
On people around the world? >> that's been a big surprise, because it was such a personal
00:09:06.402 --> 00:09:07.503
>> that's been a big surprise, because it was such a personal song, and maybe that--
00:09:07.570 --> 00:09:11.674
Because it was such a personal song, and maybe that-- maybe that is the reason,
00:09:11.741 --> 00:09:12.908
Song, and maybe that-- maybe that is the reason, maybe because it came
00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:13.743
Maybe that is the reason, maybe because it came out of the just--
00:09:13.809 --> 00:09:14.944
Maybe because it came out of the just-- some real regular things
00:09:15.011 --> 00:09:16.812
Out of the just-- some real regular things in our lives.
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:17.513
Some real regular things in our lives. it was written in the '70s.
00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:23.285
In our lives. it was written in the '70s. actually, in 1970,
00:09:23.352 --> 00:09:25.054
It was written in the '70s. actually, in 1970, right at the end of the whole
00:09:25.121 --> 00:09:26.822
Actually, in 1970, right at the end of the whole '60s situation in the world.
00:09:26.889 --> 00:09:30.459
Right at the end of the whole '60s situation in the world. the vietnam war
00:09:30.526 --> 00:09:31.761
'60s situation in the world. the vietnam war and the whole civil rights
00:09:31.827 --> 00:09:33.596
The vietnam war and the whole civil rights movement was at the peak
00:09:33.663 --> 00:09:37.566
And the whole civil rights movement was at the peak of the turmoil
00:09:37.633 --> 00:09:38.768
Movement was at the peak of the turmoil that was tearing america apart--
00:09:38.834 --> 00:09:41.103
Of the turmoil that was tearing america apart-- turned out to be a good thing,
00:09:41.170 --> 00:09:44.273
That was tearing america apart-- turned out to be a good thing, but at the time, it was chaotic.
00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:47.309
Turned out to be a good thing, but at the time, it was chaotic. and we were expecting
00:09:47.376 --> 00:09:49.679
But at the time, it was chaotic. and we were expecting our third baby,
00:09:49.745 --> 00:09:50.646
And we were expecting our third baby, and we were reading
00:09:50.713 --> 00:09:51.447
Our third baby, and we were reading the newspaper, saying,
00:09:51.514 --> 00:09:52.381
And we were reading the newspaper, saying, "why in the world
00:09:52.448 --> 00:09:52.982
The newspaper, saying, "why in the world would anybody bring a baby
00:09:53.049 --> 00:09:54.316
"why in the world would anybody bring a baby into a world like this?
00:09:54.383 --> 00:09:55.685
Would anybody bring a baby into a world like this? i mean, what's it going to be
00:09:55.751 --> 00:09:56.585
Into a world like this? i mean, what's it going to be like when this child
00:09:56.652 --> 00:09:57.887
I mean, what's it going to be like when this child has to face it?"
00:09:57.953 --> 00:09:59.588
Like when this child has to face it?" we went through
00:09:59.655 --> 00:10:00.556
Has to face it?" we went through a real dry spell in our writing
00:10:00.623 --> 00:10:02.058
We went through a real dry spell in our writing where we didn't write
00:10:02.124 --> 00:10:03.592
A real dry spell in our writing where we didn't write for six months or more
00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:05.494
Where we didn't write for six months or more and wondered
00:10:05.561 --> 00:10:06.829
For six months or more and wondered if that well was gone,
00:10:06.896 --> 00:10:08.397
And wondered if that well was gone, was dried up.
00:10:08.464 --> 00:10:09.632
If that well was gone, was dried up. and through a series of events,
00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:12.568
Was dried up. and through a series of events, after benjy was born,
00:10:12.635 --> 00:10:15.838
And through a series of events, after benjy was born, and we held that little boy
00:10:15.905 --> 00:10:17.707
After benjy was born, and we held that little boy in our arms,
00:10:17.773 --> 00:10:18.307
And we held that little boy in our arms, it sort of dawned on us--
00:10:18.374 --> 00:10:19.809
In our arms, it sort of dawned on us-- you know how theological things
00:10:19.875 --> 00:10:20.843
It sort of dawned on us-- you know how theological things that you say all your life
00:10:20.910 --> 00:10:22.144
You know how theological things that you say all your life kind of dawn on you, finally,
00:10:22.211 --> 00:10:25.281
That you say all your life kind of dawn on you, finally, and we realized that you don't
00:10:25.347 --> 00:10:27.717
Kind of dawn on you, finally, and we realized that you don't do what you do and get married
00:10:27.783 --> 00:10:29.318
And we realized that you don't do what you do and get married and have kids and go on
00:10:29.385 --> 00:10:30.252
Do what you do and get married and have kids and go on with your life
00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:30.853
And have kids and go on with your life because the world is stable.
00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:33.489
With your life because the world is stable. you do all that
00:10:33.556 --> 00:10:34.523
Because the world is stable. you do all that because christ is real,
00:10:34.590 --> 00:10:36.959
You do all that because christ is real, and the resurrection is true,
00:10:37.026 --> 00:10:38.794
Because christ is real, and the resurrection is true, and life wins.
00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:40.196
And the resurrection is true, and life wins. the verse that came first
00:10:40.262 --> 00:10:41.931
And life wins. the verse that came first was the child verse
00:10:41.997 --> 00:10:45.534
The verse that came first was the child verse with our child,
00:10:45.601 --> 00:10:47.269
Was the child verse with our child, "how sweet to hold
00:10:47.336 --> 00:10:47.803
With our child, "how sweet to hold our newborn baby
00:10:47.870 --> 00:10:49.238
"how sweet to hold our newborn baby and feel the pride
00:10:49.305 --> 00:10:50.106
Our newborn baby and feel the pride and joy he gives,
00:10:50.172 --> 00:10:51.440
And feel the pride and joy he gives, but greater still
00:10:51.507 --> 00:10:52.208
And joy he gives, but greater still the calm assurance;
00:10:52.274 --> 00:10:53.309
But greater still the calm assurance; this child can face
00:10:53.375 --> 00:10:54.443
The calm assurance; this child can face uncertain days
00:10:54.510 --> 00:10:55.311
This child can face uncertain days because he lives."
00:10:55.377 --> 00:10:56.312
Uncertain days because he lives." and then the other two verses
00:10:56.378 --> 00:10:58.481
Because he lives." and then the other two verses came afterwards,
00:10:58.547 --> 00:11:00.549
And then the other two verses came afterwards, and kind of the final--
00:11:00.616 --> 00:11:04.620
Came afterwards, and kind of the final-- an end to that story
00:11:04.687 --> 00:11:05.688
And kind of the final-- an end to that story was five or six years later,
00:11:05.755 --> 00:11:07.423
An end to that story was five or six years later, my father died.
00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:09.859
Was five or six years later, my father died. and he died on a friday night,
00:11:09.925 --> 00:11:12.862
My father died. and he died on a friday night, and we had--we came home,
00:11:12.928 --> 00:11:14.430
And he died on a friday night, and we had--we came home, made funeral arrangements
00:11:14.497 --> 00:11:15.664
And we had--we came home, made funeral arrangements and then flew out
00:11:15.731 --> 00:11:17.166
Made funeral arrangements and then flew out to our concert that night
00:11:17.233 --> 00:11:18.634
And then flew out to our concert that night in mccormick's place in chicago.
00:11:18.701 --> 00:11:19.935
To our concert that night in mccormick's place in chicago. and we had always ended
00:11:20.002 --> 00:11:22.972
In mccormick's place in chicago. and we had always ended the first half of the concert
00:11:23.038 --> 00:11:24.206
And we had always ended the first half of the concert with that song.
00:11:24.273 --> 00:11:26.709
The first half of the concert with that song. and i thought i had
00:11:26.776 --> 00:11:27.743
With that song. and i thought i had written those words
00:11:27.810 --> 00:11:28.778
And i thought i had written those words about the death of a saint for--
00:11:28.844 --> 00:11:34.283
Written those words about the death of a saint for-- just to make the song complete.
00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:36.185
About the death of a saint for-- just to make the song complete. but that night,
00:11:36.252 --> 00:11:38.053
Just to make the song complete. but that night, it was like i'd never heard it.
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:39.088
But that night, it was like i'd never heard it. and danny began to sing:
00:11:39.155 --> 00:11:42.658
It was like i'd never heard it. and danny began to sing: "and then one day,
00:11:42.725 --> 00:11:43.592
And danny began to sing: "and then one day, i'll cross that river.
00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:44.860
"and then one day, i'll cross that river. i'll fight life's
00:11:44.927 --> 00:11:45.427
I'll cross that river. i'll fight life's final war with pain,
00:11:45.494 --> 00:11:46.695
I'll fight life's final war with pain, and then as death
00:11:46.762 --> 00:11:47.730
Final war with pain, and then as death gives way to victory,
00:11:47.797 --> 00:11:49.298
And then as death gives way to victory, i'll see the lights of glory,
00:11:49.365 --> 00:11:50.199
Gives way to victory, i'll see the lights of glory, and i'll know he reigns."
00:11:50.266 --> 00:11:51.901
I'll see the lights of glory, and i'll know he reigns." and that--
00:11:51.967 --> 00:11:54.103
And i'll know he reigns." and that-- those words that i did,
00:11:54.170 --> 00:11:55.604
And that-- those words that i did, i thought to craft a song,
00:11:55.671 --> 00:11:57.206
Those words that i did, i thought to craft a song, turned around
00:11:57.273 --> 00:11:58.240
I thought to craft a song, turned around and became a ministry for me,
00:11:58.307 --> 00:12:01.644
Turned around and became a ministry for me, which just goes to show you
00:12:01.710 --> 00:12:04.280
And became a ministry for me, which just goes to show you that when god
00:12:04.346 --> 00:12:05.447
Which just goes to show you that when god gives you something,
00:12:05.514 --> 00:12:06.649
That when god gives you something, it's truer than you think.
00:12:06.715 --> 00:12:10.219
Gives you something, it's truer than you think. it's not about your skill.
00:12:10.286 --> 00:12:12.288
It's truer than you think. it's not about your skill. >> bill: and in all fairness,
00:12:12.354 --> 00:12:13.856
It's not about your skill. >> bill: and in all fairness, that night,

>> bill: and in all fairness, that night, we did the whole concert
00:12:15.357 --> 00:12:16.125
That night, we did the whole concert and said nothing about it,
00:12:16.192 --> 00:12:18.861
We did the whole concert and said nothing about it, and it was tough, wasn't it?
00:12:18.928 --> 00:12:20.396
And said nothing about it, and it was tough, wasn't it? >> until the end.
00:12:20.462 --> 00:12:21.130

00:12:24.466 --> 00:12:25.868
At the very end, i said, "thanks for your kindness tonight." i said, "gloria has done this
00:12:25.935 --> 00:12:27.736
For your kindness tonight." i said, "gloria has done this under very tough circumstances.
00:12:27.803 --> 00:12:29.338
I said, "gloria has done this under very tough circumstances. she lost her father yesterday,
00:12:29.405 --> 00:12:31.340
Under very tough circumstances. she lost her father yesterday, and you've been very kind."
00:12:31.407 --> 00:12:33.609
She lost her father yesterday, and you've been very kind." and the song's still true.

00:15:00.322 --> 00:15:01.824
I used to play basketball as a kid on the old barn. see those four little holes
00:15:01.890 --> 00:15:03.258
As a kid on the old barn. see those four little holes up there?
00:15:03.325 --> 00:15:04.126
See those four little holes up there? that's where
00:15:04.193 --> 00:15:04.693
Up there? that's where the basketball goal was,
00:15:04.760 --> 00:15:05.427
That's where the basketball goal was, and i'd play out here
00:15:05.494 --> 00:15:07.396
The basketball goal was, and i'd play out here with the neighborhood kids.
00:15:07.463 --> 00:15:08.263
And i'd play out here with the neighborhood kids. but i tell you what,
00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:08.931
With the neighborhood kids. but i tell you what, when you drove in real hard
00:15:08.998 --> 00:15:10.065
But i tell you what, when you drove in real hard to the bucket,
00:15:10.132 --> 00:15:10.899
When you drove in real hard to the bucket, you better be real careful,
00:15:10.966 --> 00:15:11.867
To the bucket, you better be real careful, because this was a sudden stop,
00:15:11.934 --> 00:15:13.669
You better be real careful, because this was a sudden stop, and you could get hurt
00:15:13.736 --> 00:15:15.204
Because this was a sudden stop, and you could get hurt pretty bad.
00:15:15.270 --> 00:15:16.905
And you could get hurt pretty bad. but here is the old barn,

Okay, where was the radio? where were the cows? i've heard this story

Where were the cows? i've heard this story every night for ten years.

I've heard this story every night for ten years. i want to know.
00:15:24.546 --> 00:15:25.381
Every night for ten years. i want to know. >> the cows would come in

From there. that was their overnight lodging quarters in there.
00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:30.185
That was their overnight lodging quarters in there. we'd have to put straw down
00:15:30.252 --> 00:15:31.653
Quarters in there. we'd have to put straw down so they'd have a warm place
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:32.721
We'd have to put straw down so they'd have a warm place to sleep, and then we would
00:15:32.788 --> 00:15:35.024
So they'd have a warm place to sleep, and then we would throw down hay from upstairs
00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:37.359
To sleep, and then we would throw down hay from upstairs in a mound, in the manger,
00:15:37.426 --> 00:15:39.094
Throw down hay from upstairs in a mound, in the manger, and they would eat there.
00:15:39.161 --> 00:15:40.029
In a mound, in the manger, and they would eat there. then they would come in here
00:15:40.095 --> 00:15:41.063
And they would eat there. then they would come in here in the mornings,
00:15:41.130 --> 00:15:43.265
Then they would come in here in the mornings, and this was like, remember,
00:15:43.332 --> 00:15:44.700
In the mornings, and this was like, remember, 5:30, 6:00 in the morning--
00:15:44.767 --> 00:15:46.368
And this was like, remember, 5:30, 6:00 in the morning-- real cold mornings.
00:15:46.435 --> 00:15:47.302
5:30, 6:00 in the morning-- real cold mornings. and they've taken away
00:15:47.369 --> 00:15:49.138
Real cold mornings. and they've taken away the old stanchion,
00:15:49.204 --> 00:15:50.672
And they've taken away the old stanchion, but you're standing
00:15:50.739 --> 00:15:51.640
The old stanchion, but you're standing right where--
00:15:51.707 --> 00:15:52.608
But you're standing right where-- the cow would face this way,
00:15:52.674 --> 00:15:54.443
Right where-- the cow would face this way, put her head down in there,
00:15:54.510 --> 00:15:55.644
The cow would face this way, put her head down in there, and eat grain that we'd throw
00:15:55.711 --> 00:15:57.780
Put her head down in there, and eat grain that we'd throw down there.
00:15:57.846 --> 00:15:58.313
And eat grain that we'd throw down there. that would keep her busy
00:15:58.380 --> 00:15:59.415
Down there. that would keep her busy while i'd turn on
00:15:59.481 --> 00:16:00.349
That would keep her busy while i'd turn on the old barn radio
00:16:00.416 --> 00:16:01.850
While i'd turn on the old barn radio and they would do that arpeggio:
00:16:01.917 --> 00:16:03.752
The old barn radio and they would do that arpeggio: ♪ bum, bada-la. ♪

And they would do that arpeggio: ♪ bum, bada-la. ♪ ♪ "give the world ♪

And in fact, just smelling the old barn here brings back memories of me
00:16:25.841 --> 00:16:27.609
The old barn here brings back memories of me saying, "one of these days,

Brings back memories of me saying, "one of these days, i'm going to get out of here,

Saying, "one of these days, i'm going to get out of here, and they're going to ask me

I'm going to get out of here, and they're going to ask me to sing with them."

To sing with them." in fact, we would have corn in that field right

In fact, we would have corn in that field right through the window,

In that field right through the window, and that was my field of dreams.

Through the window, and that was my field of dreams. i could just see jake and hovie

00:16:53.936 --> 00:16:54.903
"did you ever write any songs that didnywhere?" [laughing]
00:16:54.970 --> 00:16:57.072
That didnywhere?" [laughing] we got a whole backyard of songs
00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:59.541
[laughing] we got a whole backyard of songs that didn't go anywhere.
00:16:59.608 --> 00:17:01.477
We got a whole backyard of songs that didn't go anywhere. but i--they say,
00:17:01.543 --> 00:17:03.078
That didn't go anywhere. but i--they say, "what is the worst song,
00:17:03.145 --> 00:17:03.912
But i--they say, "what is the worst song, maybe, that you ever wrote?"
00:17:03.979 --> 00:17:05.214
"what is the worst song, maybe, that you ever wrote?" and maybe this comes closer--
00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:09.218
Maybe, that you ever wrote?" and maybe this comes closer-- and mark gets blessed
00:17:09.284 --> 00:17:11.987
And maybe this comes closer-- and mark gets blessed every time i bring up this song.
00:17:12.054 --> 00:17:13.555
And mark gets blessed every time i bring up this song. [laughing]
00:17:13.622 --> 00:17:14.890
Every time i bring up this song. [laughing] this comes
00:17:14.957 --> 00:17:15.624
[laughing] this comes the closest to probably
00:17:15.691 --> 00:17:16.458
This comes the closest to probably the worst song i ever wrote.
00:17:16.525 --> 00:17:18.360
The closest to probably the worst song i ever wrote. and i wrote it
00:17:18.427 --> 00:17:19.495
The worst song i ever wrote. and i wrote it because an evangelist
00:17:19.561 --> 00:17:20.662
And i wrote it because an evangelist came through town
00:17:20.729 --> 00:17:21.864
Because an evangelist came through town preaching about compromise,
00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:23.599
Came through town preaching about compromise, and he used
00:17:23.665 --> 00:17:23.999
Preaching about compromise, and he used the old testament scripture
00:17:24.066 --> 00:17:27.903
And he used the old testament scripture that said, "there's not a hoof
00:17:27.970 --> 00:17:30.539
The old testament scripture that said, "there's not a hoof shall be left behind,"
00:17:30.606 --> 00:17:32.608
That said, "there's not a hoof shall be left behind," which was about pharaoh
00:17:32.674 --> 00:17:35.344
Shall be left behind," which was about pharaoh and moses negotiating
00:17:35.410 --> 00:17:37.212
Which was about pharaoh and moses negotiating about getting the children
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:38.747
And moses negotiating about getting the children out of egypt land
00:17:38.814 --> 00:17:41.416
About getting the children out of egypt land into the promised land.
00:17:41.483 --> 00:17:42.584
Out of egypt land into the promised land. and he'd say,
00:17:42.651 --> 00:17:43.118
Into the promised land. and he'd say, "okay, you can go,"
00:17:43.185 --> 00:17:44.419
And he'd say, "okay, you can go," pharaoh would say, "but leave
00:17:44.486 --> 00:17:45.821
"okay, you can go," pharaoh would say, "but leave your possessions here,"
00:17:45.888 --> 00:17:48.557
Pharaoh would say, "but leave your possessions here," or "leave your horses here,"
00:17:48.624 --> 00:17:50.025
Your possessions here," or "leave your horses here," or "leave a couple kids here."
00:17:50.092 --> 00:17:54.296
Or "leave your horses here," or "leave a couple kids here." and there were a couple
00:17:54.363 --> 00:17:55.230
Or "leave a couple kids here." and there were a couple of kids that volunteered to stay
00:17:55.297 --> 00:17:56.632
And there were a couple of kids that volunteered to stay there, too, i think.
00:17:56.698 --> 00:17:57.699
Of kids that volunteered to stay there, too, i think. but finally moses said,
00:17:57.766 --> 00:17:59.201
There, too, i think. but finally moses said, "no, we are going--
00:17:59.268 --> 00:18:01.136
But finally moses said, "no, we are going-- the whole bunch is going,
00:18:01.203 --> 00:18:02.838
"no, we are going-- the whole bunch is going, and there's not one hoof
00:18:02.905 --> 00:18:04.373
The whole bunch is going, and there's not one hoof gonna be left behind."
00:18:04.439 --> 00:18:05.841
And there's not one hoof gonna be left behind." and i got so excited.
00:18:05.908 --> 00:18:07.142
Gonna be left behind." and i got so excited. i thought, "man, what an"--
00:18:07.209 --> 00:18:09.478
And i got so excited. i thought, "man, what an"-- i couldn't wait to get to the
00:18:09.545 --> 00:18:11.280
I thought, "man, what an"-- i couldn't wait to get to the piano to write this stirring,
00:18:11.346 --> 00:18:16.218
I couldn't wait to get to the piano to write this stirring, stirring message
00:18:16.285 --> 00:18:17.653
Piano to write this stirring, stirring message about compromise.
00:18:17.719 --> 00:18:18.987
Stirring message about compromise. and i knew who could sing it.
00:18:19.054 --> 00:18:20.255
About compromise. and i knew who could sing it. jake hess and hovie
00:18:20.322 --> 00:18:21.857
And i knew who could sing it. jake hess and hovie and the statesmen.
00:18:21.924 --> 00:18:22.658
Jake hess and hovie and the statesmen. you could sing this,
00:18:22.724 --> 00:18:23.358
And the statesmen. you could sing this, and you could just make a hit
00:18:23.425 --> 00:18:24.226
You could sing this, and you could just make a hit out of it.
00:18:24.293 --> 00:18:25.294
And you could just make a hit out of it. and so here's the way
00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:26.228
Out of it. and so here's the way the song went.
00:18:26.295 --> 00:18:27.162

That if you were going to be able to feed some serious ideas to a crowd,

Able to feed some serious ideas to a crowd, you had to some way make friends

To a crowd, you had to some way make friends with them and do it with humor.
00:33:20.521 --> 00:33:22.457
You had to some way make friends with them and do it with humor. then later on

With them and do it with humor. then later on when we got together,

Then later on when we got together, there was quite a bit of humor.
00:33:24.926 --> 00:33:26.627
When we got together, there was quite a bit of humor. i can remember the lines like,

There was quite a bit of humor. i can remember the lines like, "how many of you thought your

And it would lead into the song i am something special. humor has always been

I am something special. humor has always been a way to get defenses down,
00:33:54.755 --> 00:33:57.725
Humor has always been a way to get defenses down, because people kind of come in,
00:33:57.792 --> 00:33:59.093
A way to get defenses down, because people kind of come in, i think, with some walls.
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:03.264
Because people kind of come in, i think, with some walls. and it's a way
00:34:03.331 --> 00:34:03.798
I think, with some walls. and it's a way to knocks some walls down;
00:34:03.865 --> 00:34:04.699
And it's a way to knocks some walls down; to say, "hey, we got something

To knocks some walls down; to say, "hey, we got something serious we want to say."
00:34:06.467 --> 00:34:07.335
To say, "hey, we got something serious we want to say." and people often say to me,
00:34:07.401 --> 00:34:08.970
Serious we want to say." and people often say to me, "how's mark lowry to live with
00:34:09.036 --> 00:34:10.705
And people often say to me, "how's mark lowry to live with on the bus?"
00:34:10.771 --> 00:34:12.006
"how's mark lowry to live with on the bus?" well, for crying out loud,

Well, for crying out loud, if they're thinking he's like he is on the stage
00:34:13.641 --> 00:34:14.442
If they're thinking he's like he is on the stage all the time on the bus--

He's like he is on the stage all the time on the bus-- "he's one of the most serious

All the time on the bus-- "he's one of the most serious young men i know.

He's a very charitable person." i'm tearing you up, here. but the humor is a technique
00:34:23.251 --> 00:34:25.686
I'm tearing you up, here. but the humor is a technique for you to communicate to people
00:34:25.753 --> 00:34:27.755
But the humor is a technique for you to communicate to people that god loves them

For you to communicate to people that god loves them and cares about them
00:34:30.158 --> 00:34:30.791
That god loves them and cares about them and thinks they're--

>> gloria: i think it's very important that we take god very seriously,

It's very important that we take god very seriously, and i think it's very important
00:34:40.434 --> 00:34:41.802
That we take god very seriously, and i think it's very important that we take ourselves
00:34:41.869 --> 00:34:42.737
And i think it's very important that we take ourselves a whole lot less seriously.
00:34:42.803 --> 00:34:45.540
That we take ourselves a whole lot less seriously. we're not god.
