dottie rambo and when we get to the course uh i don't know where lucas went but if y'all know what y'all sang it out i can't sing as high as this course is but a lot of you ladies can take over but it's got he looked beyond my faults and saw my needs play it for him jared ah [Music] i shall [Music] yoga [Music] oh [Music] thank you i noticed you had your mask on over there near joe and she got over here and took it off i'm just saying joe i love you joe i've been knowing joe since i was a little bitty boy my daddy used to go to my dad he was taking me to see him gosh back then he was probably 40 back then i was like two but he could still preach man he was a new preacher he he had hair back in now he's got heavenly hair there'll be no parting over there i love you joe joe you could have stayed home and got that kind of criticism couldn't he i'm glad you did can't get enough of it you know this has been the strangest year and i know you guys can give me a big amen with that have we ever been through a more weird year uh i got tickled when when coveted and quarantined first started and everybody was staying home and you know don't leave the house and stay with your husbands and wives and there were so many people posting on facebook and social media this is really hard we're having to stay together all the time and i'm thinking it feels like the same to me in jail we're always together 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year and one of the first people one of the first questions people want to know is do we ever argue never had an argument 36 years we just have intense moments of fellowship [Laughter] and i got to be honest with you it has been less intense this year than i remember because jeffrey has taken the trash out all the time right on time because you didn't have anything else to do [Laughter] but we're so grateful because one thing that i have learned through this year well one thing i've learned about being a christian is when you have the tough times you have to be grateful for them amen because there's always something we can learn and draw from those experiences and this year the thing that i have learned more than anything else since i was 11 years old when i got saved i have learned about the faithfulness of god because i am a businesswoman i have a business degree i enjoy playing with numbers and finance and stuff and if you had asked me five years ago hey sherry why don't you just take a year off i would not have known how to do that and this year i found out i can take a year off and god's still going to take care of me it's been amazing and i'm so grateful for the faithfulness that i've seen in god's people because god's people have come out of the woodworks and it's so good to feel so loved 2008 i went through breast cancer and i told jeff as hard as that was i hope that everybody at some point in their lives can feel as loved as i felt going through breast cancer because i felt love from every direction and it was a beautiful thing i want to share with you a devotion that i wrote about my mom several years ago she passed away in 2018 and what a light she was she was sunshine and she always breathed so much encouragement into my life how many of you remember her polly with the lewis family all just a sweetheart of a woman just never seemed to have a bad day always had good advice always had a smile on her face and this kind of gives me a chance to share her with you when i was a teenager my mama loved to sing the song one day at a time she sang it on stage and off it became kind of a mantra for her as she walked through each season of her life trusting god was taking care of her every need it was her reminder that she could do nothing for her circumstances except trust him she sang it after my daddy died leaving her old widow raising two children who still lived at home she sang it as she walked through every lonely day until she remarried she sang it as her husband battled cancer and as her parents passed away 13 months apart she sang it as she walked into the uncertainty of parkinson's disease i never understood her attachment to the song until i began walking through similar seasons some days are just too hard some fights are just not worth it sometimes you need to be reminded that god is taking care of your every need nevertheless i think my mantra will be a little different because some days i don't have the strength to walk one day at a time not even one hour or one minute at a time i think i'll make a conscious effort to trust god one breath at a time [Music] this life is bad [Music] we are broken and we grieve but there's a promise for all [Music] train [Music] [Music] these [Music] [Applause] [Music] until we [Music] [Music] time [Music] [Music] make every moment count cause it passes [Music] it gently slips away and though for now it hurts there'll come a day [Music] hello [Music] know our own until we train our goodbyes are sweet hello we don't grieve as those who have no hope there is comfort in what we know [Music] hello [Music] heaven [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] until we trade [Music] [Music] hello [Applause] it's beautiful hey i'm gonna do just a couple more songs i'm looking forward to hearing joe uh briley uh come up here a minute this is jeff y'all love the primitive quartet right jeff tobert that

the years and he's just a blessing and i'll tell you what i told some other people in the prayer room this man right here cares about other preachers he cares about singers he cares about churches and brother i just want you to know we all care about you amen would you make welcome tonight at the christian unity revival dr joe arthur amen brother well praise the lord the book of matthew chapter number three and it's good to see you on this sunday night having church and having a good time having church and it's always a blessing to be with brother chris and appreciate him the church and it's always good to be with people that make fun of you i enjoyed that too i used to have a buddy of mine would go out and eat the waitress come over and say can i help you he said yes ma'am mess your hair up and holler at me make me feel at home but it's a blessing i do have my uh beautiful wife with me tonight all of our preachers were tied up i didn't have a driver and i said baby just go with me to keep me awake so stand up back there sweetheart i don't think they can see you back there but boy i'll tell you she sure is pretty and i praise the lord for that you say well beauty's only skin deep i know that but ugly cuts right down there to the bone amen and i appreciate the goodness of the lord god is good these are unusual days in which we live as though the pandemic was not enough and then we have the political landscape that's upon us and man there's darkness and disease and doubt and trouble on every hand but i want to say this tonight what a wonderful time to be a christian can i say that again what a wonderful time to be a christian because that's when you need light when it's dark that's when you need truth when it's deception that's when you need hope when you're in the midst of despair and i'm glad christ has always been the answer he's still the answer and always will be the answer matthew chapter number three tonight begin reading in verse number one in those days came john the baptist preaching in the wilderness of judea saying repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand for this is he that was spoken of by the prophet isaiah's saying here's my text tonight the voice of how many one the voice of how many one the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the lord and make his paths straight you may be seated tonight and i'm interested in that phrase in verse number three the voice of one and the lord being our helper tonight i want to preach a while on the power of one voice i believe we'd all agree tonight that this world has heard from everybody about everything we have heard from hollywood we have heard from the entertainment world we have heard from the sports figures we have even heard from the politicians we have heard from even religious voices in our day and it seems that the more our world hears the more confused and the more troubled they are become but tonight i believe america needs to hear from the church you know why the bible said let the redeemed of the lord say so because we're the only ones that has anything worth saying i believe tonight the church has a song let's sing it i believe tonight the church has a light let's shine it i believe tonight the church has a praise let's render it i believe tonight the message has a church and a voice and let's lift it because i believe in this world of darkness and confusion that christ is still the answer think about it tonight where would you be when you were a sinner lost and undone with that god or a son but somebody lifted up their one voice and pointed you to the savior who is right for whatever is wrong in people's lives you know what john the baptist was the bible said that he was a forerunner in other words he was sent before to prepare the way for the first advent of our savior in other words when john was on this earth his message his job was this he would lift up his voice and he would cry prepare get ready somebody's coming prepare get ready somebody's coming john would say i'm not that somebody i am not the light i'm not the one with the fan in one hand and the axe in the other hand but somebody's coming ready or not somebody's coming and john said that he is greater than me in fact he said he was before me and in plain old southern language he was saying ain't nobody like him cause ready or not somebody is coming and i'm glad i've read the rest of the story that somebody came and jesus is his name that somebody came and lived and died and rose again he came just like god said he would when god said he would where god said he would and the way god said that he would god said in the fullness of time my son will come he said in a little manger in bethlehem my son will come and he will come born of a virgin and he will live a sinless life and he will shed sinless perfect precious blood and he'll rise again the third day and obtain eternal redemption for every lost sinner that will find their way to the foot of the cross that's what we are ladies and gentlemen in this hour in this dispensation in this day we are four runners we have been sent out by the king of kings and lord of lords to prepare the way not for the first advent of our savior but for the second advent of our savior and may i remind you tonight just like he came the first time like god said he would when god said he would the way god said he would he will come the second time just like god said he would just exactly the way god said that he would man god got it right about the first one and he's got it right about the second one all of the promises all of the prophecies all of the predictions about his first advent were fulfilled to the mind detail and all of the prophecies and all the promises and all the predictions about his second advent will be fulfilled to the mind you detail the only difference is this the first time he came he came in the manger but the next time he comes he'll come in the clouds of glory the only difference is the first time that he come they put a crown of thorns on his head but the next time he comes they'll crown him with the royal diadem the only difference is the first time that he came they spit on him and said crucify him and they nailed him to a cross but the next time he comes he will mount the throne of his father david and in one mighty course they'll lift up their voice and saying i'll have the power of jesus name for the bible said when he comes a second time every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father so let's leave this place tonight and go to all the world and lift up our one voice in this wilderness and say prepare get ready somebody's coming somebody's coming somebody's coming and i'm glad jesus is his name and aren't you glad when you was a sinner lost in your sin somebody lifted up that one voice the voice of one crying in the wilderness notice some things about john the baptist that are parallel to you and i number one tonight notice the commissioning of john the baptist the bible said in john's gospel that there was a man i love this sent from god whose name was john there was a man sent from god whose name was john even though his mother elizabeth and his father zacharias were very devout and godly and spiritual people even though they were walking with god and they were living for god oh when john came on the scene he was an elizabeth man he was a zacharias man he was not mama's man he was not daddy's man he does not represent the nation of israel he does not represent a religious sect he did not represent a man-made kingdom but son when that old boy came on the scene he was sent by god he was authorized by god he came under the authority and the offences of god he was god's man and may i say this to the church of jesus christ we are not just a civic organization we're not just another religious entity brother we represent the king of kings and the lord of lords this is god's house this is god's book this is god's message this is god's salvation let's get out in this world and let people know politics is not the answer and entertainment's not the answer and money is not the answer but we serve a god that has sent us with a message of hope in despair and light and darkness and truth and deception i came on venus tonight for the king of kings and the lord of lords we're in it for god tonight he was a man sent from god whose name was john notice tonight the characteristics of john the baptist oh let me say it like this he was different than anybody they had ever seen man i'm not here to throw stones tonight but they had seen the levite they had seen the rabbi they had seen the low priest the middle priest and the high priest they had seen the very best that religion could produce but all of a sudden here comes a fellow that breaks the mold of religion and he breaks the bowl of tradition nobody's ever looked like that nobody has ever talked like that nobody has ever preached like that there was something different about john the baptist and the other religionist of his day oh may i just say this tonight america's got enough tradition america's got enough religion america's got enough man-made religion but oh here's our opportunity tonight to say we've got something more than tradition we've got something more than religion we've got old-time holy mount santiago blood bald mount calvary salvation there's a difference in the church our song is different our message is different our voice is different our praise is different brother we're not just religious activities we're the church of the living god the pillar and the ground of truth let's be different tonight may the church get our distinguishing mark back that we're on business for the king of kings and lord of lords john was a holy man and then secondly john was a humble man and bo i want to shake this bush right here the reason why i know he was a holy man was because he was a humble man because somebody that's really walking in true holiness with god they are not proud they're not arrogant they're not condescending i promise you this tonight the closer you get to god the less you think of yourself brother chris does not know this but i have preached with the greatest preachers in america you know how i know they told me they were oh brother john came on the scene and this is the mark of true humility john said somebody's coming there's a fella coming behind me in fact he's greater than me he was before me in fact he is so great i am not even worthy to latch his shoes in fact john said here's how i feel about it he must increase and i must decrease he must increase and i must decrease john said he needs to get real big to you and i need to get real small to you because john said it's not about me and it's not about my family it's not about my ministry it's not about my family tree it's not about my religious pedigree that it's all about this man that's coming of the great one the holy one the great i am all tonight may we lift up the name of jesus high above every name because it's not about you and it's not about me and it's not about our pedigree but it's all about him the rose of sharon the lily of the valley the bride and the morning star who's better than angels and better than moses and better than aaron a better sacrifice established upon a better covenant to bring us better promises that we may walk in a better way and have a better hope and obtain a better resurrection and one day go to a better country because he's higher than the highest he's greater than the greatest he's better than the best and his name is jesus it's not about us but it's all about him to god be the praise to god be the glory let's lift up that one voice and point me in to jesus christ who is the answer to the problems of this world the commissioning the characteristics but number three i want to deal tonight with the calling of john the baptist and what did god call this man to do one thing lift up his one voice you know the only voice that john could lift up was his voice tonight i cannot lift up your voice tonight i cannot lift up your voice tonight i cannot dedicate your life to jesus christ tonight i cannot break your alabaster box i felt something on that at the feet of jesus tonight i cannot blow your trumpet in zion tonight i cannot lift up your holy hands with that wavering to praise and honor a great mighty god oh but hallelujah i can lift up my voice i can lift up my hands i can blow my trumpet i can break my box i can dedicate my life i want you to turn to somebody beside of you tonight and i want you to shake your finger and say hey i can't do it for you i can't do it for you i can't lift your voice i can't blow your trumpet i can't break your box i can't give your life but i'm glad i can't lift up my voice i can break my box i can blow my trumpet i can give god my life and here's how i look at it if i lift up my one voice and you lift up your one voice that's two voices and another one joined and another one joined and another one joined so well glory hallelujah till it's not long to there's a mighty course of voices in our society lifted up magnified the king of kings and lord of lords i want to tell you what america needs to hear tonight and what the next generation needs to hear tonight a bunch of one voices one here one here one there magnifying jesus glorifying jesus let's lift up our one voice in the wilderness and say it's not us but it's him praise the lord and here comes john whew lifting up that one voice you say well brother joe how successful was he at it i'm glad you asked he had been successful enough that a few had received it and believed it and it's down there by the jordan baptizing the converts and one day while he was baptizing john looked up and he used an attention-getting word they say in the creek it means stand in amazement something big is about to happen tom hayes used to say it's it means lookie-lookie but in a redneck it means y'all watch this all of a sudden one day john uses an attention-getting word and he beckons with his hand and he lifts up for one voice and says behold behold stand in amazement standing all something big is about to happen you've never seen anything like this before or after behold stand in amazement lookie-lookie y'all watch this he ain't never seen nothing like it look toby under behold now every eye is turned and he says behold notice what he says behold listen the lamb of god not a lamb not some lamb not one of the many different lambs but the lamb the only lamb there have been another one and they never will be another one they ho the lamb of god may i remind you tonight he is not a door some door he is the door he is not a way or some way but the way he is not a shepherd or some shepherd but he is the shepherd he is not a life or some life he is the life hallelujah he's not a savior some savior one of the many different saviors he is the lamb the gray the truth the life the good shepherd the vine the resurrection i'm glad tonight i know him the lamb of god he lifted up his voice look there he is behold the lamb of god oh they had glimpsed him in times past they had glimpsed him by the smoking altar of abel as he had lifted up a more excellent sacrifice than cain they had glimpsed him on the day of atonement when aaron would walk into the secret place and put the blood on the mercy seat and the shekinah glory of god will come they glimpsed him and in the land of egypt when god put the door home the doorpost they glimpsed him in isaiah's scroll they glimpsed him at ezekiel's wheel they glimpsed him as david shepherd as he sings to the sheep in the valley oh they got a glimpse of him and marcus and micah's preacher they got a glimpse of him in amos's plow they got a glimpse of him in zechariah's fountain they got a glimpse of him in malachi son of righteousness oh but now it's going to go beyond the glimpse it's going to be a gaze he's more than a figure in the shadow there he is for he's better than he will sacrifice and he's better than moses staff and he's better than any sheep he's better than any realm he's better than any prophet behold the lamb of god you've heard about him you've read about him you dreamed about him look there he is [Music] oh can i run a rabbit i wonder if there's anybody in this room tonight you are glad when you was a sinner a half a heart beat from hell somebody in your wilderness what lifted up that one voice and said looky looky behold you're watching us over yonder years he pointed you to the lamb of god for the christian you understand the religionist of his day had never talked like that they had never heard the rabbi say that they had never heard the leave out of the scribe say that they had never heard oh the high priest say that they had never heard a religious figure say that they hold the lamb of god i mean they knew abel had a lamb and they knew moses had a lamb and they knew abel had a lamb and they knew that aaron had a lamb but all of a sudden they're finding out now that god's got one and not just one but the lamb of god he was god's payment he was god's propitiation he was god's answer he was god's atoning savior can i say tonight he's not sent from man he's not made of man jesus it's the god man the god savior the king of every king and the lord of every lord he is the lamb of god and just when they think they had heard it all john shoves it in high gear and they had never heard a religious figure say this look behold the lamb of god and they never heard this that taketh away the sin of the world they had never heard anybody talk like that before take away sin you mean this guilt that i'm living with you mean this condemnation that i'm living with you mean the stain and stings and scar calcium that i'm living with there is somebody that can do something about it yeah boy and up to this point they had only heard this well god can take your sin and separate it as far as the yeast it's from the west that ain't bad they unheard that god could seal it up in a bag that ain't bad they had heard that god could put it in the depths of the sea that ain't bad they'd even heard that god could put it behind this back that ain't bad but all of a sudden for the first time in their life in their wilderness of disappointment and depravity here is a voice that says he can do more than that baby he knew more than that he can take it away he can take it away he can take it away because if it's in a bag it's still there if it's in the depths of the sea it's still there if it's behind its back it's still there if it's far as the east is from the west it's still there listen to this even if it's atoned perpetuated covered it's still under there but all hears this man in their night in their wilderness lifts up his voice and said he's gonna take it away he's not gonna cover it he's to take it away he's not going to put it in a bag he's going to take it away he's not going to put it in the depths of the sea he's going to take it away oh just let me ask you this anybody here tonight saved and know it if you save raise your right hand if you know it raise your left hand if you're glad about it cross them at a quick pace well i got news for you god has no record of your existence before you trusted him as your personal savior someone say pray for me preacher my past is bothering me you ain't got one god took it away oh but then changes are rattling now they're gone god didn't cover your sin he didn't pardon your sin he didn't excuse your sin it's gone it's gone the lamb of god he took it away [Applause] you realize last night on saturday night a lot of people in this world spent their last dollar trying to take guilt and condemnation and doubt and fear away from their life and they woke up this morning and they found more than they had before they went to bed there's people sitting all over america tonight that's drunk every drop of liquor enough to float a battleship they pumped everything in their body there is the pump and yet that guilt and fear and condemnation oh i'll never shake it i'll never shake it i'll never get over this you ain't got to shake it him and all you got to do is come to jesus and claim the rich royal precious blood of the lamb of god and he will lord somebody help me right there he'll take it away he'll take it away he'll take it away never to be brought up again you ask me why i'm happy and i'll just tell you why my sins i wished i could rap i'd do it right there my sins are g-o-e-n-e they're gone tonight they're gone tonight i'm justified the lamb of god he took it away whoa

or play rook or a musician sit around and pick not my family let me tell you what they like to do christmas and thanksgiving talk about all the dumb stupid stuff i did when i was a kid and my three sisters who have no room to talk about anybody's stupidity let me tell you something buddy i know boys are mean but they're right out mean they're flat mean they're bold mean them women they're sneaky mean up there at thanksgiving where my mom lives my sister all three of my sisters joined in brother you oughta heard the stuff they duck up on me halfway through that i raised them i said wait a minute there is no way jeff there is no way that one little boy can be that mean nor that dumb and i looked over that my mother who went through the valley of the shadow of death to bring me in this world i knew if anybody would come to my aid he would be my precious darling mother and i said mama you tell these three hens are picking on me that they're liars out of the pits of hell there's no way one little boy can be that dumb or that mean and my precious mother did i tell you the one that went through the valley the shadow of death the brain in this world said they're right they're telling the truth brother i read back and i said to my precious mother and i said to my three dumb sisters hey you bring up my past if you want to how dumb i was how mean i was how crazy i was you can bring it up all you want to you may never forget it i save enough children glory there's a record book and when god looks down at me all he sees is jesus and the holy ghost and the blood of jesus christ are you struggling tonight his own unholy feeling struggling in your breast i will lift up my one voice and say over there he is the answer the solution the savior jesus christ he can take your sins all away they're gone tonight behold lift up that one voice well the bible said that day that john was baptizing the converts in the mighty waters of the jordan matthew 3 says something that i'm still chewing on but the bible said they were being baptized by john confessing their sins lord no wonder he died of an early age they would walk up to john and confess their sin boy i'm glad it was him and not me this lady said to my wife one time you and brother joe don't do facebook y'all don't know half of what goes on she said we know enough to tear our nerves up there are some things i just don't want to know if you are 35 years old and got a crush on your wife's grandfather i don't know about it lord of mercy some people do not need access to social media people won't know you're dumb if you don't mouse it out but oh the bible said he was down there baptizing converts he would conf he said you ain't gonna throw me down are you no you just gotta confess your sins we're gonna be here a while brother he confesses sin to john john would baptize him and he'd go on his way well this is really going to be good right here another one would walk up to him confess his sin and john would baptize him and he'd send him on his way don't worry about it jeff we ain't got it all night and payback's rough son payback's rough and another confessed their sin john would baptize him and he'd go on his way now i need to preface this for you dignified people that's never shouted in church you've never lifted up a hand oh you may want to sit on your hands because right here is one of the greatest opportunities you will ever have in your life to have a glory hallelujah fit oh they're confessing their sins one by one and john is baptizing him and about that time john looks up whoop and there stands the lord jesus christ he doesn't confess his sins because he don't have any to confess [Applause] whoa he don't confess his sins he don't have any to confess and he said john baptize me son baptize me and oh john said oh lord forbid it i'm not even worthy to untie your shoelaces but he made this interesting statement in the king james he said but john to fulfill righteousness to fulfill righteousness i want you to baptize me real quickly what is righteousness that's what god imparts to the sinner that's what god imputes to your account when you trust him as your savior well how do all heavens and lost people and helians like you and i ever be pronounced righteous and have righteousness imputed to our account only one way we put our faith in the gospel which is the death and the burial and the resurrection of jesus and so jesus says john to fulfill righteousness to show them how righteousness comes to show forth the gospel baptize me boy and john lays him whoa and i felt something on that and john lays him down in that liquid grave on top of his death and burial and then john hallelujah raises him up risen with christ out of that liquid grave and i see jesus standing there with that old red muddy jordan water dripping down his face down his garments i don't know what he did for john i don't know what he did for jesus i don't know what it did for the the bystanders but i know what it did to heaven it tore it up and god took his hands and pushed back the clouds sent the holy ghost on the wings of a dove and it flew out of the throne of god whoo and it hovered over the shoulders of the son of god and god almighty with a voice that shook the foundations of the earth my god leaned over the balconies of heaven and said oh yeah this is my beloved son in whom i'm well pleased that wasn't john's voice and that was the priest's voice that wasn't a rabbi's voice that wasn't even the prophet's voice that was god's voice hold on to your hands you're going to act plump pentecostal right here if you ain't careful and john was faithful it lifted up his voice to god said i think i'll help him i think i'll get in on it and god started lifting up his voice they had heard john's voice but now they're hearing god's voice they had heard the voice of the prophet they had heard the voice of the preacher they had heard the voice of the scribe but they had never heard a voice like god almighty's they're hearing his voice i want to say tonight church if we lift up our voice enough it won't be long that god will come by and he'll join in and he'll lift up his voice they need to hear our voice but they really need to hear his voice well glory i grew up in a preacher's home and i'm not even mad about it i'm not a recovering fundamentalist the only thing i'm trying to recover from is ignorance i'm not ashamed of my mama and my daddy and the way that i was raised i would only tell this around close friends and i believe i'm around close friends thank all three of my close friends for saying that to me but my mama was church of god old-fashioned shouting church of god my daddy was baptist but the dry kind the dead kind daddy was saved but didn't know how to enjoy it mama was saved she hoped but she knew how to enjoy what she hoped so them two got together and my mama got to believing like my daddy but then by that he got to acting like my mama and then here i come and i got the best of both worlds i believe like a baptist and enjoyed like a holy roller uh by the way holy roller ain't all that bad because if you're saved you ought to be holy and if you're rolling you're going somewhere and if you want to swap insults i'd rather be called holy roller than prune face [Applause] daddy would preach hack i'll tell you glory to god hallelujah and cry and laugh at the same time get happy and go i asked him i said daddy what's that mean he said that's hallelujah in hebrew then my little mama thank you jesus hallelujah mama's been a baptist for 70 years and she's she'll still do that only if she gets happy hallelujah if my mama was here tonight you wouldn't have to say is that joe's mother you'd know it because you'd hear amen honey preach it baby doll whoop sick him holy ghost and if she looked over at you and you were acting like you wasn't enjoyed she'd sit right down the side of you and shout in your ear i'm not ashamed i'm not ashamed boy i was so full of the world and had my life all planned out what i wanted to do and dad knew i was really struggling he came in my bedroom over there in reedsville and said son get your clothes on we're going to church tonight and it was thursday and all i said was dad it's thursday and i had one of them kind of parents you had to be real careful when you wanted to discuss something because if they had any inkling at all you were about to be a smart aleck they'd have took you to the woodshed and there'd been some flesh said can i say amen right there get up we're going i said dad where we're going he said we're going to tabernacle baptists in reedsville maze jackson's preaching over there tonight we're going we got there a little bit late i had to sit in the back with the snuff dippers sorry about that back over here oh lord my wife's in the back elizabeth this was the big one sitting there in the back boy if you ever saw mage jackson preach in person it was a sight to behold he preached on the tiptoes and he didn't point the fingers straight upon that cricket he'd take his tie hallelujah the bible said neighbor you must be born again glory to god somebody say amen right well son he got to preaching that night he got to bouncing on them toes and son he struck the motherlode the holy ghost power some that thing blowed up like old faithful some they got the praise in god they got the running they got to throwing babies and flower pots i mean it it got on and i looked over there but there's my dad on this side's my mama hallelujah whoa thank you jesus glory to god thank you jesus glory to god and i was an old man of god in front of me named william cobb from burlington north carolina he was four foot tall and four foot wide i just described every preacher in america and a little bald headed feller had big old massive jaws and you know a lot of people when they shout they go praise the lord you know hallelujah amen not him he went glory to god

brother cobb is giving me laps full of glory and i'm already on the back and the holy ghost said you can't go that way and you can't go that way and you can't go that way and you better not go that way i said what do you want me to do he said join in come on in the water's fine and son when i come to i stand on the back of that pew of praising god and are shouting the glory down and buddy god done something in my life that night that i've never gotten over i'm not ashamed i'm not ashamed i heard the voice of my daddy i heard the voice of my mama i've heard the voice of your daddies i've heard the voice of the singer i want to thank god for every voice i heard but here it is chris whoa but one night i heard a voice and it wasn't daddy's it wasn't mama's he wasn't the voice of the singer the teacher or the preacher god i heard his voice but the christ noticed tonight they didn't hear god's voice they heard john's voice i'm glad i heard god's voice but i'm glad i heard mama's voice and daddy's voice therefore i knew god's voice when i heard it let's take another vote on this if you save raise your right hand if you know it raise your left hand if you plumb glad about it
