00:26:36.057 --> 00:26:36.758
For him as well as what shadrach meshach and i bendigo

Said to king nebuchadnezzar that god is able to deliver us
00:26:40.662 --> 00:26:43.531
That god is able to deliver us but even if he doesn't we will

Together created this dynamic moment in the movie and the
00:26:55.410 --> 00:26:56.111
Moment in the movie and the song even if ends with it as
00:26:56.244 --> 00:26:59.781
Song even if ends with it as well with my soul it's the
00:26:59.915 --> 00:27:00.548
Well with my soul it's the blending of the new and the old
00:27:00.682 --> 00:27:03.118
Blending of the new and the old which we need so much in our
00:27:03.251 --> 00:27:03.885

Behind them that are are how god took tragedy how he took

God took tragedy how he took the end of things the loss of
00:27:17.832 --> 00:27:18.633
The end of things the loss of things because the person that
00:27:18.767 --> 00:27:21.436
Things because the person that it happened to to or persons
00:27:21.569 --> 00:27:24.906

Turned back to him in gratitude for his many blessings.
00:27:25.874 --> 00:27:29.077
For his many blessings. it's like there's something
00:27:29.210 --> 00:27:29.744
It's like there's something that spawns something out
00:27:29.878 --> 00:27:32.280
That spawns something out person that is what gives them
00:27:32.414 --> 00:27:33.048

And people who were deep in the in the scripture.

In the scripture. and a good hymn is simply a
00:27:47.028 --> 00:27:47.762
And a good hymn is simply a bible study been set to music.
00:27:47.896 --> 00:27:51.266
Bible study been set to music. >> and apart from the bible
00:27:51.399 --> 00:27:52.200

But i don't want to lose the old hymns and.
00:28:11.252 --> 00:28:13.488
Old hymns and. churches have got to get back
00:28:13.621 --> 00:28:14.222
Churches have got to get back to learning how to blend the

To learning how to blend the old with.
00:28:15.123 --> 00:28:18.226
Old with. jesus said the wise man brings
00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:19.027
Jesus said the wise man brings out of his storehouse treasures
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:21.663
Out of his storehouse treasures both old and new.
00:28:21.796 --> 00:28:22.163
Both old and new. well that's good.
00:28:22.297 --> 00:28:22.664
Well that's good. and so i book the origin of
