  • - 9/11 was on tuesday
  • 00:16:16.698 --> 00:16:19.368
  • And the quartet convention started on the monday.
  • 00:16:19.368 --> 00:16:22.704
  • And on friday, we were supposed to have this sing-along,
  • 00:16:22.704 --> 00:16:25.407
  • Which we did.
  • 00:16:25.407 --> 00:16:26.675
  • You know how serious the whole week was.
  • 00:16:26.675 --> 00:16:29.411
  • You know, what are we gonna do?
  • 00:16:29.411 --> 00:16:31.313
  • And, you know, and what are we gonna sing?
  • 00:16:31.313 --> 00:16:36.151
  • And gloria did this spontaneously,
  • 00:16:36.218 --> 00:16:39.321
  • And we copied it off.
  • 00:16:39.321 --> 00:16:40.456
  • It's not something she had written.
  • 00:16:40.456 --> 00:16:42.624
  • But we copied it off, and she read this,
  • 00:16:42.624 --> 00:16:47.029
  • I don't know, before the song or after the song.
  • 00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:49.631
  • But in the context, it had a whole lot of meaning.
  • 00:16:49.631 --> 00:16:54.803
  • - i think when that happened, we all thought
  • 00:16:54.803 --> 00:16:57.506
  • That the whole world was going to come apart.
  • 00:16:57.506 --> 00:17:00.042
  • And we've thought this over and over again through history.
  • 00:17:00.042 --> 00:17:04.880
  • And i think, if anything-- it tells us anything
  • 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.983
  • Is that god is in charge.
  • 00:17:07.983 --> 00:17:10.719
  • And even if we die,
  • 00:17:10.719 --> 00:17:15.124

  • We're all a little nervous in america.
  • 00:17:33.442 --> 00:17:35.410
  • Somebody messed with our boat.
  • 00:17:35.410 --> 00:17:37.479
  • And most of us are figuring out how much stuff
  • 00:17:37.479 --> 00:17:39.481
  • We should store up,
  • 00:17:39.481 --> 00:17:41.483
  • How many sailing lessons we ought to take.
  • 00:17:41.483 --> 00:17:43.819
  • How much ammunition should we store
  • 00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:45.454
  • Under the seats for protection from the pirates?
  • 00:17:45.454 --> 00:17:48.857
  • How many life jackets?
  • 00:17:48.857 --> 00:17:50.759
  • Can i remind you who you are?
  • 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.295
  • You're children of the king, and he speaks to the storm.
  • 00:17:53.295 --> 00:18:00.002
  • Now, they can implode the twin towers
  • 00:18:00.068 --> 00:18:01.904
  • Of the world trade center,
  • 00:18:01.904 --> 00:18:03.772
  • But they can't destroy our strong tower of faith.
  • 00:18:03.772 --> 00:18:07.176
  • They can undermine our economy,
  • 00:18:07.176 --> 00:18:09.077
  • But they can't take away our riches in christ jesus.
  • 00:18:09.077 --> 00:18:12.481
  • They can destroy our national systems of transportation,
  • 00:18:12.481 --> 00:18:16.118
  • But they can't cause our reservation
  • 00:18:16.118 --> 00:18:17.920
  • To fly away to glory to be canceled.
  • 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.656
  • They can make us question our national security,
  • 00:18:20.656 --> 00:18:23.492
  • But they can never destroy a peace
  • 00:18:23.492 --> 00:18:25.294
  • That passes all understanding.
  • 00:18:25.294 --> 00:18:27.596
  • And maybe you have felt bombarded
  • 00:18:27.596 --> 00:18:29.231
  • By information, the news, the voices in the media.
  • 00:18:29.231 --> 00:18:33.402
  • This week, why don't you turn off the tv,
  • 00:18:33.402 --> 00:18:35.971
  • Unplug the computer, and listen to the still, small voice
  • 00:18:35.971 --> 00:18:39.241
  • That says, my peace i give to you.
  • 00:18:39.241 --> 00:18:42.678
  • Not as the world gives give i unto you.
  • 00:18:42.678 --> 00:18:45.647
  • Let not your heart be troubled.
  • 00:18:45.647 --> 00:18:48.150
  • Neither let it be afraid.
  • 00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.586
  • This peace doesn't come from ships and supplies.
  • 00:18:50.586 --> 00:18:54.122
  • It comes from the voice that stills the storm.
  • 00:18:54.122 --> 00:18:57.092
  • And most of the storm is in us.
  • 00:18:57.092 --> 00:18:59.861
  • It was in us before the trade tower incident.
  • 00:18:59.861 --> 00:19:03.232
  • And that's where the chaos always comes from.
  • 00:19:03.232 --> 00:19:06.435
  • Once we settle that storm, no other storms
  • 00:19:06.435 --> 00:19:09.605
  • Can disrupt our lives, because life is eternal and life wins.
  • 00:19:09.605 --> 00:19:14.376

  • 00:48:49.016 --> 00:48:50.450
  • He wrote more happy songs than almost any other songwriter.
  • 00:48:50.450 --> 00:48:53.153
  • He gave our feet songs to dance to
  • 00:48:53.153 --> 00:48:55.522
  • When we were feeling mighty fine.
  • 00:48:55.522 --> 00:48:57.991
  • He seemed to feel the happy rhythms of life itself.
  • 00:48:57.991 --> 00:49:01.261
  • And how he loved rhythms--
  • 00:49:01.261 --> 00:49:03.630
  • Intricate, syncopated, grin-making rhythms.
  • 00:49:03.630 --> 00:49:07.467
  • Mosie also walked the path of loneliness and doubt.
  • 00:49:07.467 --> 00:49:11.338
  • He gave us chords and words to express the times of fog
  • 00:49:11.338 --> 00:49:15.242
  • When nothing seems clear
  • 00:49:15.242 --> 00:49:16.777
  • And happy rhythms are but a dim memory.
  • 00:49:16.777 --> 00:49:19.880
  • He was a master of affirming a deep faith
  • 00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:22.916
  • And the choice to trust what we have come to know
  • 00:49:22.916 --> 00:49:26.019
  • From our history with god.
  • 00:49:26.019 --> 00:49:27.988
  • In so many of his songs, he reminded us to trust
  • 00:49:27.988 --> 00:49:30.824
  • What we have experienced about the character of our father
  • 00:49:30.824 --> 00:49:34.895
  • Until the mist subsides, the path begins to reappear,
  • 00:49:34.895 --> 00:49:39.533
  • And the joy returns.
  • 00:49:39.533 --> 00:49:41.468
  • When we feel the pain of loneliness,
  • 00:49:41.468 --> 00:49:43.303
  • He encouraged us to stay put in the place
  • 00:49:43.303 --> 00:49:45.972
  • Where no one stands alone.
  • 00:49:45.972 --> 00:49:47.941
  • He helped us recognize the tricks of the enemy
  • 00:49:47.941 --> 00:49:50.811
  • Of our souls that uses as his battle tactic
  • 00:49:50.811 --> 00:49:54.381
  • The times of discouragement to whisper the toxic notion,
  • 00:49:54.381 --> 00:49:58.785
  • There's no need to try.
  • 00:49:58.785 --> 00:50:00.754
  • There's no end of sorrow.
  • 00:50:00.754 --> 00:50:02.722
  • There's no hope by and by.
  • 00:50:02.722 --> 00:50:06.093
  • Yet even if this whole human experience
  • 00:50:06.093 --> 00:50:09.329
  • Turns out to be a storm of sorts, a strong song
  • 00:50:09.329 --> 00:50:13.066
  • Appears at just the right time to throw us a buoy
  • 00:50:13.066 --> 00:50:17.070
  • With the assurance that the storm will indeed pass by
  • 00:50:17.070 --> 00:50:20.807
  • And that our souls are dwelling in a land
  • 00:50:20.807 --> 00:50:23.009
  • Where the tempest never comes.

  • If mosie left us any message in his 84 years of writing,
  • 00:50:25.612 --> 00:50:29.616
  • It is clear that the message would be,

  • Don't let satan steal your joy.

  • That there is one who walks beside us
