- When i thought about this project,
- 00:05:10.666 --> 00:05:13.669
- I wanted to sit down with you.
- 00:05:13.669 --> 00:05:16.239

- But i said, i want gloria, 'cause the conversations
- 00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:27.583
- We've had on the bus
- 00:05:27.583 --> 00:05:30.019
- And all through the years
- 00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:31.521
- And then driving home the other day,
- 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:33.856
- The hour-long conversation i had with you
- 00:05:33.856 --> 00:05:36.459
- About your family coming to faith.
- 00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:39.162
- There's still so much i don't know about you too.
- 00:05:39.162 --> 00:05:41.864
- But this project is from an era of time in my life
- 00:05:41.864 --> 00:05:47.970
- Between 1980 and probably 1988.
- 00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:54.677
- Right when i joined y'all, i wrote all these songs.
- 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:57.814
- And i was thinking today, i never dreamed in those years
- 00:05:57.814 --> 00:06:02.452
- That one day, i'd be sitting down
- 00:06:02.452 --> 00:06:04.420
- With the queen of lyrics in gospel music.
- 00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:08.724
- Don't give me that face.
- 00:06:08.724 --> 00:06:10.893
- I mean, who else is there?
- 00:06:10.893 --> 00:06:12.662
- I mean, in my lifetime--
- 00:06:12.662 --> 00:06:13.963
- - fanny crosby, i think, is a big--
- 00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:15.932
- You're ignoring a--[laughs] - oh, yes, of course.
- 00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:17.900
- I'm not leaving her out or dottie rambo or many others.
- 00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:20.603
- - yeah, there's lots of them.
- 00:06:20.603 --> 00:06:21.637
- - but in my lifetime,
- 00:06:21.637 --> 00:06:24.273
- I didn't know fanny crosby.
- 00:06:24.273 --> 00:06:26.642
- I know gloria gaither.
- 00:06:26.642 --> 00:06:29.045
- And one thing i love about you is,
- 00:06:29.045 --> 00:06:31.414
- You are madly in love with jesus, too,
- 00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:35.251
- And you love to talk about it.
- 00:06:35.251 --> 00:06:36.719
- - that's a favorite topic, yeah.
- 00:06:36.719 --> 00:06:38.154
- - i know, and i've learned so much about him from you.
- 00:06:38.154 --> 00:06:41.090
- And i want to thank you for that.
- 00:06:41.090 --> 00:06:43.025
- So this is a great honor for me today
- 00:06:43.025 --> 00:06:46.562
- To be interviewed by you.
- 00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:48.865
- Oh, lord, where is this going?
- 00:06:48.865 --> 00:06:50.333
- - this is sort of like coffee in the morning on the bus,
- 00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:53.002
- Except we're all dressed up and our hair is combed.
- 00:06:53.002 --> 00:06:55.638
- - yeah. [laughs]
- 00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:57.573
- - morning in the bus is like,
- 00:06:57.573 --> 00:07:00.243
- We both look like death warmed over
- 00:07:00.243 --> 00:07:02.678
- And we have three cups of coffee in a row.
- 00:07:02.678 --> 00:07:05.781
- - yeah, and have great conversations.
- 00:07:05.781 --> 00:07:08.284
- - i'm hooked up on something you just said.
- 00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:11.153
- You wrote these songs in this project
- 00:07:11.153 --> 00:07:13.990
- Pretty much in a clump?
- 00:07:13.990 --> 00:07:16.626
- - well, around 1980 when i graduated from college
- 00:07:16.626 --> 00:07:20.162
- And i was doing this full-time,
- 00:07:20.162 --> 00:07:21.697
- It was me alone in the car a lot.
- 00:07:21.697 --> 00:07:24.867
- And am and fm radio was all we had.
- 00:07:24.867 --> 00:07:27.537
- So it was a lot of silence.
- 00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:29.071
- I would just drive.
- 00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:30.373
- And i was wanting to write songs.
- 00:07:30.373 --> 00:07:32.341
- I just had a passion at that time
- 00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:35.945
- To be a songwriter.
- 00:07:35.945 --> 00:07:37.813
- You know, my goal back then, as far as career-wise,
- 00:07:37.813 --> 00:07:43.152
- Was to be a word recording artist.
- 00:07:43.152 --> 00:07:45.354
- And i thought, well, when i become a word recording artist,
- 00:07:45.354 --> 00:07:47.790
- I want to have some songs,
- 00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:49.258
- 'cause i want to be a word songwriter too.
- 00:07:49.258 --> 00:07:51.661
- That was the apex for me at that time.
- 00:07:51.661 --> 00:07:53.863
- You know, when you're getting started
- 00:07:53.863 --> 00:07:55.731
- And you see sandi patty up there on that record label
- 00:07:55.731 --> 00:07:59.135
- And this one on that record l--
- 00:07:59.135 --> 00:08:00.736
- You know, you want to be there, too, i guess.
- 00:08:00.736 --> 00:08:03.706
- And so i wanted to write songs.
- 00:08:03.706 --> 00:08:07.109
- And i thought of little things i thought
- 00:08:07.109 --> 00:08:09.211
- Would go good in songs,
- 00:08:09.211 --> 00:08:10.479
- Like he wants to spend eternity with me.
- 00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:13.049
- I mean, that thought alone.
- 00:08:13.049 --> 00:08:15.851
- Here's this god of all eternity past.
- 00:08:15.851 --> 00:08:20.122
- Where did he decide he needed me?
- 00:08:20.122 --> 00:08:23.426
- I don't know when that happened, but i'm not--
- 00:08:23.426 --> 00:08:25.494
- And when i say me, i mean all of us.
- 00:08:25.494 --> 00:08:28.230
- And now he wants to spend the rest of it with me.
- 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:32.735
- Well, that fired me up, and i wrote it.

- - yeah, i thought you had. - [laughs]
- 00:12:00.676 --> 00:12:02.511
- - but that brings a certain thing out of you,
- 00:12:02.511 --> 00:12:05.281
- And that is that you jump around.
- 00:12:05.281 --> 00:12:08.517
- You know, your brain jumps.
- 00:12:08.517 --> 00:12:10.886
- You used to say you chased your brain around the house
- 00:12:10.886 --> 00:12:12.688
- Until you got, you know, on some medication.
- 00:12:12.688 --> 00:12:14.256

- 00:12:14.256 --> 00:12:15.758
- And i got rid of the h. i'm tired.
- 00:12:15.758 --> 00:12:18.761

- 00:12:18.761 --> 00:12:22.031
- - it'll come back.
- 00:12:22.031 --> 00:12:23.132
- - but the good thing about that is
- 00:12:23.132 --> 00:12:24.867
- That you tend to pay attention in song bites.
- 00:12:24.867 --> 00:12:31.440
- Like, you'll hear somebody say something
- 00:12:31.507 --> 00:12:33.442
- And they'll just, like, oh, that,
- 00:12:33.442 --> 00:12:34.510
- Yeah, oh, let's talk about that.
- 00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:36.445
- - yeah.
- 00:12:36.445 --> 00:12:37.546
- - but when you write,
- 00:12:37.546 --> 00:12:38.881
- You also tend to write like that.
- 00:12:38.881 --> 00:12:41.750
- - in sound bites?
- 00:12:41.750 --> 00:12:42.985
- - you say sound bites that i can't forget.
- 00:12:42.985 --> 00:12:46.188
- - oh. wow.
- 00:12:46.188 --> 00:12:48.157
- That's a compliment.
- 00:12:48.157 --> 00:12:49.491
- - so for instance, let me give you a couple.
- 00:12:49.491 --> 00:12:54.263
- I love this line that came out of "rest in the arms of god":
- 00:12:54.263 --> 00:13:00.236
- When all you can do has already been done.
- 00:13:00.236 --> 00:13:06.242
- Now, that sounds simplistic, but that really caught me.
- 00:13:06.308 --> 00:13:09.778
- It was like, you think you got to keep doing stuff...
- 00:13:09.778 --> 00:13:13.249
- - yeah.
- 00:13:13.249 --> 00:13:14.617
- - 'cause you're not getting the result that you want.
- 00:13:14.617 --> 00:13:16.151
- - and i'm not saying you shouldn't do stuff.
- 00:13:16.151 --> 00:13:18.988
- - no, but sometimes you're up against the wall
- 00:13:18.988 --> 00:13:20.823

- 00:13:20.823 --> 00:13:22.258
