00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,060
In the fulfillment of your will, he gave himself up to death.
2
00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:17,660
But by rising from the dead, he destroyed the dead and restored life.
3
00:00:17,660 --> 00:00:25,180
And that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him, he sent the Holy Spirit from
4
00:00:25,180 --> 00:00:36,220
you, Father, as his first gift to those who believe, to complete his work on earth and
5
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:40,020
bring us the fullness of grace.
6
00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:48,260
Father, may this Holy Spirit sanctify these offerings.
7
00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:55,580
Let them become the body and blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord, as we celebrate the great
8
00:00:55,580 --> 00:01:00,860
mystery which he left us at the Blasting Covenant.
9
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:06,140
He always loved those who were his own in the world.
10
00:01:06,140 --> 00:01:15,140
When the time came for him, his Heavenly Father, he showed the depth of his love.
11
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:23,860
While they were at supper, he took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread, gave it to the
12
00:01:23,860 --> 00:01:30,220
disciples, saying, take this, all of you, and eat it.
13
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:34,660
This is my body, which will be given up for you.
14
00:01:45,140 --> 00:02:06,100
In the same way, he took the cup, filled it with wine, he gave your thanks, and giving
15
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:13,460
the cup to his disciples, said, take this, all of you, and drink from it.
16
00:02:13,540 --> 00:02:19,780
This is the cup of my life, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant.
17
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:26,260
It will be shed for you and for all men, so that sins may be forgiven.
18
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:29,220
Do this in memory of me.
19
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:33,460
Let us sing, have mercy on us.
20
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:59,060
Sing all praises to Jesus, for his good.
21
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:13,060
He has died to make us free.
22
00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:41,060
For his good, praise be to Jesus.
23
00:04:43,060 --> 00:05:05,060
Praise be to Jesus, Lamb of God.
24
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:23,060
Lamb of God.
25
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:47,060
Lamb of God.
26
00:05:47,060 --> 00:05:59,060
Today, away our sins.
27
00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:15,060
Have mercy upon us.
28
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:27,060
He has broken the chains of death.
29
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:41,060
For his good.
30
00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:55,060
He is liberation.
31
00:06:55,060 --> 00:07:09,060
For his good.
32
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:23,060
Praise be to the Father.
33
00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:35,060
Lamb of God.
34
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:49,060
Lamb of God.
35
00:07:49,060 --> 00:08:01,060
Lamb of God.
36
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:15,060
Praise be to the Father.
37
00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:27,060
Born of the Holy Ghost.
38
00:08:27,060 --> 00:08:39,060
Forever and ever.
39
00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:57,060
Forever and ever. Amen.
40
00:08:57,060 --> 00:09:05,060
This is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.
41
00:09:05,060 --> 00:09:17,060
Happy are those who are called to his supper.
42
00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:21,060
May the body of Christ bring me life everlasting.
43
00:09:35,060 --> 00:09:37,060
Amen.
44
00:10:05,060 --> 00:10:07,060
Amen.
45
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:00,160
This little light of mine. I'm going to let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
46
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,640
Well, I said, let it shine.
47
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:09,120
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
48
00:11:10,860 --> 00:11:13,340
I'm going to let it shine.
49
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:16,320
I'm going to let it shine.
50
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,800
I'm going to let it shine.
51
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,300
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
52
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:26,300
Well, you know, Jesus gave it to me.
53
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:29,300
I'm going to let it shine.
54
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:31,800
Jesus gave it to me.
55
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,800
I'm going to let it shine.
56
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,300
Jesus gave it to me.
57
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,800
And I'm going to let it shine.
58
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,300
I'm gonna let it shine.
59
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,280
Let it shine, let it shine.
60
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,260
Well, I said this little light of mine.
61
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:49,240
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine.
62
00:11:49,240 --> 00:12:05,040
Whoo.
63
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:25,240
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
64
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,240
Well, I say all in my home, I'm gonna let it shine.
65
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,240
All in my home, I'm gonna let it shine.
66
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:45,240
All in my home, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
67
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,240
That's why I said this little light of mine
68
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,240
I said this little light of mine
69
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,240
I said this little light of mine
70
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,240
I said this little light of mine
71
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,240
I said this little light of mine
72
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,240
Well, you know my Lord gave it to me
73
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,240
That I'm gonna let it shine
74
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:19,240
One more time I said this little light of mine
75
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,240
One more time I said this little light of mine
76
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:43,100
You know that I'm going to let it shine.
77
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:44,100
let it shine
78
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,100
let it shine
79
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:50,100
Well, I said up and down the roadside.
80
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:57,700
I'm gonna let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine.
81
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:03,700
Every morning I'm gonna let it shine, you know that I'm gonna let it shine
82
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:10,700
Yeah, I said you've been carrying my burden.
83
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:17,700
I'm gonna let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine.
84
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:22,700
I'm gonna let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine
85
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:27,700
Yeah, I said you've been carrying my burden.
86
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,700
Well, you don't come back in to me,
87
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:34,180
yes you do, and I'm gonna let it shine
88
00:14:34,180 --> 00:14:37,180
I'm gonna let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine, I'm gonna let it shine.
89
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,180
Yeah, all your days will be too long,
90
00:14:42,180 --> 00:14:44,180
I'm gonna let it shine.
91
00:14:44,180 --> 00:14:45,680
I'm gonna let it shine.
92
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,680
I'm gonna let it shine.
93
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,180
That's all I can say, is I'm gonna let it shine.
94
00:14:52,180 --> 00:14:53,680
I'm gonna let it shine.
95
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,180
I'm gonna let it shine.
96
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,140
Let it shine
97
00:15:01,140 --> 00:15:04,140
I'm gonna let it shine.
98
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,640
I'm gonna let it shine.
99
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,140
One more time, I'll try to say it.
100
00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:14,120
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
101
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:30,480
There's so many beautiful people here.
102
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:37,880
The Lord's people truly have gathered, truly have been at the table of his mercy and his
103
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:43,160
justice where he has fed us full.
104
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:52,280
When that time comes, I know there's going to be plenty good room, plenty good room in
105
00:16:52,280 --> 00:17:02,880
my Father's kingdom for those who come from Africa, from Europe, from Asia, from Australia,
106
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,360
from all over the world.
107
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:15,360
I know my God has got plenty good room and there's nobody going to be put out, no time,
108
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:28,360
no how, and I'm ready to say there is plenty good room, plenty good room, plenty good room
109
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:32,360
in my Father's, in my Father's kingdom.
110
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:37,360
Plenty, plenty, plenty good room.
111
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:42,360
So choose your seat and sit down.
112
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,360
Won't you do that?
113
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:49,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room.
114
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:56,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's kingdom.
115
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:07,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's kingdom.
116
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:12,360
Well, I would not be a liar.
117
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:18,360
I'll tell you the reason why.
118
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:28,360
For if my Lord should call me, I wouldn't be ready to lie.
119
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:42,360
But I know there's plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's kingdom.
120
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:47,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room.
121
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:53,360
So choose your seat and sit down.
122
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:58,360
Well, I would not be a backslider.
123
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:04,360
I'm going to tell you the reason why.
124
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:14,360
For if my Lord should call my name, I wouldn't be ready to lie.
125
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:17,360
But I will witness that.
126
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:27,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's kingdom.
127
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:37,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's kingdom.
128
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:46,360
Now, I still believe that even in the hardest, in the quiet person, there's an ability to catch a foot.
129
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,360
And to know that deep down inside, there is plenty good room.
130
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:53,360
And I don't care who you are, how high, my God is higher.
131
00:19:53,360 --> 00:20:06,360
And I know there's plenty good room, plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's, my Father's, my Father's, my Father's kingdom.
132
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:10,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room.
133
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:16,360
So choose your seat and sit down.
134
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:28,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room, plenty good room in my Father's kingdom.
135
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:32,360
Plenty good room, plenty good room.
136
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:37,360
So choose your seat and sit down.
137
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:43,360
So choose your seat and sit down.
138
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:49,360
So choose your seat and sit down.
139
00:20:49,360 --> 00:21:03,360
So choose your seat and sit down.
140
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:18,360
Thank you.
141
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:32,360
We could not finish this service without saying a word of thanks and of appreciation to all of the people
142
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:39,360
who worked so hard to make it what it was.
143
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:46,360
It was not all that we wanted it to be.
144
00:21:46,360 --> 00:22:02,360
But it was more than many might have expected.
145
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:17,360
I know that I run the risk of leaving people out when I single out individuals to be thanked.
146
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:40,360
But I must mention, first of all, in general, all our musicians, choirs who came from Baltimore, Washington,
147
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:51,360
and even Philadelphia.
148
00:22:51,360 --> 00:23:06,360
The choir directors, Mr. Bob Ray and Mr. Avon Gillespie, and our soloists.
149
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:14,360
I would like to thank everyone else who had anything to do with making it worthwhile.
150
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:20,360
And I would hope you would understand if I don't try to go down a whole long enumeration.
151
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:26,360
But there are two people that I must mention by name.
152
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:42,360
One is standing before you here, Father David Benz.
153
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:52,360
Without a superhuman effort to do the impossible in terms of organization that he did, we would not have gotten very far.
154
00:23:52,360 --> 00:24:04,360
And beyond that, I would like to thank a very close personal friend of mine, without whom much of what you see would not be here.
155
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:18,360
And that is Mr. David Comelli.
156
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:32,360
And I would like to thank all of you who came out to join with us in this festival of the spirit, who came out to drink from this river of living water.
157
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:58,360
I would like to thank in particular our bishops from Africa who came and joined with us on this occasion.
158
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:11,360
And our own four black bishops from here in the United States.
159
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:25,360
I will not single them out, but I would like to thank especially Bishop Marino for his words of wisdom.
160
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:44,360
And I would like to thank all of you, all of you, wherever you came from, for coming and sharing with us this celebration. Thank you.
161
00:25:44,360 --> 00:26:03,360
It would be wrong if I did not thank in particular the papal legate, Cardinal Knox.
162
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:21,360
And in a very special way, our presiding celebrant, Cardinal Otunga.
163
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:43,360
Thank you.
164
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:19,360
Let us pray.
165
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:35,360
