:35:01
I opened the Bible,
and I read the 18th Psalm.
:35:06
"The Lord is my rock and my fortress."
:35:09
"The Lord is my fortress."
Do you hear that? The Lord.
:35:12
- Praise the Lord!
- The Lord is my rock!
:35:15
The next mornin'
I walked into a general store.
:35:17
"What are you sellin' today?
Gold-plated vacuum cleaners?"
:35:21
"No, sir. You can get better vacuum
cleaners at Sears and Roebuck,
:35:24
and you can get 'em cheaper, but
you can't beat our electric toasters."
:35:28
He sat down and wrote me
the biggest order of the year.
:35:31
Hallelujah!
:35:32
Can you hear me, Lord? Thank you, Lord.
:35:36
I didn't make that sale, Lord.
You did. Thank you.
:35:42
Hallelujah!
:35:45
And when I told my pals...
:35:48
when I told my pals I was
comin' to Jesus, they laughed.
:35:52
But Sister Falconer didn't laugh.
:35:54
She said "Go ahead, brother.
Give 'em hell."
:35:57
I'm going to give you
all the hell in the Bible,
:35:59
and if you don't like it, fix it up with
the Lord because the Lord put it there.
:36:03
Listen to me, sinners.
:36:05
Listen to me, sinners.
:36:07
You can't pray to kingdom come
and play bridge or poker. And, Mother,
:36:12
you can't say your psalms and look
at God through the bottom of a beer mug.
:36:16
And you, brother,
:36:17
you can't go to church on Sunday
and cheat at business on Monday.
:36:21
We're comin' back to you, God. We're
comin' back to the old-time religion!
:36:30
And what is religion?
:36:33
What is religion?
:36:35
Religion is love.
:36:37
And love is the morning
and the evening star.
:36:40
Love, the eternal glorious musicmaker.
:36:43
Love! Not the carnal love,
but the divine love.
:36:46
And where does this great love
come from? It comes direct from God!
:36:55
I admit I'm not smart like some of them...
:36:58
some of them smart-alecky professors,
wise-guy writers and agitators.
