Evans: I, I want to share with you a little story that I heard.
And I'm sure that many of us can identify with it.
A young man who went swimming the other day.
Went on out there into deep water.
His father and others were standing on the bank.
When they looked up.
This youngman was bout to drown.
Something had happened while out there trying to swim.
And they saw him going down.
Naturally his family.
Especially his father got excited, got nervous but the father couldn't swim.
And you know how it is standing by wanting to do something for a child.
You're helpless.
So the father reached around and just so happened.
There was a rope there and he took that rope and threw it (hallelujah) and said, son catch hold to the rope.
The young man caught the rope.
The father started pulling him in but he looked up and saw that the rope was breaking (can I get a witness) and he cried to his father, father, father my rope is breaking.
The father replied to the son and said, reach beyond the break and hold on.
Look to somebody again and say reach beyond the break.
C'mon tell somebody.
Say reach beyond the break and hold on.
And that's all I wanna tell somebody.
Your rope of hope is almost broke.
Your rope of faith is almost broke.
Your rope of patience is almost broke.
But reach.
I wish I had somebody to say reach beyond the break hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hold on and don't let go your faith.
And reach (
Oh Lawd) beyond the break and hold on, hold on (you need to hold on) hold on (just a little while longer) and reach beyond the break and hold on, hold on (hold on, hold on) and don't let go your faith.
Bingham: I seen the lighting flashing.
Can I get a witness here.
I heard.
The thunder roll.
Say it reverend.
Evans: I felt, felt sin make a dash.
He was trying, trying to conquer my soul.
Bingham: Oh.
But I heard a voice from Jesus.
You know what he was telling me.
What was he saying.
Evans: He was telling me, telling me, telling me to still fight on.
Bingham: Oh.
You know what he said.
He said, hold on.
He said, hold on, hold on and don't let go your faith (hallelujah).
Can we say it one more time.
Reach.
Somebodies going through something.
But you got to.
Reach beyond the break and hold on, hold on, hold on.
And reach beyond the break and hold on, hold on.
