:34:03
Well...
:34:08
I could tell the sinners
I'm a... I'm a salesman, just like that.
:34:14
I come into one of them...
miserable hotel rooms.
:34:18
I'm discouraged.
I got no sales to chalk up.
:34:21
Nothin' to read. I'm lonely.
:34:24
I'm just dyin' for a drink. Some of them
salesmen drink somethin' terrible.
:34:29
And I reach my hand into
a dresser drawer... and what do I find?
:34:35
A Gideon Bible. That's what I find.
:34:38
Yes. Yes, go on.
:34:42
I reached my hand into a dresser drawer,
and I found a Gideon Bible.
:34:47
Louder!
:34:48
I found a Gideon Bible.
:34:51
I was so lonely and miserable,
I might as well have been in hell.
:34:54
I was in hell. I knew
all the salesman's tricks.
:34:58
Why wasn't I rich?
Why wasn't I successful?
: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.
