but you got to forgive him.

No matter what he done,

you got to forgive him--

not for him, but for you.

Forgive him for me?

When somebody hurts you...

they take power over you.

You don't forgive them,

they keeps the power.

Forgive him, baby.

And after you forgive him,

forgive yourself.

Forgive me.

-For what?

-This.

Oh, lord have mercy. You know,

you just don't have no couth.

That's what's wrong with you.

John, $35,000 is not enough...

for me to take to my client.

I'm on the phone, sweetheart.

No. No way. You talk

to your client and--

Stop! Stop the car!

Stop! That's Mom!

I'll call you back, John.

I'll call you back.

Can I go talk to her, Dad?

Please?

Dad! Can I go talk to her?

Go on.

Hey, Mama.

Tiffany. Hey, girl.

Mom...Dad let me sing

in the church choir.

That's good, baby.

And I wish you would come.

You know I ain't got

nothing to wear.

Well, the service

starts at 10:
00...

if you want to come.

Tiffany.

-Bye, Mama.

-Bye.

I can feel on my right side.

Are you going somewhere?

Actually, I was waiting on you.

What do you want?

I don't have anyone.

Everybody who I thought

was my friend...

has turned their back on me,

and it hurts.

But not nearly as much

as what I've done to you.

You are a good woman, Helen...

and a good person.

So...don't be like me.

You always used to tell me...

"God has the power...

"to show you who's God."

I get it.

Even though

I almost destroyed it...

I know you still have a heart.

For everything...

everything...

that I have ever

done wrong to you...

I'm sorry.

I...

am so...

sorry.

See, what I love about God...

is that when he asks

a question...

he already knows the answer.

He asked Ezekiel,

"Can these bones live?"

He asked the lame man,

"Will thy be made whole?"

Somebody's been made whole

up in here today.

Come on and give him

some praise.

He asked Abraham...

"ls there anything

too hard for God?"

God is asking you

that question right now.

Is there anything

too hard for God?

Is there anything

too hard for him?

What will you

believe God for today?

God can deliver you

out of any addiction...

situation, or anything

that you dislike.

Come on, somebody.

What will you believe God for?

Come on, choir.

The doors of the church

are open.

Come on.

Come on and bless his name.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Father, can you hear me?

We need your love today

I know that you are listening

You hear them every day

Father, please hear us

And we will be OK

Father, we need you

To live and lead us today

Father, can you hear me?

I'm calling on your name

Yes.

Not Buddha nor Muhammad

But it's Jesus, we cry out loud

Father, just forgive us

Hear us when we say

We'll give you, give you,

give you everything

Our lives and souls today

God, you know we need it

I've never seen so much pain

We have the faith for now

Your victory we will gain

Father, you know we need it

Hallelujah.

There's no more heart of stone

We're ready for your power

Now the sin is gone

Oh, father, can you hear me now?

Father

Can you hear me now?

Father

Can you hear me now?

Father

We will sing, sing a song

Sing a song

Just say you will, Jesus

Just say you will

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Say yeah

Come on, raise your hands

Many people are in need of love

See them coming to you, Lord

Just as I am, I'm in need

of the blood of the lamb

Oh, my soul, I say yeah

I know I can't do this

by myself

Yeah

Do you believe?

Somebody, please

Somebody ought to

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lift up your hands,

The lord God, strong and mighty

Do you know Jesus?

Throw up your hands

and say yeah

Oh, yeah

Somebody say yeah

Say yes

Yes

Father God, we thank you...

for this delicious meal

that we are about to partake in.

We ask that

you would bless us...

in the decisions that

we've made for you today.

Keep us strong as a unit,

Father.

We give you glory and honor

in the name of--

Amen, amen, amen.

-Amen.

-Amen. Amen.

Y'all ain't had greens

like this before, baby.

I put my foot in it.

Give me some cornbread.

Go ahead and eat something,

Myrtle Jean.

You know I'm hungry.

Charles?

You know I love you, right?

Yeah.

And you know

I'll always be your friend.

Do you forgive me?

I already have.

Not just for what I did to you.

I'm in love.

Where are you going?

I'm going to find my man.

Go get him, girl,

wherever he's at.

Yeah, aunt Helen.

Bye, y'all.

Lord have mercy.

I knowed it. I knowed it.

Come on, Ike Turner.

Go on out there and get her.

Orlando! Orlando!

Ma'am! Whoa, ma'am!

You can't go in there!

That's not safe! Whoa!

Orlando!

Orlando!

You have to stop.

Orlando! Orlando!

Ma'am, you've got to stop.

Orlando, where are you?

Sorry. You've got--

This is too dangerous.

It's not safe.

I've got to ask you to leave.

Boss, she's all right.

She's with me.

What are you doing here, Helen?

I gave it all up.

What?

I just want you.

I just want you.

Ask me again.

Ask me again. I love you.

Now, how do you

know that, Helen?

I carry you in my spirit.

I pray for you...

more than I pray for myself.

And if you're away

for more than an hour...

I can't stop thinking about you.

And your smile.

When you smile,

my world is all right.

Ask me again. I love you.

Ask me again.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Oh, Helen.

This woman right here

wants to marry me, y'all!

She wants to marry me!

Mary lost her faith

'Cause her brother had died

Jesus came forth

Saying, "Lazarus, be untied"

No matter how bad

you think it is

If you leave it at his feet

He'll give you pity, yeah

No matter what

You may be going through

Take it to the master

He'll see you right on through

I know Jesus

Take it to him

You can leave it there

He will work it out

No matter what

You might be going through

He will work it out

Pass it on, yeah

Don't let nobody

Turn you around

Give it to Jesus

He'll never let you down

Take it to Jesus

Take it to Jesus

Take, take, take it to Jesus

Take, take, take, take, take

Take, take, take it to Jesus

He will be right there

All your problems

Every situation

He will work it out, yeah

I'll tell you. There ain't

nothing on TV no more.

Redd Foxx died, and all

the good TV went to hell.

Yes.

"Sweating in the Spirit."

Hold it here.

Yes, Lord. Thank you

for Donna Richardson, Lord.

Thank you for

Donna Richardson, Lord.

swooping up and over.

Reach over. Here we go.

Now, keep your feet planted.

Separate them wider.

And separate. Pick it up.

Do it. Down. Down.

Ooh, she did it!

Aw, hell, Donna.

You don't do that to me, baby.

Oxygen. Oxygen.

This time,

when we come back up...

lift the arms above the head.

Lift it up, two, three.

Now, I really want you
