Once again, welcome.
Welcome to the show.
This is "Faith & Inspiration."
We are the Texas Tenors.
We're so glad to be here with y'all.
Absolutely.
What a wonderful audience tonight.
This is so much fun.
I personally have been waiting all my life to do this style of music.
Growing up as a small child, as well as John and Marcus, we all grew up in church.
We love this style of music.
It was the first music that was presented to us, so we get to do some of our favorite hymns that you'll recognize, along with some of our favorite inspirational songs.
But the next two songs actually, you know, we're very patriotic as well.
We'd like to dedicate to some very important people out there.
Our teachers, our first responders, and our veterans, our great American heroes.

[ Applause ] His daughter, Jennifer Hanson has written other songs for us, most notably a song called "Rise" which we loved so much we named our last public television special after that.
Well, when we got the demo of this song, we liked it so much, it really spoke to us.
And we hope it speaks to you.
This is called "That's A God Thing."

So imagine the thrill of many years later meeting Mr. Williams and subsequently the Texas Tenors performing at his theater in Branson, Missouri.
That was something.
Well, Andy's legacy continues to inspire us even to this day.

Marcus Collins, my best friend for 25 years.
I'll tell you what, at this time, I'm really proud to welcome my son Jackson Fisher up to the stage.
Jackson, come on up here!
Give him a round of applause, this young guy.
I'm so proud to welcome my son Jackson to the stage here to perform with me tonight.
He's a great athlete but has become such a fine musician.
And this is our first opportunity to do this, so this is the perfect song, because this song is about the unconditional, limitless, and reckless love of God.
It's reckless, but it's perfect, 'cause us humans will never understand the lengths God will go to to reach us.
A shepherd always knows if just one sheep is missing from his flock or if he needs help.
There might be a hundred out there.
If one's missing, he'll leave the 99 to go find that sheep.
There's nothing a father won't do for his son.

How about Jackson Fisher?
Come on, folks.
That was pretty good, huh?
[ Cheers and applause ] Well, I am super excited, because there are three generations of Fisher boys out here in the audience tonight.
My dad is right here on the front row.
Carl Fisher, stand up and wave at everyone.
Carl Fisher, right here he is.
Put that cowboy hat on.
My dad's a real cowboy.
My dad's actually, December 12th, he'll be 94 years old.
And he still gets around great, and he loves life.
But what's really cool about my dad, he's just an incredible father.
He drove a school bus for 66 years.
He's in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest career as a bus driver.
Pretty good.
But a couple of years ago, he surprised us, me and my sisters.
He started singing these old-time gospel songs and hymn sings and spiritual songs.
Some of these songs I've never heard.
They're really from another generation, but they're gorgeous, a lot of beautiful lyrics.
And I thought maybe, just maybe, y'all want to hear my dad sing a little bit of one of his gospel songs.
You got something to sing real quick?
Carl: Yeah.
Good to be here.
I love to see a good crowd like this.
I know a few people here.
I know these sweethearts here.
And then I know a feller over here by the name of Randy Little.
He used to get all my money till he sold out.
