"The Fourth Man" By Tim Lovelace,Jake Hess,George Younce....

[theesteady1]

Hysterical & clean!

[Ladyailiken]

The first time I saw this video years ago, I laughed so hard I was crying.

Jake Hess was so much fun, his laughing made this song so much more fun.

I met Jake after a Christmas Gaither Homecoming once and he was just exactly as I imagined the person he would be. My daughter was 14 months old (1997) then and loved Jake. He was so thrilled she could sing little parts of his songs. He was so sweet and was happy to get his picture taken with us. I will always love and miss Mr. Jake Hess!!

[Daze6Of6My6Youth]

I think he was pissing Bill off just a little bit

[Loverboy721]

First time I saw this was on TBN several years ago. Bill Gaither had a half hour promotional program to promote his Homecoming videos. This part with Tim Lovelace was part of the one video. I don't see how Tim can keep straight face through this. I love it though. Thanks so much for posting it.

[MrsAngelaGrogan1]

And here I thought that Mark Lowry was the king of comedy.... Tim is certainly giving him a run for his money. I was laughing so hard I was crying.

[ljames8500]

There will never be another George Younce !

[bwelch88]

You gotta love the fact that Bill stands up and walks over in the middle of the song, and the piano keeps on playing. Obviously a track or another piano. The piano accompaniment gets much fancier once they start the song again for the final (live) performance. Still one of my favorite Gaither moments!!

[kregerm]

Echoes of Barney Fife.

[Sing4More]

I think Tim Lovelace and Mark Lowry should sing a duet.

[1954phyllis]

@Sing4More That would be good.

[krusty8001]

@Sing4More oh lord, do you know what that would do!?!?! great idea, present that though to Bill :)

[OneKewpie]

Ha! I have to watch this video every once in a while...it brings such joy. What a funny man. Who said being a Christian is dull? Not Tim! And not me! OneKewpie

[gunshyfan]

Tim Lovelace is one of my favs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jlh2667]

I think Jake Hess about lost it haah

[numoneuncfan]

Thanks so much for a hearty laugh, this video is great :)

[AnOmbreRose]

Oh, how I love this!

[AnOmbreRose]

One of my all time favorites, haven't seen this in YEARS!

thank you with all my whole heart!

[ladytxlove]

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this video, or how badly my day is going, it just cracks me up! Who says being a Christian is "boring"!

[marklowry1]

@ladytxlove i agree just because we live for God it doesnt mean he says you cant have fun he is the 1 that lets us have the fun.

[seahmienlei]

Refrain: Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up To witness this awful fate He began to tremble at what he saw In astonished tones he spake Did we not cast three men bound Into the midst of the fire Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt Unbound and walkin' down there; There's Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego And the fiery coals they trod But the form of the Fourth Man that I see Is like the Son of God

[seahmienlei]

Refrain:

They wouldn't bend

They held on to the will of God so we are told

They wouldn't bow

They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold

They wouldn't burn

They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire

They wouldn't bend

They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn.

Help !!! Onde está a legenda em português???? Quero rir também!!!!

[betelcg]

Cadê a legenda em português? Quero rir também!!!

[ladytxlove]

I have seen a lot of great Christian comedy skits. But, this one has to be the funniest of any I have seen. It has me rolling on the floor with tears in my eyes every time I see it! Thanks for posting!

[forhisglory90]

These guys are wonderful! Can't wait to see Bill in concert in two days!

[forhisglory90]

I love this. Daniel 3.

[goodwink54]

I still have tears rolling down my face! How very very funny!

[jammies3]

I just love this.......it's SO funny!!

[GodsGalaxy]

It's wonderful to know that God has a sense of humor!

This is great!

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

[LoganJordon]

Lord, Bill Gaither is better at piano than i thought

[dosborn05]

I think they're singing with a track also. Bill is playing but if you notice when he stands up to talk to Tim, there is still a piano playing in the background. Bill is a good piano player though.

[AnOmbreRose]

@dosborn05

If you notice at the first of the clip, another piano player is at the lower end of the piano bench, if I remember from TV, he took over when Bill stood up.

[oldermusiclover]

You have to love watching Jake Hess laugh! It's so contagious.

[Victorious0Victoria]

innocently hilarious!

[paledin3]

one of my all time funny moments. i'm sure some of this was planned but the reaction of the hoppers, danny gaither, easters let me know there is alot of spontaniety as well. infact i enjoy the audience laughter more than anything. bill was known as a perfectionist and was kind of intimidating and i think the other singers enjoyed seeing this side of bill.

[blazeoffuegon]

I love the way Jake Hess looks at him right at the beginning!

[ForceElite]

Absolutely R-O-T-F-L hilarious! and it IS Gospel Rap!!!

[akdal83]

This moment simply defines Tim Lovelace. It'll be always his signature performance.

[heavenboundsaint]

Jesus (the fourth man) still saves from the flames!

[Skeuk]

Hysterical!!!

[bluegrassbaby86]

Southern Gospel rap, lol.

[astar1970]

LOL this is funny!

[cnrdcthy]

hey i know it is funny its one of my favorties.

[edgehogfarmer09]

Tim is one funny and amazing man.

[mysterycurleywolf]

Rex Nelon is about to bust out laughing at about 5:44

[PreacherSly]

Be hard to keep a straight face with Jake Hess next to you...or Bill Gaither as far as that matter goes

[HCFan39]

I could not sing a single straight

note with someone like Tim standin

next to me....... Hahahaha !!! ;-)

[HCFan39]

I loved my way thru the whole video again .....

It is more than just funny ......... Hahahaha !!!

[truthisstillthetruth]

It was all part of the comedy, Bill was not mad at all. Anthany Burger or someone else was also playing the piano.This was a great song and alot of fun. Tim and Jake are hilarious.

[DixieMedic]

My sister and I have a running joke about this one...Shaquille O'Neal did not know that he was in that furnace (get it, Shad, Shaq and Aban?).

[BassAce316]

Hey Guys, just wanted to share with you (so we can all fully enjoy this) this is all a planned thing. Bill does the same basic routine on a couple of older GVB videos with Mark Lowry. He isn't losing his cool with Tim, its all part of the act. And they do have session players that are the primary music you hear. Bill just sort of chords along when he plays. Just wanted to share. Please don't take any of this out of its context. Thanks and God bless you all!

[owlet70]

Bill Gaither loses his sense of humour at one point, too bad, cause that guy (T. Lovelace) is HILARIOUS!!! I love that part!!

[DixieMedic]

I agree...Tim IS hilarious, but I've seen this type of comedy before. Bill really didn't lose his cool. If you'll notice, he does the same thing often with Mark Lowry.

[dosborn05]

I think that they're singing to a track. When Bill stands up the piano keeps playing.

[codyleeatyahoo]

that was so funny i'm glad you posted it

[NCLN]

What is the name of this video please ?

[hoover4000]

its from joy in the camp

[Bobbytoo]

Do you think jake hess was really mad at this guy?

[hoover4000]

no jake knew it was all in good fun

[AnOmbreRose]

@Bobbytoo

Absolutely not. It prolly was rehearsed this way, in spite of what Bill Gaither said.

When you watch Bill's videos and Mark Lowry, you would have little doubt!

[ludenasan]

Willie Wynn was the tenor in the Oak Ridge Boys.

[Beulah59]

Funny!

[Rachalone]

I'd like to see Tim Lovelace and Mark Lowry sing together.

[1usmcwife2]

hoover4000: I'd just watched "Look For Me" by Tanya Goodman Sykes and cried all the way through it. Then, I laughed all the way through this one.

There's nothing like being in a room or Church with Holy Ghost filled Christians, at least until we get "over there."

Vestal used to sing, "You've Known Nothing..Until You've Known The Love Of God."

What a wonderful time we'll have over there.

[Pianomike78]

The guy in the powder blue jacket is Willie Wynn whose signature song was "I Know" by LaVerne Tripp. He sings that song on this same video.
