This was recorded at the end of a long day, and everyone was tired. After the track was cut, Lauren said that during the rehearsal, she felt like the choir director and the choir! Watch as she introduces the song, then teaches everyone their parts.
And yes, Debra’s cell phone did indeed go off right as the song was starting. Lauren said afterwards that she was about to burst out laughing, and then she realized that the studio musicians in the next room hadn’t heard it. With how perfectly the introduction was turning out, she didn’t want to lose the take, either, so she managed to start singing as though nothing had happened!

This is one of my favorite BTC songs, and I’m so glad to see you guys recording it.
Can’t wait for the CD!
Reply to ChristyThis is an awesome song!! I’ve done it with my choir. Can’t wait to hear the final cut of the “Talleys” version. Miss you guys. Tell Roger to give me a shout when your back in Texas.

Reply to Kay BarrettGreat Song, it’s one of those that you cannot get out of your head. This will be a great song for you guys. Debra, love the phone tone!!
Love you guys.
I’m glad you’re doing “Thou Oh Lord.” One of the most powerful songs I’ve heard in years – maybe ever. God bless you folks and your ministry. We’d love to attend one of your concerts someday, but it’s kind of hard with us being overseas. We thank the Lord for you.

Wow Lauren your quite the director. That song sounds really cool. I think I counted three key changes in that song, wow that’s a lot! For this song how many takes did you have to do to get what you wanted? It this a normal for each song or is there an average number of takes before you like the final version?
Reply to Mark BehrensMark – I was there that day, running the camera. They ran through a couple parts of the song in advance, making sure they had the arrangement right, but would you believe, once the recording equipment was rolling, I believe they nailed it in the first take!
They’ll work on vocals separately; this was the session where they were recording the track.
Reply to Daniel MountThis is hilarious to watch this. When Lauren and Debra are around the piano at the beginning, Debra does not look at all thrilled when Lauren keeps pointing to her and giving her cues for her part..or else she had a headache….haha!!!
Reply to CherylCheryl – I’m not so sure that it was a headache, as that it was quite the complex arrangement at the end of a long, long day in the studio, and everyone was incredibly tired.
Reply to Daniel MountGreat song, guys! Very professional, Lauren, in spite of everthing. LOL
Reply to Elaine HarcourtLoved this song the first time I ever heard it. You all do great on this song. Can’t wait to hear you perform it in person.
Reply to Roberta MorganBRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this song! The message is so very true!
I love the rehearsal part! It makes me miss the studio! Jason Webb is an amazing musician to work with. We have the opportunity to have two out of three times! He is a musical genius.
Reply to Odie BoggsWow. That is a beautiful song Lauren and Debra. I’ve never heard the song before, but it sounds like a great song of praising the Lord. I can’t wait to hear the final recording of it. Great job.
Reply to Jeffrey WeeksThis is my favorite song so far……..Love it. Cannot wait for the CD….:)
