This winter, the UK has seen the wettest weather on record | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
for more than a century. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
Tens of thousands of homes were flooded in the severe storms | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
in Northern Ireland, Wales, the north of England | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
and right up to Aberdeenshire in Scotland. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
On today's Songs Of Praise, I'm in Kendal, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
one of the first communities to suffer from this extreme weather, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
to discover how the long road to recovery is being | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
eased by community spirit and acts of kindness. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
We'll be meeting individuals who were caught up in the rising waters. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
Just absolutely mental. I'm absolutely shattered. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
And we'll see how churches have been a focal point as different parts | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
of the community rallied together, forming lasting bonds. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
As a result of all this now, I've made more friends in the last | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
four or five weeks than I have in the last 20 years. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
And David Grant is in Twickenham to find out why one young man | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
chose to sing a much-loved worship song, 10,000 Reasons, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
whilst undergoing brain surgery. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
And of course, we've also got a selection of inspiring music | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
from across the country, starting right here in Cumbria. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
From The Keswick Convention in the majestic North Lakes, here's one of | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
my favourite hymns, led by the ever-popular Stuart Townend and band. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:35 | |
The storms that wreaked havoc in December | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
and into January devastated large parts of Britain. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Schools were closed, hospital services cancelled | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
and many counties declared major incidents. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
You know, all our hearts go out to them. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
To be flooded is a terrible experience anyway | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
and it's even more terrible when it happens at Christmas or New Year. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
It's just...horrific. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
At this time of year especially. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Can you just make sure it's unlocked | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
and we'll come in and we'll have a chat? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
The Army and other services were called to the rescue | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
as thousands were evacuated from their homes, | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
and flood warnings remain even today. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Cumbria was one of the first counties to be affected. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
Storm Desmond broke all previous UK records last month | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
when, here in Cumbria, no less than 330ml of rain, | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
that's more than a foot of it, fell in just one 24-hour period. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
It completely ruined Christmas for thousands of people | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
and it's going to take communities many months to rebuild themselves. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-MAN: -30 to 40 houses that have been flooded, at least. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
You can see where the level of the water has reached on this house. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
The Sandylands Estate here in Kendal is an area not used to flooding. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
Storm Desmond took the 3,000 residents completely by surprise. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
Just absolutely mental. I'm absolutely shattered. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
But we got the community coming together and that's brilliant. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
Community worker, the Reverend Jonny Gios, filmed events on his mobile | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
as they unfolded and helped a grandmother and two young children | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
escape from their home. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Hold on to Chris. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
Sandylands Methodist Church, where Jonny works, | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
became an emergency relief centre, | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
working together with other local churches. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
That is for those people who really desperately need | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
to get assistance immediately. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-REPORTER: -'Their church was flooded, | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
'but its members opened the doors anyway today. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
'Their mission, to help the parts of Kendal in most desperate need. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
'They went on to the streets of the Sandylands Estate and into houses | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
'which lie devastated. This is not a wealthy community.' | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
We are calling on people who are in government, local government, | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
to come down here and actually see Sandylands itself and the state | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
of what's happened around here and the people who are vulnerable, | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
the people who are destitute and really have lost everything | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
and have got no insurance, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
to come down and help them and see what they can do. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
The church itself didn't escape the rising floodwaters | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
and today it's operating from what they call the Encouragement Cabin. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Now a building site, everything here has been contaminated by flood water | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
and sewage and is heading for the skip. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
But the priority for Jonny and the team is supporting the community. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
And how are you able to help people? Is there any help available? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
That's what at the moment we're looking at, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
trying to get those people who have offered their services | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
for plastering, for building work, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
to actually come up from the various areas of the UK to help | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
and assist with that work and that's going to take a bit of coordination. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
And how significant do you think it was for the community | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
that all this happened shortly before Christmas | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
and Christmas was not the same as it should have been for anybody? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
No, I mean, it was a lot of people who lost Christmas presents | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
and various things were supposed to be on here at the church - | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Christingle services, carol services - they didn't happen. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
I've really kind of struggled with this over this Christmas, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
but remembering the Christmas message that God sent his son Jesus | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
into the mess and muck 2,000 years ago and then we're deployed | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
as his ambassadors, his people, to go into the mess and muck | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
to help people and to be shining lights for him. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
Repair work after the floods is underway across Britain, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
including at Sandylands Estate here in Cumbria. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
It'll be many months before newlyweds Sarah and Dave Benjamin | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
can move back into their new home after it was flooded | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
by three feet of water. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-Wow! Awful lot still to do here. -Incredible. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
It's bringing all the memories back to me. What can I say? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-It's just horrible. -You can see how high the water was. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-This is a sort of tide mark here, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-So up to your waist? -Up to our waists in... -Did you wade in? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
We did, yeah, in contaminated water. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
It was cold, it was dark, it was quite scary, really. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
The fridge-freezer was at the bottom, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
that was floating around banging into things. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
So I was just picking up some of the sentimental things quickly | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
and getting them upstairs as best and as fast as I could, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
but my memories of one thing in particular, | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
the Christmas tree floating around with the lights on still | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
in all the darkness, it was incredible to see. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
And the irony is that you've been Good Samaritans, haven't you? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
We went to help at the church, we were waist-high in water then | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
cos it flooded down there at our local church first. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
I went and got a lady out of her property, she was too scared | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
to leave, but we managed to persuade her and get her to safety. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
And when we came back, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
our property was probably one of the worst affected. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
And I felt even more violated when all our personal possessions | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
were put out in the front for the local council to come and fetch. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
We've had to start again from scratch, it's been... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
But we're here, we've got our faith and we're pulling together | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
and I know that, you know, God's here and he is watching over us | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
and we're going to be all right. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
And the town's going to rebuild from this stronger, bigger and better. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
And what about Christmas itself? What was that like? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
Christmas this year was about being together. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
It wasn't about lavish gifts, it was just about spending time together | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
with loved ones and people who we've met along the way | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
and that's what we've done and we've had a better Christmas by not | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
spending lots of money and lavishing people, just being together, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
going to church, carol singing... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
It's been fantastic. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
As a result of all this now, people have come together as one | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
and I've made more friends in the last four or five weeks | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
than I have in the last 20 years. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-So the flooding has provided a common bond? -Absolutely. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
So much so that, when I see these people now, they give you big hugs, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
yeah, and the warmth and the strength that helps you | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
carry on to get through this is just remarkable. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
We'll be hearing more from Kendal later in the programme | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
and I'll be helping to deliver some Meals on Wheels, | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
but first here is our next hymn | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
and it's one that really resonates with many of the people around here. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
Well, here in the Lake District, there is still no shortage of rain. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
Coming up, we've got a truly inspiring story about a young man | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
who sang as he underwent ground-breaking brain surgery. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
But first, we're off to the Hackney Empire in London. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
Can you imagine how anxious you'd be | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
if you needed a life-saving brain operation and one of the possible | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
side effects was losing the ability to speak and sing? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
That's the situation that physics student | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
and keen singer Reuben Hill faced last year. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
And remarkably, to check his brain wasn't being damaged | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
during his surgery, doctors woke him and asked him to sing something. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
# The sun comes up, it's a new day's dawn... # | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
# The sun comes up... # | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
He sang 10,000 Reasons, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
a favourite worship song written by my good friend Matt Redman. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
Reuben is well on the road to recovery now. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
And I've come to St Margaret's Church in Twickenham to | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
gate-crash his music rehearsal. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
I had at least three conditions, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
one of which was a brain tumour... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
..and I was told, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
"Yeah, you're going to have to have surgery, we'll take it out." | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
That was ground-breaking surgery they'd planned. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
Can you explain it a bit? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
It was awake surgery, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
so during the surgery I had to be constantly singing and speaking. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
'And I knew that if I was going to sing, it should be a prayer, | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
'it should be a prayer because' | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
if ever I needed a prayer, it was in that moment. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
And I wanted to just appeal to God, so I sang 10,000 Reasons. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:06 | |
# The sun comes up, it's a new day's dawn... # | 0:20:06 | 0:20:12 | |
'Reuben's tumour is near the part of the brain that controls speech.' | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
BBC cameras followed Reuben's story. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
And his song choice gained worldwide exposure. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
The effect of that has been... It's been kind of extraordinary. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
It meant that what would otherwise have been just a news report | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
about some science, really important science, | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
turned into something so much more. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
It was like an act of witness that I just couldn't have predicted | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
at all and I'm deeply humbled by. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
If I ever had any doubt about the kind of worldwide reach | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
of Christian love, now I can dispel that for ever. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
I got loads of Twitter followers all of a sudden | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
and I had to send out a tweet saying, | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
"Thank you for all these prayers, please don't just pray for me, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
"pray for all the people that don't have anyone to pray for them | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
"or who are by themselves." | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
It wasn't just Twitter followers who were touched | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
by Reuben's act of witness. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:07 | |
Matt Redman is on tour at the moment, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
but he wanted me to hand-deliver a special invitation. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
Have a look at this. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
Hey, Reuben, Matt Redman here. Hope you're doing well. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
It was so amazing to see how you used this song recently, | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
when you came through from your operation. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Amazing how these songs can show up in surprising places. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
This might be one of the most surprising so far! | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
I'd love to meet you sometime | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
and was hoping maybe you could come to one of the tour nights. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
We could get to say hi. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
You sound like an amazing person and you've been through quite a journey. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
So it would be great to meet you. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
God bless and hope to meet you soon. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
Yeah, yeah... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Oh, wow, that's amazing. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
And just before Christmas, Reuben travelled to Oxford to meet Matt. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
I've had a bit taken out of me but actually, for me as a person, | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
I've really grown and become filled. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
I have a sense of being aware that I have so many options | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
in terms of what I can do in my life and I want to do | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
whatever God thinks is best, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
because if I'm doing his will, then I'll be a very happy man. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |

In the aftermath of the severe winter floods, | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
communities have rallied, as we heard earlier, and in Kendal, | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
local churches and businesses have been working together | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
to offer practical help. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
Jane and David Robinson live outside the Sandylands Estate | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
and they, too, have been volunteering their services for free. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
-So another delivery coming up. -Hi. -Hello. What's on the van today? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:37 | |
We've got chilli and rice today, but also we've got soup | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
and we thought we'd perhaps take some cleaning materials | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
around for people, cos it's just convenient that we can drop them off | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
-for them, really. -Yeah, great. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
And what got you into this? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:49 | |
Because you're not from the Sandylands area, are you? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
No, but we're fortunate, aren't we? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
We've been lucky, we haven't been affected by flooding | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
and we felt we wanted to just try and help people who had. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
We came down to Sandylands, to the Methodist church, | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
cos we realised there was a lot of action here, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:04 | |
-a lot of people haven't got cooking facilities. -No? | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
You know, they've been totally washed out, their whole lives have | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
been sort of rushed out the door in the floods, it's been devastating. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
As you've been handing over the meals, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
you must have heard some fascinating stories. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
I would say tragic stories, to be honest. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
People are just so pleased, apart from getting the food, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
which is just brilliant, | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
they enjoy actually having somebody there to talk to and they realise | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
that this community cares, actually, and that's a big factor. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
-People are just devastated and overwhelmed by it all. -Yeah. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
You go to people and they say, "Oh, there are people worse off than me." | 0:26:37 | 0:26:42 | |
-Yeah. -And when you think, "Don't think there are." -Yeah. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
So who's the next customer, then? | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
Well, we're going across the road to Mr Duxbury. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
Is this the gentleman who's marooned on the top floor of his house? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
He is, yeah, he is having to live upstairs, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
so we'll take him some food and I thought you might like | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
to take him a bottle of bleach which could be very useful. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
-Oh, yeah, of course. -And, well, you can take him an assortment | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-and see what he would like. -Take the bucket and see what he wants, yeah. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
-Who's that? -Mr Craven. -Yes. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
-He's brought you your dinner today. -Here's your lunch. -Oh, thank you. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
-Do you like chilli? -Yes. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
-Oh, well, you're in for a treat, then. -Right, thank you. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
What difference has it made to you, Mr Duxbury, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
-getting these meals every day? -Oh, tremendous. A great help. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:29 | |
So where were you when the flood happened? | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
I was upstairs at the moment, at the time, when I looked out | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
of the bedroom window | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
and saw the water was level with the garden wall. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
-And you were trapped? -I was trapped, yes. I couldn't get out. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
-In due course, the water went down. -And now you're upstairs... | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
-I'm upstairs. -..almost permanently? -Yes, yes. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
-Thank you. -Would it be useful to have some bleach? | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
-Yes, it would, I'm running short. -Well, that's an interesting mixture. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
You know you can always get it down at Sandylands Church, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
they always have stuff to help you. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
-Enjoy your lunch, then. -Thank you very much. -Nice to see you. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
-All the very best. -Thank you. -See you again. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
-Take care. -Thank you. -Bye, Mr Duxbury. Bye. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
And that's just about it today from Kendal, | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
a town recovering from its devastating flood | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
and I'd like to thank everybody here who's made me feel | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
so welcome in these very trying times. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
Now, next week, David Grant will be meeting people in a rehab centre | 0:31:09 | 0:31:14 | |
who are turning to God | 0:31:14 | 0:31:15 | |
as they try to free themselves from their addictions. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:19 | |
Until then, here's our final hymn today, | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
and it's been chosen by some of the people that I've been meeting. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
Bye for now. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:27 |
