I first heard my pastors wife sing this song when I was seven years old at black Oak Baptist Church in Clinton Tennessee. I am now 50. it stuck with me then, and it’s meaning every thing to me now. I’m so grateful for salvation, and what he did for all of us he is alive forevermore
A friend told me to come to her car after a Bible study to hear a cassette. It was in the 1970s and I was a new Christian. It was Don singing this song. Loved him ever since! I got to see him a couple of times in person too.
I am so blessed and grateful for the new insight that is giving to me through this song. Praise God for this alive Savior who forgave me all my sins. I live because He lives! Hallelujah!
Oh Hell, where is your victory? Oh Death, where is your sting? Our God is not dead; he’s alive, HE’S ALIVE!!! Christ is risen from the dead, trampling over death by death
Whatever you do, no matter what your circumstances are, Worship the Lord and he will conquer and you will see the Lords hand moving and remember to have fasting and self denial along with the worshipping and prayer.
Been listening to Don since the '80's while I was a student in college. Introduced him to or her students. I am not a perfect Christian, but He knows I do my best. Thank you, Dear Lord!
This will always be considered one of the most powerful songs to do with Jesus Christ I've ever heard! A true testimony of WHO HE said HE was! The SON OF THE LING GOD! HE's alive! The same yesterday, today and forever!
This is my first song to ever fall in love with. I was a child. I wouldn't become a follower until almost 36 years. This song stuck with me through it all
hart Matthew 28:1 the women went at dawn to the tomb. Mark 16:9 early on the first day of the week he appeared to mary magdalene. Luke 24:1-2 the women found the stone rolled away. John 20:1-2 it was early the first day of the week when mary magdalene thought he was the gardener. While the term Easter is not in the bible the early in the morning is.
My most Favorite Easter song of all time! Your video really takes me back to my childhood. 🙏 Thank you for creating this rendition! Hallelujah, PTL, YSHA Lives!!
@@alahhart3368 No, Easter in the KJB should not read Passover, Easter is correct. It is too long to explain here, so I guess you'll have to study it as I did and you will see why Easter IS correct and the false and changed "versions" replaced it wrongly with Passover. *absolutely NOT any, "Well known mistranslation", (not any such word, but I digress) not when you take the time to actually study it, though few do. Not reading all that long post, but you need to study to find the truth here. Only took me a few days. Also know that Jesus was crucified on Thursday, not Friday. "Good Friday" is a Roman Catholic invention. It's obvious that to be in the tomb three days AND three nights it'd have to be Thursday, but there is also a story of the Passover lambs who were slain the SAME day that Christ was crucified as He IS the spotless Lamb of God..A little studying hurts no one.. MOST of all be SURE that you know the *correct* Gospel, not one with ANY works of any man involved. It's VERY important.. Study, as it says in 2 Timothy 2:15. You'll be *amazed* at what you can learn that is TRUTH to replace the lies you have been taught by men. The Holy Spirit leads to all truth in the precious, Holy word of God..and DON'T use the corrupt "versions" - intentionally corrupt. The King James Bible is the TRUE Holy Bible, and always has been. That's why they try SO hard to replace it with so many untruths.. AND it doesn't matter that, "Resurrection Sunday" is NOT in the Bible. Jesus wasn't born in December either, but we replace their pagan holiday celebrating His birth..we replace another celebrating His being Risen, and there is NOTHING wrong with that! Again, study, and learn the TRUTH about exactly WHY Easter is in the King James Bible and nowhere else..It's pretty amazing - once you learn the entire true story of Christ's crucifixion also. DON'T be deceived by the harlot Roman Catholic church.....
Don Francisco, and this song in particular, was a favorite of both my husband and me. Now he gets to see Him face to face. One day I will too, and I rejoice.
yes indeed he is risen and I praise the Lord Christ Jesus every morning I wake up for what he did for humanity on the cross, I am 10 years in Christ and the greatest joy is to percent the gospel to anybody anywhere, thank you for that beautiful song God bless you,
Thank you Don Francisco!! ...this song should have a billion likes! ...It's as fresh as when I first heard it so many many years ago! Happy Easter everyone! Praise God for His Son's resurrection! ❤
@@connarbott You're looking for something that's missing from your life that's at this time controlled by the sorry, worthless, creature that is lucifer. If you weren't you wouldn't be here commenting on this video. It's not as though you didn't know it was about Jesus Christ. You came here because you knew you would find the one that your master lucifer can't match in anyway. The one who makes lucifer look like the useless failure he is. It's ok. I understand. You're tired of being on a losing team. You are checking out the true winner Jesus Christ. Old lucifer just can't give the one thing that makes Jesus Christ the only sane choice. Life eternal.
This song means so much to me. I use to sing it all the time as a child but through out the years (I am 50 years old) I had forgotten a word here and there, and really didnt even think about it anymore. Anyways, today (December 30, 2018) I was reading my bible and was sad because of the terrible way they treated Jesus when they crucified him. All of the sudden this song came to to me and I just found it. Thank you for posting this because now I can pick up singing all words again like I did when I was a little girl. Praise God for his love for me. This world is changing for the worse at a fast pace. God bless you.
+James Lambert Amen to that. For those who don't believe Jesus is the one true God and Savior, what other religion teaches to deny oneself and pick up your (my) cross? Kinda goes against human nature (i.e. sin nature). I guess what I'm trying to say is that if Christianity is a "false religion/written by men", why would sinful men "invent" a religion/God whose rules are impossible to follow, and have a God sacrifice Himself so we could be with Him? That does not sound like "human" reasoning.
My mum took me to hear Don play a gig at a school in Richmond, UK when i was 11 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday and i am now 48. I remember him doing this song and was utterly transported. The words, 'it changed my life' have become somewhat cheapened but that is exactly what happened to me. I knew i had to sing and play and somehow find a way to serve and follow this amazing Jesus that I was starting to believe in. Thanks, Don.
Saved four years before "He's Alive" came out (1980). Love it, love it, and still love it!!!! His grace is forever all. Jesus is more alive than ever in this 'ole man's heart. I'm a living testimony. Praise be to God forever and ever! Amen.
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. Live at WCU college performed by Don Francisco. This song captures more than words can express. However I must say that this particular recording is my favorite. The live nature with the subtle echo. The acoustic guitar and piano capture the raw emotion and depth. May the Lord Jesus be forever praised!
One of the most beautiful and inspiring songs I've ever heard and out of all that have heard it I am surprised so few hit the like button. I LOVE IT!!!!
I'm 70 now and still cry with each hearing. Jesus did so much for me I can't thank him enough. I wish my every heartbeat was in service and worship. Sadly I'm too much like Peter. Yet he love me. Figure that.
This song is so incredible. The first time I heard it was on Easter Sunday about 25 years ago. Now, at Christmas time, I am remembered that we celebrate the birth of our Savior only so that He could die and be resurrected.
Don Fransisco along with Keith Green were my "saints" when I first became a Christian in the late 70s. I was lucky to listen to their songs like it was Gospel. I wondered in confusion for years after that, but today I am so grateful to God for both of them, they sowed the Gospel in my heart thought their music and lyrics
Amen hallelujah praise GOD!!! He is alive he changed and saved me!!! I can thank Him enough!! He does all for me!!! Turn to him he will do the same for you!!!
My daddy sang this song every year at church at Easter. This song and my daddy’s voice was and still so beautiful it never failed to make me weep. Still makes me cry hearing this and remembering him doing this. He’s still living and I think I’m going to ask him to sing this again for me and I’m going to join in with him. I need to. He’s not going to be here always and I know that a huge chunk of my heart will die when he goes. It’s breaking my heart already just to think of him not being here.
Video gives me chills. My body was in a new world. Words can't explain. I know Jesus is knocking on my door. Amen !!! 🙏. Blessed that friend shared this with me Sunday ( Easter ) I'll be coming home.....
I heard this the day I got baptized and that night someone said you need to get baptized with the holy Ghost what is that I never heard of it but to my amazement I was baptized in the holy Ghost started speaking in the language I did not know and what made me a believer I never heard it before from anybody else so I'm affirmed solid believer of Jesus Christ and one of the people of the church saying this song with no music and it was so beautiful and made an impact on me throughout my life so this song is so anointed and yes one of the best songs ever written about Jesus it gives you an insight of what Peter went through and makes me cry cuz I felt his pain of what he was going through so this is the amazing song God bless all who listens to it and God bless the Creator this song it was from heaven
Love how this song unfolds in story form… makes it so relatable… how Peter talks about how he felt after the crucifixion… his disappointment in himself for his betrayal & how he & the disciples were not joyful, expecting a resurrection but were fearful & hiding… & then finds out Jesus is Alive! Love all of his songs because they are stories we all can relate to!
Wow, what great memories. I remember I was probably 8 years old as a little kid in Colorado and Don Francisco came and sang this song live for us at our little methodist church! I was just in awe of such a powerful song glorifying God!
Thank You Lord for TH-cam. I used to have to wait until Easter season every year to hear this song on the radio, now I only need to pull it up on my list anytime that I need it.
Thanks be to God that there are human beings who use their talent for the glory and expansion of Gods kingdom. May this song bring many to Christ. Praise God for this song. Truly inspired and stirring.
I use to sing this in churches and youth camp when I was so much younger, I went my own direction not much different than the prodical son, thank GOD for HIS mercy to lead me back, I still haven't felt worthy to sing for HIM, I know HIS forgiveness is unending, I shouldn't struggle like I do with myself, I would that I could use any gift I have left only for JESUS, I would appreciate prayers from his people to give strength for all HIS children to do HIS will, we need HIS power so much in this time of darkness. GOD bless
Amen! Anytime I feel down and like I have done something against the will of the Lord, I spend time with Him and sometimes play this song to feel the forgiveness that Peter felt! Praise God, He’s Alive and I’m forgiven !!
I did a dramatic presentation of this at The Salvation Army summer camp and have used it several times since then at my church. It is such a powerful song and it has a profound effect on the people that are involved in the production. I can't wait to use it this year at Easter... the kids are never going to be the same after we are done. Praise God for His goodness and grace.
This is another wonderful song. He is such a great song writer that tells a great story in his lyrics. What a wonderful Easter song. I saw him perform this song watching Bill and Gloria Gaither. Now I have included it in my Easter CD. Praise the Lord and glory to God in the highest! He can play that guitar just as well as he sings. There´s nothing like the original song writer performing his own song. God bless you Don!
DON FRANSISCO, you have a God given talent & voice of gold. You use it outstandingly & you are the best witness I have experienced in my life. Happy to have seen you live in South Africa. GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS.
HalleluYUH and Ahmein HE'S ALIVE and I'm forgiven heaven's gates are open wide! Praising Abba Father YHWH/God for bringing this song back into my life as my momma got me listening to him and had long forgotten all about Don Franscisco. WOW very powerful song for a time as this that we are living in right now. Shalom.
This song never fails to bring a flood of emotions within me..... All that Jesus suffered just for us..... because He loves us and wants us to spend eternity with Him. "Behold, what manner of LOVE the Father has bestowed upon us, that we could be called the children of GOD!" Amazing Grace... Amazing LOVE!!!!!!!
I love you Lord. JESUS, JESUS ,JESUS. Your name is like sweet perfume and you released your love into my heart. Blessed above every name in heaven or in earth. My Saviour and my God!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
Probably one of the first songs I heard about Jesus after conversion and still one of my favourites. Used to have the album on cassette so shall have to get it again for the cd player and give it some 100 watts of volume. Magical in every way. ❤️
Let me tell you, I was saved March 1979 Went to a Christian bk store to buy my 1st Bible KJV and bought the album Don Francisco He’s Alive and it has so many wonderful songs Well, I had never heard of him at the time of purchase being a brand newly born again Christian It was the Lord that led me to get it
I love this song. When I was seven years old, i'd sit in my room with my radio and play Don Fracisco's "Forgiven" album over and over again all day long. :)
I always have a hard time each Resurrection Sunday with the reminder of this man suffering so much. He rose again I know, and Ascended to Heaven, but it is still hard to stomach a Human Being Son of God being treated so horribly and for me at that. Thank You Jesus!!
I love you Jesus so very much it breaks my heart to you of suffered so much, :( and that you died was terrible but im eternally grateful to you because now i can go to heaven because you died for us,i loveyou very much Jesus so very much,my best precious treasure of my heart,im so in love with you,nearly crying ,the disciples must of really missed you when you went back to heaven,i know i would of done :(
I HOPE SOMEONE REPLYS TO THIS BECAUSE I BEEN FEELING REALLY UPSET TODAY,I HATE TO THINK OF JESUS SUFFERING AND I BEEN CRYING ALL THE TIME VERY HEAVY TEARS TODAY,PLEASE REPLY SOMEONE ,I NEED A HUG FROM JESUS THANKYOU
Jesusprincess There's no need for sadness. Christ died for you but rose again 3 days after. He proved God is more powerful than death and hell. He came in the flesh to show us the way, the truth and the life. We don't have to hurt or suffer anymore. We can cry out to Jesus and He will be there for us instantly! He will return for us soon decending from the clouds on His great white horse and we will not know sorrow or pain any more. But until then I and all who read this will pray for your healing and strength in Christ :)
Jesusprincess Aloha Princess, no need to cry, be glad, be glad that He did it for you! If He hadn't we would all face eternal damnation. Instead praise God almighty for the greatest gifts that anyone could ever, ever receive! Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, grace, mercy, and salvation! I get emotional too, it is hard to believe He would go through all of the for little old me. Iesu no ka Haku! Jesus is the Lord!
my mOM died, after suffering a lot, her Brown/green eyes changed color into shining blue, last day I saw her and she was talking to my father, whom has died many years before her....
Peter reminds me of my brother because my brother didn't believe in Jesus or he would say he didn't care about the name. but now he, my sister and I go to church every Sunday and then on Wednesdays for youth Bible study. I'm glad I came to Jesus for he has cleaned me of my sins. Amen
When I was a boy I would rifle through my Grandmother's shoebox of tapes to find this song. I'd pop it into the tape recorder and just listen and rewind over and over.
Greatest gift Jesus Christ hallelujah hallelujah praise the Lord and his holy name Hes alive touching to my heart and spirit beautiful song Amen and Amen thank you so much💙💚💛💝💜💗👍😍😍😘😇🙌🙏✝️✝️✝️💯💯💯💯📖🎶🎶🎶
None of us is worthy of his Love and forgiveness! But only through him! We are worthy! If we live for him and worship him! Talk to him he's always there!! Just a prayer away!!
When I first heard Don, I was not a fan...since my choice genre was "real" music..that genre was metal and loads of screaming....hahaha, I was abviously lost. Although I did not give this a chance...it stayed with me...and now being 30 years of age...I am a Don guy, but better than this...I am a child of the Most High Elohim. Blessings in Jesus Name.
DONT IT MAKE YOUR SKIP A BEAT WHEN IT BUILDS UP TO THOSE WORDS HE IS ALIVE IT BREAKS MY HEART AS I CLOSE MY EYES I CAN SEE IT OOO WOW HES ALIVE LOVE JESUS SO MUCH AND THANK FUL
You know good souls when you find them. A person who just loves the Carpenters must also have a deep seated spiritual conviction. Thank-you (yet again) Mr. Nickerson.
I met Don Francisco 50 years ago back in 1972 in Louisville, KY when he was playing in a small upstairs room at my friend's club called "Friend in Hand". Since it was just the two of us upstairs we got to speak quite a bit. I am so happy for Don's success and wish him the best, always!
I listen to this song I listen to every Easter for 40+ years.
THANK YOU JESUS
Beautiful
I also listen to this every Easter. It always moves me to tears.
Heard this first in 1978 when I was 12. 46 yrs later and now 58 yrs old, it still brings tears of joy and thankfulness. Happy Resurrection Day 2024!
I first heard my pastors wife sing this song when I was seven years old at black Oak Baptist Church in Clinton Tennessee. I am now 50. it stuck with me then, and it’s meaning every thing to me now. I’m so grateful for salvation, and what he did for all of us he is alive forevermore
I'm 53. I've listened to this song every easter, forty years
A friend told me to come to her car after a Bible study to hear a cassette. It was in the 1970s and I was a new Christian. It was Don singing this song. Loved him ever since! I got to see him a couple of times in person too.
Amen brothers and sisters! I love his songs written in the first person view- Peter, Thomas, Jairus. So personal and lifting to the throne of Grace!
I get GOOSEBUMPS every time I hear this song!! Oh hallelujah Jesus IS ALIVE!!!!
Amen! Me too! I feel like running or jumping with joy. This song is POWERFUL!
I just found this site from a Telegram account. I love all of his song's. I've been crying all evening as I listen to each one.
Me too!!!!
I get goosebumps and shed tears with joy! Praise the Lord He has risen! 💜🙏💜
I am so blessed and grateful for the new insight that is giving to me through this song. Praise God for this alive Savior who forgave me all my sins. I live because He lives! Hallelujah!
He's alive 2024, Hallelujah 🙏✝️
HE IS RISEN!!! Hallelujah!!! Death could not hold Him down. This song is tears of JOY for my Risen Jesus!!! Glory & all praise to Father God
Amen!
Happy Easter!
Oh Hell, where is your victory? Oh Death, where is your sting? Our God is not dead; he’s alive, HE’S ALIVE!!! Christ is risen from the dead, trampling over death by death
Whatever you do, no matter what your circumstances are, Worship the Lord and he will conquer and you will see the Lords hand moving and remember to have fasting and self denial along with the worshipping and prayer.
@@ninasju It's so easy to believe that He rose from the dead!
This song holds the record for the longest-running chart single in the history of Christian radio.
Thank you sister Camille for that info. Hope all is well with you in 2019. May God bless you and yours wherever you are.
Been listening to Don since the '80's while I was a student in college. Introduced him to or her students. I am not a perfect Christian, but He knows I do my best. Thank you, Dear Lord!
Camille I didn't know this until you mentioned it!
I make sure I share it every Resurrection Day.
My daddy used to sing this every Easter when I was a little girl. Oh what a beautiful memory. I hope I can convince him to do it again for me.
This will always be considered one of the most powerful songs to do with Jesus Christ I've ever heard! A true testimony of WHO HE said HE was! The SON OF THE LING GOD! HE's alive! The same yesterday, today and forever!
Listen to the version by David Phelps. Magnificent!
❤
AMEN 🙏
This is my first song to ever fall in love with. I was a child. I wouldn't become a follower until almost 36 years. This song stuck with me through it all
Absolutely 💯 Amen 🙏
Death and the grave couldn't hold Him !!! HES ALIVE !!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Amen!!!
Almighty LORD GOD IS OUR MAJESTY FOREVER.
AMEN!!! PRAISE THE LORD!
My dad used to sing and play this song on his accustic guitar when I was a kid in 1980. Happy Easter. Jesus is ALIVE!

I did when my kids were young as well. 🙂

It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell. Col. 1:19

Best Ressurection song ever! Puts me right there
Makes me cry every time, Thank you for posting!!! Thank you JESUS!

One of the greatest Christian songs of all time. It is timeless and will never go out of style.
I LOVE this song!
Christ is risen! He is alive! Hallelujah!!
God bless Don for writing this song. I heard it in 1985, and have sang it too. Great revelation.
My favorite movie about Jesus, My favorite Song about his resurrection. What a wonderful combination. Thank you.
This songs moves the heart and soul even of the non -believers. I love it. Rebuilds you.
Don Francisco is a gifted "story teller". He paints vivid pictures of Scripture with his music.
Video gives me chills. My body was in a new world. Words can't explain. I know Jesus is knocking on my door. Amen !!! 🙏. Blessed that friend shared this with me Sunday ( Easter ) I'll be coming home.....
I heard this the day I got baptized and that night someone said you need to get baptized with the holy Ghost what is that I never heard of it but to my amazement I was baptized in the holy Ghost started speaking in the language I did not know and what made me a believer I never heard it before from anybody else so I'm affirmed solid believer of Jesus Christ and one of the people of the church saying this song with no music and it was so beautiful and made an impact on me throughout my life so this song is so anointed and yes one of the best songs ever written about Jesus it gives you an insight of what Peter went through and makes me cry cuz I felt his pain of what he was going through so this is the amazing song God bless all who listens to it and God bless the Creator this song it was from heaven
Love how this song unfolds in story form… makes it so relatable… how Peter talks about how he felt after the crucifixion… his disappointment in himself for his betrayal & how he & the disciples were not joyful, expecting a resurrection but were fearful & hiding… & then finds out Jesus is Alive! Love all of his songs because they are stories we all can relate to!
I shivered while listening to this song--- knowing almost all the words yet never have I heard this before---------Hallelujah -------
Beautiful music with the most powerful a message, He most certainly is alive!!! Praise GOD!!!!!!!
Thought it was Dolly song. But I've always had a place for this song. Powerful. thank you. Glory to Jesus
Wow, what great memories. I remember I was probably 8 years old as a little kid in Colorado and Don Francisco came and sang this song live for us at our little methodist church! I was just in awe of such a powerful song glorifying God!
Very True! What a Blessed song! Very humbling & fulfilling! Praise & Glory be unto our Great God!
Resurrection Sunday 2024. He's alive!!😊🎉
This song brings back such a wonderful feeling of childhood! Timeless, beautiful and oh so true, it is an absolute treasure!!
Oh, the joy and peace that forgiveness and salvation bring to hearts. Hallelujah to Him who died for us. He is alive!
Thank You Lord for TH-cam. I used to have to wait until Easter season every year to hear this song on the radio, now I only need to pull it up on my list anytime that I need it.
Thanks be to God that there are human beings who use their talent for the glory and expansion of Gods kingdom. May this song bring many to Christ. Praise God for this song. Truly inspired and stirring.
I use to sing this in churches and youth camp when I was so much younger, I went my own direction not much different than the prodical son, thank GOD for HIS mercy to lead me back, I still haven't felt worthy to sing for HIM, I know HIS forgiveness is unending, I shouldn't struggle like I do with myself, I would that I could use any gift I have left only for JESUS, I would appreciate prayers from his people to give strength for all HIS children to do HIS will, we need HIS power so much in this time of darkness. GOD bless
Amen! Anytime I feel down and like I have done something against the will of the Lord, I spend time with Him and sometimes play this song to feel the forgiveness that Peter felt! Praise God, He’s Alive and I’m forgiven !!
I did a dramatic presentation of this at The Salvation Army summer camp and have used it several times since then at my church. It is such a powerful song and it has a profound effect on the people that are involved in the production. I can't wait to use it this year at Easter... the kids are never going to be the same after we are done. Praise God for His goodness and grace.
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
This is another wonderful song. He is such a great song writer that tells a great story in his lyrics. What a wonderful Easter song. I saw him perform this song watching Bill and Gloria Gaither. Now I have included it in my Easter CD. Praise the Lord and glory to God in the highest! He can play that guitar just as well as he sings. There´s nothing like the original song writer performing his own song. God bless you Don!
This will always be one of my favorite songs! And In Christ Alone!! Such truth moves me to tears of joy every time I hear it
Sheila Sugar Loved your comment, Sheila!
Always thought this was a perfect song for Don. I get goosebumps every time I hear his version.
DON FRANSISCO, you have a God given talent & voice of gold. You use it outstandingly & you are the best witness I have experienced in my life. Happy to have seen you live in South Africa. GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS.
HalleluYUH and Ahmein HE'S ALIVE and I'm forgiven heaven's gates are open wide! Praising Abba Father YHWH/God for bringing this song back into my life as my momma got me listening to him and had long forgotten all about Don Franscisco. WOW very powerful song for a time as this that we are living in right now. Shalom.
He is risen! He believes in us all, even a sinner like me. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
This song renews me every time I hear it. 🎉❤❤❤❤
I had the pleasure of hearing this young man twice in concert. He was a sincere and nice person. I love his version best of all.
This song never fails to bring a flood of emotions within me..... All that Jesus suffered just for us..... because He loves us and wants us to spend eternity with Him. "Behold, what manner of LOVE the Father has bestowed upon us, that we could be called the children of GOD!" Amazing Grace... Amazing LOVE!!!!!!!
One of the greatest songs forgotten about Jesus. Don's a huge talent musically :)
One of the best songs. Don Francisco is an amazing singer and musician. He Is Alive! Have a wonderful Easter Celebration! 2023
I love you Lord. JESUS, JESUS ,JESUS. Your name is like sweet perfume and you released your love into my heart. Blessed above every name in heaven or in earth. My Saviour and my God!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
Probably one of the first songs I heard about Jesus after conversion and still one of my favourites. Used to have the album on cassette so shall have to get it again for the cd player and give it some 100 watts of volume. Magical in every way. ❤️
Amazing way to tell the story and Don does it better than anyone!
Let me tell you, I was saved March 1979 Went to a Christian bk store to buy my 1st Bible KJV and bought the album Don Francisco He’s Alive and it has so many wonderful songs Well, I had never heard of him at the time of purchase being a brand newly born again Christian It was the Lord that led me to get it
I listen to this song all the time. It's gives me such comfort
I love this song. When I was seven years old, i'd sit in my room with my radio and play Don Fracisco's "Forgiven" album over and over again all day long. :)
I always have a hard time each Resurrection Sunday with the reminder of this man suffering so much. He rose again I know, and Ascended to Heaven, but it is still hard to stomach a Human Being Son of God being treated so horribly and for me at that. Thank You Jesus!!
Amen View! Blessings to you.
View This What a tender hearted, lovely comment!
& everytime we sin, we pierce Him 😔
When I was 13 I got to see him in concert i.am over 50 now still one of.my favorite songs
I love you Jesus so very much it breaks my heart to you of suffered so much, :( and that you died was terrible but im eternally grateful to you because now i can go to heaven because you died for us,i loveyou very much Jesus so very much,my best precious treasure of my heart,im so in love with you,nearly crying ,the disciples must of really missed you when you went back to heaven,i know i would of done :(
I HOPE SOMEONE REPLYS TO THIS BECAUSE I BEEN FEELING REALLY UPSET TODAY,I HATE TO THINK OF JESUS SUFFERING AND I BEEN CRYING ALL THE TIME VERY HEAVY TEARS TODAY,PLEASE REPLY SOMEONE ,I NEED A HUG FROM JESUS THANKYOU
Jesusprincess There's no need for sadness. Christ died for you but rose again 3 days after. He proved God is more powerful than death and hell. He came in the flesh to show us the way, the truth and the life. We don't have to hurt or suffer anymore. We can cry out to Jesus and He will be there for us instantly! He will return for us soon decending from the clouds on His great white horse and we will not know sorrow or pain any more. But until then I and all who read this will pray for your healing and strength in Christ :)
Jesusprincess Aloha Princess, no need to cry, be glad, be glad that He did it for you! If He hadn't we would all face eternal damnation. Instead praise God almighty for the greatest gifts that anyone could ever, ever receive! Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, grace, mercy, and salvation! I get emotional too, it is hard to believe He would go through all of the for little old me. Iesu no ka Haku! Jesus is the Lord!
PRAISE IM HAPPY TODAY BECAUSE HES ALIVE HAPPY IN HEAVEN
my mOM died, after suffering a lot, her Brown/green eyes changed color into shining blue, last day I saw her and she was talking to my father, whom has died many years before her....
Peter reminds me of my brother because my brother didn't believe in Jesus or he would say he didn't care about the name. but now he, my sister and I go to church every Sunday and then on Wednesdays for youth Bible study. I'm glad I came to Jesus for he has cleaned me of my sins. Amen
When I was a boy I would rifle through my Grandmother's shoebox of tapes to find this song. I'd pop it into the tape recorder and just listen and rewind over and over.
I got to see him in concert in 1970s it's been my favorite since, and it's 2022
Greatest gift Jesus Christ hallelujah hallelujah praise the Lord and his holy name Hes alive touching to my heart and spirit beautiful song Amen and Amen thank you so much💙💚💛💝💜💗👍😍😍😘😇🙌🙏✝️✝️✝️💯💯💯💯📖🎶🎶🎶
None of us is worthy of his Love and forgiveness! But only through him! We are worthy! If we live for him and worship him! Talk to him he's always there!! Just a prayer away!!
When I first heard Don, I was not a fan...since my choice genre was "real" music..that genre was metal and loads of screaming....hahaha, I was abviously lost. Although I did not give this a chance...it stayed with me...and now being 30 years of age...I am a Don guy, but better than this...I am a child of the Most High Elohim. Blessings in Jesus Name.
I can only imagine how Jesus felt. And look at our World 🌎🌍 today. 2024. I. Still have his albums .. My Son's grew up listening to Don De Francisco..😢
DONT IT MAKE YOUR SKIP A BEAT WHEN IT BUILDS UP TO THOSE WORDS HE IS ALIVE IT BREAKS MY HEART AS I CLOSE MY EYES I CAN SEE IT OOO WOW HES ALIVE LOVE JESUS SO MUCH AND THANK FUL
Goosebumps and chills for me.
Thanks for this video and song of love ,humility and grace.we used it to close our Sunday school concert. God bless you for this
I love this song so much!! I think about the time when I can see Him face to face for the 1st time 💖
A "MUST HEAR!" EVERY YEAR!
You know good souls when you find them. A person who just loves the Carpenters must also have a deep seated spiritual conviction. Thank-you (yet again) Mr. Nickerson.
wow, my stepmother loves the Carpenters n Jesus. it makes sense lol
What's spiritual about the Carpenters?
I met Don Francisco 50 years ago back in 1972 in Louisville, KY when he was playing in a small upstairs room at my friend's club called "Friend in Hand". Since it was just the two of us upstairs we got to speak quite a bit. I am so happy for Don's success and wish him the best, always!
Happy Blessed Easter. HE IS ALIVE
Lots of blessings over the last few weeks on the UP channel on Dish. All Easter movies. Songs and worship too. Blessings on you all , en Christus.
