I’m foregoing my schedule for this post because I haven’t cried that hard listening to music in a long while. It’s a powerful song of a man with a huge heart for his Jesus. If you’re struggling, and your coming up against persecution, you’re not alone. Take comfort that there is victory in Jesus. Keeping singing, because Jesus is alive. ❤
Music that Speaks
Dmetri’s Song (Jesus is alive)
My name is Dmitri, I was born a Russian man
And I was a factory worker, until 1960 and
Started teaching the Bible, to my two little boys
And that’s where the journey began
Well our house became a church
And the Sunday School grew
Had a 150 before we knew it
But the KGB didn’t want God around
17 years they locked me up, a 1000 miles away
This is my heart song, and I will stand and sing
For I am a son of the living King
So when the fire comes I’ll be rejoicing
Even when I suffer I’ll be singing
OOOhh Jesus is alive
OOOhh Jesus is alive
Despite 1500 Prisoners, criminal to the core
Who’d laugh and curse and bang their cups
And try to drownd me out
Like clockwork every morning with the rising of the sun
I’d stand and raise my hands and sing my heart song up to God
This is my heart song, and I will stand and sing
For I am a son of the living King
So when the fire comes I’ll be rejoicing
Yeah, even when I suffer I’ll be singing
OOOhh Jesus is alive
OOOhh Jesus is alive
Believers Stand for what you believe
Faint not in adversity
If you are cursed for Jesus name
Don’t give up, no don’t give up
Well they tried to break me, but I wouldn’t give in
And as they came to drag me out for my execution
I heard a choir of angels, yeah murderers and thieves
Those 1,500 criminals had risen up for me
They raised their hands and sang the song my father taught me
The sweetest sound I ever heard, yeah I heard freedom ring.
