Don Francisco - I Dont Care Where You've Been

I think this is a wonderful song and I couldn't find it anywhere on youtube so thought I'd put it up. Sorry there is no video to watch but it took me long enough to put the one picture in :P

[@ashleenkevin]

One Christmas, my Mama gave me a record sung by Don Francisco. I kept it for about two years and never listened to it. One day as I was cleaning the living room, I heard a voice say, 'If your Mama ever asks you how you like the record, what will you tell her'. I listened to the record. The song that ministered to this prodigal daughter the most and caused me to go back home to my Father God's house was this song, 'I Don't Care Where You've Been Sleeping'. I about wore the record out that day.

[@jimbogizmo777]

I am currently in darkness and this song is breaking me up....PLEASE pray for me

[@kristinabray]

Praying for you James. x

[@Toncor12]

The Lord never leaves you James no matter what you do. He is just standing there waiting for you to return to Him.

[@lilmissiodi3546]

[@suzettehamman5465]

hope everything went well for you my friend

[@CodyWeinmannComposer]

Me too, James. I pray for you too!

[@ronvandersluis8118]

This song (well, the whole album) helped change me forever back in 1978. How nice to find these songs again.

[@blakegiunta2745]

This song makes me get closer to God

[@norvecagencies7691]

I first heard and listened to Don Francisco from a British friend who is since died in the year 2016 in Kenya. Don"s songs are really inspiring and have very strong messages just as Jesus said them. May God continue to keep him and his Ministry, here in Kenya, we are blessed by his songs.

My mom always told me-You make your bed..You lay in it. I was at a horrible low point in my life with no where to go. I didn't think I could turn to my mom, because she'd say--You made your bed now lay in it. But one day I heard this song...and I just cried and cried. God knows where we made our beds...but He loves us, forgives us and sets us free! Thank you Lord!!

[@rockerboii18]

This song saved me when I thought about sucied my phone was on shuffle and it came in not for this song I would not be here today no matter how far I go from him he is right there holding me and saving me thank you lord

I remember sitting in my room with my radio when I was seven, listening to Don Francisco's "Forgiven" album over and over again, every day! :D

[@boomac62]

No nead to fear. God's love is unconditional. He will ALWAYS love you.

I started listening to him when I was 12 and I am from Zambia, Africa!

[@sunnysnowday]

So my sister and i were raised on his music. My dad loves his music. I'm 15 and am still a huge fan. This is my favorite song of his!

[@ronthelibrarian]

listened to Don Fran is the 80s as a new Christian - haven't heard him in years - thanks for the post

[@JORGEGONZALEZ-tu7ey]

I AM A FAN OF DON FRANCISCO SINCE 1981....!!!BEAUTIFUL SACRED SONGS....INSPIRATIONAL!!!......PRAISE TO THE LORD JESUCHRIST!!!!!

[@dktrueblood]

I've listened and loved all of Don Francisco's songs since 1980. I agree, He truly is one of the very best Christian musicians.

[@ThePattyo7]

thank you for posting this song. I'm a Christian man but I really needed to hear this song right now !.God bless.

[@RavynMancer]

Thanks. Totally just flashed back to childhood, my mom and me driving through the mountains in a tiny black Subaru, tall Ponderosa Pines above us, the air so fresh, Sun like liquid joy on our faces. My dad had just died, we were all we had.

[@katmikell]

I haven't heard Don Francisco in years and I just love the way he expesses the love Jesus has for us. Thanks!

[@janejuliet]

I am sad to see that someone can take such a beautiful concept of love and declare it an insult. Anyone who has ever chosen to open themselves up to that spiritual realm, to feel the need to have the weight of guilt or shame lifted from them by a power greater than themself, knows what is meant when he speaks of darkness, and how incredible it is to know we are loved even when we feel unlovable.

[@ounooi01]

that one picture and the words means more than any video. thank you for reminding me that JESUS forgives even people who think they are beyond forgiveness

[@usstexs]

MET DON FRANSISCO YEARS AGO AT CATHEDERAL IN THE PINES IN MY 20'S ALMOST FORGOTTEN HIM HEARD A QUARTET SINGING ONE OF HIS SONGS!

[@drbcook]

The first time I heard this Delora and Roger was singing it at a coffee house years ago remember it forever !

[@ORCLEAM]

With all the broohaha about lifestyles and the condemnation being cast on people for who they are, this song says it all. Who are we to judge? That's not our job. Welcome all unto Christ, He will sort it out and do a better job than we.

[@Divergent.Spirit]

I love this song ^^ I have the album somewhere... this is one of my favorites of his...great meanings....The Steeple Song is a really good too

[@n8dagr828ng]

My mother brought me and my brother up with a daily dose from school with Don Fransisco (lived in a non-religious home) so that was our input from age 7-13 of the scripture. As a too-soon-to-be-30 yr old I can still say that Don's music outside of religious meaning are still beautiful. One of the most successful artists in projecting their love of what they were writing; saw him live in Olathe, CO in 2003 and that was as walking home from a 1st grade test day well done:)

[@Kimtab08]

I love how this explains Gods love! I have been struggling with the question...Is Gods love unconditional? I think I have a better understanding of God's love is unconditional only if we turn to him...we are the ones that must accept it! He places conditions on the sin in our life, this is why he disciplines us to make us surrounded even more in his Love :)

[@TheNancySikes]

He is the best singer ever! :)

[@julz3tt3]

Thankyou for sharing this. I need this song so much right now. Don' is blessed in his abilities to write and create music that speaks directly to the heart. xxx

[@marynaduplooy4946]

James, indeed there is nothing we can do to make Him love us more, nothing we can do to make Him love us less. I put you before the throne of mercy. he will touch you, don't be afraid, He will.

This song is truly great. It touches my heart in a way I never new it could be touched. Thank you so much for posting. I haven't been the best at being a Christian. Please pray for me.

[@velocepeyet]

We can pray for you but the final throw of the dice is in your corner sweetheart. The Lord will never leave you all alone and in my experience He always gives us what we need. Maybe you asked a question and didn't get the answer you were looking for. Remember He always has your best interests at heart. Don't listen to what the world says. Jesus loves you so much

[@cryptic5142]

It doesn't matter how badly we screw up, Jesus already gave His life to overpay for it all. There is therefore now no condemnation (Rom 8:1). He wants to wash away all of your fears, doubts, sorrows, regrets, all of it. He has already paid the price and forgiven your every mistake, past, present, and future! God is saying to you right now and forevermore the simple truth: "I love you"You are loved far more than you can even comprehend

[@servantofgod4512]

I will Pray for you Karissa. Just trust the Lord, and believe in his saving Power. The rest is in his hands!

[@Judyp77]

James...have you accepted Jesus as your Savior? If you haven't maybe God has allowed your life to be scrambled so He can get your full attention....and have the Holy Spirit touch your very soul to lead you to Jesus. Start reading and studying the Bible. Start in John in the New Testament. I will pray you find answers that will bless you.

[@HarlanLovestone]

The time we exist in now in which no nation will ever rule the whole planet is in fact the end time according to the bible. I am a sinner, but I see no fault in Jesus or the bible. I believe Jesus is eventually and soon to return and when he does I hope my house is in order. If you really want to know the love of jesus if you truly seek him he will reveal himself if you pray & study the word. You wont see him with eyes, but you'll know he's real, the same way you know when your in love . Peace!

[@onlyroseofsharon]

@Kimtab08 God's love is unconditional. It is called "agape." God loves you, no matter what you do and whether or not you turn to Him. When we understand His love, then we will want to turn to Him, no matter what. "Perfect love casts out all fear." We don't ever have to be afraid of God, because He loves us just the way we are. But He wants us to have a relationship with Him, so that we can learn to live blessed lives with the help of His grace!

[@recshooter]

@slaveofAllah73 The Son did NOT share the guilt of the Father nor did the Father share the guilt of the Son. Neither were guilty....therein lies the Beauty of Christ

[@Discern4]

"I already gave My life to set you free" If the punishment for our sins is eternity in hell, the same should be for Jesus if He truly took the punishment for us. Instead, He's up in heaven as if nothing happened. And how is it truly a sacrifice if Jesus is God and can just come back to life again? It's hard to be grateful for a sacrifice that isn't really a sacrifice from a God that can't die.

[@Judyp77]

Dis......if you will please read the Bible, you will understand more about God and Jesus. He's in heaven acting nothing happened? Not true. Start with the book of John in the New Testament...it explained a lot.

[@dtweidt]

and our punishment was not eternal seperation it was our sins that caused seperation and Jesus took all the punishment for our sins upon himself so all our sins past , present and future our forgiven by believing in and trusting in him, Amen

[@1980PintoMan]

@Discern4 The debt is fully paid because Jesus didn't owe it. He defeated death because he had no sin. The debt is paid in full.

[@mustbsavdbyjesus]

God's love is not logical, but his judgment is. A "righteous person" is unable to atone for my and your sins, but a "righteous God," (not allah) is able to do just that. Using our thinking as a reference to determine what makes sense is the wrong place to start. Our understanding is limited. God's understanding is unlimited and completely unlike anything we as humans can comprehend. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Salvation from sin is found in no one else but Him. Blessings!

[@RPrice2227]

@ashleenkevin Praise God

[@prodigal65]

@Discern4 Death, hell, and the grave could not hold Him, as He was innocent - but took upon Himself the penalty that was due us! (Much like someone going to the judge in traffic court and paying your fine for speeding - Although he did not speed - was not chrged - but paid your fine anyway! All He asks in return is for you to believe... give your heart and life to Him and in return you are promised eternal life with God (who is then your heavenly Father - forever - and that's a long time!!!!

[@berumte]

Dearest Nixionsmen -- I'll bet it's kinda scary in your world, isn't it -- small and dark? He came to set us free. We're forgiven, when we turn to Him. He's alive...and He came to give us His kind of life. Go ahead and choose that Christ-life that He's offered. Ask Him to show you what I'm saying and He will. Blessings on you.

[@Xena0W0Princess]

I find his lyrics in this song to be a little rude, considering I am a proud atheist, but I grew up on him and adore his voice, so I will put up with his insulting me over and over to hear him sing. :)

[@onlyroseofsharon]

If any of you that loved this video would like to see more about God's unconditional love, go to Connie Witter or Because of Jesus on youtube or facebook. I believe you will be very pleasantly surprised to find out how much God loves you and how very valuable you are to Him! :)

[@HarlanLovestone]

We all are sinners whether you choose to believe it or not. You have two different belief systems and you cant have both. On the one hand you say God is evil and a liar, on teh other hand you say there is no God. It can't be both. Either there is no God, or there is a God! But I am not going to argue with you about this, I'm just telling you what I know and what I believe. So lets suppose you are right and I am wrong. Well if there is no God that doesnt say a lot for humanity

[@sunnysnowday]

Yeah wow he's awesome. I just turned 16 a few days ago! lol random. sorry

[@Xena0W0Princess]

Yes, I understand it's about 'Christian' love, but if you were an Atheist, and someone wrote a song all about how you've 'chosen darkness' and 'wasted all these years.' etc, etc., when I come back to my senses, he'll take me back it I turn to him and cry!!?? Even my 2 Christian roommates admit that's a bit cruel to me and my non-religious friends.

[@HarlanLovestone]

If God is a Liar, then life is one big cruel practical joke that we cant win. Either way we are ruined. At the rate we are going we will destroy ourselves soon. Now if there is a loving God, we have hope for redemption and salvation if we take teh consequences for our actions heer on earth. We have a chance to live for eternity in a perfect world after we die if we accept Christ. Id rather believe in that wouldn't you?

[@LeBexstar]

For Naomi.

[@Xena0W0Princess]

Well, all I'm saying is that it's YOUR belief that we all need salvation and his forgiveness. I would just like to kindly agree to disagree. We don't see things the same way, that's all.

[@HarlanLovestone]

The wages of sin is death. Something must die when sin is committed. Thats just how it works. So christ died so we might live eternally if we accept him. He took our place if we accept him. The closet example in earthly terms is if your biological father jumped in front of a bullet to save your life, even though that bullet was meant for you! I used to quiestion the bible but it has too many prophacies that have come true. Im not just talking genreal stuff , I mean real specific stuff!!!

[@fillysunray]

@Krisusmc I suggest you look over my comment. I don't know if you noticed, but my comment was both aimed and addressed to the same person. So... I don't know what that was about.

[@LunarWolfMizuki]

Discern4 The Bible says that the penalty for sin is death. And Jesus died as a man to pay the price for our sins. He payed the penalty of death. Because of his death we can be covered by the blood of the lamb so that we can be saved even though we are sinners. I believe Jesus as a man was covered by His own blood as well because He Himself never sinned. That's why He could be raised from the dead. His own death saved Him.

[@HarlanLovestone]

Be careful, because Jesus also said those who refuse to see the truth he will allow to believe a lie. he will harden your heeart so that you continue to believe in lies if you choose that path. Jesus also said in teh last days good would be viewd as evil and evil as good. Is every christian saved and righteous? NO!! But som are and if they follow christs teaching to love others as they love themselves, to help others, to not lie or cheat I see no fault in them. Do you?

[@LS57]

Would a better title of this be, "I Don't Care Where You've Been, and That's Why You'll Never Hear From Me"?

[@prodigal65]

@Discern4 This is not the place to teach foundational Christian doctrines but let me help you with something. Jesus was not only God's Son (2nd member of the triune Godhead)... but He was also man - the Bible calls it a "mystery" as it is a little too much for finite man to get a hold of... He was fully, God... yet fully, man! He came as a man for one thing... to die in our place (under God's Covenant) AS A MAN. (He did not die spiritually as God cannot die - as some erroneosly teach). (see nxt)
