Gotta Tell Somebody

[@Hevinlee]

I heard this song back in the 70's as I pulled into my driveway. I listened intently and stayed in my car until the song was over. THIS SONG LED ME TO SEEK THE LORD! Thanks to God and Don Francisco, I committed my life to Jesus that same day!!! Glory!!!

[@DavidThurston-us7hn]

Praise God for you alive from the dead

[@josephduray6331]

I've been a Christian for over forty years. I heard many messages from the pew for half that time, and preached many from the pulpit for the other half. Brother Don's songs are by far some of the best sermons I've ever heard.

[@dilligaf1009]

I grew up with Don Francisco and strayed until ab few years ago. I hear so many fake testimonies and i honestly can't stand it (mike warnke is a good example) but don Francisco is amazing.

[@DKSierraLeone]

August 1981--Our newborn was in intensive care. On day 8 they finally let us hold her because they did not think she would live. I taped a cross to her incubator before leaving. The next morning I went to the hosp (across the str from our apt) alone. My wife was afraid to hear the news. When I got there she had color and the nurse said she pushed her self 1/2 ft. She was healed (PTL!) and we took her home two days later. This song has been stuck on repeat in my head ever since.

[@tedneeley8443]

This is the Greatest Gospel singer since I became a christian, I was at a concert given by Don in 1973 and what a blessing we received. Thank you Jesus!!!!

Oh Lord, I pray that by Your Holy Hand You will release my wife of 41 years from the bondage of alcoholism. In the name of Your Son, my Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

[@raulramirezii2363]

OK if the previous song didn't touch your Christmas spirit - try this one. Just so you know I was in a hole in the war during 1990 when a friend of mine was killed, a grenade took his life and I had to collect what was left over. A mistake and a training error or training we didn't get - those where the words I heard. Never mind all that - it doesn't change. But this song alone helped me get through the tough and difficult times of my life. I through my life in a turmoil but Jesus always stayed by my side and this song has reminded me why I am here. Thank you

[@chrisrobinson3893]

That is an amazing story... I'm a Christian film maker and we are doing a doc-u-drama for the soldiers ... your story would be awesome to tell.

[@dfighternelams6387]

Chris Robinson my son served in Afghanistan during his 8 years as a Marine, having survived 3 IED explosions there's no doubt God was watching over him! I'm so proud he followed my advice and gave his heart to Christ! Having cancer myself,told I was only going to live 6-9 months 19 years ago I'm proud to serve Christ and that my kids,from my oldest who's 35 to my youngest son who's 9 have seen the power of God work in my life!!! Cancer is still there but SO AM I!!!!

[@Falk4J]

Raul Ramirez II Thank you so much for sharing, also your testimony. Yes, if you look around and noone is to be found of friends, family or neighbors, Jesus always is there! Right by your side! Gotta tell somebody!

[@lachlan7802]

Christmas isn’t Christian

[@DavidThurston-us7hn]

Love this so true its so the word of God. Power of God almighty tell everyone so they can rise from the dead too.tell some body

[@ltgconcessions]

Ever since I first heard it in the seventies, this song still chokes me up! Let God's Glory Shine! Praise his name!!! Are you a true believer? He is RISEN this Day!!

[@miksmith41]

His voice is so damn powerful and his geetar playing is impeccable. What an amazing and totally underated artist, even in Christian circles.

[@parispoet]

Never heard this song before...awesome. Wish there more Christian songs like this!! ❤❤❤

[@LindaClaiborne2936]

I heard this for the first time today. Chills and tears

[@vkilgore7]

Don and Wendy sang about the miracles I would again receive just to remind everyone that Christ Jesus is the alive and available for every healing!

[@KennyFisher-io4dm]

What a tremendous gift Don Francisco has, to write and compose music to tell a great story of our Lord, the giver of life, and sing and play skillfully such a blessed arrangement! Should have many millions of views and likes!

[@patmeier8820]

This is Christian Music, when the absence of less than words in the "new" sound I reach for the 70's, '80's and here is an example to follow. Don Franscisco is one of a kind gospel singer. He sings the Word. Thank you eaglegrace.

[@barrylowe5642]

Who doesn't love Don Francisco? This guy is a Saint! Jesus is going to have him play, along with King David, for Almighty , Merciful, ALL LOVING , ALMIGHTY GOD THE FATHER!!!

[@davidwilliam9020]

Praise God for wonderful son (Eric William from Kuwait)

[@synodmedicalcentre5390]

Great hymn. Thank you Don. Pray for special Blessings to you and your family and may the Lord use you for the extension of his Kingdom. Amen

[@stevemargolis5514]

Sometimes we never see seeds we plant. Well Don Francisco, back in the late 1978, I put Don's music on my tape player and worn out those tapes. in my work truck all day every day. God got to me thru your music and still does, thank you. Today 3 13 2022 I'm 66. Father God has been great to me then and forever.... Also, I wasted 55years on the guitar ,never mastered it, I had this old 76 key Yamaha in my closet and it fell on my foot . Ouch! Instead of throwing it, I set it up tried playing it and it seems to come so easy. So just learning a new instrument at 66. I believe It was all God. This story is one of my favorites you do..

[@mrsamiller]

God is so good and worthy of our praise. He will help you too. Just ask Him and patiently wait on Him. Jesus has never failed. Praise the LORD. He helped our little girl who was at death's door but, the Lord caused her to rise from that sick bed and restored her to full vitality. He and lifted my faith beyond the grasp of doubt. He lifted my weary head and now I love Him more because He came through and helped her when we couldn't. He extended great mercy to us and I cannot help but to publicly say, wow, God is really good. He really answers prayers. He really does have pity on His helpless children. May the name of Jesus forever be praised!

[@helenasroka7759]

I absolutely love don Francisco ! His words n music helped me since I first heard him in the 80's! God bless u don!!! Xo

[@TechTips437]

Chills. Literal chills

[@tophampaul]

Yeah! He did it for me too!! Raised me from the dead, spiritually, that is, and gave me new life, eternal.

[@peterfowler1987]

Loved this guy from the first time I heard him. God has used him to encourage & strengthen my faith in God. Thank you Don &Wendy !!! Betty in Ohio

[@patarikisoterion9899]

This song has been on my mind for a couple of days...had to listen to it! Haven't heard it since the 90's.

[@pertnear3372]

[@christian280189]

Awesome - in tears here. Praise God for this inspirational man. God is so good...

[@gtepp031387]

"Salvation is a free gift given by God to those who have true faith." If salvation is free, then faith can not buy ot as you claim. Salvation is free, it is grace given unto us, we have a choice to abide in that grace "Abide in me, and I in you."

[@DAVIDCANDEL]

The solemn events surrounding the last couple of days of Christ here on earth portrayed beautifully, with inspiration, depth, joy, grace, and by God's Unconditional Agape Love!

[@PattyBinkis]

DON FRANCISCO.... MaryAnne posted a redone song that Don did back in the 70's called He's Alive, a wonderful song. Glad his music is NOT forgotten and people are hearing them still. Here is another wonderful song that he sang in the 70's also. Infact, was on the same album (yes vinyl), I think mine is in the basement.

[@andreweveritt3829]

Wonderful song, a clarion call to tell somebody how brilliant God IS.

[@jpogues1]

GOD has given this guy a great talent. I love to hear the bible set to music.

[@giovannisandoval3974]

I love how Don Fransisco just makes you feel his music. I love this song "Gotta tell Somebody" I really feel it.

[@reginabullinger]

Thanks so much for the video- Back when christian music was so powerful that it gave you goose bumps! Still does.

[@albytaykn]

I drove my car music on hitch hiker s listened many miles I trusted Don and shared with many his songs were anointed today I revisited Don and his songs are anointed

[@DallasTexasJeff]

I love his songs about Bible stories. I got to go to a few of his concerts back in the 80's. Each one was great. :~)

[@mshadow2]

What a story-teller!

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! My wive, by the power of the Holy Spirit has been released from Satan's bondage to alcohol! Thank you for your prayers! Pax Christi Rev. Joel Osborne+

[@Toncor12]

Thank you Jesus for Don, your words through him really boosted my faith when I was a baby in Christ and even today he does the same thing by Your Word.

[@juanitawickey1022]

Have heard him in the past, had a record, which my son has, but so grateful to be able to get him on here. Thank you. Love his voice.

[@jefftube58]

Saw him in concert in Boston in 1982 when he was doing the "Live Concert."

[@TheLozzer56]

Saw don numerous times in the 80s. That song is just as powerful 2day as it was then

[@usailon4ever]

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG AND HE IS ALIVE AND MANY OTHERS THANK YOU DON AND WENDY FOR GREAT WORSHIP MUSIC

[@dusterman1000]

How could one person not like this?

[@lojudah888]

@RevFrJoel1 I just prayed for you and your wife...the Lord Almighty Greater than all things that bind us will deliver.

[@mamanon8]

Wonderful song! Don's voice has always touched me so profoundly.

[@awardblvr]

I think in time Don's songs will be viewed as Handel's Messaih now is... inspired directly by God. I think Don Francisco, Keith Green and Handel will all have a special place together in God's kingdom.

[@tammysteenerson8581]

He is so good.his songs are so powerful.

Cyprian 250 A.D."And we ask that this Bread be given us daily, so that we who are in Christ and daily receive THE EUCHARIST AS THE FOOD OF SALVATION, may not, by falling into some more grievous sin and then in abstaining from communicating, be withheld from the heavenly Bread, and be separated from Christ's Body"

[@valshepley4630]

Wonderful, as always Don. Thank God for your ministry.

[@bonnieclary5819]

Truly amazing talent.

[@gtepp031387]

"He has declared the cup, a part of creation, to be his own blood, from which he causes our blood to flow; and the bread, a part of creation, he has established as his own body, from which he gives increase unto our bodies. When, therefore, the mixed cup [wine and water] and the baked bread receives the Word of God and becomes the Eucharist" ~ Irenaeus

[@BobMarshall1952]

I sang this song as a solo a few years ago (from an accompaniment track). Probably the hardest solo I've ever sung, since there are a heckalot of words to memorize (I didn't have cheat sheet in front of me). Probably the second hardest solo I've sung is another Don Francisco song, "He's Alive". It has 11 four-line verses, plus a closing chorus. I was on stage by myself for most of that song, then I had our choir march in from the back to join me on the closing chorus. It was pretty dramatic.

[@gtepp031387]

"Now you are saying that we are saved by God's faith....in us?" We are saved by grace(which gives faith and turns the will, but not in such a way that free will is made void, but in such a way as to stregthen the will of man so that it might co-operate with grace). Thus we are saved by grace THROUGH(the co-operation of our will with) faith. Faith is the very first thing the grace of GOD gives us, faith is a fruit(Gal 5:22) and fruits grow with the proper care, and die without it(that is grace)

[@zabaleta66]

Wow.....had one of Don's albums with this and all the rest of his hits years ago. Great stuff.

[@gtepp031387]

JUSTIN Martyr A.D. 150: "For not as common bread nor common drink do we receive these; but since Jesus Christ our Savior was made incarnate by the word of God and had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so too, as we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by Him, AND BY THE CHANGE OF WHICH our blood and flesh is nourished, IS BOTH THE FLESH AND THE BLOOD OF THAT INCARNATED JESUS."(First Apology, 66)

loved this song when i was a kids and still love it

IGNATIUS A.D. 100: "Take care, then, to use one Eucharist, so that whatever you do, you do according to God: FOR THERE IS ONE FLESH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, and one cup IN THE UNION OF HIS BLOOD; one ALTAR, as there is one bishop with the presbyter" (Letter to the Philadelphians 4:1)

The "Grace" that God has shown to us is enough to push us to do the work. We overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. He is in us to will and to do... Thanks for sharing this presentation.

Ephraim 350 A.D.:"Our Lord Jesus took in His hands what in the beginning was only bread; and He blessed it, and signed it... He called the bread His living Body, and did Himself fill it with Himself and the Spirit..Do not now regard as bread that which I have given you; but take, eat this Bread [of life], and do not scatter the crumbs; for what I have called My Body, that it is indeed. Take, eat, entertaining no doubt of faith, because this is My Body"

You have to go deeper...the implication is not just what he did for Jairus, but for you and me. As Christians we all have a tremendous testimony.

[@55k3v1n]

I can't believe were debating theology on the site where such a beautiful song is being sung. Most Catholics would love the song and not feel any need to attack Don Francisco just because he is not a Catholic.

[@gtepp031387]

Athanasius 350 A.D.:"You shall see the Levites bringing loaves and a cup of wine, and placing them on the table. So long as the prayers of supplication and entreaties have not been made, there is only bread and wine. But after the great and wonderful prayers have been completed, then the bread is become the Body, and the wine the Blood, of our Lord Jesus Christ"(Sermon to the Newly Baptized, from Eutyches)

[@gtepp031387]

Cyril 350 A.D.:"For just as the bread and the wine of the Eucharist before the holy invocation of the adorable Trinity were simple bread and wine, but the invocation having been made, the bread becomes the Body of Christ and the wine the Blood of Christ"(Catechetical Lectures 19 [Mystagogic 1], 7)

[@ZeeuwseBea]

this is so very beautiful....

[@gtepp031387]

"How good do you believe one must be to earn salvation?" Salvation is by "grace for grace"(John 1:16), by grace further grace is recieved, no one works can save, but GODs works are needed and do save. Faith is a work of GOD, LOVE is a work of GOD, Hope is a work of GOD, all three save.

[@johnbones2444]

[@gtepp031387]

"Submission is the fruit of receiving the gift of eternal life by a loving merciful God." Grace comes first and allows us to submit, and to continue to submit, but we still have a free will, and may turn from GOD and sin. Once this is dun repentance must be made, anyone who sins beloengs to the devil, and one who belongs to GOD can not sin, becaues his seed remains in him....thus confession is very essential, not to mention it is ordered in the bible that we confess our sins to one another.

[@lindawarner7496]

Incredible

[@gtepp031387]

"Submitting to God is good, but does not earn salvation." I never stated that it could earn salvation, but grace without sumittion to it(of course the grace gives you the power to submit, but not is such a way as to remove free will), is really iust grace in wait...its like the unbelievers, grace is there for them, but they must submit to it.

[@thuff1969]

If you enjoy the way Don tells stories in the form of a song, you should check out Keith Green, especially the Prodigal Son, it's awesome! I cry everytime!

"The voice of the harlot is baiting apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, into supporting an interfaith movement promising unity for all people.

Hilary 350 A.D.:"As to the reality of His Flesh and Blood, there is no room left for doubt, because now, both by the declaration of the Lord Himself and by our own faith, it is truly Flesh and it is truly Blood. And These Elements bring it about, when taken and consumed, that we are in Christ and Christ is in us. Is this not true? Let those who deny that Jesus Christ is true God be free to find these things untrue"

Aphraates 325 A.D. :"After having spoken thus ["This is My body…This is My blood"], the Lord rose up from the place where He had made the Passover and had given His Body as food and His Blood as drink, and He went with His disciples to the place where He was to be arrested.... With His own hands the Lord presented His own Body to be eaten, and before He was crucified He gave His blood as drink" (Treatises 12:6)

Gregory 375 A.D.:"The bread again is at first common bread; but when the mystery sanctifies it, it is called and actually becomes the Body of Christ. So too the mystical oil, so too the wine; if they are things of little worth before the blessing, after their sanctification by the Spirit each of them has its own superior operation."

"you make the bread into a little idol." Sry it is you who has made an idol, as you believe somthing that is purley symbolic can make you sick and die "Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord....For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself...Therefore are there many inform and weak among you, and many sleep." (1 Cor 11:27-30)

[@gtepp031387]

"God saves us because we choose to have faith in His Son's work of redemption" Well more correctly put we are saved by the working of grace, and our acceptance anc co-operation with it. The first work of grace is faith, one who accepts faith is "saved"(temporaly) and "he that endured to the end, he shall be saved(eternaly)." Matthew 21:13...and yes I am Catholic, a convert from the man maid faith of Luther.
