The Steeple Song by Don Francisco

Go to www.donfrancisco.com for his music and video's

[@suitcasey1]

Don Francisco was one of the first Christian artists I listened to when I came to know the Lord in 1985. Jesus looks at how we treat one another - we are His hands and feet to a desperate world.

[@davidjsouth231]

I loved Listening to this song when I was young mid 80s

[@matt76716]

Should be compulsory listening in every church. Spot on.

[@naomiagbebaku530]

My lecturer played this clip during one of our leadership classes, what a blessing !.

[@MrZeke]

I am 42 and just returned to the fold and this song was so instrumental in my childhood, what a blessing to find this on youtube! Thank you for posting this, I have rewatched it 4 times in a row!

[@leviernst8183]

Amen brother

[@SharkWhisperer1988]

Just heard this on the oldies station for the first time, hit me right in the feels…

[@stevesara427]

One of my favorite!!! This songs really hits the nail on the head about Christianity verses Religion! Amen and Amen!!!

[@maggiependle359]

I've loved his singing since he first came out. I saw him once in concert at a large church in the neighborhood. He was amazing. He tells a message people can relate to.

[@bettyannboop]

I love this song, my ex-husband and myself used to go to all the concerts when Don Fransisco came to Houston. I bought the CD for this song and loved all the songs...

[@godsword7775]

I remember seeing him in concert back in the 80s in Tennessee it was a blessing thanks for sharing bro God bless brother Ken

[@judithsimpson6798]

I love this song. Thank you Jesus for finding this song for me.

[@amytaylor8932]

Hello, how are you doing today I hope you’re having a great day so far

[@sgt7]

I like Don alot - he's sober and a human. It's all a show without love. Don hit the nail on the head. I wish i was more like him.

[@vaporsspiritrider3880]

I love this song. been repostin it on facebook for two years every time I think of it

[@ajc60803]

One of my all-time favorite Don Francisco songs!! Thanks for posting it.

[@jamescecil4629]

I met Don while on business in the 90’s in Nenah Wisconsin in a school auditorium

[@francisbusa1074]

So deeply convicting!

[@MrAnilbose]

always loved Dons songs from my childhood, they have more meaning today...

[@AJP0884]

Not everyone that saith unto me Lord. Lord shal enter into the kingdom of my Father but he that DOETH the will of my Father.

[@kdd6723]

Amazing song . He is gifted indeed. To tell the truth and sing and play beautifully.

[@marjoried8121]

I can't believe I found this song! Thanks for sharing!

[@markyounger1240]

This is the best christian song writer by far. He's alive, and I've got to tell somebody are amazing.

[@amytaylor8932]

Hello, how are you doing today I hope you’re having a great day so far

[@mariejones1672]

Love this! 🥰

[@yellowdaisygarden]

Awesome song!!! Brings back memories and a good reminder too,,,,

[@Linda-iw7bk]

Thank you. I hope to find Don Francisco singing There Will Be a Reckoning.

[@bigsinger1981]

I would be what’s called an agnostic but you can not deny the beauty and great lyrics of Don Francisco. Adam, gotta tell somebody and this would be some of my favourites. Growing up in a war area with daily bombings we had a local church building that had pool table and table tennis we would go there every day and they played Don tapes. Was brilliant times and by couple weeks we knew every word and used to ask for requests haha.

[@seenonyt2210]

That struck me. Thank you for sharing. Growing up in war... I hope you are well now. Best wishes to you! And yes, I find these lyrics great, too.

[@SusaFitz]

Love this, always have, always will!

[@asgrey3]

Powerful stuff. The words are just so poignant and relevant to today's church.

[@wmgrishjr]

Ouch !!!!!!! Had to do some soul searching !

[@glehnmarc]

Yeah ... this is a hard song, but I hear the love in the truth Don gives us.

[@prodigalson6166]

Hello, how are you doing today I hope you’re having a great day so far

[@DavidORiordan]

a beautiful song, one that everyone and every church should heed.

[@williamveaver9373]

This mans has a glorified voice and it’s blessed by God

[@amytaylor8932]

Hello, how are you doing today I hope you’re having a great day so far

[@p1mpernel]

Good to remember in a day when too many are ready to reject the stranger. "Every time you turned your head and pretended not to see ..."

[@memeslove9535]

Amen

[@lw216316]

I think if Bro Don sang this in the 'average' church today...... there would be dead silence when he finished.... and he would not be invited back. Our Lord Jesus spoke of a Church that made Him so sick he would vomit it out of His mouth.

[@TheoGoddefroy]

Amen

[@rodneypickering2061]

You are so right. I remember the first tim that i saw him live in Memphis Tn in 1977 the forgiven album just came out. I felt so clise to God i still feel it and remember it to this day. God bless you brother Don and sister Wendy

[@rodneypickering2061]

Sorry about the phone type os

[@bigedslobotomy]

I’m not so sure. Yes, there are churches that don’t show God’s love, or are petty and bickering, but there are a great number of churches that walk the walk (and I’m not just talking about feeding the homeless and helping the downtrodden). Many churches do show Christ’s love for each other and for their community. It’s easy to criticize churches because they’re filled with fallible humans, who will always fall short of Christ’s ideal. Too many times I’ve seen unbelievers say that they won’t go into a church because it’s “filled with hypocrites”, but that’s a cop-out. Of course it’s filled with hypocrites, but so is the world. How many environmentalists drive SUVs or fly jets around the world. How many celebrities go on TV to get money for the homeless or for disaster victims while continuing to live in luxury?

[@patrossiter7078]

God Bless

[@annerolfe2819]

Amen!!!!

[@jovonpatterson]

almost to tears......

[@loveandpeace1985]

i enjoy this song...i remember when I first heard it it made a lot of good points about what a lot of evangelical churches become.....we need the Word of God and the Spirit of God not some programs, dont mater if its forty days of purpose or joel osteen er paperback Bibles , no what matters is the pure Word of God being followed out of love for God!

[@craig8031]

Such an inspired song. So Love your work Don and Wendy...brings back such memories. Just wish you still did road trips...if you ever feel the urge to do one last one, please come to So.Calif Calvary Chapel E. Anaheim.

[@nathanm5846]

I wish don had sung a song with keith green that would be totally Awesome!!! :)

[@higherlove2547]

Praise Jesus Lord of all!

[@GoldenSirius]

Awesome song.

[@ZMAN44708]

Amen. Great Song!

[@papatom609]

well said Don God Bless, papatom

[@joefleming2604]

great musician and song writer!

[@vaporsspiritrider3880]

help us Master to guide us out of our traps even in the churches and to be empowered into your prescence and give the good foot. we don't want to be the ones who "did it NOT unto the least of your brethren, thus NOT unto you". Change our hearts..i believe every believer prays this with me. In Jesus holy name we pray this and I pray you help those of u who are quik to scorn those we feel have not lived in giving and to put that scorn away which only pushes them into defence but present this truth to them in pleading balance an love..

[@Divergent.Spirit]

Great song to give a final on =) That sounds like fun!

[@slu2657]

[@aarondavis8473]

From the laughter, applause and clapping to the beat, I'm not quite sure the audience was getting the message.

[@loveandpeace1985]

this is a good song

[@memee182]

2013 is a year of clearing , we need to be standing out front from the false prophets, and compromising players. Telling them of the Jesus return and love.. This is not the time for laying low. Jesus needs his message to get out there, it is 2 minutes to twelve. P.T.L. Dons music has never failed to do just that

[@vaporsspiritrider3880]

Mathew 25: 31-46 is the teaching of Jesus this was written after. Praises due

[@narrowway820]

well said don, right on, time for serious changes

[@Divergent.Spirit]

How lucky of you!! Did you enjoy it??

[@wendyflanagan5738]

Pray for all of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's current government to be saved from all the bad of the world and to convert to Jesus's kingdom if any of them are either lost, upset by Covid19 or need to be eternally saved from hell. Please pray also for my family who need prayers for conversion. I have accepted Jesusxas my Saviour and find it difficult to witness to some. So immense thanks.

[@trevor8930]

Man, I'm a relativly new christian and I've been looking for good christian for while, this is nice.

[@vaporsspiritrider3880]

hippys are the real Christians, basically is what hes saying. and its a serious thing with Jesus. when you real Mathew 24, I believe, this verse hes quoting its a matter of heaven or hell.

[@julz3tt3]

Vapors Spiritrider that's why I love Don't. He's so real

[@TheAlan39]

Good song, breaks it down to what really matters.

[@revbobmartin]

Yep, Matthew 15:34-42

[@xswallacex94]

Wow, I was raised in a Pentecostal church. Don F was the music that represented the word. I stopped believing many years ago because it all seemed so rediculous. I would tell my family, it's hard to believe when not only do you gave to argue against "The World", but also argue if you even believe in Jesus the right way. To see all these arguments against this brilliant artist about if he "believes" right or not just goes to further the my peace that it's all nonsense. Keep fighting, Christians, it helps us previous believers remember why we don't. Lol

[@robmangeri777]

xswallacex94 that stinks man, sorry that's what you experienced. Hopefully you have also realized that all people tend to argue over silly things Christians or not. I'll pray that God Himself reveals Himself to you so no person gets in the way including me!

[@socalgoetz]

You sure God wants all his kids to go to heaven? #prettysure

[@kathynichols2677]

?

[@paulbortolazzo]

One of the reasons deception rages within the church today is because many are ignoring the Spirit of God. Make no mistake, Christianity without Pentecost is a lie. This is why anyone teaching the gifts of the Holy Spirit have passed away is taking away from the prophecy of Revelation.

[@CJ66slade]

I have read the link and believe, sadly, that DF has been led astray (if it is correct) if he believes that the Bible is not 100% accurate. But this man, as you can see by his songs, LOVES God very much. And his songs are not tainted. He is, as we all are, sinners. All I have to say is that we should ALL pray for him and his wife, that they will see the truth, that their eyes will be opened, and that they will no longer be influenced by those who are NOT Godly and teaching things untrue. We are ALL fallible. Only God and His word are infallible. I will pray for them both. because this song speaks the truth and moves my heart so much. Along with "He's Alive" ... two of my favorite DF songs. And they always will be. I hope he turns back to see the truth. But just because a person errs, does not mean they lose their salvation. That is a gift from God that the inerrant Bible tells us cannot be taken away! Praise the Lord!!

[@prodigalson6166]

CJ66slade Christ is the only living word; put away your idols: (Holy) Spirit of the Law Not the letter of the law. The spirit brings life but the letter brings death.

[@GianniIsmaeleArena]

these false prophets are above all under the charismatic ones, their lies grows and grows

[@mthompsoNZ]

I believe the Bible tells us why there is deception today. 2Thess 2:9-12 says God will send a delusion to all those who refuse to love the truth, and I believe that this refers to the person of Yeshua and to the written Truth in the Word of God.

[@petcal2004]

That is a great message to Republican in 2018 - 2019... oh boy those words!!

[@kande39]

wow really

[@SilasRaven]

Too bad Don tells people today that we don't really know if Jesus is alive or not, since the Bible is not a reliable account of the truth.

[@clearlight3338]

Hi Dave.would you please watch why you can believe the Bible on KZbin.the person speaking is Voddie Baucham.

[@SilasRaven]

Hey Mike, I already believe the Bible, just pointing out that Don does not.

[@TheMasterPlumber]

Source?

[@SilasRaven]

His and Wendy's own words on their FB posts.

[@Randy-jh2jv]

I checked his facebook page and could not find anything. Could you provide a link or be more specific? If he is preaching dead faith I will be sure to boycott him, however it is a serious accusation and I want to see proof before I accept any allegation about a brother in Christ. Two or three witnesses is common, however a self-proclaimed statement in the site of all surely qualifies.

[@TheCannonofMohammed]

Why does he sing about Christianity at all? Seems like he could be singing with as much conviction about Buddhism, Islam, or Greek mythology. He makes disparaging comments about Bible believers ("book worshippers"). Sad.

[@prodigalson6166]

Hank Fuddle It's a Christian song sung by a Christian. If people truly lived up to the Law rather than worship their religion they would witness for Christ rather than against Christ.

[@xswallacex94]

[@deannalindsey7888]

You may have been raised in a church. But that doesn't mean that you were born again. The HOLY SPIRIT came to me at a very young age and let me see that I was a SINNER in need of THE SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. For I had faith and believed that JESUS is the SON OF GOD AND THAT HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND SHED HIS BLOOD SO THAT WE COULD BE FORGIVEN OF OUR SINS AND THAT HE WAS BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY so that we can have ETERNAL LIFE. THE LORD JESUS made it so simple that a child can understand. I am in my fifties now. JESUS is real. John 3:16 for GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten SON that whosoever believer on him should not perish but have everlasting life. JESUS says REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT Hand. If the HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS TO YOUR HEART, do not delay. FOR tomorrow May be to late. Those that reject JESUS CHRIST AND DO NOT REPENT OF SIN will spend ETERNITY IN HELL. Those that ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST as the SON OF GOD AND REPENT OF SIN WILL have their sins forgiven. AND have ETERNAL LIFE with the KING OF KING AND LORD OF LORDS. THANK YOU JESUS FOR SAVING ME. FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
