      Lots so sad sometimes in life when always feel bad energy from the one that’s suppose to cherish you and care about you and all it looks like is murky water but you know when you rest your hope in Jesus and and the second coming of god or being human it helps and I don’t know this game of life but it feels like an end time life judgement day sometimes I feel like I’m dead and sometimes I know I’m only human

    I heard only the first few seconds and called my family in to watch and listen. As the tears streamed down my face I listened to a song that always touches my heart by people who always touch my heart set in the countryside that always touches my heart. God loves us so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    i happened to hear this accidentally while studying in a university in Nova Scotia, Canada during fall season in 2014 close to midnight and was transported to another realm , honestly i have not listened to this kind of playing and whenever i listen to this piece i would be surrounded by the cold weather of Canada, the stillness of night and this lovely playing amidst total silence here in India. I would play this as a background and play violin with it and it would be amazing to Hear. MAy Our Lord Jesus Christ Bless all of you who made it possible for us to hear this dedicated performance.

    First heard "He's Alive" from a friend while in college. I was starting to get skeptical, but this beautiful music from Don convinced me not to give up my faith, just the particular church I felt abused by when I was younger. I started going to a different church and everything got better, especially my faith in God.

      @@poppylove3673 I was Lutheran and it wasn't being that which made me mad. The church-like many in the NCC--was getting too liberal and my mother joined me later in the church I found peace. My father died before he could transfer himself. I was more angry that I was treated like I was mentally retarded by a no.of the parish despite the fact that I was going to Dekalb college then. I had too many comment they thought teaching nursery " might be too hard for me" and "I've got a class you'll just be in love with. Kevin just loves it." I asked the pastor; he admitted it was a special ed. class for his nephew who had Down Syndrome. I asked if I could teach it since I was going to majour in it at NGC soon and had already been accepted. "We already have 1 teacher for 2 students." I asked who the other student was. "You.". Apparently, he didn't believe me or my parents. I soon left as there were h.s.students who jeered at me-and Kevin-and the parents were no better. I was soon close to feeling that my professors were right til I made friends in my classes and someone invited me to the Newman Family, the Catholic --org.off-- campus. Not all my friends were Catholic; some were BSU or Wesley. They introduced me to Don McLean and I met a guy who introduced me to an Anglican Protestant Church and then transferred to St.Barnabas in Dunwoody. It was a wonderful change for me. While I didn't get to graduate in teaching, I did get a BA in Art at GSU after my dad died. That was the happiest day God gave me- 6/13/87. He's Alive!

    “WHAT CHILD IS THIS? (GREENSLEEVES)” LYRICS
    1. What child is this, who, laid to rest,
    On Mary’s lap is sleeping,
    Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
    While shepherds watch are keeping?
    This, this is Christ the King,
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    The babe, the son of Mary!
    2. Why lies He in such mean estate
    Where ox and ass are feeding?
    Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
    The silent Word is pleading.
    Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
    The Cross be borne for me, for you;
    Hail, hail the Word Made Flesh,
    The babe, the son of Mary!
    3. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh;
    Come, peasant, king, to own Him!
    The King of Kings salvation brings;
    Let loving hearts enthrone Him!
    Raise, raise the song on high!
    The virgin sings her lullaby.
    Joy! joy! for Christ is born,
    The babe, the son of Mary!

I could visualize Jesus rising and those around being so brought to the realization that everything He had told them was true! I still feel that movement when I hear the song and am thankful that Jesus Christ is my savior and for what He did for me on the cross!
