He's Alive: Don Francisco

At the top of the playlist, I've added a few songs by Don Francisco. Some of you that are younger than 40 may not know Don Francisco. He is one of the original contemportary Christian singers coming out of the 1960s with other singers the likes of Chuch Girard, Nancy Honeytree, and others.

I've always liked Don Francisco's music. It is simple, acoustic, and scriptural. It is not just "feel good" Christian music. Like Keith Green's music, it has a strong basis. Don Francisco's music shows his humble spirit and God's power.

The most familiar of Don Francisco's songs is the very first one in the playlist, a song called "He's Alive!" Of course, the song is about Jesus' resurrection, but it is sung from a specific person's perspective. Listen to the song and see if you can tell whose perspective the song represents. This is a good song to ponder or a good song to share with your friends.

I share this music with the young readers of this blog. I know there are a number of teens who read, and I wish to add to your history of contemporary Christian music. Enjoy!
