Dmitri's Song (Jesus Is Alive) Todd Smith There's a Light
My name is Dmitri, I was born a Russian man
I was a factory worker until 1960 and I
Started teaching the Bible to my two little boys
And that's when the journey began

Well our house became a church and the Sunday School grew
Had a hundred and fifty before we knew it
But the KGB didn't want God around
Seventeen years they locked me up a thousand miles away

Chorus:

This is my heart song
And I will stand and sing
For I am a son of the living King
So when the fire comes
I'll be rejoicing
Yeah, even when I suffer I'll be singing
Oooooh Jesus is alive
Oooooh Jesus is alive

Despite fifteen hundred prisoners criminal to the core
Who'd laugh and curse and bang their cups and try to drown me out
Like clockwork every morning with the rising of the sun
I'd stand and raise my hands and sing my heart song up to God

Believers stand for what you believe
Faint not in adversity
If you are cursed for Jesus' name
Don't give up
No, don't give up

Well they tried to break me but I wouldn't give in
And as they came to drag me out for my execution
I heard a choir of angels, yeah, murderers and thieves
Those fifteen hundred criminals had risen up for me
They raised their hands and sang the song my father taught me
The sweetest sound I ever heard
Yeah, I heard freeedom ring
Oh, let it ring
