        Victor                

 

                           Brother

              One of our brothers in Christ

         
          Today Victor is the servant of the Lord. He is the driver of a church car, also assistant manager and also the leader of ashier`s team. He is also leading the worship on regional meetings. In a spare from the ministry time Victor is working - delivering the mail at nights. Nobody knows when he sleeps. God gives him strength to be kind, vigorous. He is always and everywhere in time.

          But several years ago he lived as a tramp on the streets of Tel Aviv and was unrestrained in drinking alcohol.

          There are many people today who are still like him in his past, people who have lost everything in this life, they are there, on the very bottom of a human society. These alcoholics and drug addicts which could become worthy people if they would ever meet God as it has happened with Victor.

          Our brother went through the complete course of rehabilitation in a Christian center, organized by our American brothers from a church lead by pastor David Davidson. The name of this center is "Beit Nitzahon" (The House of Victory). This is only one such center with the two branches - one in Haifa and another one in Tel Aviv. They are intended for 10 - 12 people while there are thousands of such needy people today.

          When Victor was asked on where he would be unless he met God, brother has answered - "certainly, in a hell. I would die a long time ago, but the rescue came in a proper time".

          This song is performed by our brother, it tells about him, and about the others like him, about the revived ones and those who was not helped. About our neighbors.

 

                                                               IN THE LIFE                   
                                                 (blues about me)    

  The life is trampled down like an old rubbed carpet
  where is difficult to sort out any tracery,
  But there was something there, some kind of project or a plan ...
  But who knows about that, and the time dies,
  Wandering without a purpose through the mist
  In the life,
  In the life.

  There was a teacher in the evening school and he was a killer and a thief.
  You were writing a thesis on an actual topic of terror,
  You were going to be the first fiddle, but played over your role,
  While working out a topic "Me and an alcohol"... You have received the  diploma   that states about you as about an absolute zero
   In the life
   In the life.

   You have received the call-up paper, it means that there is a war somewhere.
   Your bride remained at home alone.
   You hit the mark directly, you were well-aimed rifleman,
   But you could not hit your own bed.
   You have taken the reference that you are lonesome
   In the life
   In the life.

   After returning back you have taken a bottle of wine,
   The bottle is a girlfriend and the bottle is a wife,
   Relatives told that everything is finished with you.
   Friends told that you are no longer one of them.
   The inquiry was given that you are a drunkard
   In the life
   In the life.

   You`ve decided to run, you`ve climbed on cornice,
   But you were not allowed to swoop down.
   You were taught by the boots until you became silent,
   You were treated by a strong medicine until you became silent,
   You have received the reference that you are an absolute nut
   In the life
   In the life.

   You have changed a country and a city, but remained the same,
   You`ve started to drink even more than you did before.
   You`ve made the conclusion that there is no any good even here,
   You were going to return, but squander on drink,
   You`ve received the certificate that you were born for no purpose
   In the life
   In the life.

   You were telling lies and you were stealing, you were in prison,
   You were coming out to the street only in the darkness:
   You were cleared for everything for a battle and five cigarettes,
   Cleared for everything for a battle and a few coins.
   You`ve received the certificate that you are no longer alive
   In the life
   In the life.

  You were unable to pray, you were sobbing in the dream:
  - Lord, if You exist, I ask You come to me.
  Long ago I became an enemy to myself,
  But I am sober today. You, enter my home!
  God, do not reject such mud as me
  In the life
  In the life

   Once at night when you, as always, were not sleeping,
   Someone carefully took your shoulder.
   You`ve shut softly your eyes by a weakened hand.
   You`ve asked a guest: But who you are?
   You`ve asked a guest, but who you are
   In the life
   In the life.

   That one smiled in response: I am Jesus, your God.
   More than once you were begging someone to help,
   There was a limit and there was no strength anymore,
   Someone who would come and destroy the power of unmeaning years,
   That he would rescue your soul and guide you to the light
   In the life
   In the life.

   Once you did not answer the calls for a long time,
   And the neighbors did not hear you screaming at nights.
   They`ve decided that you have died, they broke your doors - 
   Your flat is empty, it is difficult to believe in it,
   You have left your home, you have come to follow Christ always
   In the life
   In the life.

   He is the truth and the way, He is the doors to God`s Kingdom,
   He is the entity of each single life, and you believed in Him.
   Your cage is empty. You have accepted Christ in your heart.
   He is the truth and the way, He is the doors to God`s Kingdom,
   He is the entity of each single life, and you believed in Him.
   Your cage is empty. You have accepted Christ in your heart.

   You were born again, you`ve started your life again,
   And God`s love has shined as the sun.
   You are healed, redeemed, revived and saved.
   Your nightmare was cut short by Jesus.
   You have received the certificate that you are forgiven
   In the life
   In the life.
