Learn more about my music: https://victorhafichuk.com/ The interesting thing about this song was that at the time it came to me, I had no thoughts, feelings, identification, circumstances, reason, or remembrance of the past to inspire the words; I just woke up and wrote them – no music, just words, if I recall correctly. I just laid the words aside, thinking no more of them until 2016, almost 6 years later. The words were a puzzle to me; I didn’t know what to think of or do with them. They didn’t express at all how I felt when I received them or when I returned to them years later – those days were long gone. But after I just happened to listen to a song or two by the late Amy Winehouse (not my usual custom by far), who impressed me with her unabashedness, freedom from self-consciousness or effort to sing creatively, I considered those words given me and put them to music. The spirit of the music seemed to be inspired by Amy, a troubled lady who was also crying for help but wasn’t blessed to find it in this life. I wished I could have helped her. I then suddenly realized the song expressed exactly how I had felt in 1972 before I was converted. The song was a prequel to the time of newfound joy and freedom in Jesus Christ. Wow! I was thrilled at the realization. But for what purpose the song? I knew the song expressed how many, if not all, feel just before they meet the Lord. They’re searching, troubled, lost, confounded, disoriented, not knowing up from down, sorrowful, without direction or purpose. It’s a painful time – there you are, desperately crying for answers, for help, and nobody hears, understands or cares – nobody. I’m reminded of the words, “You gotta walk that lonesome valley; you gotta walk it by yourself; nobody here can walk it for you; you gotta walk it by yourself.” Woody Guthrie’s Lonesome Valley. Thank God, He answered and delivered me out of the pit of destruction and made me His. He’s Faithful and True!

Crossroads by Victor Hafichuk This song was written at Revivim, HaNegev, Israel in 1979 for a young man to whom the Lord had sent us to speak His Word of Instruction. Paul Cohen was confronted with a crucial decision, which had immediate and major implications for him. He took the right road, only to encounter many similar crossroads since, even as the song prophesied.

Music & Lyrics by Victor N. Hafichuk On May 9th, 2017, the Lord gave me a new song. I began to sing as I stood in our vacant, closed, echoing garage in Moon River. I felt a thrill in my soul and began with a bar or two of a pattern as in C, Em, F, and G. I searched for words. The only words coming at the time were, “I want you to know that, know that, I want you to know that….” From there I searched for more and came to, “…the greatest blessing, the greatest blessing….” From there to, “The greatest blessing is to know Him….” As days went by, I’d go on to other things but would return to search for more of the tune and words that were life and reality, not religious platitudes. I was inspired to sing from the heart and not from indoctrination or intellectual knowledge. I Want You to Know is one song I’ve had to search within for the tune and words. It’s also the one I’ve most enjoyed. It’s been like going deeper in mining for gold and by God’s grace, striking “pay dirt.” I speak of the theme, words, tune, the level of notes and form of words more suited for my voice and range, that is, the tessitura, and the pleasure I’ve enjoyed in the Lord. This is my most personal song. The theme certainly is the message of my heart. I came to realize this song is a Declaration of the First and Great Commandment.

Flying is something we all dream about. Why (I always ask, “why”)? It’s because we’re destined for higher things, even in this life. Take it from me. Listen to the other recordings and watch other music videos here: https://www.victorhafichuk.com/recordings/

From the time it’s born, it is making up it’s mind what to do, where to go, how to go. It thinks of tasting, experiencing, possessing, and enjoying. It isn’t long before it discovers things aren’t that simple. It very soon discovers there are other powers making the decisions it counts on or isn’t happy about, and there’s not a lot it can do about it. So with the walk of Reality, the True Christian walk. When I first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I thought I had arrived. I thought the time had arrived for instant victory, pleasure, prosperity, peace, happiness, and security. I was in for a gradated shock and disillusionment. Which eventually led to submission in all things to a higher power, which turned out to be none other than The Highest of Powers, the One Lord God Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of all things. At long last and loss of everything, including myself, I came to possess those things I had hoped for, including myself. There is a place of true victory and peace. It just doesn’t come by our own power or in the way expected or preferred. Ironically, we discover we had desperately clung to the wrong way and determinedly resisted the Right Way. I wrote this song in the midst of a lifetime of diverse trials. Now, in the end, life begins in earnest.

Voar é algo com que todos sonhamos. Por que (eu sempre pergunto "por que")? É porque estamos destinados a coisas mais elevadas, mesmo nesta vida. Tira de mim. Ouça as outras gravações e assista a outros vídeos de música aqui: https://www.victorhafichuk.com/recordings/

Highlights from Gravity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NzR1zOAFcM Prior to and after performing at Gravity Espresso, Jonathan Hafichuk and Riley Miller interviewed me. Can you believe it? My first interview of my singing career! They knew their stuff; I didn’t. They were the pro’s; I was the amateur. But I think we did just fine. God is moving us all along.

https://www.victorhafichuk.com/ I think that one of the greatest battles I have ever had has been to forsake family and more particularly my parents, and perhaps most particularly, my father. His draw on my heart was so powerful, so very powerful. In his last years, his state was so pitiable that it was very hard for me to refuse him any wishes. It was agonizing indeed. But he died and was buried on my birthday, April 1, 1985. His death was the morning after I received a vision of the Lord standing up to put a stop to the enemies who were tormenting me. I did not know anything of my father’s death until the following morning, or that his death and the vision were related. In his death, I felt loosened, with new freedom and power.

To Do or Not to Do available to stream here: https://www.victorhafichuk.com/recordings/ Upward and Joyous Gravity, It Was! It was a privilege for me to sing at Gravity Espresso and Wine Bar in Calgary at owner Andy Fennell’s gracious invitation. I enjoyed appearing with Bob Chartier and Mike Crampton, singer/songwriters who were cordial and understanding with me, someone green on the scene. It was great! Thank you, men! Thank you, to my friends for attending, to Jonathan of Symbol Syndication for your filming. Thank you to all your business associates and friends for making it an exciting experience for me. Finally, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for His precious gift of singing, a huge and awesome surprise for me to begin a new life I never dreamed of.

The Voice of the Almighty God has arrested my being. He has consumed my soul for the past many decades. He has brought me through blood, sweat, and tears, through the valley of the shadow of death, of sorrow, suffering, fear, loss, defeat, humiliation, and failure. He said to me, “As you have been hated by many, so I will cause you to be loved by many.” After nearly a lifetime, that promise has begun to be fulfilled. Now, I’m beginning to know victory, power, joy, and peace as I’ve never known it. He is delivering me from all my fears and has appointed me, my wife, and my companions to bring those same benefits to others, who will in turn bring them to others still. My dreams come true. How good is that?
