I first met Rich in 83. He played this song at a camp in Michigan. To this day it is still my life's anthem. I wish over and over that I still had the recording of the first time I heard this. His way of talking while playing the piano just moved me to the core. And he went out like Elijah.
Jon, do you know anything about a song called “Michigan” that Rich wrote and sang early in his career? It included the line “And I never was warmer than I was that winter up in Michigan.“
It’s such a beautiful theologically rich song! I have never heard it on the radio. How blessed you were to see him in person! I grew up in the 80’s but wasn’t saved until 2009. Never even heard of him until I saw “Ragamuffin” about 4 years ago. Love his song “Creed”. Third day did a great re make of it in honor of him🙏 😇
My favorite song of his: Ponder this lyric: "it won't break my heart to say goodbye". Not selfish, but the heartaches of this world will be nothing compared to being with Him in glory.
Unbelievable person. I wish he was still here. His music has influence my life. His musice got me through hard times. With God all things are possible. I will walk by faith.
Wowee, look at that beard! Reminds me that this was just 6 months or so after Keith Green died (July 1982). Two amazing men who pointed so many toward Jesus.
Wow, this was recorded only 4 months after Keith Green died. I wonder if that was ever on his mind when he sang this. It's not as though they were unaware of each other back then, Rich did record a cover of Keith's "You Are The One" for the tribute album released about a month after this recording. They looked so similar too, up there commanding the stage needing nothing but keys and a microphone... It seems Heaven holds the better choir than what we're left with here these days.
December 8, 1980 Rich's grandmother dies on this day as does John Lennon, who was shot and killed in New York City. Rich Mullins, provoked by the death of Lennon and his grandmother, writes "Elijah." Rich: "My favorite song that I've ever written is 'Elijah.' It was like another breakthrough. I wrote it around the time when John Lennon was shot. He was a big hero of mine, and my great-grandma died about the same time. I began thinking about the influence both of those people had on my life, and they were dead. These two people would never know the impact they had on me; John Lennon I'm sure wouldn't care to know, but my great-grandma, I never got to tell her. But then I realized I don't have to tell her. She didn't do what she did to have some kind of an impact on me, she did what she did because that's who she was." "And I'm going to be dead someday too. That's the first song where I forced myself to dig under a lot of the cliches of the Christian faith. I wrote a song that said, 'You know, someday I'm going to die, and I wanna die good.' Prior to that I would have tended to write, 'Someday I'm going to die and I will be resurrected,' which I also believe." (www.audiori.net/richmullins/timeline19551985.html)
Although I was born in 1964, I never heard of him until I saw Ragamuffin! I’m a baby Christian! I Will have to look up Keith Green now! Here’s an amazing tribute by “Third day” th-cam.com/video/i3i-_VWxOAc/w-d-xo.html .....In Christ
Oh how I remember Zion. I was a sophomore during this concert and Rich lived on my floor....it was the best school I am so blessed I got to attend there! We were all so young!
This was a chapel service of the Cincinnati Bible College & Seminary. We had them every Tues and Thurs. We walked to the church building from the campus.
My God....I hope it was painless. Wich it most likley was...But he has eternal rest up in heaven forever. With unspeakable joy, no pain or sorrow, just pure happiness, so Im sure Rich would not like us feeling bad for him.
Wow. Never saw anyone play piano with their legs crossed. Shows how natural of a talent he had. Like, playing the piano takes no effort physically for him, yet out comes such beautiful complexity.
I'm GLAD we are all alive here on earth, not because my life has been a slice of heaven in recent years but rather a living hell...Rich's music, lyrics and thoughts helped get me through it (and similar people living + obedient to God + Jesus FIRST) by always pointing me in the direction of God, =Doing GOOD+RIGHT. Nope, I rejected the path of decadence, despite being homeless/hungry/tortured/cold...And although the past 4 years my loss of spirit drew me more to Rich's positive/hopeful songs (Color Green, Carry On, Verge of a Miracle, etc. ) when I reached the lowest point I could ever be, and was faced battling, to literally stay alive due to the evil actions of a devil worshipping, Christian church in disguise, what God + Jesus Wants/ Needs + Wants from us all RIGHT NOW is to be "GLAD" that we are blessed with his love, compassion, and forgiveness (eternal life)...For me both this song and freedom of speech has taken on a whole new meaning..Yep, my body and spirit got beat-up really bad (sadly it won't be surprising if I enter heaven younger than I could/should have) But "I'll be going out like Elijah on a chariot of fire" while belonging to God's Army, Because I am now GLAD I was put through hell, to be mad enough to force myself to have a little more fuel, to be GLAD= GOD'S LIAISON AND ADVOCATE AGAINST DECADENCE! Hope you join me. Thanks:) Summary: Time has come to EXPOSE + CONQUER our "decadent society". All of them 1 by 1, and particularly those decadent who distort the truth and make up lies like 'freedom of speech' to fuel their evil. (You know the Cathy Griffin types + those who ban speaking about God's love in public. When the decadent are defeated, trust me, like the birds in their nests and the foxes in their dens, no man will ever again have nowhere to rest his weary head or fill his hungry stomach, because human COMPASSION, Caring + Concern for his neighbors + community will return... And we all will be GLAD we are safe, loved, belong and never really were ever alone. If you too are GLAD (against Decadence) and feel fueled by God's love and comfort, to care enough about the GOOD +SAFE well-being of your neighbors + society, please let me know. Because there's still a very slight possibility, that I've been beaten up too bad, and am kinda experiencing a fantasy (not real) instead of the obvious present in every day of any homeless, hungry, ill or otherwise compromised person (traumatized by bad and evil for a prolonged time period)..You know, those times in yoyr luve yoy've been served a whole lot more 'slices of hell' than 'slices of heaven'...I need to keep believing that when God gave human's a heart and emotions, ABD A CONSCIENCE it assured they would always have somebody to take care of them and help/assist if or whenever they were unable. I hope I'm right, otherwise can somebody point me to where my nest and earthly food is. ----And if one single person tells me they trust in God because our government social service agencies provides for those in need... (the MOST decadent group of people known to mankind= politicians + government) and those in existence solely based on taxpayer funds/greed/power/corruption...IDK...But hope after 55 years trying to figure out this world + God, I've always been right that both LOVE and GOOD CAN CONQUER ALL. And evil really never was winning at anything at all, they (like Kathy Griffin) are just really good at attracting alot of attention (needed for themselves because they lack the normal things, like a compassionate heart, to keep themselves going in a healthy way...Thanks for your time + interest. Gail Kathryn One at Yahoo who hopes to spread the word GLAD, before I go to Heaven. (...Against Decadence). TTYL. P.S. Rich, I love you more and more every day, almost 20 years you've been my musical angel from heaven. Thank you for always keeping me ob God's side, making me feel like I belong, even when those evil (decadent) people made me feel Invisible and a Nobody. You've straightened out my paths, always bringing me quickly back to God, and you would be proud of me now, cause I think I can finally do it (find God's love and complete faith) all on my own. Look forward to singing next to you some day :)
Me too. *Hugs*. I found out right after the wreck that he was gone - it was so weird, a stranger e-mailed me, i never found out who - and told me, before most of Rich's friends even knew. i ran to my Mom (i was 28, & so broken) and i just remember crying and saying "HOW can i do this without him?!". (OK, crying again). But i have met so many friends and amazing teachers and learned more through the years because of Rich. He definitely was God's here - he's gotta be lovin' heaven sooooo much. :)
I still can't recognize Rich everytime I see this video, lol, must be the rare full beard. I love Rich Mullins & I love this song, every version he has ever sung. Rich KNEW God BETTER than anyone I've ever met. Thanks Rich for adding so much Joy + Understanding to my life: "It won't break my heart to say Goodbye" - Hoping to meet you face-to-face (figuratively speaking) in heaven, soon. I love you & love God, so much. And I especially love watching YOU love God + Your Neighbors, in everything you did + said + sang...
So... Rich could have passed for Paul McCartney's twin back in 82... on a serious note... He always made it look so easy... He was SO talented... So humble... Always a pleasure to listen to him... Odd that I've never met him in person (watching him in concert doesn't count) and yet I miss him in some way...
I had ticket to see Rich Mullins but it never happened. However Idid get to see the ragamuffins in concert there after. I love this man he's so down to earth and has a ♥ for God.
I had a dream the other night and Rich was in it. The void I still have after losing Rich is big. He looked like he used to look. Cut off jeans, white t-shirt, tanned and long hair. He was telling me in the dream that "God has given you plenty of rest since you left the road. It's time to pick it up again". I am now struggling to seek God and see if we are supposed to sell everything and go back on the road. It was an awesome dream. Love you bro. See you in heaven.
I'm not sure why people get this wrong, but i wish we didn't have to talk about the hows and whys. I am SO grateful to God that we got to have Rich for almost 42 years and that he was real and used that and the huge talent God gave him to play, sing, write and tell us things we need to know. :)
I read in the book about the accident & according to the book he was not hit by a semi. A man driving a tractor-trailer as well as 2 women traveling in a car not far behind them stopped when they came upon the wreckage.
Before you are quick to Judge another fellow mans eternal position, understand that you will be judged as you judge. God is the ultimate judge. I promise you there are many who call themselves "Catholic" who do not now Christ, and will not enter the kingdom. And there are some who do not call themselves "Catholic", or partake of the physical Eucharist, who will indeed, be saved. Our God is a God of grace, and mercy. You don't help anybody by condemning people as if you were the Judge.
This song in this setting reminds me of my days at Lake Hills Church in Fayetteville, AR, in the early 90's. Check em out if your in the area, near hwy 45
Actually, Rich died on September 19, 1997, quite a few years after this concert. The car accident was not a fiery crash; rather, when the jeep in which he was riding rolled over, Rich was ejected and hit by a semi. He was killed instantly, though, by the truck.
@bramblecino I read the book about him my freshman year of college and it totally changed my life. It's called an arrow pointing to heaven just in case
Heyya, "thank you rich" creator! I'm not sure who scrubbed this video of its original credits in posting, but I notice you have a number of the individual songs from this concert posted without them.. some even with advertising?? I know this is the internet and things happen, but I would appreciate your at least noting that the originals came from the "rich mullins early music" youtube channel so that anyone interested can find the originals and many attached stories of his 130 plus pre-Nashville unpublished songs found there. The proper crediting allows appropriate recognition to go to his family through the (c)richmullinsongs copyright created to protect his early material. I knew, loved and traveled with him through the early years and the video of our concert that night was done by his uncle Dick on a huge dinosaur video recorder. That video tape, and hundreds of other cassette tapes I made through those years, are cherished and remain in my care. I released the videos for folks to enjoy.. and your help in directing them to the "rich mullins early music" youtube channel and fb group by the same name would be awesome. I apologize if the removal of those credits was done by someone else and would appreciate if you can direct me to them as well. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Oh... and I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos of that night! Very few were made through his early years, so they are unique and special. In case you're interested, here is the link to the recording of the entire concert. th-cam.com/video/hzfdaJUxMwU/w-d-xo.html beth @ (c)richmullinsongs
Hi Beth! I believe you were the one who sent me a Christmas box containing this VHS tape a little over a decade ago (thank you again!), along with some copies of handwritten Rich lyrics, some old cassette tapes, and the beloved Zion curtain (which I still have and treasure to this day). You knew Mikal Keefer back in the day which is how you discovered my love for Rich and his music. In your note you said I could make a copy of the VHS so I did, and then a few years later I thought I would post the videos individually to share them with a wider audience. I do not get any proceeds from the TH-cam videos (or from anything at all), since I don't have the copyrights to the music--google takes it all. I did not recall any credits to his uncle on the VHS itself, and apologies if they got cut out. Thanks for sharing the link and directing everyone to your page--I hope many visit there and thank you for sharing your treasure trove of incredible music by our beloved and very missed ragamuffin.
With all due respect, sir, because we have salvation by grace through faith, we can rest assured that Rich Mullins is in the presence of Christ in heaven at this very moment. Luther and Calvin were only unearthing Augustine's correct exegesis of Paul when they taught us the truth about grace. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9; confer Romans and Galatians).
"Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" Christ came to offer hope. There will be many in the kingdom of heaven who have never physically eaten the Eucharist. And there will be many who have eaten of the Eucharist, who will not be saved, because they had no love.
He will never go out of style. Here we are in the midst of 2021 and your music still brings true.
I first met Rich in 83. He played this song at a camp in Michigan. To this day it is still my life's anthem. I wish over and over that I still had the recording of the first time I heard this. His way of talking while playing the piano just moved me to the core. And he went out like Elijah.
Jon, do you know anything about a song called “Michigan” that Rich wrote and sang early in his career? It included the line “And I never was warmer than I was that winter up in Michigan.“
Rich is in Glory with Jesus....and Yes...He Did go out just like Elijah ❤️❤️❤️🙏...just Wow...just Wow....our God is an Awesome God.🙏
It’s such a beautiful theologically rich song!
I have never heard it on the radio. How blessed you were to see him in person! I grew up in the 80’s but wasn’t saved until 2009. Never even heard of him until I saw “Ragamuffin” about 4 years ago. Love his song “Creed”. Third day did a great re make of it in honor of him🙏 😇
What a legacy of a fervent devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Rich Mullins helped me through the most difficult sadness, grief, and depression ever in life.
Amen 🙏
I thought this was Keith Green when I first saw him. :) That beard, you know... Loved them, and miss them both.
Same!
Same
Me too😀
For realz
I thought it was McCartney.
My favorite song of his:
Ponder this lyric: "it won't break my heart to say goodbye".
Not selfish, but the heartaches of this world will be nothing compared to being with Him in glory.
Words cannot describe how awesome this video is... seriously!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯❤️ Rich went out just like Elijah...Our God is an Awesome God🙏
We have been blessed by Rich's and Keith's music. While I wouldn't wish them back here, I know they are worshipping together in heaven.
Well said!! Two of my ALL-TIME favorites .. and, clearly, God's.
Still love this man, his music, his humor, after 33 he still feeds my spirit 🙌🏼📖❤️
Seems like some of the best visionary Christian musicians live brief lives
Unbelievable person. I wish he was still here. His music has influence my life. His musice got me through hard times. With God all things are possible. I will walk by faith.
This is an absolute treasure. Thank you so much for sharing.
He did go out like Elijah.
Oh yeah. didn't he die in a car crash?
That's so interesting cause isn't it like Elija rode a chariot to heaven or something (idk I don't really read the bible.
Yep!
Tanner Sandell, I'd like to encourage you to start reading your Bible so God can guide your life to the fullest... :)
I wondered who would say it. It was prophetic - car accident that flew through the air and I believe set on fire. Sure miss Rich’s music.
Wowee, look at that beard! Reminds me that this was just 6 months or so after Keith Green died (July 1982). Two amazing men who pointed so many toward Jesus.
" It won't break my heart to say goodbye." Hello Heaven, Hello, rich and Hello Pam, my Ret. wife, waiting for me. Hallelujah amen!
Who gives this a thumbs down? Seriously.
They were probably crying and couldn't see the thumbs up clearly.
This was the last song he released to radio before he died. Man he was 35 yrs ahead of his time and one i can't wait to meet when i get to Heaven
Thank you Jesus
Wow, this was recorded only 4 months after Keith Green died. I wonder if that was ever on his mind when he sang this. It's not as though they were unaware of each other back then, Rich did record a cover of Keith's "You Are The One" for the tribute album released about a month after this recording.
They looked so similar too, up there commanding the stage needing nothing but keys and a microphone...
It seems Heaven holds the better choir than what we're left with here these days.
You Got That Right!
December 8, 1980
Rich's grandmother dies on this day as does John Lennon, who was shot and killed in New York City. Rich Mullins, provoked by the death of Lennon and his grandmother, writes "Elijah."
Rich: "My favorite song that I've ever written is 'Elijah.' It was like another breakthrough. I wrote it around the time when John Lennon was shot. He was a big hero of mine, and my great-grandma died about the same time. I began thinking about the influence both of those people had on my life, and they were dead.

Although I was born in 1964, I never heard of him until I saw Ragamuffin! I’m a baby Christian! I Will have to look up Keith Green now! Here’s an amazing tribute by “Third day” th-cam.com/video/i3i-_VWxOAc/w-d-xo.html .....In Christ
It’s okay to be lonely as long as you’re free…
I love Awesone God, but this will always be my favorite Rich Mullins song! ScreenDoor on a Submarine is also in my top five! :)
Keith Green and Rich Mullins, what great musicians at God´ s service
Oh how I remember Zion. I was a sophomore during this concert and Rich lived on my floor....it was the best school I am so blessed I got to attend there! We were all so young!
Just when I thought I had seen every Rich Mullins video in existence. Thanks for the upload.
This was a chapel service of the Cincinnati Bible College & Seminary. We had them every Tues and Thurs. We walked to the church building from the campus.
We had the Same thing at Southeastern Bible College, but it was every day.
I cry and worship Yeshua each time I heard and listen this song.
My God....I hope it was painless. Wich it most likley was...But he has eternal rest up in heaven forever. With unspeakable joy, no pain or sorrow, just pure happiness, so Im sure Rich would not like us feeling bad for him.
mrm64 you're right! The pain is gone now and he is up there with Jesus and Elijah!
God... please send us Godly men to our churches, our streets.
what an excellent piano player; i didn't know he was that good; what a great song as well; he was one of a kind
Wow. Never saw anyone play piano with their legs crossed. Shows how natural of a talent he had. Like, playing the piano takes no effort physically for him, yet out comes such beautiful complexity.
Thank you Rich
Rich looks so cute here..love this song
i like how he crosses his legs when playing the piano
Love Raw worship 🙏♥️😭
I love all his music
Beautiful soul

Joy + Understanding to my life:
"It won't break my heart to say Goodbye" -
Hoping to meet you face-to-face (figuratively speaking) in heaven, soon.
I love you & love God, so much. And I especially love watching YOU love God + Your Neighbors, in everything you did + said + sang...
Rich may God. bless you Richley. Philippians 4:1
such passion going into that keyboard!!!!! Thank you Rich
So... Rich could have passed for Paul McCartney's twin back in 82... on a serious note... He always made it look so easy... He was SO talented... So humble... Always a pleasure to listen to him... Odd that I've never met him in person (watching him in concert doesn't count) and yet I miss him in some way...
I had ticket to see Rich Mullins but it never happened. However Idid get to see the ragamuffins in concert there after.
I love this man he's so down to earth and has a ♥ for God.
This is a beautiful song!! 😄🙏
I was there!
I had a dream the other night and Rich was in it. The void I still have after losing Rich is big. He looked like he used to look. Cut off jeans, white t-shirt, tanned and long hair. He was telling me in the dream that "God has given you plenty of rest since you left the road. It's time to pick it up again".

very Billy Joelish, love it

What Way~~~to say GOODBYE 👋 🎶 💔 TO GO out like Elijah 👍
wow. mad respect to @richard mullins...................
strong feeling song and heart for God!
Thank you
This is very special.
Kitty
Wonderful performance, and quite foretelling about how how he would eventually die. Wow.
o i love this one from my teens
Truths Never Die❤️🙏
I am a Christian Drummer in part because of this Man!
i only found him when i realised he was gone.. i found him in prolly 2013 but he died in 1997.. which makes me sad.....
I read in the book about the accident & according to the book he was not hit by a semi. A man driving a tractor-trailer as well as 2 women traveling in a car not far behind them stopped when they came upon the wreckage.
Please come to Anchorage, Alaska! Please! Please! Please! Please!
Before you are quick to Judge another fellow mans eternal position, understand that you will be judged as you judge. God is the ultimate judge. I promise you there are many who call themselves "Catholic" who do not now Christ, and will not enter the kingdom. And there are some who do not call themselves "Catholic", or partake of the physical Eucharist, who will indeed, be saved. Our God is a God of grace, and mercy. You don't help anybody by condemning people as if you were the Judge.
I love this one too. :)
Amen brother.
Goodness, he looks so much like Keith Green here in this concert!
Thanx for posting!
@reidthornton hard to pick a favorite, when it comes to Rich, isn't it ?
Wow I thought this was someone else doing the song from the photo. Would not have recognized him at that age with a beard.
hey another new video!!! wow! thanks for posting!!!!!
This song in this setting reminds me of my days at Lake Hills Church in Fayetteville, AR, in the early 90's. Check em out if your in the area, near hwy 45
Before I read your comment, I thought, "wow, that looks a lot like Keith Green!" :)
Ya me too..beard looks great 👍
HE LOOKS LIKE KEITH GREEN!!!!!
I thought it was Keith!
oh my gosh! he looks so much like keith green right there
Cincinnati!!!
Where did you find this??? Wow! Had to be around the time he wrote it. Fantastic- thank you for sharing it!!
He beat the crap out of that piano.
Actually, Rich died on September 19, 1997, quite a few years after this concert. The car accident was not a fiery crash; rather, when the jeep in which he was riding rolled over, Rich was ejected and hit by a semi. He was killed instantly, though, by the truck.
I think he looks cool with a beard.
Nope I don't like it (beard). 1st time I saw this video here, years ago, I didn't even believe it was him- lol.
A poet
Bryan Dorm, finest CU ladies on the Planet!!!!
Is that really Rich? I have never seen him with a beard!!! :-o
keith green and rich mullins both played the piano hard and recklessly for Gods praise!
I think the camera guy had ADD

Heyya, "thank you rich" creator! I'm not sure who scrubbed this video of its original credits in posting, but I notice you have a number of the individual songs from this concert posted without them.. some even with advertising?? I know this is the internet and things happen, but I would appreciate your at least noting that the originals came from the "rich mullins early music" youtube channel so that anyone interested can find the originals and many attached stories of his 130 plus pre-Nashville unpublished songs found there. The proper crediting allows appropriate recognition to go to his family through the (c)richmullinsongs copyright created to protect his early material. I knew, loved and traveled with him through the early years and the video of our concert that night was done by his uncle Dick on a huge dinosaur video recorder. That video tape, and hundreds of other cassette tapes I made through those years, are cherished and remain in my care. I released the videos for folks to enjoy.. and your help in directing them to the "rich mullins early music" youtube channel and fb group by the same name would be awesome. I apologize if the removal of those credits was done by someone else and would appreciate if you can direct me to them as well. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Oh... and I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos of that night! Very few were made through his early years, so they are unique and special. In case you're interested, here is the link to the recording of the entire concert. th-cam.com/video/hzfdaJUxMwU/w-d-xo.html beth @ (c)richmullinsongs
Hi Beth! I believe you were the one who sent me a Christmas box containing this VHS tape a little over a decade ago (thank you again!), along with some copies of handwritten Rich lyrics, some old cassette tapes, and the beloved Zion curtain (which I still have and treasure to this day). You knew Mikal Keefer back in the day which is how you discovered my love for Rich and his music. In your note you said I could make a copy of the VHS so I did, and then a few years later I thought I would post the videos individually to share them with a wider audience. I do not get any proceeds from the TH-cam videos (or from anything at all), since I don't have the copyrights to the music--google takes it all. I did not recall any credits to his uncle on the VHS itself, and apologies if they got cut out. Thanks for sharing the link and directing everyone to your page--I hope many visit there and thank you for sharing your treasure trove of incredible music by our beloved and very missed ragamuffin.
I surrender@
With all due respect, sir, because we have salvation by grace through faith, we can rest assured that Rich Mullins is in the presence of Christ in heaven at this very moment. Luther and Calvin were only unearthing Augustine's correct exegesis of Paul when they taught us the truth about grace. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9; confer Romans and Galatians).
yeah he was so prophetic and didn't even claim to be.
At least I believe so.
This does not sound like Rich Mullins, is this someone doing his music??
I realize you posted this comment 5 months ago, but no this is Rich Mullins!
That’s Keith Green right???

"Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" Christ came to offer hope. There will be many in the kingdom of heaven who have never physically eaten the Eucharist. And there will be many who have eaten of the Eucharist, who will not be saved, because they had no love.
looks like Keith Green singing Rich Mullins
This is Keith Green.
I feel continually bent to the ground…
