Fall of 1988, I go to this bible study at my friends house. There is this girl there and we start talking. I tell her I play the piano and she asked me if I knew any songs by Keith Green, I gave her a coy smile and said "Pick one" hoping she picked one of the four I could actually play. She asked if I knew "Your love broke through" which I did. That girl liked Keith Green, Piano players and the Raiders, and we have been married for 30 years.
Awwww... what a sweet story ❤. Wishing you so many more years together. I have loved Keith Green since my sister brought his music home. It's one of my happy childhood places.
@@bearkiels9032 My Aunt and Uncle lived in Costa Mesa California right in the middle of the Southern California Jesus Movement. My Uncle tells the story of going to Chuck Smith's Calvary chapel and there was some wild hair hippie beating a piano to death. My brother brought back Keith's album in 1977 to our house. The 8 track in our Chevy Monte Carlo had 2 tapes Andre Crouch and Keith Green.
This is awesome! My Dad and Keith wrote this song together along with Randy Stonehill.Yes they were once upon a time "lost" hippies "seeking" the truth in all the wrong places,but both soon fell deeply in love with Jesus and were transformed, and very sober by this time(:Keith asked to be my God father shortly b4 I was born at last day's ministries,and when I was almost one the plane went down and although I wish I grew up with Keith I truly think he might be making more of an impact from heaven
Such precious memories as I was a teen in the 1970s in California - and these gifted artists were so influential in those turbulent years. Truly inspirational - even these many years later!
If David was a man after Gods heart, Keith Green sat at his feet. A true Maverick and a man of faith. His message still reverberates through time. Now more than ever, the urgency is real to make amends.
A person never realizes what a a far reaching g impact their ministry has on others. We were missionaries in the Philippines when I first heard his song. What a time of spiritual refreshing I had being ministered to by his ministry.
Keith has always brought forth such raw, genuine reverberation in his songs in his walk with Jesus. Praising him, struggling with times of uncertainty, longing to reach the lost on this earth. I've always been most drawn to his music. Praise the Lord for ministering through him.
if you enjoy his type of spiritual songs. i enjoy them as well but i also enjoy stryper, angelica, contagious, sovereign grave music, david and the giants and petra, idle cure and many others songs that glorify the trinity.
I mixed sound for Keith at Calvary Chapel San Diego North Park in the late '70s. My sweetie walked forward that Wednesday night. Married for 45 years. Went to Christian Night at Disneyland and as we were exiting Keith was playing and we were all praising God. When he finished and we looked around, the crowd was massive. They were already marshaling people out as it went overtime... but it was sooo awesome worshipping at D-Land. Went to Keith's last concert at Jesus West Coast in '80s and a few weeks later was sobbing at my workbench as I listened to KBRT. Rich Buehler announced Keith and others crashed... they sent me home and my sweetie was sobbing. We sat there with our girls and cried. Just a couple weeks later we heard that Melody Green was going to be in San Pedro welcoming the Mercy Ship, Anastasis. It was just an hour south of us and went there with our four small children. The crowd was massive and we're singing praise songs and the crew on the ship was singing back with us... chilling. After the dedication of the ship to the ministry for Christ we were able to tour the ship. We saw a daycare and school, radio room, mess (dining in ship-speak)... we realized that WE could use our skills as missionary support! Wow! In 1987, following Keith's missionary call,, we traveled to Waxhaw, NC to Jungle Aviation and Radio Service (JAARS) for training as a communication/avionics tech and went through TX and stopped at Last Days ministry. Went to the graveside and cried again. Every album paralleled our life as Christians... except "So You Want to Go Back to Egypt". We spent 6 years serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators/ JAARS in the Philippines. I was the Communications Manager of three centers and my sweetie taught 1st and 2nd grades. It was Keith's dream to motivate young people to the mission field, and after his death thousands did just that... similarly to the late 50s after five missionaries were martyred by those they were praying to reach. Both were impetus for missions. After spending 10 weeks on a ventilator and 4 in rehab, these songs, and those of the early Calvary Chapel movement, echo constantly in my mind and heart. May God bless you with this - one of thousands - stories of how Keith Green's life and death was used mightily by God.
Loved your HiStory. Do you by chance know the Reid family? They went with Wycliffe and when they were stateside lived in Waxhaw ~ still do in retirement.
@jklewis54 Language school in Ecuador; Peru, Africa, France ~ they're entire career spent with Wycliffe. I understand it's a wide range of time, place, etc, but hey, I've run into some "it's a small world" stories. Btw, Keith impacted my life, (East coast Jesus Freak) and, as a result, siblings, nieces & nephews, children, sil, grandchildren ... my family tree. I love his music, to this day I'm encouraged & instructed by the song of The Gospel as Keith sang it for the short while we had him. Marantha! 🙏🏼✝️🇮🇱🎗
I was inspired by Keith & Melody Green and LDM as a young Christian in the 80's. I'm from the San Franando Valley also. After reading Melody's book I learned that we were both in the same Buddist cult but in different parts of LA. I was going to go to Texas to get training for missions but God told me "No. Your mission field is your own back yard!" So I guess that's how I got started in homeless ministry, and LDM & his music were a very big part of my life back then.😊✡️✝️🤞
My Mom just passed from cancer and I remember her playing this and singing this on the piano and crying when i was a kid! Thank you Jesus for her! Now im crying and singing it. Thank for your mercy Lord. Love You Mom!!!!
Keep listening to Keith's music...it will encourage you greatly in your new walk with God, I have been saved now for 38 years...still listen to Keiths music...cant go wrong
I was saved in 1980 and weaned on Keith Greenand LDM. I think the only other performer that came even remotely close was the late Rich Mullins. Cut from the same cloth..... Can't wait to worship my Lord God ( with Keith) in heaven. Wow. This is one of my favorite songs EVER.
+Anthony Root that man had a real "saul on the Damascus road experience" & I heard about he died in an airplane cash & for years(decades) though not much about it! Now I believe he was "deliberately murdered" because his life & anointing offended many sinners & so-called Christians out there !!!!!
+Aljonimo Aspieman Well what happened to his as well as the other bodies? think Keith Green had enemies because he was so devoted &I feel his anointing would have gotten stronger & stronger & evil & evil men did not want this!!!!!
+RonSafreed All nonsense. Keith wasn't murdered! He died along with 11 others in a plane crash. If someone wanted to murder him, why would they also kill the pilot and a family of 8, plus Keith's 2 tottlers?!! Ya know, that's exactly how unfounded rumors get passed sround. Even IF there were no bodies, it would have been because the plane blew up in a cloud of fire from the impact But there were bodies...all 12 of them died. The bible says that gossip (rumors) is a sin. The reason Keith Green and the rest of them died is because that's when God took them. We all have an appointment with desth. Some of us die very young, some in accidents, some in old age, and some out of self - inflicted stupidity like alcohol/drug overdose, some by suicide, etc. God already knows when each of us will die and He knew it at the beginning of time, long before we were even born. So please stop with untrue remarks. If your statements are true, then please post your source, Until then, I will believe the truth.
+Aspieman Aspergers The Scripture says that every good and perfect gift comes from our Father in heaven. I promise you that he never desires to see any of his precious children abused and murdered. Our Father has never caused these things to happen but he has sent the solution to the cause of all this wickedness. When Jesus took the cross for you and I, he provided the Love Solution for our willfully wicked hearts (Mark 7:20-23). The truth is that all of the motivations of God's heart towards us have been displayed for us in everything Jesus did and said while he was among us. In light of this reality we can see that he does not approve of anything evil or wicked because he is holy and pure. So he sent the innocent man Jesus to be guilty in our place. Even though I was guilty of great sin in my heart, Jesus willfully chose to suffer in my place the punishment I deserved from God. The only man to ever be tempted like the rest of us but never give in became the one who God poured out his holy wrath on. This is so you and I don't have to bear God's wrath. This innocent man took our punishment so we could come to God and know him personally. God took the just punishment of evil upon himself for you and I. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.(Isaiah 53:4-6)
Look up some of his wife's talks on you tube, like his memorial concert. She said that the two children were buried in the same casket with Keith in his arms.
Have all his records, yes Lp's, 🤣 I was 14 when he died. I rededicated my life to Jesus 6 yrs ago and started listening to his music again as I did when I was a teenager. Praise God for Keith's anointing still strong today through his Christ giving songs.
I met Jesus on the 8th March 1987.He delivered me. His light broke into my dark life and set me free. He called me to follow Him THANK YOU JESUS Shortly after this I was given a Keith Green worship tape by an amazing Christian. Keith Green’s Your Love Broke Through is my story If you are in the Dark and scared and afraid ,there is a way to freedom. Call on the name of Jesus
+derek p thanks a million for your testimony, I was blessed by your info & Keith Green was a 100 fold Christian when he lived here before his death in 1983!!!!
I’m so glad I lived through this era. The Jesus movement swept across America, Keith Green, second Chapter of acts, Larry Norman and Phil Keaggy to name a few. Mighty men of God rose up like Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel movement thousands of hippies were baptized in Corona Delmar. It was like living in the book of Acts. What a privilege to see God pout out his Holy Spirit.
And now I am so glad I am living through the Chapters of Revelations, Peter and Psalms currently in America. Peter warned in these days, as in his his as most people are single and not married, encouraging yet stern to our married Christians brothers and sisters - of divisions in the Christ churches . In war and politics, follies of mankind are not working. But the spirit is calling, many are called and many hear. But few are chosen .
I was atheist but PAPA GOD sent HOLY GHOST to touch me in 1972, on CHRISTMAS EVE when I asked HIM in the name of JESUS! GLORY! 👏🏼❤️ I woke up CHRISTMAS MORNING, BORN AGAIN! HALLELUJAH! 🎄🙌🏼🎄🙌🏼👏🏼❤️✝️❤️
I was born in 1983, almost a year after Keith Green went home with the Lord. My father would play his music when I was a child and it spoke to me. When I was a teenager his music helped ground me. I would play his music and worship the Lord as I feel asleep. I was a pretty wild teenager but it was the love of God that always drew me back to him. Even today in my late 30’s Keith’s worship to the Lord brings me back and grounds me. I am so grateful for his heart for the Lord and the talents God have him. His testimony and ministry are still touching hearts decades later. The worship of our king is timeless. We praise your Holy name Yeshua Adonai.
Aww, amen, this is like my story! When I had insomnia and anxiety as a teen, my dad gave me a cassette tape of him and I listened to him. Even in my late 30’s it still is meaningful despite it not being normal for our age group. Keep seeking Him first!
This man truly loved Jesus and followed the call to serve Him no matter the cost. Today, when I needed encouragement from the Lord to sustain me through a difficult time, He led me to this song. Thank you Keith for not loving the world, for showing that when you allow the love of Christ to fill you by His Holy Spirit, the world around you is affected. I look forward to seeing you in heaven.
I am a Christian and this song makes me cry every time I listen to because m life completely. a few years when I was 7th grade, I began to stray from God and didn't realize it until I began feeling empty inside. one time I watched a documentary on Keith Green and this song played at the end and it was so convicting because it made me realize how much I had strayed from the LORD and it described my life perfectly. after watching I got back on track and began living for he Lord once again.
Worshiped with Keith way back when. His songs are still applicable today. Every knee will bow and every mouth will confess that Jesus is LORD. I pray that you accept him before it's too late.
I remember some Christian friends of mine who introduced me to Keith's music when I was a teenager. We were all devastated when he and most of his children died in that plane crash. Their ministry based in Texas sent us records for free since we could not pay for them. I will never forget this man's music and his deep commitment to his faith.
I met a dear beautiful lady in Fred Meyer, and she helped me with my pregnancy out of wedlock, and led me to Jesus! I'm so glad I met her, and she introduced me to Keith Green's music.
Me too!!! I remember the day he died and just how devastating it was to a lot of us. Keith planted seeds in me 1978-1982 that are still sprouting and bearing fruit today. ☝️🙏💙
many many years ago I was in the Fresno County Jail for the weekend (long story) during that time I spent there I wrote down the words to this song, I had left the writing on my bunk as we were served our dinner for the evening. Upon my return to my bunk I'd found that the paper was gone. I know in my spirit God used that moment of my incarceration for his GLORY.
If I could capture in words the moment the love of Jesus and the cross pierced my blindness and filled my heart and mind with light and joy, it would be this song. And I long for the day when I will fully see Him.
"Keith Green was an intense and radical man of God. He was taken from this Earth at a relatively young age. His legacy lives on through his music and his sermons."
Keith Green's songs are timeless and transcend generations! His songs glorified God and He lived his life to give all glory and praise to him. Thanks for posting this great worship song! God bless!
A genuine Christian who off the temptations of commercialism and compromise. Helped shaped the eighties with a true call to mission and sacrifice. How we need this same call today! He was the "Real deal".
You probably already know him, but Jason Upton is our modern version of Keith IMHO. Preaches from both behind the piano, and has a call to lay down our lives for the cause of making Jesus known globally . He's been the pioneer of modern prophetic worship for a long while now. You should check him out.
He was the real deal. His powerful nature and spirit, Christ given of course, spoke to me and fortified me as a young and growing Christian. His music speaks to me today as it did then, and today with the contrast of what Christian music is out there, I have to say... His Christian credibility is unmatched. These new singers-- 97% just do not have it from their core to be breathing Gods words in to what their bodies are manifesting. Keith did this. I am so thankful to Claudia Thomas (who at the time resided on Calais Rd. in Mendham, NJ who was a 'friend' of my Mom's) she was a Christian like very few I had ever met (this is in April, 1980) She lit a fire in me to be real about my faith. I went to church with her and her family.... Felt a bit odd because it was so charismatic-- Not like the Presbyterian church I was going to-- which too was Christian, I do not fault that church... But for the dynamic nature of faith being expressed through daily life... WOW, the kind of Christianity called for by Keith to be a sincere follower of Christ, Claudia Thomas had it. When I went away to college for my last two years to UNC Charlotte, I met a girl, Laura Johnson. We ended up dating, but she brought me a Keith Green cassette for my car, so I could listen to him (I didn't have a personal anything to play the tape, just my player in my car... We weren't so spoiled like we are today back then)... His music spoke to me like nothing else ever had. Today it is no different. I put on his music and in no time tears. Tears that say, wash yourself and go out in the day and be there for people in your path. Be there to hug, and make people feel His REAL love! So, I do. It's awesome.
I listened to Keith's music when I was a new Christian. Nothing better to help me grow in my faith. Still brings me back to the sweet new love in the Lord!
Thank you for sharing this. Back in 1988 freshman in college, I met the Lord and was inspired by Keith like no other Christian musician. It's been a long road back to the Lord but I'm waking from the dream again. So glad both the Lord and Keith Green are here to welcome me back. Praise you Jesus!
Keith hit it right on the button!! I was lost in my own intellect until I realized I needed Jesus. He was that missing part my heart needed. I woke up to find Him looking at me with His loving eyes and right through my heart. I was only 18 years old at the time, thirty years ago!! I've never been the same since then. Man's intellect blinds us from understanding God's simple ways. Amen!!!
I grew up in church, got saved young but this song touched my heart when I was 15, and made me weep for joy knowing how much Jesus loved me, after hearing it and many more songs of Keith Green it made me want to read my bible, to know the scripture the songs were based off of. I also subscribed to his newsletter which was like a small magazine, written about the things happen today and how you deal as a christian…..it was NOT churchianity…. It was REAL and Honest and encouraging to me to further seek God and know Him….I am so grateful to Keith Green ministries and their articles….and I can’t wait to hear his new music in heaven one day when we will be with our savior, Jesus worshipping ✨
I saw Keith in concert for the first time in the late 1970s in a gymnasium. We all sat on the floor around the piano as he played, sang, and testified of God's goodness and love for us. His ministry transformed my life. I remember hearing the news of his death and the deep sorrow that came from that announcement. His music still impacts me. It seems like it was yesterday.
Keith Green was such a part of my Faith journey. In my 60’s now and find Zach Williams same effect. Very different sound but eyes on Jesus! Thank you Lord for the blessings of music 🎶
Religious? No bro ….in love with Jesus, you don’t write songs like these without knowing the one who saved you from hell…..when you know God’s love for you, when you know Him deep in your heart…you want others to know because God is everything, loving God and feeling Him love you back is indescribable Keith’s music does though , it’s a taste of what Jesus can be in your life, He is so amazing and He loves you so so much!✨
I’m so blessed to have heard him live when i was 14… i met him and he prayed with me, individually, along with anyone else asking for prayer. I witnessed Jesus that night. So rare in today’s “industrial” Christian performers.
Like a foolish dreamer trying to build a highway to the sky All my hopes would come tumbling down And I never knew just why Until today, when you pulled away the clouds That hung like curtains on my eyes Well I've been blind all these wasted years And I thought I was so wise But then you took me by surprise Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed Until your LOVE broke through I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me Until your LOVE broke through All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part And with one touch, you just rolled away The stone that held my heart And now I see that the answer was as easy As just asking you in And I am so sure I could never doubt Your gentle touch again It's like the power of the wind Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed Until your LOVE broke through I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me Until your LOVE broke through
wow, wow just beautiful,this lyric just touched me so deeperly,because that's what I was, blind, in a world of fantasy, thankyou God 4 such a beautiful talent gift of a man givin 2 me when I most needed
Still so good, a great reminder - thank you for surrendering to God, Keith. It’s been a great reference through three years so far of how important it is to build my own relationship with Christ. Time is limited on this earth.
We had all of his music on 8 track. Then I got the cassettes. A few years later I bought the CDs. Now I listen to him on Spotify and you tube. Different media, same amazing music.
Was born after Bro. Keith went on to be with the Lord, but I grew up on his songs. Him and Matthew Ward had/have some of the most distinctive voices. "So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt" one of my favorites from Bro. Keith. ❤😊 It's gonna be so great when the family of God is united in eternity singing praises to King Jesus! ❤😭❤
To me Keith was the greatest Christian Music star of all time and he was only 28 when he was taken from us. He was so gifted and talented and we never got to see all of his talent and we were robbed of the future music that he would have made. He is making music in Heaven now
That brother is still a blessing. Just as when I started my walk 44 years ago. I long to see the Lord and the servants that have kept me alive all these years. Come quickly Lord Jesus
Ground breaking realisation of God Power. I was saved by a Christian band who were obedient to the Spiritual calling if God. Grateful they were. Praise God at all times.
Saw Keith in LA a month before he was taken home. His music was such a blessing and conviction in my early walk with Jesus. Loved getting Last Days Newsletter in the mail!!
I met this man at a concert he was playing in st.louis mo. Great singer and songwritter. I wept when i heard he died. I will never forget his faith and smile.
MYYYYY GOD.....just hearing his voice..this music...it takes me back to the early 80s when I was going to Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Maryland. This music and Petra, along with Amy Grant, was EVERYWHERE in my church world back then. THANK YOU JESUS I will see Keith one sweet day.
My personal testimony in a song! Beautifully written, obviously Holy Spirit inspired! Thank you Jesus for Keith Green! I pray more people will rise up and be bold for you in Jesus Name amen 🙏
Keith Green was a great example of a godly man. Don't worry about Christians - they'll always let you down - they're human after all. Set your eyes on Jesus.
+Aaron Harford let me share this with you! JC is coming back soon to rule this world for the "Millenium"! This is why there is the modern nation of Isreal today, because when JC comes back He will go to Jerusalem & land back on the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem(the same place He ascended to heaven 2000 years ago)! 1948--- prophecy fulfillment of Isreal becoming a nation, 1967--- prophecy fulfillment of Isreal regaining control of Jerusalem! Other unfulfilled prophecies, Jerusalem becoming their capital, a third temple being built(all pieces are ready in storage now)! A final holocost against the Jews in which two-thirds die worldwide & in Isreal! The remnant third will come to accept JC as Yeshua/Messiah! something they should have done as a nation 2000 years ago but did not but soon will! That is when He will come back also with His holy angels & resurrected saints (humans that lived & died back to life) However they will be in a higher state, not mortal but immortal in a state of divinity & glorification!!!! (Think about superman/superwoman & what they are able to do) This explains these folk! That dude satan & his cohorts(fallen-angels & demons) will no longer rule this world "god of this world" but now JC is "GOD" of this world, not "god" of this world satan has been for thousands of years! Aaron this is a "blessed hope" (future expectation) of many Christians! The Millenium will be a time of peace/health/prosperity/freedom/opportunity like ever before in human history! BTW people will start living longer & longer lives like once before many thousands of years ago! Women will become more beautiful & men more handsome less aging & a much more graceful aging in later life!!!! Think about these things a Christian has written you & thank you !!!!!!
Then you are probably more intelligent than the average person. Watch this, www.reasonablefaith.org/videos/debates/tag/lewis+wolpert and this th-cam.com/video/6CulBuMCLg0/w-d-xo.html Love ya bro.
I grew up with Christian music, but have since become agnostic...but still some of the Christian music of my youth, such as Keith's, is soothing somehow. So much talent in him, a tragic death.
you should watch the links I put up. yes I agree we are all ultimately agnostics, but I think the weight of evidence shows us we can take a position, no?@@Werewolf0216
What a voice !! I can picture Keith in my mind singing to the Lord, with a sold out crowd in heaven. Thank you Lord for my brother Keith, and his awesome music.
I grew up listening to Keith’s cassettes on repeat on long summer road trips. I’m still moved by the beautiful writing and meditative, Soul/R&B-inflected delivery, both vocally and on piano. And, of course, his incredible piano playing was a huge influence on me as a young aspiring musician myself. Ultimately, I chose the guitar, but I learned how to use my giftings for the Lord from Keith and other outstanding early CCM artists.
If you haven't watched Keith's story, do so. Yahweh implanted a passion and zeal in him that, we as believers, should exhibit daily. Keith's music encourages me and humbles me and makes me ever so thankful for Yeshua's sacrifice and love for me. I was searching for YEARS with drugs and alcohol. His love truly broke through, I now have a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. Only the love from our Messiah will keep us contempt. Prepare, He is returning.
Keith Green, Randy Stonehill & Phil Keaggy. 3 brothers in the lord who still were at the beginning of the Christian music movement and still inspire us..Thank you lord for bringing these men to us..
I think it was back in 1976 when I would drive with my girlfriend to Keith and Melody’s house for a bible study he had each week in his living room. I can’t remember how I found out about it. That’s how I heard about the Vineyard and eventually the Christian nightclub, The Daisy. Such an amazing time back in my college days. He had such gifts: piano, personality, and testimony.
When I need to prepare for a sermon, there are few ministers who renew my focus on Christ like bro. Keith Green. Though home with the Lord since I was a boy, he still speaks!
I can't believe how much Keith has made a impact on so many, I discovered him a year after he left us. His music was just what I needed to grow and mature very fast for the situation I was in during my early teens. I am yet to meet or see anyone with his passion not just for real CHRISTIAN music (not what the Companies are pushing on us) but for the lost.
A beautiful song ,I am so sorry to hear of the lost of him and his to kids and others that were on the plane, I know it's been years, but my condolences to his Wife and family. I just heard this song on AFR talk ,and when they said the late Keith Green I looked it up. 😢 I'm glad I will meet him I Heaven when that time comes . I had been reborn about 12 yrs now and I could never do anything without the Lord my Savior!!!🙌✝️❣️
This is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard and am so grateful for such a man of God who knew the One he sang to in ministering to thousands of people. Today, 7/20/2020, years later the Lord is still using him to show His Love so powerfully. Thank you so much!
Thanks to the LORD JESUS CHRIST , I heard or should I say I remember this song at the age of 5 years old in 1980 from my precious mother who taught me about the SON of GOD . And to this day Keith Green still makes me cry when I listen to this song because of JESUS CHRIST . All praise and glory to the MOST HIGH , The NAME Above ALL NAMES , JESUS CHRIST , YESHUA . Thank you Lord Jesus for everyone and everything you put in my LIFE . AMEN!
A psalmist and prophetic singer for sure. Highly anointed,and totally souled out. What an inspiration. It was an honor to be introduced to his music in my youth. The lord used it to carry me straight into adulthood
Just today, I was driving around, listening to Keith Green. His voice reminded me of a song I heard years ago, but I had trouble remembering the words and I didn't know the name of the song. So I grabbed my phone and tried to Google the few words of the song I could recall. After about five minutes, my search failed to turn up any song. So I gave up for the time being and set my phone down. Literally a few seconds later, this song began playing. When he reached the chorus, I realized it was THE song I had been trying to find. I got teary-eyed. It was God speaking to me through the song. I really needed to hear the words to this song, not because I wanted to remember the song, but because my heart needed to hear Him speak to me. He was singing over me. I can't tell you adequately how wonderful it felt. But, I did briefly feel horrible. Horrible because earlier I had been in a rather bad mood (difficult drivers, to be kind about it). But I didn't believe He had forgiven me. I KNEW He had.
This was the first Keith Green song I ever heard, when I was 20. It seemed like it was describing my own spiritual journey. Over two decades later it still softens my heart to hear
Fall of 1988, I go to this bible study at my friends house. There is this girl there and we start talking. I tell her I play the piano and she asked me if I knew any songs by Keith Green, I gave her a coy smile and said "Pick one" hoping she picked one of the four I could actually play. She asked if I knew "Your love broke through" which I did. That girl liked Keith Green, Piano players and the Raiders, and we have been married for 30 years.
Best comment ever! Laughing so hard! Yes!!!!
Awwww... what a sweet story ❤. Wishing you so many more years together. I have loved Keith Green since my sister brought his music home. It's one of my happy childhood places.
What a wonderful story. I just discovered Keith Green a few months ago and I've been listening to him to this day.
The rest of the story is she would not go out with me for 6 months.

Very cool story, Keith is still ministering to people today
Wow, nice story! Im sorry, is your father still alive making music for the Lord!!😊🙏
That’s very special! My buddy Phil Keaggy does a great version of this song. Keith will always be one of my top favorites!
Wow He is still making and impact from heaven that is for sure Brother Daniel.
Such a blessing and powerful song.
Such precious memories as I was a teen in the 1970s in California - and these gifted artists were so influential in those turbulent years. Truly inspirational - even these many years later!
If David was a man after Gods heart, Keith Green sat at his feet. A true Maverick and a man of faith. His message still reverberates through time. Now more than ever, the urgency is real to make amends.
A person never realizes what a a far reaching g impact their ministry has on others. We were missionaries in the Philippines when I first heard his song. What a time of spiritual refreshing I had being ministered to by his ministry.

👍
godfrey odhiambo Amen!!
Keith has always brought forth such raw, genuine reverberation in his songs in his walk with Jesus.
Praising him, struggling with times of uncertainty, longing to reach the lost on this earth. I've always been most drawn to his music. Praise the Lord for ministering through him.
if you enjoy his type of spiritual songs. i enjoy them as well but i also enjoy stryper, angelica, contagious, sovereign grave music, david and the giants and petra, idle cure and many others songs that glorify the trinity.
This song says it so well. It was the first record I bought in 1985 after ditching atheism. Still makes me cry.
Brian Ross Praise Jesus!!!
Brian Ross praise God!
Makes me bawl too.
I no longer have faith, but this song still moves me. When it’s real you feel it. He really believed and I can’t help but to be moved.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD FOR YOU!! I AM HAPPY FOR YOUR SOUL! GOD bless you man!
I miss real anointed Christian music like this here. No compromise. .No crossover.
I grew up with Keith when his music was brand new on vinyl. If you ask me? Better than church any day!
No "God is my Girlfriend" nonsense, where you're not really sure what they're singing about. I love Fernando Ortega, too.
@@janetaldrich7747 "God is my girlfriend" oh my gosh that explains modern Christian music perfectly.
This vintage Christian music is pure gold, how spiritually flat & dull alot of the bethel/Hillsong trendy worship music is.
@@Dewvoodle same here!
I mixed sound for Keith at Calvary Chapel San Diego North Park in the late '70s. My sweetie walked forward that Wednesday night. Married for 45 years.
Went to Christian Night at Disneyland and as we were exiting Keith was playing and we were all praising God. When he finished and we looked around, the crowd was massive. They were already marshaling people out as it went overtime... but it was sooo awesome worshipping at D-Land.
Went to Keith's last concert at Jesus West Coast in '80s and a few weeks later was sobbing at my workbench as I listened to KBRT. Rich Buehler announced Keith and others crashed... they sent me home and my sweetie was sobbing. We sat there with our girls and cried.
Just a couple weeks later we heard that Melody Green was going to be in San Pedro welcoming the Mercy Ship, Anastasis. It was just an hour south of us and went there with our four small children.
The crowd was massive and we're singing praise songs and the crew on the ship was singing back with us... chilling.
After the dedication of the ship to the ministry for Christ we were able to tour the ship. We saw a daycare and school, radio room, mess (dining in ship-speak)... we realized that WE could use our skills as missionary support! Wow!
In 1987, following Keith's missionary call,, we traveled to Waxhaw, NC to Jungle Aviation and Radio Service (JAARS) for training as a communication/avionics tech and went through TX and stopped at Last Days ministry. Went to the graveside and cried again.
Every album paralleled our life as Christians... except "So You Want to Go Back to Egypt".
We spent 6 years serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators/ JAARS in the Philippines. I was the Communications Manager of three centers and my sweetie taught 1st and 2nd grades.
It was Keith's dream to motivate young people to the mission field, and after his death thousands did just that... similarly to the late 50s after five missionaries were martyred by those they were praying to reach. Both were impetus for missions.
After spending 10 weeks on a ventilator and 4 in rehab, these songs, and those of the early Calvary Chapel movement, echo constantly in my mind and heart.
May God bless you with this - one of thousands - stories of how Keith Green's life and death was used mightily by God.
Thank you for sharing your amazing story.🙂
Loved your HiStory. Do you by chance know the Reid family? They went with Wycliffe and when they were stateside lived in Waxhaw ~ still do in retirement.
@@JICA77 No, sorry. Do you know where they served?
@jklewis54 Language school in Ecuador; Peru, Africa, France ~ they're entire career spent with Wycliffe. I understand it's a wide range of time, place, etc, but hey, I've run into some "it's a small world" stories. Btw, Keith impacted my life, (East coast Jesus Freak) and, as a result, siblings, nieces & nephews, children, sil, grandchildren ... my family tree. I love his music, to this day I'm encouraged & instructed by the song of The Gospel as Keith sang it for the short while we had him. Marantha! 🙏🏼✝️🇮🇱🎗
I was inspired by Keith & Melody Green and LDM as a young Christian in the 80's. I'm from the San Franando Valley also. After reading Melody's book I learned that we were both in the same Buddist cult but in different parts of LA. I was going to go to Texas to get training for missions but God told me "No. Your mission field is your own back yard!" So I guess that's how I got started in homeless ministry, and LDM & his music were a very big part of my life back then.😊✡️✝️🤞
My Mom just passed from cancer and I remember her playing this and singing this on the piano and crying when i was a kid! Thank you Jesus for her! Now im crying and singing it. Thank for your mercy Lord. Love You Mom!!!!
Wow, listening to this I'm 20 years old, just saved and filled with the Spirit. I want to be like that again. I want to end well.Thanks Keith.
Was my go to in the early 80s!
Keep listening to Keith's music...it will encourage you greatly in your new walk with God, I have been saved now for 38 years...still listen to Keiths music...cant go wrong
God is the author and finisher of your faith. You will end well.
There has never been another one like him.
I agree but Jason Upton gets quite close in my opinion
Rich Mullins is great and I am not comparing the two, but there is none like either of them! They are both so Amazing and the best Christian singers!
He's our modern day John the Baptist along w/John Vernon Mcgee
Wrong mate. King David was just like this:
Wholeheartedly in deeds and song towards God
I was saved in 1980 and weaned on Keith Greenand LDM. I think the only other performer that came even remotely close was the late Rich Mullins. Cut from the same cloth..... Can't wait to worship my Lord God ( with Keith) in heaven. Wow. This is one of my favorite songs EVER.
I was born a decade after Keith Green died but I must say the Holy Spirit moves powerfully through his music now.
+Anthony Root that man had a real "saul on the Damascus road experience" & I heard about he died in an airplane cash & for years(decades) though not much about it! Now I believe he was "deliberately murdered" because his life & anointing offended many sinners & so-called Christians out there !!!!!
+Aljonimo Aspieman Well what happened to his as well as the other bodies? think Keith Green had enemies because he was so devoted &I feel his anointing would have gotten stronger & stronger & evil & evil men did not want this!!!!!
+RonSafreed
All nonsense. Keith wasn't murdered! He died along with 11 others in a plane crash. If someone wanted to murder him, why would they also kill the pilot and a family of 8, plus Keith's 2 tottlers?!!
Ya know, that's exactly how unfounded rumors get passed sround.
Even IF there were no bodies, it would have been because the plane blew up in a cloud of fire from the impact But there were bodies...all 12 of them died. The bible says that gossip (rumors) is a sin.
The reason Keith Green and the rest of them died is because that's when God took them. We all have an appointment with desth. Some of us die very young, some in accidents, some in old age, and some out of self - inflicted stupidity like alcohol/drug overdose, some by suicide, etc. God already knows when each of us will die and He knew it at the beginning of time, long before we were even born. So please stop with untrue remarks.
If your statements are true, then please post your source, Until then, I will believe the truth.
+Aspieman Aspergers The Scripture says that every good and perfect gift comes from our Father in heaven. I promise you that he never desires to see any of his precious children abused and murdered. Our Father has never caused these things to happen but he has sent the solution to the cause of all this wickedness. When Jesus took the cross for you and I, he provided the Love Solution for our willfully wicked hearts (Mark 7:20-23).
The truth is that all of the motivations of God's heart towards us have been displayed for us in everything Jesus did and said while he was among us. In light of this reality we can see that he does not approve of anything evil or wicked because he is holy and pure. So he sent the innocent man Jesus to be guilty in our place. Even though I was guilty of great sin in my heart, Jesus willfully chose to suffer in my place the punishment I deserved from God. The only man to ever be tempted like the rest of us but never give in became the one who God poured out his holy wrath on. This is so you and I don't have to bear God's wrath. This innocent man took our punishment so we could come to God and know him personally. God took the just punishment of evil upon himself for you and I.
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.(Isaiah 53:4-6)
Look up some of his wife's talks on you tube, like his memorial concert. She said that the two children were buried in the same casket with Keith in his arms.
Have all his records, yes Lp's, 🤣 I was 14 when he died. I rededicated my life to Jesus 6 yrs ago and started listening to his music again as I did when I was a teenager. Praise God for Keith's anointing still strong today through his Christ giving songs.
I met Jesus on the 8th March 1987.He delivered me. His light broke into my dark life and set me free. He called me to follow Him THANK YOU JESUS Shortly after this I was given a Keith Green worship tape by an amazing Christian. Keith Green’s Your Love Broke Through is my story
If you are in the Dark and scared and afraid ,there is a way to freedom. Call on the name of Jesus
+derek p thanks a million for your testimony, I was blessed by your info & Keith Green was a 100 fold Christian when he lived here before his death in 1983!!!!
+RonSafreed Actually Keith Green died on July 28, 1982 not 1983!
Sweet. Bless you brother.
Me too... Jesus saved a wretch like me. His love broke through the darkness that held my heart.
Ha! I also surrendered to Christ March 8th but in 1993...Keith's music really blessed and solidified my walk with Christ.
I’m so glad I lived through this era. The Jesus movement swept across America, Keith Green, second Chapter of acts, Larry Norman and Phil Keaggy to name a few. Mighty men of God rose up like Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel movement thousands of hippies were baptized in Corona Delmar. It was like living in the book of Acts. What a privilege to see God pout out his Holy Spirit.
I would love to be part of something like that again
Me too and I believe our generation will lead the way to the last revival
I wish that too. This was truly a pouring out time although I was only a little kid then, I experienced the after effects as a youth. Thank you God
Just missed this era by a hair my Chrisyian musical mentors are larry norman,Steve Camp and Keith Green as well as Glenn and Wendy Kaiser(Rez Band)
And now I am so glad I am living through the Chapters of Revelations, Peter and Psalms currently in America. Peter warned in these days, as in his his as most people are single and not married, encouraging yet stern to our married Christians brothers and sisters - of divisions in the Christ churches . In war and politics, follies of mankind are not working. But the spirit is calling, many are called and many hear. But few are chosen .
What a precious gift God gave us, only for a short time...🙌
I was atheist but PAPA GOD sent HOLY GHOST to touch me in 1972, on CHRISTMAS EVE when I asked HIM in the name of JESUS! GLORY! 👏🏼❤️ I woke up CHRISTMAS MORNING, BORN AGAIN! HALLELUJAH! 🎄🙌🏼🎄🙌🏼👏🏼❤️✝️❤️
I was born in 1983, almost a year after Keith Green went home with the Lord. My father would play his music when I was a child and it spoke to me. When I was a teenager his music helped ground me. I would play his music and worship the Lord as I feel asleep. I was a pretty wild teenager but it was the love of God that always drew me back to him. Even today in my late 30’s Keith’s worship to the Lord brings me back and grounds me. I am so grateful for his heart for the Lord and the talents God have him. His testimony and ministry are still touching hearts decades later. The worship of our king is timeless. We praise your Holy name Yeshua Adonai.
Aww, amen, this is like my story! When I had insomnia and anxiety as a teen, my dad gave me a cassette tape of him and I listened to him. Even in my late 30’s it still is meaningful despite it not being normal for our age group. Keep seeking Him first!
I turned my back and walked away from Jesus more than 20yrs ago and listening to this song sounded good. Sanity to the insane.
Jesus wants you to come back home
Clearly you are insane to walk away from an eternity of Love, Peace, Joy and Rejoicing :/
This man truly loved Jesus and followed the call to serve Him no matter the cost. Today, when I needed encouragement from the Lord to sustain me through a difficult time, He led me to this song. Thank you Keith for not loving the world, for showing that when you allow the love of Christ to fill you by His Holy Spirit, the world around you is affected. I look forward to seeing you in heaven.
My childhood 90s 😢 I was looking for him that particular song and I just found it just now !!!!
I am a Christian and this song makes me cry every time I listen to because m life completely. a few years when I was 7th grade, I began to stray from God and didn't realize it until I began feeling empty inside. one time I watched a documentary on Keith Green and this song played at the end and it was so convicting because it made me realize how much I had strayed from the LORD and it described my life perfectly. after watching I got back on track and began living for he Lord once again.
Yes! It still moves me to tears all these years later….bless God for this music
In our youth days,Keith Green shipped many LAST DAY MAGAZINES and many of his songs to us here in Africa all FOR FREE..
❤
That was probably expensive postage. What do you do in Africa?
That's amazing!
@@christopherskipp1525 I am now a professor at the University of Nairobi but also a lay leader in my local church
@@joashmigosi1789 Mr. Migosi, the Lord has opened doors for you. Praise HIS Name. Do you have link for the university?
Worshiped with Keith way back when. His songs are still applicable today. Every knee will bow and every mouth will confess that Jesus is LORD. I pray that you accept him before it's too late.
❤he is coming!
One reason I'm saved today through Keith Greens ministry praise God
I remember some Christian friends of mine who introduced me to Keith's music when I was a teenager. We were all devastated when he and most of his children died in that plane crash. Their ministry based in Texas sent us records for free since we could not pay for them. I will never forget this man's music and his deep commitment to his faith.
This is one of the most HONEST and greatest songs ever written!!!! Amazing singer.
he is one of the best.
I met a dear beautiful lady in Fred Meyer, and she helped me with my pregnancy out of wedlock, and led me to Jesus! I'm so glad I met her, and she introduced me to Keith Green's music.
Every time I hear his voice I smile. I cannot wait to meet him in heaven
I'll be in that line too!
Me too!!! I remember the day he died and just how devastating it was to a lot of us. Keith planted seeds in me 1978-1982 that are still sprouting and bearing fruit today. ☝️🙏💙
many many years ago I was in the Fresno County Jail for the weekend (long story) during that time I spent there I wrote down the words to this song, I had left the writing on my bunk as we were served our dinner for the evening. Upon my return to my bunk I'd found that the paper was gone. I know in my spirit God used that moment of my incarceration for his GLORY.
If I could capture in words the moment the love of Jesus and the cross pierced my blindness and filled my heart and mind with light and joy, it would be this song. And I long for the day when I will fully see Him.
Hello how are you doing, my name is Josh Mark i bring you good news.
"Keith Green was an intense and radical man of God. He was taken from this Earth at a relatively young age. His legacy lives on through his music and his sermons."
34 years addicted too evry drug ,iam alive and sane ,building on a real reality with my teeth holding on jesus sandals, even this is mercy
Be encouraged!!
Awesome, know about the 34 years of junk. Delivered also. God bless you, man 🙏
My wife of 38 years is in heaven now-- there's a glad reunion ahead for me, seeing all who have gone before me! Thank You Jesus!
Keith Green's songs are timeless and transcend generations! His songs glorified God and He lived his life to give all glory and praise to him. Thanks for posting this great worship song! God bless!
A genuine Christian who off the temptations of commercialism and compromise. Helped shaped the eighties with a true call to mission and sacrifice. How we need this same call today! He was the "Real deal".
Amen. I've been praying God would raise up someone like Keith. So much now is performance.
You probably already know him, but Jason Upton is our modern version of Keith IMHO. Preaches from both behind the piano, and has a call to lay down our lives for the cause of making Jesus known globally . He's been the pioneer of modern prophetic worship for a long while now. You should check him out.
Phat Stringz does Jason Upton charge for his music?
George Valco
Great
He was the real deal. His powerful nature and spirit, Christ given of course, spoke to me and fortified me as a young and growing Christian. His music speaks to me today as it did then, and today with the contrast of what Christian music is out there, I have to say... His Christian credibility is unmatched. These new singers-- 97% just do not have it from their core to be breathing Gods words in to what their bodies are manifesting. Keith did this. I am so thankful to Claudia Thomas (who at the time resided on Calais Rd. in Mendham, NJ who was a 'friend' of my Mom's) she was a Christian like very few I had ever met (this is in April, 1980) She lit a fire in me to be real about my faith. I went to church with her and her family.... Felt a bit odd because it was so charismatic-- Not like the Presbyterian church I was going to-- which too was Christian, I do not fault that church... But for the dynamic nature of faith being expressed through daily life... WOW, the kind of Christianity called for by Keith to be a sincere follower of Christ, Claudia Thomas had it. When I went away to college for my last two years to UNC Charlotte, I met a girl, Laura Johnson. We ended up dating, but she brought me a Keith Green cassette for my car, so I could listen to him (I didn't have a personal anything to play the tape, just my player in my car... We weren't so spoiled like we are today back then)... His music spoke to me like nothing else ever had. Today it is no different. I put on his music and in no time tears. Tears that say, wash yourself and go out in the day and be there for people in your path. Be there to hug, and make people feel His REAL love! So, I do. It's awesome.
We used to listen to Keith Green when we were kids! This song has always spoken to my heart! We need more prophets like him in the sad world!
I listened to Keith's music when I was a new Christian. Nothing better to help me grow in my faith. Still brings me back to the sweet new love in the Lord!
Keith Green has had a great impact on me, especially in my younger Christian life. He was so on fire. 🔥
Thank you for sharing this. Back in 1988 freshman in college, I met the Lord and was inspired by Keith like no other Christian musician. It's been a long road back to the Lord but I'm waking from the dream again. So glad both the Lord and Keith Green are here to welcome me back. Praise you Jesus!
This song came out when i was 17 In 77 im now 62 woooow I was saved in the early 80s .. Dallas Holm was very inspired by the LORD ALSO
I’m so grateful you are back with the Lord…amen!
Keith hit it right on the button!! I was lost in my own intellect until I realized I needed Jesus. He was that missing part my heart needed. I woke up to find Him looking at me with His loving eyes and right through my heart. I was only 18 years old at the time, thirty years ago!! I've never been the same since then. Man's intellect blinds us from understanding God's simple ways. Amen!!!
I grew up in church, got saved young but this song touched my heart when I was 15, and made me weep for joy knowing how much Jesus loved me, after hearing it and many more songs of Keith Green it made me want to read my bible, to know the scripture the songs were based off of. I also subscribed to his newsletter which was like a small magazine, written about the things happen today and how you deal as a christian…..it was NOT churchianity…. It was REAL and Honest and encouraging to me to further seek God and know Him….I am so grateful to Keith Green ministries and their articles….and I can’t wait to hear his new music in heaven one day when we will be with our savior, Jesus worshipping ✨
I saw Keith in concert for the first time in the late 1970s in a gymnasium. We all sat on the floor around the piano as he played, sang, and testified of God's goodness and love for us. His ministry transformed my life. I remember hearing the news of his death and the deep sorrow that came from that announcement. His music still impacts me. It seems like it was yesterday.
Keith Green was such a part of my Faith journey. In my 60’s now and find Zach Williams same effect. Very different sound but eyes on Jesus! Thank you Lord for the blessings of music 🎶
Does anyone agree that regardless of religious orientation this man is an incredible artist and songwriter?
Religious? No bro ….in love with Jesus, you don’t write songs like these without knowing the one who saved you from hell…..when you know God’s love for you, when you know Him deep in your heart…you want others to know because God is everything, loving God and feeling Him love you back is indescribable Keith’s music does though , it’s a taste of what Jesus can be in your life, He is so amazing and He loves you so so much!✨
I’m so blessed to have heard him live when i was 14… i met him and he prayed with me, individually, along with anyone else asking for prayer. I witnessed Jesus that night. So rare in today’s “industrial” Christian performers.
As a songwriter I can say in total confidence this man believes in his efforts and message..... I dig his drive and true focus.... its spiritual gold
This is my all time favorite Keith Green song!!! Praise be to God for taking the curtains from my eyes and helping me see how much I needed a savior!!
Mine too. So beautiful and true
This is from Phil Keaggy's album "Love broke through".
Amen
Like a foolish dreamer trying to build a highway to the sky All my hopes would come tumbling down And I never knew just why Until today, when you pulled away the clouds That hung like curtains on my eyes Well I've been blind all these wasted years And I thought I was so wise But then you took me by surprise Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed Until your LOVE broke through I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me Until your LOVE broke through All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part And with one touch, you just rolled away The stone that held my heart And now I see that the answer was as easy As just asking you in And I am so sure I could never doubt Your gentle touch again It's like the power of the wind Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed Until your LOVE broke through I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me Until your LOVE broke through
Great Taste - I've been listening to Keith since i was 15 yrs old. I'm going to
wow, wow just beautiful,this lyric just touched me so deeperly,because that's what I was, blind, in a world of fantasy, thankyou God 4 such a beautiful talent gift of a man givin 2 me when I most needed
I believe the lyrics are by Randy Stonehill for this song.
Keith had the melody and asked Randy to help him with the words to go with it.
What a wonderful person in Christ!
My theme song of my conversion and 40 years later the Lord has brought me back to it. Thank you for your Faithfulness. Maranatha!!
Perhaps the most intimate, beautiful love song to Jesus in our time.
So true
This is my song. Thanks Jesus. Thanks Keith. Thanks my family.
Still so good, a great reminder - thank you for surrendering to God, Keith. It’s been a great reference through three years so far of how important it is to build my own relationship with Christ. Time is limited on this earth.
We had all of his music on 8 track. Then I got the cassettes. A few years later I bought the CDs. Now I listen to him on Spotify and you tube. Different media, same amazing music.
Was born after Bro. Keith went on to be with the Lord, but I grew up on his songs. Him and Matthew Ward had/have some of the most distinctive voices. "So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt" one of my favorites from Bro. Keith. ❤😊
It's gonna be so great when the family of God is united in eternity singing praises to King Jesus! ❤😭❤
The Passion... love Keith's craftsmanship of looking into the cameras ❤ forever the artist he was!!
One of my favorite Christian songs. The truth of the lyrics resonates with us who have had a similar experience in God's love touching us.
To me Keith was the greatest Christian Music star of all time and he was only 28 when he was taken from us. He was so gifted and talented and we never got to see all of his talent and we were robbed of the future music that he would have made. He is making music in Heaven now
That brother is still a blessing. Just as when I started my walk 44 years ago. I long to see the Lord and the servants that have kept me alive all these years. Come quickly Lord Jesus
What a mighty God we serve. The God of Keith Green lives on. He is the same yesterday today and forever more.
One of the best contemporary christian artists that there ever was. He was as much a preacher as he was a musician :)
Ground breaking realisation of God Power. I was saved by a Christian band who were obedient to the Spiritual calling if God. Grateful they were. Praise God at all times.
Such a timeless song! The Lord continues to speak thru this song. Praise God!
My favourite Keith Green song. Took me a while to properly listen to the lyrics. So so beautiful.
What an accurate depiction of God's love.
AimingForGod so desperately need a revelation of God's love. Deep in my soul. Been praying for this. I know it's possible.
SO GLAD I SEARCHED YOU TUBE FOR ALL OF THE CHRISTIAN MUSIC I ONCE OWNED. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THEM HERE
Used to fall asleep to the sound of my father playing this song by Keith Green on the piano! So comforting and nostalgic!
Saw Keith in LA a month before he was taken home. His music was such a blessing and conviction in my early walk with Jesus. Loved getting Last Days Newsletter in the mail!!
I met this man at a concert he was playing in st.louis mo. Great singer and songwritter. I wept when i heard he died. I will never forget his faith and smile.
this is one of the best songs ever.
Keith green is one of the reasons I want to play the piano. praise the lord!
Jesus Christ is the truth
Richard Neuneker Amen
so why don't those that claim Him live the truth?
MYYYYY GOD.....just hearing his voice..this music...it takes me back to the early 80s when I was going to Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Maryland.
This music and Petra, along with Amy Grant, was EVERYWHERE in my church world back then.
THANK YOU JESUS I will see Keith one sweet day.
I just want to Praise the Lord when I hear Keith songs! Love this song!
My personal testimony in a song! Beautifully written, obviously Holy Spirit inspired! Thank you Jesus for Keith Green! I pray more people will rise up and be bold for you in Jesus Name amen 🙏
The love of Jesus is truly in this man! These songs touched my heart
Keith Green was a great example of a godly man. Don't worry about Christians - they'll always let you down - they're human after all. Set your eyes on Jesus.
How are you doing, my name is Josh Mark i bring you good news.
Keith Green Used his Gift from God! And today the song still moves me!
I was so blessed to be a part of this wonderful era in Christianity. We were unashamedly "Jesus People."
I consider myself an atheist or agnostic, but I love Keith's music. That should say something. I see hope in it.
+Aaron Harford let me share this with you! JC is coming back soon to rule this world for the "Millenium"! This is why there is the modern nation of Isreal today, because when JC comes back He will go to Jerusalem & land back on the Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem(the same place He ascended to heaven 2000 years ago)! 1948--- prophecy fulfillment of Isreal becoming a nation, 1967--- prophecy fulfillment of Isreal regaining control of Jerusalem! Other unfulfilled prophecies, Jerusalem becoming their capital, a third temple being built(all pieces are ready in storage now)! A final holocost against the Jews in which two-thirds die worldwide & in Isreal! The remnant third will come to accept JC as Yeshua/Messiah! something they should have done as a nation 2000 years ago but did not but soon will! That is when He will come back also with His holy angels & resurrected saints (humans that lived & died back to life) However they will be in a higher state, not mortal but immortal in a state of divinity & glorification!!!! (Think about superman/superwoman & what they are able to do) This explains these folk! That dude satan & his cohorts(fallen-angels & demons) will no longer rule this world "god of this world" but now JC is "GOD" of this world, not "god" of this world satan has been for thousands of years! Aaron this is a "blessed hope" (future expectation) of many Christians! The Millenium will be a time of peace/health/prosperity/freedom/opportunity like ever before in human history! BTW people will start living longer & longer lives like once before many thousands of years ago! Women will become more beautiful & men more handsome less aging & a much more graceful aging in later life!!!! Think about these things a Christian has written you & thank you !!!!!!

Love ya bro.
I grew up with Christian music, but have since become agnostic...but still some of the Christian music of my youth, such as Keith's, is soothing somehow. So much talent in him, a tragic death.
you should watch the links I put up. yes I agree we are all ultimately agnostics, but I think the weight of evidence shows us we can take a position, no?@@Werewolf0216
Gone way to soon. He touched my soul in ways no one will ever know. 🙏
❤😊 Keith Green uses talents for the Lord what a blessing 🙏❤
What a voice !! I can picture Keith in my mind singing to the Lord, with a sold out crowd in heaven. Thank you Lord for my brother Keith, and his awesome music.
I grew up listening to Keith’s cassettes on repeat on long summer road trips. I’m still moved by the beautiful writing and meditative, Soul/R&B-inflected delivery, both vocally and on piano. And, of course, his incredible piano playing was a huge influence on me as a young aspiring musician myself. Ultimately, I chose the guitar, but I learned how to use my giftings for the Lord from Keith and other outstanding early CCM artists.
If you haven't watched Keith's story, do so. Yahweh implanted a passion and zeal in him that, we as believers, should exhibit daily. Keith's music encourages me and humbles me and makes me ever so thankful for Yeshua's sacrifice and love for me. I was searching for YEARS with drugs and alcohol. His love truly broke through, I now have a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. Only the love from our Messiah will keep us contempt. Prepare, He is returning.
Keith Green, Randy Stonehill & Phil Keaggy. 3 brothers in the lord who still were at the beginning of the Christian music movement and still inspire us..Thank you lord for bringing these men to us..
I think it was back in 1976 when I would drive with my girlfriend to Keith and Melody’s house for a bible study he had each week in his living room. I can’t remember how I found out about it. That’s how I heard about the Vineyard and eventually the Christian nightclub, The Daisy. Such an amazing time back in my college days. He had such gifts: piano, personality, and testimony.
When I need to prepare for a sermon, there are few ministers who renew my focus on Christ like bro. Keith Green. Though home with the Lord since I was a boy, he still speaks!
Back to it 6 years later, needing to feel His Love break through again. "We love because He first loved us." I John 4:19
I can't believe how much Keith has made a impact on so many, I discovered him a year after he left us. His music was just what I needed to grow and mature very fast for the situation I was in during my early teens. I am yet to meet or see anyone with his passion not just for real CHRISTIAN music (not what the Companies are pushing on us) but for the lost.
A beautiful song ,I am so sorry to hear of the lost of him and his to kids and others that were on the plane, I know it's been years, but my condolences to his Wife and family. I just heard this song on AFR talk ,and when they said the late Keith Green I looked it up. 😢 I'm glad I will meet him I Heaven when that time comes . I had been reborn about 12 yrs now and I could never do anything without the Lord my Savior!!!🙌✝️❣️
This is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard and am so grateful for such a man of God who knew the One he sang to in ministering to thousands of people. Today, 7/20/2020, years later the Lord is still using him to show His Love so powerfully. Thank you so much!
I was named rebekah in 83, my brother Josiah, amd sister bethany...RIP Keith
Thanks to the LORD JESUS CHRIST , I heard or should I say I remember this song at the age of 5 years old in 1980 from my precious mother who taught me about the SON of GOD . And to this day Keith Green still makes me cry when I listen to this song because of JESUS CHRIST . All praise and glory to the MOST HIGH , The NAME Above ALL NAMES , JESUS CHRIST , YESHUA . Thank you Lord Jesus for everyone and everything you put in my LIFE . AMEN!
Still the prophet of song! One word describes Keith Green. Anointed! His music never gets old and is more relevant than ever!
A psalmist and prophetic singer for sure. Highly anointed,and totally souled out. What an inspiration. It was an honor to be introduced to his music in my youth. The lord used it to carry me straight into adulthood
Keith Green was a Man of God, for sure!
Anointed. Faithful. Obedient. I can't wait to meet him in our eternal home.
Yes, Until His love broke through! Praise God!!! Thank You Abba Father & Lord Jesus!!!
This Song just blows me away. One of the most sincere Vocal Performances ever. The Holy Spirit just calls out to you. Amen.
Keith's heart poured out in his music and is still an inspiration to me. Thank you Mr Green for the fantastic lyrics.
Just today, I was driving around, listening to Keith Green. His voice reminded me of a song I heard years ago, but I had trouble remembering the words and I didn't know the name of the song. So I grabbed my phone and tried to Google the few words of the song I could recall. After about five minutes, my search failed to turn up any song. So I gave up for the time being and set my phone down. Literally a few seconds later, this song began playing. When he reached the chorus, I realized it was THE song I had been trying to find. I got teary-eyed. It was God speaking to me through the song. I really needed to hear the words to this song, not because I wanted to remember the song, but because my heart needed to hear Him speak to me. He was singing over me. I can't tell you adequately how wonderful it felt. But, I did briefly feel horrible. Horrible because earlier I had been in a rather bad mood (difficult drivers, to be kind about it). But I didn't believe He had forgiven me. I KNEW He had.
This was the first Keith Green song I ever heard, when I was 20. It seemed like it was describing my own spiritual journey. Over two decades later it still softens my heart to hear
