I was at one of his last concerts in 82. I was a teen and loved his music. After he sang one of his popular songs, everyone cheered, like teens do at concerts. Keith got upset, stopped performing and preached the rest of the concert. His message was so powerful and it had such an urgency to it. God really convicted many people that day and it impacted me so much. We still Love his music but always focus on the message, JESUS! He’s coming again, be ready!
I vaguely remember a concert in Dallas in the early 80s, too, but, honestly, I don't remember if it was him LIVE, or after his death, like a film of him singing. I THINK it was a film, but I can't be sure. Either way, I remember his message was "go into all of the world". And looking back, I'm not sure I agree with his overseas invitation, the churches here in America are so far from God. But anyway, I think I had all of his cassettes. :-)
Awesome comment mate, I really think Keith wouldn't have minded being called a "tool" eye, cause that's what he was, I love reading all the comments after his songs, it's so cool to see how many people he reached.
I became a Christian, the month after Keith died. I would've loved to be at one of his concert / services! Consider yourself BLESSED 🙏🏻 to have seen Jesus work through the man.... God Bless you and your family. 🙏🏻
This song is on the tape "No Compromise." I spent hours alone listening to his anointed music when I first became a Spirit-filled Christian before I knew what happened to him back in 1983. Love Keith Green anointed vessel and a great loss to this world.
One of the most inspirational if not the most inspirational true worshipers with a sold out heart to Christ . A man with an evangelistic passion for souls bringing out the true meaning of Christianity !!!!!!
I agree, Michelle. Too much of the world’s trends in our Lord’s music today - no longer a difference between holy and unholy; clean and unclean. Like the apostle John, we need to “do our first work over” again - coming back to our First Love.
they are on the airwaves again; www.moodyradiocleveland.fm has Faith On Record, which is a 3 hour radio show that has Christian music hits from 1970-1999 and they're played from cd and vintage vinyl LP records. the show airs from 9 pm-12 am (EST) 8 pm-11 pm (CST) 7 pm-10 pm (MST) and 6pm-9pm (PST) the site is virus-free, i assure you. and nothing will be tracked there at all
Christ died for our sins! Are you saved in the Lord Jesus Christ? Your good works doesn't pay for your bad works, you need a 'payment' for your sins and that is Jesus Christ. You cannot do it alone, Jesus Christ paid it all for you, the only thing you have to do is 'believe' in what He did for you on the cross of Calvary. Jesus Christ is the only cure for sin, so please believe in what He did, His death, burial and resurrection - found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, saves lost souls when you truly believe from your heart. Ephesians 1:13, saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way. Please get saved now, time is running out!! Eph. 2:8-9 and Titus 3:5
For the longest time after I was born again, there was Keith Green and then there was everyone else. I didn't need to listen to any other music. Now I do, but still...there is Keith Green, and then there's everyone else.
@David Gifford... Amen, I just found him on UA-cam because God wanted me to see a whole new way to worship. Never knew of Keith Green before today. I love this man because he loves my King the way I love Him. Today is 2 days before Good Friday 4/18/19... praise God for this gift🙌🏼
@@dbnoonan8 I'm so very glad you found Keith!! I found him long ago & every single time I listen or read some quote of his. I know immediately God gave those words for me to hear & draw nearer. However, if you never read another book in yr life (besides the Bible of course). Then I encourage to you to purpose in yr heart to read the book about Keith's life called, "No Compromise"! It will, not only Bless yr socks off! It will, if you let it, encourage you to, want to follow our Lord with unbridled passion. To strive to follow our Lord with more zeal & Reckless Abandon than you ever had before! Taking all thoughts captive to follow Christ! Have a Blessed day & keep on keepin' on! 👍
Keith seemed always to be sensitive to his audience, to reach others for Christ, to inspire, to uplift. God had much bigger dreams for Keith than a secular pop career, and it has succeeded very well, as He gifted Keith with a tremendous talent.
Another beautiful 😍♥ tribute...my father passed recently and I realize that in heavenly splendor we shall 🙏 Keith in Heaven playing beautiful music ..praising God..hes right we are not Christians u less we gave suffered and Jesus is Lord of our lives....we go through many tribulations before we can enter into Glory...Amen
I just found out about this man a few days ago.. I was a toddler when he was killed in a plane crash so I've never seen him before. his song "oh Lord you're beautiful" came up on my play list.. . I was moved and speechless.. i couldn't believe that someone had the ability to capture the words of my heart in a song. . . ever since I keep hearing his song in my heart. this man's message and voice belong to God.. I'm learning who this man was here on UA-cam. .. thank u Lord for the true saints who love.. trust and serve you💕
My words exactly, I just heard of him and his music for the first time 3 days ago, I am in tears and in awe at God's love, and the gift He just gave me by leading me to this great artst.
Sadly for us he died in the early 80's. The Christian community was heart broken. He must have completed the work the Lord had for him, for it was his time to go home and be with Jesus Yeshua.
I happened to dial in a couple of 15 year old girls who were STILL excited about Keith Green's ministry and subsequent death.. and this is April 21st 2020 in the middle of the coronavirus scare. That's how powerfully God uses those who are sold out for Jesus.
My wife showed me a song of his a few years ago and I didn't connect. Well, a few weeks ago "Oh Lord You're Beautiful" came on my UA-cam thread. Now, I can't stop listening and crying. We must be as zealous as Keith and we must be connected to our Messiah Yeshua. We must live for Him and Him only.
One of a kind. He had such a huge impact on me as a kid. I saw him perform in St. Louis when I was 14. His songs were so original. Even today, there is nothing like his music. All he needed was a piano to set the gospel on fire in many hearts!
As a very young child my dad would play Keith’s music in the car on the way to church tears would pour down I knew Jesus who would believe a little girl age five bought much healing through Jesus in my life and I have suffered so much but got god has held me all these years run to Jesus our only hope bless you ❤
I never thought I’d say this, but thank God for UA-cam as it brings other generations to Christ through genuine Christ followers like Keith Green. He loved/loves Christ Jesus as his Lord and Savior with such authenticity. You hear it in his amazing music and words, but mostly, you see it in his EYES. Eyes full of the love of Jesus. Thanks, God for giving us Keith. 💓
Who’s watching in 2019?!! This amazing man after God’s own heart is still changing lives, including mine! Bless you Keith Green, I cant wait to meet you when I come home. Yeshua Hamashiach is the King of King’s and I vow to live EVERY DAY for Him. I love you all my brothers and sisters🙏🏼
I have been a born again Christian for over 40 years and to this day I still listen to Keith’s songs. His songs still preach to me. I was just a baby Christian (born again Oct. ‘79) when I first heard about Keith Green and Melody. It was around Jan. of ‘82 when a friend of mine at work introduced me to Keith. He gave me a bunch of articles that Keith had written. They were were very interesting so I asked my neighbor (who planted the seed and was my Christian mentor) about Keith. He told me a lot about him and gave me a cassette with about 20 of Keith’s songs on it. When I listened to his songs they immediately impacted my life as a Christian. I loved every one of his songs so much that I wouldn’t listen to any other Christian music for quite a few years. Then I immediately went out and bought all his cassettes. A few years later after Keith went home to be with The Lord, I bought the 4 CD collection of all his songs and his book, “No Compromise.” They preached and taught me about God’s Word. I would sing and worship Jesus with his songs. Even though I was told by my wife and kids that my voice was very lousy, I knew that God was listening to my heart. Yes, it was a sad day when Keith died but also a happy day because Keith went to be with the Lord. I’m sure that The Lord told him well done my son. As you can see by the many comments that have been made, The Lord still uses Keith’s music to bring lost people to Him. So Keith’s work was finished on earth but his music still plays on. Amen, Amen!! Love you my brothers and sister!!
I am watching in March 2021. I played his music when working part-time in Christian radio. Was his Charleston, WV crusade director. He died a week prior to coming to Charleston I that plane crash. He was a gift from God to us.
This is how Christian ministers need to preach, teach, and sing... by pouring out their heart and delivering their soul. It is wrong thinking to believe that since the world is changing therefore our method must change. I wish more Christians were broken and surrendered to God as Keith was.
Such passion and talent! Keith inspired me when I first became a Christian in 1984. I’m so glad his videos are on UA-cam. Can’t wait to meet Keith in heaven! He still inspires me to love Jesus more every day! ❤️ 💕 💗
I saw Keith in concert in 1980. His concert consisted on only 3 songs. Keith had such an incredibly powerful message on being completely sold out for Jesus. It is hard for me to imagine anyone present being profoundly changed that night. It has been 40 years since then and no one has come close to having the impact that Keith had on me. Powerful message beyond comprehension.
I went to one of his concerts in January of 81 in Battle Ground WA.. He was at one point, on his knees, crying, literally, praying God would wake a room full of belieers out of our lethargy. I can still hear it. AS I watched him, I knew he would not be on this earth much longer. I thought to myself that no one can carry a burden like that for long. There was such a sense of urgency. I never told anyone what I knew. I didn't want to believe it. Tears still come to my eyes sometimes when I hear him sing. I found out a few years after his death that quite a few people sensed it as well. When I read his wife's biography of him, I discovered that she had essentially the same experience.
Wow that's amazing. I've heard of those things before, so I totally believe what your saying. God really blessed us with the short time we had Keith Green, and the fact we can still listen and watch archival footage of him, is such a massive blessing.
I so miss him... - his zeal helped me to grow in the Lord; I was born-again after Keith & Melody..., in 1983. Keith Green's preaching, teaching, & music [Melody's music too] style is one of a kind & the heart of the Lord is on this Ministry! Thank you Melody for continuing to make Keith's material available for fans both old & new! The anointing on his music and messages is just as strong today as it was in the 80's.... Blessings & Shalom-Shalom / P.S. Myke A., thanks for your channel....
An anointed man a prophet. Anointed music and anointed preaching .God took him. Keith was finished. God took him home. May we do our work for Christ and finish too.
Thankyou God for helping Keith find his way to you and your son, Jesus and your Holy Spirit guiding him. I hope anyone watching this will also find out Jesus is the way and to be saved.
That was written by Annie Herring of 2nd Chapter of Acts at age 16. It’s in every single hymnal. Pretty cool for a Christian rock trio. She also did a great cover of “Make My Life A Prayer To You.” 2nd Chapter & Keith Green were compadres in Christ. See “First Love” of the stalwarts of contemporary Jesus rock music. They pay a beautiful tribute to Keith’s legacy. www.amazon.com/dp/B000AS1Q3W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R14bEb4WKMNZH
He doesn't want any of it, unless you give Him the whole thing. That is gonna be my quote for life from this day forth! I'll give my Lord Jesus everything, from emotions to thoughts to deeds!
I’ve never looked into Keith Green’s life until today. I was born in 1987 and this is my genre of music. I appreciate his zeal and complete love for Jesus and I know without a shadow of doubt that God was very pleased with him. May I have the same but a double potion of the spirit that fell on Keith Green and William Branham.
His life impacted my brother & I when we were in High School. I pray the young people of this generation discover His testimony & turn to Jesus as a result! ❤️🩹🙏
Keith Green had tremendous talent---just listen to the piano playing alone and then you add the message------you can not beat it.Thank you Lord God for Keith Green's testimony! It still ministers to my heart all these years later!
We need another someone like Keith Green today, I just wonder what he would say about the state the world is in 2019? Thank you for the message and the music Mr. Keith...✌
Another great artist who is a lot like Keith Green is Steve Camp who is also a veteran in CCM. I met him person when he did a concert way back in October 1998 in New York. He's really a humble a wonderful guy. He and Keith were very close friends and Keith reminded Steve to never compromise the Gospel. I advise you to look up his songs on UA-cam. You will be blessed.
I have been longing for such purity of heart toward the Lord Jesus Christ...I don't know but while listening and reading the comment of that person present in his 1981 concert I am deeply groaning in the spirit now...I have been praying for revival for years now...
Desiree Dominix your heart is pure. When your understanding is opened to see this you will worship Jesus as you never have before. Do not heed the weakness of flesh, for through it the deceiver denies the truth. Look to Christ who set you free from sin through His body crucified on the cross. Listen to the quiet voice of your heart and realize you do not desire sin. How can this be? It is because your heart is pure.
Keith Greens music and ministry have been so influential in my life back in the 80's like no other. His message of the gospel pierced to the heart and edified everyone that listened to his music. Going through trials and tribulations I always had his music to lean on and help me center my focus on Christ and the work he did on the cross!
Me too. Oh how I need you Lord Jesus! How this world needs you..only you. Jesus says come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Come just as you are, our Lord Jesus is The Way The Truth The Way. God bless you. We as children of God are a part of His family! How awesome is our God!
As a young Christian in college, I was really challenged and encouraged by Keith Green's music. I got the chance to see him live at Anaheim Convention Center. I even played his song to my mother about Keith wanting his parents to become a true Christ-follower.
His songs had such deep messages. Oh to live for Jesus, fully surrendered, and not let this world pull us down!!! Make my life a Prayer to you Lord! Thank you Lord for being patient with us feeble human beings. Thanks for loving us as we are!!!
Keith Green is one messenger I feel is timeless. I still listen to his music today. I was born again in 1996 an he was one of the first Christian musicians I heard about. This video was done not long before he was killed in July of 1982.
It’s really sad Keith’s is gone. Really sad he was taken so soon. There was such a spirit of passion and truth in his heart. Very few Christian musicians have this Spirit now. Just not the same feeling anymore. Too much self now. Not enough Jesus!
You nailed it, I don't feel any spirit moving with Christian artists these days either. I was 12 years of age when I discovered Keith and he died 3 years later. Christian radio needs to play his songs again Keith revisited...😊
Have you tried listening to Steve Camp? His songs are truly Christ centered and very scriptural. He was also a very good friend of Keith Green. Keith also advised Steve to never compromise the Gospel, which unfortunately some of today's CCM artists do just to get more publicity. Steve Camp was devastated when Keith Green died in that plane accident.
Always loved Keith's talent and his testimony. Back in college, we were passing around free cassettes and tracts. He was an inspiration then, and still is. His death was a surprise, but who thought that messages would be carried and replayed on people's phones. God works in mysterious ways. Trustin' Jesus.
Seph 10 Thank you for your reply. It brings me joy to think that young people like yourself could be motivated by Keith's ministry, even today. I pray that you know the Lord personally, and seek to be like Him every day. I am working on that as well. I believe we have choices daily to think with humility like Jesus, or to think with pride like the devil. It's God's way, or my way. May God bless your journey.
Seph 10 If you are interested in studying more, on the two minds, on UA-cam Frank Peretti, with a channel entitled, God's way, or my way (for audio), or you can watch one entitled, The Chair. He is very entertaining, and a best selling novelist. God bless.
Keith's ministry impacted me as a teenager in the 80's. He was profound and unapologetic, a true minister of Christ. I love you Keith and thank you for your ministry!
Today I'm completing 8 years since I was baptized... It's also 8 years since I first listened to Keith's music and about his ministry and it's not a coicidence, in that year I was convinced about my sinfullness, Christ's soverign grace, repentance, and how should a real christian look like (motivations, goals, and then works) and Keith has a big part on that... I'm so thankfull for God's work in his life and in the life of his family, this brother of mine showed me Jesus with his life and lyrics and he still does!
I just heard about him last week and I am so amazed how genuine a believer he was and how our mighty God is still using him to reach people. That song so speaks to me. Death has no power to silence the good news of the gospel.
So many great memories from those years. All of the songs, messages from Keith. Our loss was heaven's gain. Can't wait to hear him in heaven playing, singing, worshiping God.
What a great brother in Christ he was. Keith’s music has influenced my life since high school many years ago. His songs also influenced my own songwriting.
I would have to say, if it wasn't for the loving & giving heart of Keith Green, I probably would not have become a believer and remained "the course" even through today. I led my brother to the Lord and he and I have led nearly 25 members of our extended family to Christ. I even have two boys who have become full-time ministers of the Gospel of Christ. (Keith would be proud) I have studied under many significant ministries, leaders, preachers, churches, in several denominations, but, sad to say, I have had to renounce many their influences from my life for many of them have fallen away from Christ Himself and His solid and simple teachings. Keith Green was that prophet that had caused myself and many to be single-focused in my walk with Christ and to seek to be planted in quality soil in order to produce fruit.
I don't think its a 'sin' to say any particular word, it is more whats in your heart that matters... and having an understanding of truth that is not tainted by lies... 'cuss' I think is really slang for 'curse', so if we are damning a situation, or a sentence, or a person...how can that be a good thing...? Like saying, "Man, that is a damn good song" which if you think about it, is really crazy to say...what does that even mean? I believe we can either bless or curse, and there really isn't any inbetween, so if what I say or do, or even think doesn't bless someone, well...that only leaves one option. I think its another way that evil has deceived the world...it's supposedly cool to 'cuss', so in reality that means it is cool to curse.
Jim Pierce -amen! It’s only a sin to take the Lord’s name in vain. Yes, “Oh my God” when not referencing or referring to Him is sadly commonly used in vain in droves - even by supposed followers of Christ Jesus. Even typing OMG is. Say “Oh my goodness” or “Oh my gosh” and type “Omg” or “omg” instead.✅
keith green meant so much to me when growing up. loved his music and still do even though now i mnow that there is no good reason to believe in any christianity or any religious , spiritual stuff . it still brings back nice memories
cjunk351 please ask Jesus to show himself to you. If it is at all possibly true,, you would want to know Him. This question is between you and Him only. Ask humbly and you will experience Him, IF YOU SINCERELY, HUMBLY ASK him to show you the way.
I am praying for you. I believe there are so many reasons to believe that I could start writing and never stop. Of course, there is pain that causes so many to struggle with faith as well, and I totally understand that. There was, without any historical arguments to speak of, a man Jesus who lived and was believed by many to be the Messiah. He claimed to be the only way to God. He either was lying, he was mentally off and believed Himself to be something He was not, or He really is the only way for us to have a relationship with God. If God doesn't exist, there is absolutely nothing more right or more wrong than anything else. Using or hurting someone for our own benefit is equal to sacrificing ourselves for the sake of someone else. The moral argument for God is extremely powerful to me. Hardly anyone can actually believe that there is nothing in the world morally right or wrong. But if there is no Creator, there truly would not be any action more or less right or wrong than anything else. That simply cannot be true. We all know that there is truth and there is evil and there is selflessness. I'm not an expert and I wish I knew more, but there were many witnesses to Jesus's resurrection. There is much evidence that though the Bible was written by many men through many centuries, its themes of God's plan from before the foundation of the world, His holiness, and His love for mankind run throughout 66 books. The more I live, the more I know that this life is passing quickly and this is only a little tiny bit of reality. Jesus's apostles failed Him and ran away when He was arrested and crucified, but at the beginning of the book of Acts, after they saw Him resurrected and understood that this world is worthless compared to Christ, they were filled with so much courage from the Spirit, they thought nothing of their own lives and were almost all martyred. They were not stupid; they were not crazy: They knew there was something so much more than this life and that the message was worth dying for. They went from self-protective attempts to save themselves from the authorities to declaring that they had seen Jesus raised from the dead and that people needed to know Him--no matter what the outcome. The argument for God from creation is powerful to me. Ray Comfort's videos do a good job of showing that creation is so complex that it couldn't have just happened. Our DNA is more complicated than a computer program, but we wouldn't ever believe that a computer programmed itself. The gospel accounts are closely examined in Lee Stroebel's "The Case for Christ," by some very intelligent people. There was a man in that video who looks at court testimony for a living to spot inconsistencies, and he said after studying the accounts he became thoroughly convinced that the testimonies of the witnesses of Jesus were true. Belief and trust can be very challenging, depending on what has happened in our lives. But there are many reasons to believe. Keith Green was inspiring and sincere, but I think the reason we see that is that God's Spirit was active in his life. I have watched recently how Keith came to be a believer and he went through a lot of searching. May God lead you in your search and bless you richly!
keith was one of a king, he was serious, he was funny, he told jokes and he had a great voice. He also seemed very genuine. Some modern singers can take some notes.
Make my life a prayer. Indeed; Lord! That's why I covenant to live in integrity in word, thought, and deed. To do otherwise brings shame to the testimony of Christ. Holiness. He's not your Savior unless He's your Lord.
“Because unless you’ve given Him your whole life, He doesn’t want any of it; unless you give Him the whole thing...” If that last statement isn’t enough to sober your heart, I don’t know what is.
I was at one of his last concerts in 82. I was a teen and loved his music. After he sang one of his popular songs, everyone cheered, like teens do at concerts.

This Man rocks. God bless you Keith✝️
Let's get Keith's songs back on the airwaves again for Christian radio.
Keith Green is on _UA-cam_ and reaching millions of *_non-believers_* so brother/sister *Parsons* is not that much better.
God bless you forever.

The way he communicates, Keith appeared to have been years ahead of his time.
Christian Rios yeap
Christian Rios well this was Keith’s special gift from God, we all have a gift that we need to use to give glory to God.
Or because he was fully submitted to Jesus ..
simply FILLED to the brim with the Holy Spirit
👣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👣
nothing better than knowing Jesus is God...
David Beaty amen!
David Beaty Amen! Nothing better.
Amen And Amen
YES
Yes, there is. It's knowing Him as my Lord, and even my friend.
It's hard to give Him everything
Keith seemed always to be sensitive to his audience, to reach others for Christ, to inspire, to uplift. God had much bigger dreams for Keith than a secular pop career, and it has succeeded very well, as He gifted Keith with a tremendous talent.
'It's so hard to see when my eyes are on me'
Nails it there. Classic, authentic, thank you for posting
Jim McManus: "walking into a church doesn't make you a Christian any more than walking into McDonalds makes you a hamburger." Keith Green. 😜
@@silvermanewesleyjohn2844 tha
The amount of love Keith had for his Lord Jesus as is reflected in all his songs challenges me to love Jesus more.
Amen!
what a gift from God he still is.
Michelle Sinette only two comments. sad, isn't it?
Antonio Pall true but God is good to have let him to loaned to us for the the he was.
Another beautiful 😍♥ tribute...my father passed recently and I realize that in heavenly splendor we shall 🙏 Keith in Heaven playing beautiful music ..praising God..hes right we are not Christians u less we gave suffered and Jesus is Lord of our lives....we go through many tribulations before we can enter into Glory...Amen
I just found out about this man a few days ago..
I was a toddler when he was killed in a plane crash so I've never seen him before.
his song "oh Lord you're beautiful" came up on my play list.. . I was moved and speechless..
i couldn't believe that someone had the ability to capture the words of my heart in a song. . .
ever since I keep hearing his song in my heart.
this man's message and voice belong to God..
I'm learning who this man was here on UA-cam. ..
thank u Lord for the true saints who love.. trust and serve you💕
My words exactly, I just heard of him and his music for the first time 3 days ago, I am in tears and in awe at God's love, and the gift He just gave me by leading me to this great artst.
Sadly for us he died in the early 80's. The Christian community was heart broken. He must have completed the work the Lord had for him, for it was his time to go home and be with Jesus Yeshua.
I happened to dial in a couple of 15 year old girls who were STILL excited about Keith Green's ministry and subsequent death.. and this is April 21st 2020 in the middle of the coronavirus scare. That's how powerfully God uses those who are sold out for Jesus.
My wife showed me a song of his a few years ago and I didn't connect.
Well, a few weeks ago "Oh Lord You're Beautiful" came on my UA-cam thread. Now, I can't stop listening and crying. We must be as zealous as Keith and we must be connected to our Messiah Yeshua. We must live for Him and Him only.
He was and is amazing!
July 28, 1982. 40 years ago. Heaven acquired a wonderful piano player and incredible singer.
One of a kind. He had such a huge impact on me as a kid. I saw him perform in St. Louis when I was 14. His songs were so original. Even today, there is nothing like his music. All he needed was a piano to set the gospel on fire in many hearts!
As a very young child my dad would play Keith’s music in the car on the way to church tears would pour down I knew Jesus who would believe a little girl age five bought much healing through Jesus in my life and I have suffered so much but got god has held me all these years run to Jesus our only hope bless you ❤
I never thought I’d say this, but thank God for UA-cam as it brings other generations to Christ through genuine Christ followers like Keith Green. He loved/loves Christ Jesus as his Lord and Savior with such authenticity. You hear it in his amazing music and words, but mostly, you see it in his EYES. Eyes full of the love of Jesus. Thanks, God for giving us Keith. 💓
Amen.
Jesus is no hypocrite. Amen
Who’s watching in 2019?!! This amazing man after God’s own heart is still changing lives, including mine! Bless you Keith Green, I cant wait to meet you when I come home. Yeshua Hamashiach is the King of King’s and I vow to live EVERY DAY for Him. I love you all my brothers and sisters🙏🏼
I'm watching I was 12 when I started listening to him
dbnoon8 Me, too!
I have been a born again Christian for over 40 years and to this day I still listen to Keith’s songs. His songs still preach to me. I was just a baby Christian (born again Oct. ‘79) when I first heard about Keith Green and Melody. It was around Jan. of ‘82 when a friend of mine at work introduced me to Keith. He gave me a bunch of articles that Keith had written. They were were very interesting so I asked my neighbor (who planted the seed and was my Christian mentor) about Keith. He told me a lot about him and gave me a cassette with about 20 of Keith’s songs on it. When I listened to his songs they immediately impacted my life as a Christian. I loved every one of his songs so much that I wouldn’t listen to any other Christian music for quite a few years. Then I immediately went out and bought all his cassettes. A few years later after Keith went home to be with The Lord, I bought the 4 CD collection of all his songs and his book, “No Compromise.” They preached and taught me about God’s Word. I would sing and worship Jesus with his songs. Even though I was told by my wife and kids that my voice was very lousy, I knew that God was listening to my heart. Yes, it was a sad day when Keith died but also a happy day because Keith went to be with the Lord. I’m sure that The Lord told him well done my son. As you can see by the many comments that have been made, The Lord still uses Keith’s music to bring lost people to Him. So Keith’s work was finished on earth but his music still plays on. Amen, Amen!! Love you my brothers and sister!!
I am watching in March 2021. I played his music when working part-time in Christian radio. Was his Charleston, WV crusade director. He died a week prior to coming to Charleston I that plane crash. He was a gift from God to us.
I'm watching it now...24.04.2021. What a beautiful blessing to God and from God.
This is how Christian ministers need to preach, teach, and sing... by pouring out their heart and delivering their soul. It is wrong thinking to believe that since the world is changing therefore our method must change. I wish more Christians were broken and surrendered to God as Keith was.
Marco S. Some of us are. My Church is very much striving to be like this. But we are not perfect. We are all a work in progress.

Amen!
Such passion and talent! Keith inspired me when I first became a Christian in 1984. I’m so glad his videos are on UA-cam. Can’t wait to meet Keith in heaven! He still inspires me to love Jesus more every day! ❤️ 💕 💗
I saw Keith in concert in 1980. His concert consisted on only 3 songs. Keith had such an incredibly powerful message on being completely sold out for Jesus. It is hard for me to imagine anyone present being profoundly changed that night. It has been 40 years since then and no one has come close to having the impact that Keith had on me. Powerful message beyond comprehension.
I went to one of his concerts in January of 81 in Battle Ground WA.. He was at one point, on his knees, crying, literally, praying God would wake a room full of belieers out of our lethargy. I can still hear it. AS I watched him, I knew he would not be on this earth much longer. I thought to myself that no one can carry a burden like that for long. There was such a sense of urgency. I never told anyone what I knew. I didn't want to believe it. Tears still come to my eyes sometimes when I hear him sing. I found out a few years after his death that quite a few people sensed it as well. When I read his wife's biography of him, I discovered that she had essentially the same experience.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😭
Wow that's amazing. I've heard of those things before, so I totally believe what your saying. God really blessed us with the short time we had Keith Green, and the fact we can still listen and watch archival footage of him, is such a massive blessing.
You're very fortunate!
I wasnt born yet, but live near battleground
♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥😔😔🙏🏽🙌🏽
I so miss him... - his zeal helped me to grow in the Lord; I was born-again after Keith & Melody..., in 1983. Keith Green's preaching, teaching, & music [Melody's music too] style is one of a kind & the heart of the Lord is on this Ministry! Thank you Melody for continuing to make Keith's material available for fans both old & new! The anointing on his music and messages is just as strong today as it was in the 80's.... Blessings & Shalom-Shalom / P.S. Myke A., thanks for your channel....
An anointed man a prophet. Anointed music and anointed preaching
.God took him. Keith was finished. God took him home. May we do our work for Christ and finish too.
Thankyou God for helping Keith find his way to you and your son, Jesus and your Holy Spirit guiding him. I hope anyone watching this will also find out Jesus is the way and to be saved.
His music is such a blessing. My favorite of Keith Green is “The Easter Song”
That was written by Annie Herring of 2nd Chapter of Acts at age 16. It’s in every single hymnal. Pretty cool for a Christian rock trio. She also did a great cover of “Make My Life A Prayer To You.” 2nd Chapter & Keith Green were compadres in Christ. See “First Love” of the stalwarts of contemporary Jesus rock music. They pay a beautiful tribute to Keith’s legacy.

Keith Green only christian music i felt convicted listening to
He doesn't want any of it, unless you give Him the whole thing.
That is gonna be my quote for life from this day forth! I'll give my Lord Jesus everything, from emotions to thoughts to deeds!
Amen
Amen.
His music and message is timeless. Love this so much he showed us how to love and serve the Lord.
One of my Keith Green favorites. So powerful! Continue resting in the arms of God till we meet again.
I’ve never looked into Keith Green’s life until today. I was born in 1987 and this is my genre of music. I appreciate his zeal and complete love for Jesus and I know without a shadow of doubt that God was very pleased with him. May I have the same but a double potion of the spirit that fell on Keith Green and William Branham.
His life impacted my brother & I when we were in High School. I pray the young people of this generation discover His testimony & turn to Jesus as a result! ❤️🩹🙏
Keith Green had tremendous talent---just listen to the piano playing alone and then you add the message------you can not beat it.Thank you Lord God for Keith Green's testimony! It still ministers to my heart all these years later!
We need another someone like Keith Green today, I just wonder what he would say about the state the world is in 2019? Thank you for the message and the music Mr. Keith...✌
Jason Gray is as close as you’ll get. Amazing. Casting Crowns, another.
Another great artist who is a lot like Keith Green is Steve Camp who is also a veteran in CCM. I met him person when he did a concert way back in October 1998 in New York. He's really a humble a wonderful guy. He and Keith were very close friends and Keith reminded Steve to never compromise the Gospel. I advise you to look up his songs on UA-cam. You will be blessed.
I have been longing for such purity of heart toward the Lord Jesus Christ...I don't know but while listening and reading the comment of that person present in his 1981 concert I am deeply groaning in the spirit now...I have been praying for revival for years now...
Desiree Dominix your heart is pure. When your understanding is opened to see this you will worship Jesus as you never have before. Do not heed the weakness of flesh, for through it the deceiver denies the truth. Look to Christ who set you free from sin through His body crucified on the cross. Listen to the quiet voice of your heart and realize you do not desire sin. How can this be? It is because your heart is pure.
Amen!!!
Keep praying and believing sister- we're almost here.
Keith Greens music and ministry have been so influential in my life back in the 80's like no other. His message of the gospel pierced to the heart and edified everyone that listened to his music. Going through trials and tribulations I always had his music to lean on and help me center my focus on Christ and the work he did on the cross!
I was going to pass on. I ended up crying. This is just what i needed.
Me too. Oh how I need you Lord Jesus! How this world needs you..only you. Jesus says come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Come just as you are, our Lord Jesus is The Way The Truth The Way. God bless you. We as children of God are a part of His family! How awesome is our God!
As a young Christian in college, I was really challenged and encouraged by Keith Green's music. I got the chance to see him live at Anaheim Convention Center. I even played his song to my mother about Keith wanting his parents to become a true Christ-follower.
Mark Peter - I pray your parents know/knew Christ Jesus.🙏🏼
Thank you God for this wonderful and godly man! He loved You and he worshipped You with his music. And now he is in glory with You :)
Got to love this guy!
Your songs, Keith, carried me through many difficult years. Thank you.
His anointing still shines through almost 40 years later. His life in Christ was too short but very effective.
Keith, you literally shaped my life. I still believe because of people like you
His songs had such deep messages. Oh to live for Jesus, fully surrendered, and not let this world pull us down!!! Make my life a Prayer to you Lord! Thank you Lord for being patient with us feeble human beings. Thanks for loving us as we are!!!
Keith Green is one messenger I feel is timeless. I still listen to his music today. I was born again in 1996 an he was one of the first Christian musicians I heard about. This video was done not long before he was killed in July of 1982.
What a beautiful VESSEL....
Sandra Myers SPIRIT
It’s really sad Keith’s is gone. Really sad he was taken so soon. There was such a spirit of passion and truth in his heart. Very few Christian musicians have this Spirit now. Just not the same feeling anymore. Too much self now. Not enough Jesus!
You nailed it, I don't feel any spirit moving with Christian artists these days either. I was 12 years of age when I discovered Keith and he died 3 years later. Christian radio needs to play his songs again Keith revisited...😊
Have you tried listening to Steve Camp? His songs are truly Christ centered and very scriptural. He was also a very good friend of Keith Green. Keith also advised Steve to never compromise the Gospel, which unfortunately some of today's CCM artists do just to get more publicity. Steve Camp was devastated when Keith Green died in that plane accident.
One of the most profound 20th century men of God in America-
Anointed man of God such an inspiration, thank you for sharing this👍👍👍👍
I love this song so much!!! ❤❤❤❤
So pure. So beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Long time love for Keith and Melody and their daughters
I remember reading the "No Compromise" book about Keith in the 90s. Such a talented guy.
He was the best, praise the Lord for him 🙏 thank you Keith
such beautiful worshipful music........ Keith left us far too soon....
This the best amazing song i ever heard wow so anoited this Is talent from God thank you Keith Green .....
Always loved Keith's talent and his testimony. Back in college, we were passing around free cassettes and tracts. He was an inspiration then, and still is. His death was a surprise, but who thought that messages would be carried and replayed on people's phones. God works in mysterious ways. Trustin' Jesus.
Seph 10 Thank you for your reply. It brings me joy to think that young people like yourself could be motivated by Keith's ministry, even today. I pray that you know the Lord personally, and seek to be like Him every day. I am working on that as well. I believe we have choices daily to think with humility like Jesus, or to think with pride like the devil. It's God's way, or my way. May God bless your journey.
Seph 10 If you are interested in studying more, on the two minds, on UA-cam Frank Peretti, with a channel entitled, God's way, or my way (for audio), or you can watch one entitled, The Chair. He is very entertaining, and a best selling novelist. God bless.
Keith's ministry impacted me as a teenager in the 80's. He was profound and unapologetic, a true minister of Christ. I love you Keith and thank you for your ministry!
Thank you, Keith, for the profound impact you had on me as a young Christian. I so look fwd to meeting, and thanking you, in glory.
Today I'm completing 8 years since I was baptized... It's also 8 years since I first listened to Keith's music and about his ministry and it's not a coicidence, in that year I was
convinced about my sinfullness, Christ's soverign grace, repentance, and how should a real christian look like (motivations, goals, and then works) and Keith has a big part on that... I'm so thankfull for God's work in his life and in the life of his family, this brother of mine showed me Jesus with his life and lyrics and he still does!
Keith Green was a shining example.
He still brings tears to my eyes- and his music has been with me since 1980. God bless Keith Green.
I saw the Love of Christ through Keith’s music in 1982. It solidified my understanding of that love for a wretched man as myself.
His message and God's is in his song, the words, and the voice but especially the voice.
Keith Green has made a tremendous impact in my life
Thank you Lord for the message and Song that was truly elevating.
Thanks Jesus for giving us Keith.
We need a Keith Green today.
Awesome man
God, make our lives a prayer to you!
Did y’all just see that solo? Bananas. This dude was the real deal on so many levels.
I just heard about him last week and I am so amazed how genuine a believer he was and how our mighty God is still using him to reach people. That song so speaks to me. Death has no power to silence the good news of the gospel.
Nice lyric..vry true
Keith Green, my all time favourite Christian artist. Such a brilliant pianist and composer
So many great memories from those years. All of the songs, messages from Keith. Our loss was heaven's gain. Can't wait to hear him in heaven playing, singing, worshiping God.
Thank you Jesus!!
JESUS IS GOD!!!!!!
What a great brother in Christ he was. Keith’s music has influenced my life since high school many years ago. His songs also influenced my own songwriting.
I would have to say, if it wasn't for the loving & giving heart of Keith Green, I probably would not have become a believer and remained "the course" even through today. I led my brother to the Lord and he and I have led nearly 25 members of our extended family to Christ. I even have two boys who have become full-time ministers of the Gospel of Christ. (Keith would be proud)
I have studied under many significant ministries, leaders, preachers, churches, in several denominations, but, sad to say, I have had to renounce many their influences from my life for many of them have fallen away from Christ Himself and His solid and simple teachings.
Keith Green was that prophet that had caused myself and many to be single-focused in my walk with Christ and to seek to be planted in quality soil in order to produce fruit.
Beautiful voice.
Now, that's ministry. I was just dropped back to 35 years ago or so with that.
Damn so very moving. Just so beautiful.
Warren Alexander stop putting cuss words you know wht cause it's a sin
I don't think its a 'sin' to say any particular word, it is more whats in your heart that matters... and having an understanding of truth that is not tainted by lies...
'cuss' I think is really slang for 'curse', so if we are damning a situation, or a sentence, or a person...how can that be a good thing...?
Like saying, "Man, that is a damn good song" which if you think about it, is really crazy to say...what does that even mean?
I believe we can either bless or curse, and there really isn't any inbetween, so if what I say or do, or even think doesn't bless someone, well...that only leaves one option.
I think its another way that evil has deceived the world...it's supposedly cool to 'cuss', so in reality that means it is cool to curse.
Jim Pierce -amen! It’s only a sin to take the Lord’s name in vain. Yes, “Oh my God” when not referencing or referring to Him is sadly commonly used in vain in droves - even by supposed followers of Christ Jesus. Even typing OMG is. Say “Oh my goodness” or “Oh my gosh” and type “Omg” or “omg” instead.✅
I listen to the music of Keith Green as well as to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. And the music of Keith is as good as the music of Bach !
keith green meant so much to me when growing up. loved his music and still do even though now i mnow that there is no good reason to believe in any christianity or any religious , spiritual stuff . it still brings back nice memories
cjunk351 Curious why you don't see a reason to believe in Jesus anymore.
JNugent74 hi ... the only way to answer this is to say I don’t see any good reason to believe
cjunk351 please ask Jesus to show himself to you. If it is at all possibly true,, you would want to know Him. This question is between you and Him only. Ask humbly and you will experience Him, IF YOU SINCERELY, HUMBLY ASK him to show you the way.
I am praying for you. I believe there are so many reasons to believe that I could start writing and never stop. Of course, there is pain that causes so many to struggle with faith as well, and I totally understand that. There was, without any historical arguments to speak of, a man Jesus who lived and was believed by many to be the Messiah. He claimed to be the only way to God. He either was lying, he was mentally off and believed Himself to be something He was not, or He really is the only way for us to have a relationship with God. If God doesn't exist, there is absolutely nothing more right or more wrong than anything else. Using or hurting someone for our own benefit is equal to sacrificing ourselves for the sake of someone else. The moral argument for God is extremely powerful to me. Hardly anyone can actually believe that there is nothing in the world morally right or wrong. But if there is no Creator, there truly would not be any action more or less right or wrong than anything else. That simply cannot be true. We all know that there is truth and there is evil and there is selflessness. I'm not an expert and I wish I knew more, but there were many witnesses to Jesus's resurrection. There is much evidence that though the Bible was written by many men through many centuries, its themes of God's plan from before the foundation of the world, His holiness, and His love for mankind run throughout 66 books. The more I live, the more I know that this life is passing quickly and this is only a little tiny bit of reality. Jesus's apostles failed Him and ran away when He was arrested and crucified, but at the beginning of the book of Acts, after they saw Him resurrected and understood that this world is worthless compared to Christ, they were filled with so much courage from the Spirit, they thought nothing of their own lives and were almost all martyred. They were not stupid; they were not crazy: They knew there was something so much more than this life and that the message was worth dying for. They went from self-protective attempts to save themselves from the authorities to declaring that they had seen Jesus raised from the dead and that people needed to know Him--no matter what the outcome. The argument for God from creation is powerful to me. Ray Comfort's videos do a good job of showing that creation is so complex that it couldn't have just happened. Our DNA is more complicated than a computer program, but we wouldn't ever believe that a computer programmed itself. The gospel accounts are closely examined in Lee Stroebel's "The Case for Christ," by some very intelligent people. There was a man in that video who looks at court testimony for a living to spot inconsistencies, and he said after studying the accounts he became thoroughly convinced that the testimonies of the witnesses of Jesus were true. Belief and trust can be very challenging, depending on what has happened in our lives. But there are many reasons to believe. Keith Green was inspiring and sincere, but I think the reason we see that is that God's Spirit was active in his life. I have watched recently how Keith came to be a believer and he went through a lot of searching. May God lead you in your search and bless you richly!
Sad that you can listen to and enjoy Keith's music and still not see a reason to believe..😥
Amen! We lost him too soon, but praise God Keith’s voice and testimony go on!
This made me cry! Thank you Father for the time we had with our brother.
Great man and I miss him
keith was one of a king, he was serious, he was funny, he told jokes and he had a great voice. He also seemed very genuine. Some modern singers can take some notes.
Make my life a prayer. Indeed; Lord! That's why I covenant to live in integrity in word, thought, and deed. To do otherwise brings shame to the testimony of Christ. Holiness. He's not your Savior unless He's your Lord.
Tanya Dixon
Amen and Amen 🙏🏻✝️💟✨✨✨☝️😊
Thanks for your music. Beautiful. Anointed by God .
God Blessed Keith Green in his life and in his death...
I thank God for this brother and how Jesus used Him in so many lives. Melody too. Love them so much
NEVER ASHAMED OF JESUS aka YESHUA! YESHUA SINGS THRU KEITH GREEN STILL... AMEN! SHINE THE LIGHT!
“Because unless you’ve given Him your whole life, He doesn’t want any of it; unless you give Him the whole thing...”
If that last statement isn’t enough to sober your heart, I don’t know what is.
This was 1982, must’ve been merely weeks before his passing. What a beautiful song.
I remember when he died I was about 8 years old. My mom was so sad.
Amen! I believe as Elijah went to heaven in a chariot of fire , the Lord decided to bring Keith and those with him to be with Jesus in a Cessna 414.
