I became a believer in Christ right around the time Keith died. The song leader at my church really loved his music (which I was unfamiliar with at that time) and played his 20 min long Prodigal Son song. It made quite an impression on me, so I, being a singer and pianist, took and learned almost evereyone of his songs — and now, 30+ years later, am taking that music and am ministering now to prison inmates with it. The music has an anointing to this day — and I am seeing yolks broken every time I play & sing it. What a blessing.

Keith’s song, I Can’t Wait Till We Get Heaven, was a prayer that was truly answered. God gave him the desires of his heart in taking him when He did. I praise God for Keith’s music and the effect it is still having on listeners to this day.

“Trials Turned to Gold”

He’s brought me low
so I could know
the way to reach the heights
to forsake my dreams, my self esteen
and give up all my rights.

He’s brought me here
where things are clear
and trials turned to gold.

This song changed the course of my life.

Never heard of Keith before I heard the song, “Holy, Holy, Holy” sung by him on KSBJ radio in (Humble) Houston, Texas, the summer of 1983. I loved the song because we sang it in church from the time I was little. But I remember being literally awestruck when I heard Keith sing it and thinking to myself: “This is the most beautiful black tenor voice singing the greatest rendition of this hymn I have ever heard.” What? No matter the color God made His glorious rainbow of people – what a gorgeous; anointed voice Keith has!! Anyway, the announcer said “That was the late Keith Green singing…” I was instantly bummed that I’d missed this guy, but went on a quest to find his music, which was out everywhere then. Our first daughter, 9 days old, had passed away in November of ’82. My husband and I became new followers of Jesus that year. Keith’s music has so deeply and richly blessed us from that time until now and ever shall. Much love and prayers on behalf of LDM for their upcoming movie of Keith’s life! Our Heavenly Father will pour out His Spirit on all people, because His Son, Yeshua the Messiah – Jesus is coming back soon.
JOHN 12:24, PHILIPPIANS 4:19 & 20, Joel 2:28
Thank you for your invitation to share a few thoughts about Keith.
Blessings and Shalom!

I love ‘You love the world’, ‘Asleep in the light’, ‘ when I hear the praises start’,’The Lord is my Shepherd’, ‘ Its all because of you’, etc. loving this few I know I will love the rest. His music makes you want to do more for God and to change your own life for Christ

When I first became a Christian, I bought all of Keith Greens music and played it night and day in between reading my Bible. I love the words and music that God gave to this brother, (so strikingly beautiful) Its hard to say which songs are my favorite although I recently heard a song of his I had never heard of “Keep On The Path” I wanted to purchase this song but its not available for purchase anywhere. The lyrics and music are beautiful, and powerful are the verses! Thank you Lord for this Keith’s enduring ministry!

Keith’s “Prodigal Son” suite is one of my favorites. But often during the low points or bad days in my life, I lean on Keith’s music to lift me. I so wish I could have met him, or seen him in concert. It breaks my heart that he is no longer in the physical world to make more inspirational songs.

My first Easter after an encounter with God in Socoro, New Mexico at age 24, I heard The Easter Song and it stirred my soul as no song had. It was about MY Saviour who is now ALIVE!! Some time later I saw interpretive dance so starkly and beautifully portraed! Not just at Easter, but so many times through the year I hear and sing this song. Thankyou for this www and thank the Lord for Keith Green’s words and life, which I have come to appreciate more.

I was 10 years old when I heard Keith Green for the first time. I was introduced to his music by my fourth grade teacher at the time. My favorite song is “Rushing Wind”. Every time I hear it my soul is calmed and I feel the presence of My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I cannot wait to meet my brother in Christ when I get into heaven. He was and still is a wonderful testimony of God’s love and compassion to us all. His legacy lives on and I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to own some of his cd’s. AMEN!
