I repent of ever having recorded one single song, and ever
having performed one concert, if my music, and more
importantly, my life has not provoked you into Godly
jealousy or to sell out more completely to Jesus! — Keith
Green
Keith Green was 15 the first time he ran away from home. He
started a journal that ran for years as he looked for
musical adventure and spiritual truth. Keith had a Jewish
background, but he grew up reading the New Testament. He
called it "an odd combination" that left him open minded,
but deeply unsatisfied. His journey led him to drugs,
eastern mysticism, and free-love.
When Keith was 19 he met a fellow seeker/musician named
Melody. They were married a year later -- but his spiritual
quest continued. Then when he had nearly given up More...
Review about Keith Green Wow. He loved God with all his heart! | Reviewer: Meg
------ About artist/band Keith Green
I have to write a research paper for my composition class on a musician, and when I prayed about it, I believe God lead me to do it on Keith Green. I never really knew anything about him, except from the few songs i heard of his growing up. Wow. I have never cried so much learning about someone. Hearing his songs on youtube have really touched me.. and convicted me a lot too. He has inspired me to be sold out and committed to Jesus. I am amazed by his humbleness in always wanting to give Jesus praise - he did not like people clapping for him, but pointed them back to the one who deserves all the praise!
I look forward to meeting him one day =) i do miss him. May we all seek after God and pursue his dream / call on our life as he did. Amen.
I never met that dear brother,never heard of him and his tragic way of promotion to glory until around 1996, when I heard his music. His lylics made me connect to his love for Jesus, and from that day I desired to have more of his music which was hard finding to come by. My raw love for him came in 2005 when I read his biography and untill then i have always be inspired by his life to love the Lord Jesus More and to be completly submitted to Him. May his Ministy and life continue to inspire more for Christ, May his family be always consolled by God. although he is dead he his alive by his music and minisrty.
I never had the chance to meet Keith Green in person
but i can say I have been blessed as many have by his music and words.My life has been down many of bad roads,but each time it was the music of this great man that drew me back to the Lord JESUS.I do not know the whys or reasons of Keiths death but I can say this.His music and minestries live on in the hearts of the people of GOD.I to await the day I will meet him face to face in Heaven
May GOD Bless his family till we all meet up there

This song goes beyond the mere meaning of INSPIRATION. It gives the inner feeling and desire for Godliness and also shift the focus from our self centredness onto Godliness. I believe the spirit of God has touched Keith
I never met Keith Green but I was introduced to his music in 1980, and performed "When I Hear The Praises Start" for a Keith Fanatic for a concert.
I had a chance to get to see him in 1980 but it was during my college finals and I couldn't go. Little did I know only a short 2 years later Keith would be gone.
I was very saddened by his death and I wrote Last Days Ministry and posted info about Keith On my website and even when Melody had a stroke I posted for donations to help her get funds to pay for all her hospital bills.
Keith was a very spiritual and humble man, a great musician, gospel artist, husband and writer as well as a fine preacher. Keith knew the word and conveyed it well through his music.
I am a singer and pianist and I play Keith's music all the time in an effort to keep his memory alive. I really have to practice hard to play Keith's music as it is very difficult and NOT for the beginner pianist!
I wish I could've seen him live I have his book "NO COMPROMISE" and the memorial concert and his love broke through VHS tapes which I love and I have all of Keith's music in 2 volumes and it is really close to what he plays! as well I have the entire 4 CD set of the MINISTRY YEARS.
I feel that the plane accident could have been avoided and it was "pilot error" why Keith and the smalley family and their 6 kids and Behtany and Josiah all died because the plane was severly overloaded. Well its over now but a little hindsight would have spared everyone on board.
Long live Keith and and wonderful music and I do all I can to keep his memory alive!
I first heard keith Green song in 1989,"When I hear the Praises Start" I was going through alot in my life at that time, severe depression,where I began to feel things on me, and things moving in my room, and hear voices screaming at me and sometimes playing with me, and even banging my head up against the wall for choosing Christ as my Lord and not letting go, my life and everyone that I loved was being threated by this enemy which I thought many times I would never wake up the next day, having to beg God to put me to sleep at night to stop the convultions and resist this evil strength that wanted to give me power over everyone that ever hurted me....I felt helpless, all I knew to do was call Jesus to put me to sleep....
However I did not know how I would hear this song again, in the 90's I heard his music, "Your love broke through," "Lord your Beautiful," and a few others, though I never really knew Keith Green until 2009 while I'm doing a project on my favorite music artist, and I was in for more than a treat, so much I am learning, and have learned about this wonderful man of God.... greatest dream is also to become a very great singer for the Lord and that he forever have his way in my life.

No one ever challenged my faith like Keith Green | Reviewer: Melisa
------ About artist/band Keith Green
I was a very young woman when I heard the tragic news about Keith, his children and the other young family getting killed in the plane crash. I was a huge follower of Last Days Ministry and Keith Green. I was devastated! I had never been as challenged to grow in my faith and give up my life for Christ as I was in following the teachings of that ministry.
The day I heard the news, I called in to work and told my boss I couldn't come in because I was crying so hard. He got so mad the next day when I told him that it wasn't someone I knew personally and I almost lost my job. There were many nights I would wake in the middle of the night and cry out to God for Melody. When she was very pregnant I went to a Memorial concert and she said from the stage, I can't tell you how many nights I laid awake crying and God would send me His comfort. I felt God was having me cry out to Him for her.
I will never forget Keith Green.
Faith Accompanied By Action | Reviewer: K. Crafton
------ About the song To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice performed by Keith Green
my interpretation of the song is somewhat different. When his lyrics speak of "according to what you have done," I believe he is speaking along the lines of scripture (in the book of James in the Bible) where it says in James 2:17: "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead." I don't think anyone wants to have a dead faith! And part of being obedient to God requires us to obey his will for our lives and to do the things which God would have us to do...not just the things that we feel comfortable doing. This is where obedience comes into play. Still, nothing that WE could ever attempt to do means anything unless Christ Jesus is working through us to accomplish God's purposes.

------ About artist/band Keith Green
I knew Keith in the year before his death. I lived in the ranch house with him until we finished the first building... and before Keith & Mel moved across the street. Keith's love for Jesus was as intense as I have ever seen. His firey manner was intense too... but I've never known a person whose committment to our Lord was any stronger than Keith's. I would like to see today, the man God would have crafted if only it would have been His will that he live.
Out of the Darkness | Reviewer: Jeff from Luton
------ About the song Asleep In The Light performed by Keith Green
This is my favourite of Keith's songs. His music and lyrics were a great inspiration to me in my struggle to be free of alcoholism and addiction. In this song Keith provided a powerful reminder that faith without works is well and truly dead. Thank you God for the life and work of this remarkable and gifted man.
This song reminds me of the teaching of Jesus to His disciples who miss the point of humility as wisdom of being a servant of God.. seeking the crown and becoming d highest shud not be our concern as God's servant but as what Kieth Green teaches us, "Our reward shud be giving glory to our God."
About "Rushing Wind" | Reviewer: Keith "fan", nah, "Jesus" fan ;-)
------ About the song Rushing Wind performed by Keith Green
This was the first cut on the 1981 Sparrow title, "The Keith Green Collection." It's a powerful example of Keith's fervent faith, pianistic acumen, and the power of the Lord's Spirit upon Keith's ministry in concert.
The song was recorded live with Keith at the piano. What, no band? For this tune, Keith didn't need one! Forcefully slow but not "dragging", pitched in "C Major", Keith's voice raises (high, of course!) this prayer for the infilling of the Spirit and his own willingness to follow whatever the cost. A classic "Keith" harmonic structure and exquisitely executed scalar runs accompany the tune, which segues into a live version of "You Put This Love in my Heart". Sparrow then cut to the studio version of that tune before the vocal comes in (so, yes, you can get your fill of Bill Maxwell's considerable production abilities as well!)
I had only received the album when my father came to me with the news of Keith's passing ... so the "Collection" quickly became a "collector's item" as we knew there would be no more original albums forthcoming. Fortunately, if you missed that record ;-), you can hear the song on Sparrow's "Keith Green: The Ministry Years", released posthumously in two volumes during 1987-1988.
If any of Keith's family views this, know that we still thank God for Keith's ministry and the LORD is still using Keith's songs for His glory.
'According to what we have done..'
Jesus came so that we might have life, not 'do' life. Once a person is 'in Christ' the 'doing' is all done. We are judged as to our belief and faith, Abraham believed and he was counted as righteous. If ones belief is genuine the fruit of their life will demonstrate it. God loves you all!
This is one of Keith's songs that takes me to a different plane. It sums up creation beautifully and shows all over again how big God is and how small we actually are. But at the same time, how much love he has for us.

------ About the song When I Hear The Praises Start performed by Keith Green
Man, when is some guy gonna just get his piano and do concerts with Keith's music. Keith's voice and songs make Elvis look like an amateur.
Nothing against Elvis, but Keith knew who the real "King" is.
