Keith Green Lyrics

    ------ About the song So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt performed by Keith Green

Back in 1982, I was a second year college student, when I learned that Keith Green had passed away. Thinking I would honor his legacy, I sent a check for $20 to Melanie Green and, in return, she sent me both the album and the printed lyrics to this song.

Now, get this: I can do little or nothing with the album because I've been totally Deaf (as in, never having had a mark on an audiogram or hearing test)since 1971, so I could do nothing, with the album -- I gave it to a friend, who can hear -- but I enjoyed reading those lyrics and I'm overjoyed to see them published here!

    ------ About the song Easter Song performed by Keith Green

For the past several years, on Easter morning, I crank Keith's "Easter Song" up as loud as it will go, and bask in the glory of Jesus' resurrection. It would be Easter, for me, without this tradition.

    ------ About the song Oh Lord, You're Beautiful performed by Keith Green

I have never heared so a soul touching with a real spiritual dept song like Keith Green's o Lord you are beautiful! Keith Green must have lived a holy live to be able to have written such an angelic song.

    ------ About the song Your Love Broke Through performed by Keith Green

First of all thank you rose for sharing this awesome testimony. I find great peace and help while listening to keith green. I grew up listening to this kind of music and have found it to be soothing to my spirit. I never really knew what Keith was saying in this piece, but now having looked up the lyrics I understand and see. I love this man and his ministry. I love the Lord! Wonderful song!

    ------ About the song Grace By Which I Stand performed by Keith Green

I love this song because even in the differences you might have and the differences I have, it is all the same under Jesus. We only have the cross to be prideful about. We have nothing else.

    ------ About the song Your Love Broke Through performed by Keith Green

I just love this song and so all otter songs of My beloved brother Keith. These songs can only be given by heaven. I sleep and wake with it. I can pray when I listen to his music. I can't wait to meet him in heaven one day.

    ------ About the song To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice performed by Keith Green

Yes, we are saved by faith and grace alone. No amount of work can save us from sin. Still through out the New Testaments Jesus and Apostles speak of rewards or punishment according to what we have done. Here are few verses that quote "according to what you have done". There are many other references like the parable of the talents and James as the other commented. Also, the song is actually about the heart and not about works. Obedience is an act of love that God very much desires. He is singing about renewal of the heart so that our life will be that of obedience rather than keeping rules and going through the motions. God wants more than Wednesday night and Sunday services. He wants your life to reflect who He is. That is true WORSHIP.

Matthew 16:27
Romans 2:6
Revelation 20:12

    ------ About the song I Want To Be More Like Jesus performed by Keith Green

For the fifth line of this song, you have:

Well I'm blind to all His needs,

It should be:

Well I'm blind to others' needs,

Got these directly from a book of Keith Green songs published by Hal Leonard.

    ------ About the song The Prodigal Son Suite performed by Keith Green

This will help lead non believers to Christ - big time! In memory of TOM, who of Keith, remarked, Heaven to come is as to on earth living in a garbage can. TOM was a fine friend - so is Keith. Bless Melody and their children.

    ------ About the song There Is A Redeemer performed by Keith Green

Keith was a wonderful singer and writer. His lyrics have put me face down on the ground crying out to God to make me more holy and Christlike. I have a lot of CDs from various groups, but Keith's are my favorites!
