Keith Green – brandon

Brandon Member Posts: 594 From: Kansas City, Mo, USA Registered: 02-02-2004	Just a little while ago, I've found out about his music and ministry. And I just wanted to say that it's quite incredible. What a man of God he was. I really like "Because of You" and "No One Believes in Me Anymore". "Asleep In the Light" is so touching too, and probably my favorite of them all. Are there anymore Keith Green fans here? God Bless ------------------ ------------------------- Atomic Team Entertainment http://www.atomicteam.com

Here are my favorite songs by him: The Lord is my Shepherd The Prodical Son Suite No One Believes in me Anymore The Sheep and the Goats Oh Lord You're Beautiful When I Hear the Praises Start Easter Song Most of his other songs are kinda... out of tune. But the lyrics are always good. †Caleb† ------------------ "True friendship is not characterized by the absence of conflict, but by the ability to resolve conflict."

True story, thankfully the guy I was giving a lift to grabbed the steering wheel and woke me up! It was my own stupid fault, but the significance of the event put me off Keith Green music for a long time. As I mellowed through the ages though, I have found his music to be incredibly moving and while not my preferred style, it definitely has 'something' about it.
Brandon Member Posts: 594 From: Kansas City, Mo, USA Registered: 02-02-2004	Hey guys, sorry for the extremely late response. imsold4christ: Yeah those are some great selections there. Yeah I agree that some of his songs are out of style (for some folks at least, well most lol) but not me BKewl: Yep you are right, I drive people around here crazy playing Keith Green all day long, but they can't resist the message he had, which is expressed so powerfully and truthfully. Hey I'm not old, only 23 here. AmazingJas: That's quite an experience. I do admit that Keith's music doesn't seem like the type to listen to while in a car, but when it comes to praise and worship or even coding, I can listen to it all day lol. The lyrics are so awesome. That said I've recently acquired a new (well old) Keith Green CD and I have some new favs. How can the live without Jesus The Victor The Prodigal Son Suite No One Believes In Me Anymore Asleep In The Light He'll Take Care Of The Rest Dust To Dust Dear John Letter (To The Devil) Alter Call (Live Version) I'll stop there, although I have many many more... ------------------ Atomic Team Studios "So many laughing at Jesus," "Well the funniest thing that He's done," "Is love this poor stubborn rebellious world," "While the hate for Him just goes on."

Brandon Member Posts: 594 From: Kansas City, Mo, USA Registered: 02-02-2004	Hey there! Alright! An 80's guy! Yeah you can learn a lot about his life and ministry here. http://www.lastdaysministries.com/keith/history.html There are also some nice samples there too! This is where I buy most of his music from. http://www.ChristianBook.com Just to put it here, this is the first Keith Green CD I bought (actualy there are more samples here than on the LDM site.) http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product/1534 93492?item_no=CD1558&netp_id=153823&event=ESRCN&item_code=WW Enjoy! EDIT: I'd encourage everyone to get his music through LDM as it supports the ministry there. ------------------ Atomic Team Studios "So many laughing at Jesus," "Well the funniest thing that He's done," "Is love this poor stubborn rebellious world," "While the hate for Him just goes on."
