The first time I heard this song, I was in 6th grade. I remember being broken hearted with eyes full of tears and wondering how I could make a difference. It played heavily in what later led to my call to ministry.
The other night my Spotify account brought up some golden oldies from the Christian music scene. When I heard this song two nights ago, I had the same response to it that I did as a sixth grader. As a Christian, especially as a pastor, I have to keep my faith from becoming professional and being locked up inside of church walls.
This Video is of Keith Green. He was a strong, prophetic musical voice from the 1970’s. He died at the young age of 28 in a plane crash but made the most of his very short time of living for Christ.
I hope you can get past the very cool 70's hair and beard and hear the message of this song. I truly believe it exudes the heart of Christ for His church and His people!
This is great man! Did you know you were the one who introduced me to Keith Green? You had a cassette that we listened to at Grandma's house... =)
