  • Was this a song that Keith wrote to his parents?

  • When I started listening and reading the biography of Keith Green his music does influence my childhood. Since I was growing up I never stop listening to every music in my heart. It does changed. It was during the time Before I had christ in my heart and it never changes

  • i love this song....

  • We miss you, Keith, but we'll see you again.

  • Keith Green's music is nothing short of sanctified genius. I haven't heard Any other artist put it down like he does. I mean REALLY!! True ministry!!! Praise the Lord for such boldness!

  • Te reason i know his faith was pure is solely this. HIs musical talent surpasses most mainstream "secular" artists he could of made it big mainstream but he rolled with what he believed in.... got to respect that.

  • the 10 people who disliked this probably thought:

    dis i like! :)

  • OK, here's Keith Green taking Bible parables and putting it to his own life...His parents were jewish! And couldn't accept their Messiah! And it broke his heart.... I know of a few people personally who have the same cry...But Jesus cried for his whole nation, Luke 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,but you were not willing

  • the main thing i see keith doing is pointing to jesus no man and we should seek him

  • I always play this to all my friends on facebook and twitter etc...

    @RuthieAppleby

  • what stop sruffing religion down our throats yes i do belive in christ right no need to push it

  • This is amazing....I hope anyone who comes across this video really truly holds it to their hearts, and spreads it to those who are lost amongst their tribulations.....Praise Christ

  • this is such a special song Keith wrote for his parents. I remember when I finally sat down and opened my Bible and started reading in the book of John (i had to escape all the distractions)...and then I couldn't stop reading....friends may the Lord also lead you and guide you in your journey.

  • Praise God my I'll see there my parents! I don't know why I just hear and hear this song =)P

  • Yeah, and as far as wiki is concerned Keith had a Jewish and Christian Science religious background - might not be saying the truth but it seems to have the evidence. God bless, enjoy the songs, enjoy the music, enjoy God's love. "I'll see you there."

  • @runebunny999 I Cor. 1-3 is NOT wrong and it is not talking about any denominations. Denominations are man made. Not created by God bcz it causes separation within the church. The church is not a building with 4 walls, it is a body of believers who have accpeted that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God who came to earth in the form of flesh to take on the sins of the world and died for us all paying the ultimate price for mans sins of which none of us could or would have paid.

  • Fimainc, you really didn't understand what I was saying Cor. 1-3 isn't wrong as you pointed out, It is talking about denominations as the author was saying it doesn't matter who entered you to the kingdom of heaven, as you are all disciples of Jesus. I agree with you, in everything you said except telling me to get a better understanding of the bible and the church already being Christ's Bride as the church is not yet complete.

  • I was simply saying two things;

    1, to the peopole who have been posting earlier on this post, that we are all of one church and one body, and as our bodies have many parts so the Churches bodies have many denominations, and in those individual local churches, and in those invidual people, each one as useful and important as another with different functions to play - so to those concerned, stop calling each other names or saying some (of certain denominations) will go to hell.

  • 2, I don't know that much about Keith Green's life - all I did was go on wiki to see (if wiki's result is correct) what type of background he had, and give a honest non-bias outside the box view on his heritage by summing up the sides.

  • @runebunny999 When you reaed the bible you will get a better understanding of what i am sayinng. The church is already the Bride of Christ. God uses His people to testify of His Son, Jesus, of what He has done 4 us. Please read and study the bible and you will find what Keith Green was searching for during the younger part of his life.

  • It is a brilliant song, truly amazing like all Keith Green songs; I am worried slightly by first of all the talk on Christian denomonations, I mostly agree with Conail23 except that The Church is God's machine to help save the lost - we will be Christ's Bride!

    But the idea that one denomination of the church is wrong and one is right. Read 1 Corinthians 1-3, that view is wrong, there is only Jesus' Church, made of every true believer including the jews before Jesus - who love the Lord.

  • Keith had Christian Science religious background, not jewish

  • Nice song. Good parents sacrificed for us. Are we nice to our parent? as shown in the slide film I made.

  • Exactly what is this song about? It's good...but I don't understand.

  • Very simply, Keith Greens' parents are Jewish and upon his conversion they literally had a funeral for Keith, saying he was dead to them. Now that he is a Christian, he wrote this song to witness to them. A powerful song.

  • I am a Messianic JEW...I have sang the same song for my parents, family and the Jewish people...Thank YOU

  • so many ppl on this thread seem concerned about being members of the R. Catholic Church. Christianity comes from the BIBLE not an organization. Jesus said HE is the only way to the Father, not a church, priest, statue or religion. Turn from yur sins & yur own righteousness and trust in Christ-He died and rose again so we could be forgiven & have eternal life through Him.

  • Keith Green is the best! He was a Jewish man who came to His Messiah Yeshua. The first time I saw him was on the 700 Club around 1979. I went out and bought his cassette (LOL) no CD's then.

    I loved his music. He played the piano and wrote all His songs and he was on fire for the Lord. Unfortunately, He was killed in a plane crash with a couple of his children at a very young age. He went home with His Lord but left his wonderful, uplifting music here for the body of Christ our Lord..

  • @sassyblue8 I had his LP album, with his big hair & blues eyes staring out in love .... played it over & over again, I lived in Hawaii.... North Shore Christian Fellowship, with pastor Bill Stonebreaker.... played alot of his worship songs..."message songs".....

  • Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Only One Savior and there's no other way to heaven. He is the only mediator between men and God.There's no other name, no one but the name of JESUS !!! Glory to the Lamb of God !

  • @DJPantanal2014, technically we're all the sons and daughters of God.

    

  • @DJPantanal2014 ignorant fool

  • @Cope2KDS May God touch your heart and show His glory to you !

  • He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

    ...and some people just refuse to get it...

  • There are some saved catholics but most are lost and decieved into believing that a relationship with the catholic church is the same as one with the Father thru the Son Jesus. Its not the same but they dont know it cuz the church has them hoodwinked. The catholic church is a surrogate Christ, an imposter and steals Gods glory. It is the biggest manipulater in the world! I hate to say this but its true, Hell will be full of catholics (some protestants too)

  • True, true, true. If they Truth they would find it.

  • I am a Very Traditional Bible Bevieving-

    Roman Catholic,This Church Brought Me 2 Jesus Christ,It Is True look at Church History.I am a Comtempative Prayer Warrior.We Have all the Books in the Holy Bible the True Sacred Scriptures,I Pratice Franciscan Spirituality.What religion are U?Do U go 2 Church if so which 1.Stop Bashing Bible Believing Roman Catholic Christians

  • Come and hear about the blood. Human male with human mother but not a human father. Hit the link come and hear.

    Keith loved JESUS.

  • huh?

  • Hit my link and come and hear.

  • Sooo beautiful and touching song. Thanks Lord for sending your Spirit to prepare us to the big day when we will see Jesus face to face.

  • roman catholic religion is a destructive religion , it preaches to pray to the virgin mary , this is false ....

  • when i was a little boy , my mother would listen to kieth all the time, now that i am grown up i see what she meant and i realize that what she was doing is planting a seed in me .now i preach to all my little nieces and nephews and little kids,...they all love jesus and god.

  • SO AWESOME

    Keith green rocks, I don't care is he is old school. He is so scincere in his music. Not just empty praise songs. This is the real deal! I am only 15 and will play this for my little kids

  • i believe in god and jesus and the word of god, what the bible tells me is what i believe. i will stand in front of a court and be sentenced to death for believing this but noone will ever make me believe other wise.athiest and catholic people and sinners need jesus more that i do.

  • Everyone is fallen. There is no such thing as someone who needs Jesus "less than" anyone else. Even after being saved, you should be dead to yourself and then alive in Christ, so how can you need Jesus any less when He is the reason you live?

  • catholics people drink monday thru friday get drunk, and then go to church on sunday and pray to saints, and fathers hidden behind a curtain, ,,,hypocrites. god says it in his commandments, thou shalt have no other gods before me. this means thou shalt not have no other ,anyone before me , how can anyone compare christians to catholics.....

  • Thank you for the words

  • Thank you for the words

  • I love all Keith's music.His work led me closer to the Lord.

  • Definitely one of the best songs ever written. Keith was such an anointed musician and pastor. Thanks for posting his music.

  • to wibblemcwibble

    you sad sad creature

  • This so is so wonderful but I am worried about my parents so it upsets me. I do not know what to do and they are in their mid seventies. I kinda hope the Catholics are right and we get in due to our good works but that is just a hope it does not seem to be true and it upsets me. Any ideas.

  • Not because of good works, but I know many, many catholics that are true christians, and live it better than some in the church who know better. Matt 23.

  • You are right Maureenbopp! we turn to focus much on church group than the conditions of our hearts! it is so sad!There are many who belong to the so-called churches who know better but our hearts are so dark...and there are others who don't but their hearts are much better !Sometimes IThis i failed to understand! just think about The Lord Jesus when He said pharisees travel a long distance to convert a soul just to make it double a son of hell than themselves! May God have mercy and help us!

  • i will pray for them and you should too. but meanwhile continue to have faith

  • you have good reason to be concerned for their eternal well being. it's true, there are a FEW Christians in the catholic cult, which is what it is, but they are few and far between.. they place their hope in their good deeds and in the queen of heaven to intercede for them. that's not Christianity. let them know how you feel. give them the truth about hell. they;'ll probably turn you away. but maybe not. try not to bring it up if they reject it. pray 4 them. my folks are the same

  • Wonderful song :) Praise the Lord.

  • Our saltiness!

  • I gotta egmit the debate going on here interests me. But I also think that we shouldn't focus to hardly on what will happen after death. I mean, we already know that God has a place for his people, and a place for those who chose not to follow him. I think it's more important that we focus on spreading the message to all those who don't already know it, or who don't beleive. When we get there, it'll be really awesome because we will actually get to see God and worship him. Until then, let's keep

  • instead of debating over things that really don't matter right now...

    can't we just unite for a short minute and enjoy the music....

    :-)

  • I Agree with You Amen!!!!!! Blessings Be with and Within You,,,,

    ----jeffrey mark church

  • what it is is that some translation say pass away. But the greek words are translated regenerate not totally destroy. So it appears the earth will be made new. The earth as we know it. Either way its new because remember this earth is fallen and the whole creation groans for redemption from the curse of sin. So it needs to be made new like the original plan.

  • I don't want to debate theology here, but want to say how nice it will be to embrace brother Keith when we see him in Glory!

    "Even so, come, Lord Jesus..."

  • Sami George Sha'aouni met Jean Mercy O'Connell Sha'aouni, that way and called Irene Deighton O'Connell a bad people. My maternal side of the family..

    Cindy

  • Well Done!

    The thing is though, the bible does not teach we are going to die and go to heaven....HEAVEN IS COMING TO EARTH.

  • The dead in Christ shall rise, then we which remain shall be caught up with Him. Scripture says the earth will burn away. Heaven is not coming to earth.

  • PilgrimTraveling,

    Can we take this through scripture, in light of the TRUTH? If we read scripture we will find the answers. I can give you a lot of them but I am not sure if you REALLY want the truth or not.

    The bible talks about a new heaven, and a new earth...... There are countless scriptures on how God is coming back TO EARTH.

    Peace.

  • Now why would you go a assume that I don't want the truth? The only thing I have a hard time with is people who are not open to the fact that they might be wrong and instead accuse others of doing so. I agree, God is coming back to earth, that is for the soul purpose of taking us back with Him and judging the wicked, destroying earth and creating a new one. Why did Jesus tell the criminal on the cross, today you will be in paradise? Are you a Jehovah's Witness?

  • Also, just because you show me scripture that seem to show you one thing, doesn't mean that is what they are saying. So whatever you give me, do not take it out of context to fit what you believe.

    Remember, Jesus Christ went to prepare a place for us, that where He is there we may be also!

    Praise to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, these three are One!

  • I reckon the Gospel must be simple so that everyone who wants to find out can...ie so that intellect or a lack thereof can be no barrier to the seekers...in other words, Pilgrim and Shgadwa get a life and stop trying to show off how much you have read and how well you have interpreted.

    Keith Green loved the Lord and was so blessed to share it all.

    God Bless to you both.

    Stephen

  • stud-machine 147 What makes you think intellectual inquiry about biblical text can't be pursued for thirst of knowledge? What makes you think pilgrim and Shgadwa don't have a life and are showing off because they pursue knowledge? Some people that have views like yours just stay ignorant and try to discourage others so they will stay ignorant with them. They say ignorant is bliss. So everyone can just be in the darkness of stupidity and be happy about it.

  • shgad and pilgrim

    Heres the thing, you are both right. Heaven is a place. The bible also is clear the earth will never pass away. Whoa, yes it does say that it will be refinished so to speak. But the new jerusalem comes down from out of heaven. The 1000 years is hear on earth then a new heaven and earth.

    So if you die now you WILL go to heaven a real place. absent from body present with the Lord. When the new heaven and earth are done you can go to both because both will exist.

  • Beautiful! Check out another beautiful YouTube song/video that also features a child pleading with a parent: "Fearfully And Wonderfully Made - Voice Of The Children" as recorded by 7 year old Sharon Morgan, grandaughter of the late Dr. Walter Martin. Another powerful reminder of how precious life is.

  • An artist who seemingly has been touched by God is a rare thing. Keith was the essence of someone who truly had the annointing of God on his life. His music is the "realest" that I have ever heard! What a blessing he has been in so many lives!

  • Don't Ever give up on your parents. i came into my parents house sharing this new Jesus that i had found, all my family got saved but my father, he told me get out of his house with the bible. i would not stop, finaly after 20 years my father asked Jesus into his life. he passed away 2 years later. If you lift Jesus up in your whole life he said i will draw all men unto me. Be still and know He is God and will never leave you or forsake you

  • This song always reminds me of the part of my family that isn't saved. It kind of reflects my feelings.

  • Wonderful video. I like the way the text reflects the intent of the words. This is a song for believers who know that Heaven is a real place. Thanks for taking the time to create it.

  • thanks

  • I have always loved this song. It's my heart to those I know who do not know the Lord. I love you and just want to see you there.

  • There are a lot of great christian musicians. But I've always said to my friends that Keith's music is the kind of music that God would allow in heaven. Its truth, and he means every note every word. Some so called christian singers don't even mention Jesus in their songs. Keith's music is truly music worthy of God's ears.

  • i am totally with you, infact in a interview with keith, he was asked: what do you see in the future for christian music? his reply: I think most will be in it for the money... was he in-touch with Jesus or what?

  • he sure was. He saw it even back then. I don't doubt the hearts of alot of todays christian artists, but I wouldnt compare them to Keith's on passion, thats for sure.

  • Check out Leeland and Jason Upton.

  • oh ya, i like Upton too. Keith Green has a special place in my heart though. But thats why I wouldn't ever want to question others hearts, cause there are people like Upton and Leeland out there.

  • @Reinpret The music and lyricks of Keith Green is truly special and inspired by God and and it speaks to my heart every time I play it. Praise God for Keith Green.

    Another christian artist that has meant much to me is Dallas Holm. I find his songs very sincere and filled with Gods love as well.

  • I will just say one word

    Hillsong

    I think Keith would have ben disgusted

  • @Reinpret I want to go to hell now..thanks to you, dickhead

  • @fascismanarchy - Well I hope not. However, you may see something in Russia that should change your mind. Sadly your country will be part of the end times in a poor way. Your 21, start seeking now.

  • @Reinpret a): I'm not Russian. b): Don't believe everything you read (wether it's my youtube homepage or the bible..) c): The end of times? What are you talking about? What do you kow? You're just a stupid litttle animal who thinks he knows but, just like everyone else, is doomed to live a pointless and short existence. There's no Heaven and there is no God! and you KNOW IT!

  • @fascismanarchy - your silly.. and ignorant. Plain and simple. Your worldview is full of holes, your a sheltered person no doubt.

  • @Reinpret Why..

  • @fascismanarchy I stand neutral currently and who are you to tell anyone there's no heaven and to say life is pointless??? The fact that i have had the chance to experience love at all makes it all worth it take your negativity elsewhere.

  • @Reinpret how the fuck do u no that?

  • @wanwomgirl - i don't, I guess. I suppose I'm like many people, who Keith's music has touched. Yes part of why I love him is because of the music, but, It's knowing everything about Keith's story, i've read Melody's book, no compromise, and his music is truly how Christian music should be. From the heart, to feed the soul, and to praise Christ Jesus. Thats what its all about. This is why I feel his music is the kind of music that could be played in the presence of a Holy God.

  • @Reinpret oh the simple pure arrogance! this song is truly awful, sung to a god that does not exist.

  • @atheistdawn - oh the simple pure irony of someone who spouts arrogance with arrogance.

  • @Reinpret is it possible to spout arrogance without arrogance? pmsl and im not the one saying a song i like is worthy of a gods ears am i.

  • How could anyone tire of Keith and especially this tune of his? Thanks for posting this song of his. His parents salvation was especially a concern of his - does anyone know if they ever converted?

  • Yes, I think they did have a conversion experience and this song had a big part in it too, apparently. Keith used to play this for them whenever he visited the family home and they got so fed up with him they became Buddhists.

  • love this song

  • If you ever want to get closer to Jesus, let Keith's song be your guide. It's hard to sin while listening to him!

  • Wow. I love this song! It's easily one of my favorites. I never get tired of listening to Keith Green's music. I grew up listening to him. My mom had all of his vinyl records. She would play them nearly every day on our gigantic floor stereo. When cassette tape became popular, we dubbed all the records to tape so we could listen to Keith in the car. His music, and the Lord's urging, directly inspired me to learn piano at age 16, and I've been playing and singing Keith's music ever since.

  • Also, I've posted a few Keith Green covers on my channel if anyone is interested. I'd love to hear your thoughts, inspiration, and even criticism. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us fellow "youtubers". Keep the spirit alive, my friend!

    -Jason

  • To my husband who is turning away God at the moment. I pray you listens to this and understand. . .x

  • wow, yejay.... yeah i have sung "your love broke through" in my church.... it was fun as well as convicting.

  • this ish awesomness =]

  • I sat here with my 6 month old son the other night remembering when my dad hugged me to this song. I always has a special place in my heart thanks for posting it.

  • well, i am glad brought back true memories for you.

    Godbless

  • this is so wonderful.. whats the title of this song???

  • "Song to my Parents"

  • oh i thought you just said that.... thank you

  • This is very sweet, 5 stars my friend

  • I love this vidio, it made me cry because me and my mom used to listen yo this song all the time, but she passed away like kieth green.

  • definately one of the finest gospel songs ever written from the best gospel singer of his age and generation. sorely missed

  • sad but true song... i have subscribed to you.

  • this is really cool and creative! =)

  • Thank you so much for posting this video! I love this song!

  • Anytime, I love it to.... very touching

    Godbless
