What a great version. Thanks for posting it. Any chance you could post "Time" from How the West was One? I think Time was on there with Phil Keaggy and Michael Omartian doing some anazing instrumentals. Would love to hear that again...

I LOVE this song!

@alyosha77 Actually Annie Herring Wrote this song, but it was also done by Keith Green. I googled it to be sure and credit is given to Annie for writing it. I love both versions though! I remember when I heard about Keith's plane crash and was devastated. I felt as many others did that I had lost my brother. As indeed we all did. I saw 2cnd Chapter of Acts in concert in Houston on their last tour before retiring. I remember being so blessed and getting to hug them. I miss them!

All these songs were shared by the different Christian bands. I believe Annie did write this.

This was actually written by Keith Green, but I agree this is the best version. We got to see them perform this live in Ft. Wayne, IN at the Adam's Apple when they were the opening act for Barry McGwire (a long, long time ago).
