THE KEITH GREEN STORY

I just finished watching the Keith Green story on 'you tube.' It was very moving.I've since puchased his CD 'Ultmate Collection' featuring his greatest ministry songs and a DVD of his life. If you have £15 to spare it is well worth buying. Keith had both a passion for God's glory and for those without God and hope in the world. He did not seek glory for himself and was regarded by many as an authentic servant of God. He is an example for all of us to follow, especially those in the Christian music business. He gave thousands of his tapes and records to people for free or 'Whatever they could afford'. His music and ministry are sadly missed. Below are the lyrics of the song 'asleep in the dark' which you can hear 'live' on my previous blog entry.

Do you see, do you see
All the people sinking down
Dont you care, dont you care
Are you gonna let them drown

How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done

Oh bless me lord, bless me lord
You know its all I ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts
No one even sheds one tear
But he cries, he weeps, he bleeds
And he cares for you needs
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in
Oh cant you see its such a sin
cause he brings people to you door
And you turn them away
As you smile and say God bless you,
be at peace
And all heaven just weeps
cause Jesus came to you door
You've left him out on the streets

Open up open up And give yourself away
You see the need, you hear the cries
So how can you delay
God's calling and you're the one
But like jonah you run
He's told you to speak
But you keep holding it in
Or can't you see its such a sin

The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
cause its asleep in the light
How can you be so dead
When you're been so well fed
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on get out of your bed
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done
Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the jobs done Come away,
come away, come away with me my love
Come away, come away, come away with me my love
