Keith is timeless, his music, ministry, words, still have the punch they had 40 years ago. This performance is for a new generation of believers and especially lost souls. Lord thank you for Keith and his ministry, and Father bless Melody and girls.
Wow that was so amazing. I became a Christian in the Canadian Army in 1986 because of Keith and Melody Green's music. It's been nearly 40 years since Keith, Josiah and Bethany went to be with the Lord. I sincerely think God for this music. They don't really make it like this anymore.
when and where was this concert being held ? great orchestra and singing.. it's about time that Keith's musical legacy be introduced to the millenial generation
I don't easily get moved by music but I can never get through this song without tears streaming down my face. How beautiful God's love is! And Evin and team - wow wow wow, what a beautiful cover!! Thank you for preserving Keith's legacy. Love it!
I'm very surprised at the quality of this song... one of the best ever witten... and I sensed the quiet dignity in which Evian replicated Keith Green... It gives the lory to God!!!! I love the instruments ....
Wow!! I was looking for something of Keith's -- and THIS popped up! I figured it was a total mistake because nobody -- like N.O.B.O.D.Y -- has ever even tried to cover this song that I know of.... As the orchestra started playing I was stunned as I'd heard Keith play it so many times -- and they had it down! (pass that on please :) Then I thought OK it's gonna be a symphonic version...and it sounds great. I wasn't expecting anyone to come out and sing... But no. Then YOU stepped out.. And just gave it all of your heart, I could feel it! You are one brave and very talented man! You totally blessed me:) Keith always said that this song was "his story" before he knew Jesus. So I pray that this will reach many other prodigals / searchers -- and bring them into the arms of their heavenly Father!. Jesus is waiting! -- Bless you Evin, stay strong and keep serving Jesus. He is worth it!! -- Melody. Oh wait.. PS Where was this at? And what orchestra was playing?
I grew up listening to Keith Green all the time in our house. My dad loved his music and played his cassette tapes and CDs all the time, so I heard every single song of his. As a child I always just thought he was another boring Christian singer. It wasn't until recently that I rediscovered Keith Green's music, and sometimes...I just have no words but tears. His songs are deep, the lyrics convicting, the messages challenging, uplifting, truthful, edifying, and I believe he was anointed by God in his talent. I haven't found another Christian musician who even comes close to him in total dedication to the Lord in every way. I've never felt so much conviction to repent from a Christian singer as I do with Keith's music. I've been listening to his songs on repeat for the last few week and every time they convict me in a deep way and make me want to repent fully, die to myself and live for Jesus. I once was that lost prodigal son. I rejected God and lived for myself for years of my adult life. Keith Green's ministry and music has helped bring me back to full repentance and a desire to live for Him. Thank you Keith for your dedication and love for Jesus, and for others.
Thanks, this song changed my life 30 years ago and it changed my life again today. My Father gave me a lot, it toke me 30 years to finish all He has given me. I'm on the way home now, with the knowledge that I have sinned and not deserve to be His son. This song reminds me, that if I repent the Father will let me in again. It's a long and hard way back.
Excellent performance. My only criticism is that it hews too closely to Keith Green’s original, when I’d really love to hear it delivered in a bold new style. That’s a common problem with covers, though; and a difficult feat for any piece of music, particularly one this complex. Great work!
@@nathanielchapman1829 not at all. We’d still have the original by Keith Green to appreciate. I know it’s not a universal position, but I love covers by artists with the vision to adapt a song to their voice and style. The “No Compromise” tribute album was a mostly successful effort in that direction with Green’s music, like The Jesus Album was for Rich Mullins.
