Keith Green was a popular Christian musician during the years of my youth. He died on July 28, 1982 at the age of 29 in a plane accident. He was survived by his wife Melody who continues to run their ministry known as Last Days Ministries. One of the themes of Keith's ministry was evangelism and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through his music.
Keith Green gave the Christian world many cherished and upbeat songs such as Your Love Broke Through, You Put This Love in My Heart, and Asleep in The Light.
