Steve Green

My mom and I attended a Steve Green concert last night at her church, Judson Baptist. It was wonderful! It was actually more of a worship service than a concert. He sang some old hymns like Holy, Holy, Holy and It is Well (a duet with a man from Judson Baptist), as well as some contemporary favorites. He also did some of the classic songs that he is best known for: For God and God Alone, Enter In, and Household of Faith (a duet with his wife, Marijean), and some of his newer hits.

His piano/keyboard/accordian player was Dick Tunney, who formerly worked with the group "First Call" with his wife Melodie. He played a beautiful piano solo of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
Steve has been doing music for 25 years. He has a very impressive and powerful tenor voice, but he gives God all the glory. After his last song, the audience gave him a standing ovation, but he quickly had us sing a worship chorus, praising God instead of him. He also shared the message of salvation during the concert.

It is so nice to see someone who is a talented musician but also truly has a heart for God. If you ever have a chance to see him in concert, I would highly recommend you go.

How wonderful! I really appreciate him and especially his walk with God. It's REAL! Read a devotion book he co-wrote with men from his prayer group. So good!!!!
