LYRICS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN GOD IS FAITHFUL HOW TO

'My primary responsibility,' says Steve 'is to my family - to keep learning how to love my wife well and support my children. Married for 26 years, he and his wife, Marijean, have an expanding family - 23-year-old Summer Green Schulz (husband Mark) and 19-year-old Josiah. Though he feels called and privileged to share Christ's love through his music ministry, Steve's first ministry is to his family. With each passing year, I'm asking God and myself these questions: -Is this the place where I can most effectively glorify Him? Can what I do be explained simply by natural means or is there the evidence of God's presence and power? Am I still approaching every event as if it were my last chance to communicate God's truth?' Steve confesses that he still feels a joyful responsibility and strong urgency to share the gospel, encourage believers in their faith, and invite others to God's gracious gift of salvation. 'I've been doing this for a long time now. With 23 recordings to his credit, including children's projects and Spanish-language albums, Green has sold over three million albums worldwide. 1 songs, and six Dove Awards, Christian music's highest honor. Throughout his years of ministry, Steve's music has been honored with four Grammy nominations, 13 No. It just doesn't feel like it's been that long,' says Steve. But a 20th anniversary sounds like something others have, not me. The journey thus far has been remarkable. 'I am deeply grateful for God's preserving grace to continue in what He has called me to do. 'My specific calling, as I understood it, was to communicate through music the theme of spiritual awakening - the turning of hearts back to the Lord.'ДЄnd that's precisely the legacy he's created for almost two decades. 'I remember making my first recording in order to have material for a live concert,' Steve reminisces. I want growth in holiness, having a heart that is more and more aligned with God's.'ДЄs Steve celebrates 20th year in the Christian music industry, he fondly remembers his fledgling beginning in 1984 when he established Steve Green Ministries. 'I want to grow in grace, in love, and in knowledge of my Lord. And that's simply to a place where he is hungering for more of Christ. He is quick to point to God's grace as what has brought him from that place to where he is today. I still tremble to think of how far I strayed from the Lord.' Those were my most difficult years - years of wandering and disobedience. According to Steve, 'I just wanted to live how I wanted to live, do what I wanted to do.

Growing resentful of his parents' commitment to the Lord, he wanted just enough of God to go to heaven. Steve admits that he spent 10 years - from the time he was 16 until he was 26 - saying no to God. However, it wasn't until I was 26 that I understood the gospel of salvation by faith alone, in Christ alone.'

On a Sunday afternoon, I knelt by my bed and prayed, trusting Jesus as my Savior. 'My initial recognition of need for Christ was at age 8 while attending a boarding school in Argentina. The son of missionary parents, Steve was raised in South America. It's the pillar of his personal relationship with Christ, it's evident in his 20 years of music ministry, and it's a mainstay of his family relationships. But that's the word that comes up time and time again in the life and ministry of Steve Green. Grace can be a tough word to get your hands around.
