Rich Mullins anyone?

[AngryKoala]

Does anyone still listen to Rich Mullins?

I was recently blessed by a line in one of his songs...

"I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want than take what you give that I need..."

 

[HolmesSPH]

Rich Mullins was a great man of God and his music brought it out. He's one artist who is truly missed!

 

[SparkyMaddie]

i may have heard him..i don't think he's played much here

 

[bluelime2]

He was one of the first christian artists I listened to and I still love his music. I liked that line too

He died in 1997.

I didn't know this.

He wasn't wearing his seat belt, and got thrown from the vehicle. The other man in the jeep suffered injuries, but recovered from them.

Lesson: Always buckle up!

An inspiring man of God. Still one of my favourite christian artists.

I love his music. I have all of his CDs. My favorite Rich Mullins song is "Creed." I also like "That Where I Am, There You Will Also Be."

[WhiteWillow]

That's amazing.

I love his music. I have all of his CDs. My favorite Rich Mullins song is "Creed."

I love his songs where he plays the hammered dulcimer! I also love My Deliverer even though it wasn't completed by him. It was played at funeral in my church and it has hit me hard ever since.

 

[keb2005]

He is one of my favs. My fav songs from him are Screen door, Awesome God and Alrightokuhumamen.

 

[Quasiblogo]

Still listening. "The Jesus Record" is amazing.

 

[Dave-W]

Loved his hammer dulcimer work on "Calling Out Your Name." Even seasoned players wondered how he did it.

 

[Quasiblogo]

Thanks, Dave. "Calling Out Your Name" (COYN) is so psalm-like. That and "Color Green" just blew me away the first time I heard them. Very unique that stations would give COYN so much air time, given its long, opening instrumentals. That just speaks to the anointing in those hands.

There have only been a handful of artists who I would describe as prophetic. Keith Green is one. Rich Mullins is definitely one.

I am continually amazed by how much God still speaks through his music.

Another one that is phenomenal:

He is greatly missed.
One of the songs i still listen to:

Actually, I think that one was written by "Beaker."

This one was a joint effort with "Beaker" writing the chorus and Mullins writing the verses:

I kind of wonder what ever happened to Beaker? If those choruses are any indication, he was a fine composer of worship tunes.
