The song, "There is a Redeemer", was written by Keith's wife, Melody.

Here is some discussion about their early days in Christ:

Well, the story goes on, and Keith and Melody found deliverance in Christ, got solid doctrinal teaching, and left a musical legacy that still blesses us. The song “There is a Redeemer” got lost in the shuffle for a few years, but resurfaced during the recording sessions for Songs for the Shepherd. Keith wrote a new verse for it, envisioning a time “When I stand in glory, I shall see his face.” Keith was to die in a plane crash later that year.

Songs for the Shepherd also included a cover song, which is something pretty rare: A fountain of new songs like Keith Green didn’t often record other peoples’ music. But the last track on that April 1982 album is Keith Green’s version of a classic hymn: Holy Holy Holy, by Reginald Heber:

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity.

The hymn never sounded more like a love song to the Trinity than in Keith Green’s performance of it. That’s because evangelical singer Keith Green really loved the Trinity, in a distinctively evangelical way.
