Keith Green - 1978 LP: No Compromise - A2 Make My Life a Prayer

Details

Description

No Compromise is the second album release by contemporary Christian music pianist and singer Keith Green, released in 1978. The album's title derives from "Make My Life a Prayer to You", which begins: "Make my life a prayer to You / I wanna do what You want me to / No empty words and no white lies / no token prayers, no compromise." (The title was used for the official Keith Green biography written by his wife Melody Green, which was included in Rich Text Format (RTF) and Portable Document Format (PDF) formats on The Ministry Years, Volume Two (1980-1982) (CD release), which has the Enhanced CD label.) No Compromise features cover art that refers to the Book of Esther in the Bible, specifically the part where Mordecai refused to bow to Haman. Much like Green's first work, this album was produced by Bill Maxwell, who also contributed some of the instrumental playing on the album along with Keith Green himself. The song 'How Can They Live Without Jesus?' was covered by the band Glad for the 1993 Keith Green tribute album No Compromise: Remembering the Music of Keith Green. The song 'Make My Life A Prayer To You' was covered by Matt Redman & Paul Oakley in 2002 for another tribute album, Your Love Broke Through: The Worship Songs Of Keith Green.
