Christian music writer Kurt Kaiser, whose six-decade career of songwriting included popular spiritual songs like “Pass It On” and “Oh How He Loves You And Me,” has passed away after a lengthy illness. He was 83 years old.
Kaiser died Monday at his home in Waco, Texas, according to an announcement published by local media outlet the Waco Tribune-Herald.
Kaiser is survived by his wife Pat, four children and their spouses, ten grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, one sister, and three brothers.
Terry York, professor of Christian ministry and church music in Baylor University’s Truett Seminary, said on Monday that Kaiser had a powerful impact on many through his music.
