I am the I am

I am the I am

I am Alfa

I am Omega

I am the I am

take a look at the past year

time  will shift at zero hours tonight

but not everywhere at the same moment!

2010 will pass

2011 wil start

next year colours different 

if you let me Live in your heart

I am the I am

I am Alfa

I am omega

I am the I am

for I created time 

and space

and matter

for I so loved the world

that I gave my only Son

to let three become one

the trilogy’s done

I am the I am

I am Alfa

I am Omega

I am the I am

without Me

you wouldn’t be

at all

surrender to your maker

kneel down before His eyes

He wil provide in all your needs

Give Him your heart and follow

whereever that He leads

for He is the I am

He is the Alfa

He is Omega

He is the I am.

Happy and blessed New Year

If i got my ticket

The latest cd i bought from Larry Norman was Maximum SOn.

On this CD i stumbled upon the very nice version of “Lord if i got my ticket” a very old negrospiritual.

In this version Larry shows us how he is able to move within one song from old negro spiritual music to modern rock and roll within the same textframes.

To me this is a true diamond among all of his other songs.

Here he is putting all he has said about rock and roll came from the african enslaved people  to america .

During this song he is able to practise musically what he has been saying for years about modern rock and roll as the provence of God  instead of that of the devil. In contrary to what most elderly people during the fifties were saying.

The song  starts with a very old fashioned negroe spiritual oriented way of singing and moves as the song developes to heavier accompanied guitars,drums and distiortion until the song has completely shifted into a real rock and roll song.

MEASURING TIME

Talking to you 'bout Jesus Christ

a man with no book written

or invention made

you know the story of  how he died

died like a criminal in the midle of time

Blueprint for failure

all the same

but the whole world measures time

because of His name.

ADVENT

“people say im strange does that make me a stranger

that my best friend,was born in a manger” 

(Larry Norman-Jesus freak -Breath in Breath out disc 1)

Christmas’ coming soon

The morningstar is at the eastern hemisphere

sheeps are in the field

sheperds near the fire

innkeepers not for hire

The roman emperor

nothing more than a pawn

on the chessbord of ancient politics

Professing himself to be wise

he became the fool

Three wisemen already on the move

towards the realms of Bethlehem

They’ve read the stars and now  know for shure

the Son of man is standing at the doorstep

truth will finally get it’s foot between the doors of reality

safely in his earthly mothers whomb

knowing that His destiny will be a stonecold tomb

but not for long

not for ever

not for shure

and certainly 

not for good

for where His wooden cross will stand

He’ll draw the line accross our mortal  sins

to enable us to make that final step

into another land

to be with Him

for ever,

for shure

for good.

Hallowed be His name.

Jesus Christ,

. . . the newborn King.
