LARRY NORMAN 5 years gone

Today i celebrate his life

remembering his songs

five years from now he flew away

leaving behind a legacy

of christian rock and roll

As he  rolled away a stone during his musical career

up till this day 

we hear the ripples in the sea of time

and how he told us all about

his greatest love of all

Jesus 

as he so often  sang out loud

While the bloodstained israelite lays down

waiting till the resurrectionday

we remember

how he  performed and took a stand

for Jesus and the poor

now living in another land

we remember 

how he rocked the flock

here on this earth

only visiting this planet

witnessing out on the streets

like moses tending sheep

he talked about the king of kings

while he himself sometimes

was in trouble deep

kept pointing toward the open door

upheld finger into the sky

crawling toward the lamb

Talking ‘bout Jesus just the same

How we all miss Larry so deeply.

Off balance

Jesus throws everything off balance
Dying daily at self centeredness
I take shelter in His tenderness
All the way down to the sewers of my soul
He is there
Into  the most hidden parts and the darkest corners
Of my deepest   thoughts
He is there
He opens up  spreading His light
Confronting me with how i really am
As a mirror on the wall
He is there
Together with the crumbling  pieces  of fallen frieindship and broken bondage
He stands firm and steady as a rock
Like a sheperd  should
Already  knowing that i would but couldn't make it on my own
He is there.
Jesus throws everything off balance
Dying daily at self centeredness
I take shelter in His tenderness
For He is always there.
