Trinity




Holy Father
please forgive me
for i have truly sinned
and while i am standing at Your door
I realise that i’ve been here 
many times  before
Holy Son please make me whole
for i have truly sinned
and while i’m kneeling down
here  at your Cross
i realise that  i never kneeled before
Holy Spirit  cleans my soul
for i have truly sinned
and while i’m waiting for your wind
i realise that you’ve been waiting 
many times before
selah

Back from the abbyss (some days in the deep with qohelet)




Back from the abbyss
into the light
back from the depth
of a stone cold night
wondering how and why and what for
i try to enter this baricaded door
eons to come and eons have past
now is the future
i’m home at last
thank you my Lord
that you scream in my thoughts
i praise Your name
and will carry your sword
You are the word 
and Your word is my light
no abbys or pit or depth of the night
will separate me from Your love and Your care
whatever i ask or whatever i lose
whichever diversion i take or might  choose
You won’t let me  go
 and You ‘ll allways be  there
Back from the abbyss
into Your light
back from my depth
of a stone cold night
don’t need no answers Lord to questions unmarked
‘t was there at the cross that i have embarked
selah
and don’t stop at 144000.

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.

The absence of sound













In the absense of sound
it is where Im found
In the absense of my voice
in the darkness of your nights
I will be waiting
as the Father waits
for the prodigal SON
So when you think that I am gone
and you do not hear me speak
I reassure you
it is in this silence that I scream. . . . .

I LOVE YOU

but you've got to listen quietly. . .
and youve got to listen well
'cause My voice can be a Lions roar in your whispering prayer.
