father of all
[Go to Song Page]
When I'm tired from the journey and the road seems long
And I fear that I'm losing my way
Let my heart keep turning toward your love so strong
Help me walk from the darkness into day
Father, I give you my life
Jesus, I give you my soul
Spirit, I give you my will
And I submit my control
Father of all
Saviour of all
Spirit of all
I give my all to thee [x2]
When I'm filled with sorrow and burdened with shame
And my soul is stricken with regret
Let me walk toward tomorrow singing praises to your name
Let me not your true love to forget

Jesus, I give you my soul
Spirit, I give you my will
And I submit my control

I give my all to thee [x2]

dark passage
[Go to Song Page]
Twenty some odd years ago
I fell and missed the moon
I guess I must have reached too high
I guess it was too soon
For me to understand the loss
That I would travel with
And how my path would wander
As I struggled with the myth
That love is what you make it
And your hope must never cease
So that all the love you give away
Will secure a house of peace
As the harbour fall covered the ship
As I strode out for a walk
A man in black came up to me
And he began to talk
He said son you are so far away
You must find the strength to move
Closer to your destiny
You've nothing else to prove
Reach out and touch the future
Look for the open door
Then his image slowly faded
And I saw him nevermore
I didn't understand him
I was so much younger then
I didn't have the courage
You expect from older men
I was tired from my long journey
Just returning from the wars
Where the dark angels had wounded me
'Til I couldn't stand no more
When I met the woman meant for me
I couldn't look her in the eye
And I kept my feelings to myself
As she turned and said goodbye
Well there's a world of wicked people
Who will take all that you own
They will strip you of your heart and flesh
And discard your sacred bones
They will tie you down with lies and schemes
And say that you can't leave
But they will bury you in lawyers
'Til you cannot even breathe
They will try hard to destroy you
But if you watch then you will see
They have no real imagination
And they lack true charity
She was young when I first met her
But she seemed as old as me
And I kicked the stones beneath my feet
And spoke too quietly
She couldn't hear my heartbeat
Or see my flashing eyes
I was fearful in her presence
I thought she'd see through my disguise
She knew how much I loved her
But she'd feed my every thought
But she was too much busy thinking
Of all the rules that she'd been taught
When I look up at the stars
And I see the depth of night
I stare solemn at creation
And the moon's reflected light
It takes its brightness from the sun
It has no power of its own
And that's how I sometimes see myself
A man on whom love once had shone
There's a castle standing on a hill
In a far and distant place
I could lock myself inside it
But I still would see her face
There is no one in this dark world
Who can give the love she needs
I feel her sadness in my spirit
And her wounds from which love bleeds
I can almost hear her crying
I know what she's thinking of
But sometimes I still wonder if
She's better off without my love
My death is moving toward me
Though it still seems miles away
It's almost reached me several times
In it's bed I'll someday lay
And sometimes at night I'm sleeping
I think I hear her call my name
And I sit up and reach out for her
But it's always just the same
Her touch is far beyond my reach
Because I was so young and blind
But she'll always be the one I love
The one I left behind

When Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
They're dying every day
When Jesus asks you why you didn't
Well what are you gonna say
There's a little boy
Lying on the ground
Sick to lift his head up
Too weak to make a sound
Ah you gotta feed the poor
You must obey
'Cause when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor

You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
Then what are you gonna say
Yeah
They're cutting down the rainforest so they can feed the cows
Fast food corporations, they got no time for ploughs
The wet lands and the swamp lands are being drained away
The animals and bird life, they have no place to stay
You gotta feed the poor [Coughs]
Gotta feed the poor [Coughs]
The insidious conglomerates deny that they're involved
Offshore phoney shell fronts, they make it hard to solve
A-with a thousand miles of paper trails went round, round and round
Or you can subpoena affidavits, another million trees come down
Feed the poor
Why don't you obey
'Cause when Jesus asks you why you didn't
Well what are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
They're dying every day, yeah

Jesus freak
[Go to Song Page]
Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced
I saw a man with a tat on his big fat belly
It wriggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
'Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
Jesus saves is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he'd had a dream
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
There ain't no disguising the truth (There ain't no disguising the truth)
No I ain't into hiding the truth (No I ain't into hiding the truth)
Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
'Cause I won't live and die to the power they seek
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
You see the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
And the king took the head of this Jesus freak
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth [x2]
No I ain't into (No I ain't into) hiding (hiding) the truth (the truth)
People say I'm strange, does that make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in the manger
People say I'm strange, does that make me a stranger
My best friend was born in the manger
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

friendship's end
[Go to Song Page]
There once was a time
When I could call you a friend of mine
A place to hide, where can I find
I wanna leave my, my past behind
Though things are different now
Why can’t we make amends
(Why can’t we make amends)
Though things are different now
Why can’t we still be friends
(Why can’t we still be friends)
Once there was a closeness shared
Each others burdens, together we beared
Your stubborn self will gets in the way
Oh oh, you never listen to anything I say
Though things are different now
Why can’t we make amends
(Why can’t we make amends)
Though things are different now
Why can’t we still be friends
(Why can’t we still be friends)
Now I’ve found someone, someone new
Ah ha
To replace my thoughts of you
Yeah yeah
And now I've found someone else
To replace my thoughts of you
Uh, uh-uh, ah ah yeah
There once was a time
When I could call you a friend of mine
A place to hide, where can I find
I wanna leave my, my past behind
Though things are different now
Why can’t we make amends
(Why can’t we make amends)
Though things are different now
Why can’t we still be friends
(Why can’t we still be friends)
Once there was a closeness shared
Each others burdens, together we beared
Your stubborn self will gets in the way

Though things are different now
Why can’t we still be friends

Now I’ve found someone, someone new
Ah ha
To replace my thoughts of you
Yeah yeah
And now I've found someone else
To replace my thoughts of you
Uh, uh-uh, ah ah yeah
when all my dreams are ending
[Go to Song Page]
When all my dreams are ending
I find myself pretending
That my hopes are far from dying
And my tears are not from crying
I just throw back my head
Smiling instead and laugh, laugh
Laugh at all the things that I have lost
On those nights when I get lonely
I tell myself it's only
Evening imitating sorrow
And that I'll feel fine tomorrow
And I never confess
That I've cried over us, gone, gone
Gone are all the things we used to share
And care for
When the nights get cold
I sit by a lonely fire
Remembering the love we shared
With laughter and desire
Ah da la la la ETC
When all my dreams are ending
And I never confess
That I've cried over love, gone, gone
Gone are all the things we used to share
And care for
When all my dreams are ending
I find myself pretending
That my hopes are far from dying
And my tears are not from crying
I just throw back my head
Smiling instead and laugh, laugh
Laugh at all the things that I have lost
On those nights when I get lonely
I tell myself it's only
Evening imitating sorrow
And that I'll feel fine tomorrow
And I never confess
That I've cried over us, gone, gone
Gone are all the things we used to share
And care for
When the nights get cold
I sit by a lonely fire
Remembering the love we shared
With laughter and desire
Ah da la la la ETC
When all my dreams are ending
And I never confess
That I've cried over love, gone, gone
Gone are all the things we used to share
And care for

When you are lost
When you are sad
You must remember all the love we had
Try not to hurt
Try not to cry
Keep your head up and look into the sky
Call, don't wonder why I am near
Please say a prayer
When you think of me
For now he's there even if you can't see
I love your heart
With all of mine
Yours is the love that I could never find
Because I was so blind, but I am near
Do not be sad
And don't despair
God knows your every thought and he is there
He is your house
He is your place
I feel his love when I recall your face
For I look into space, I am near
I feel so far from where I know that I should be
Oh will I ever find my way
I’ve climbed the mountain and as far as I can see
This is the way that things will stay
Please say a prayer
When you think of me
And I'll be there even if you can't see
I love your heart
With all of mine
Yours is the love that I could never find
Because I was so blind, but I am near
I am near
I am near
When you are lost
When you are sad
You must remember all the love we had
Try not to hurt
Try not to cry
Keep your head up and look into the sky
Call, don't wonder why I am near
Please say a prayer
When you think of me
For now he's there even if you can't see
I love your heart
With all of mine
Yours is the love that I could never find
Because I was so blind, but I am near
Do not be sad

He is your house
He is your place
I feel his love when I recall your face
For I look into space, I am near
I feel so far from where I know that I should be

And I'll be there even if you can't see
I love your heart
With all of mine
Yours is the love that I could never find
Because I was so blind, but I am near

Disc 2
godspell interview
You spoke about seeing Godspell in London. What was your impression of the musical?
I saw, hmm, I first saw Godspell in London with David Essex in the lead role, and I liked it a lot. And perhaps I had a little bit different perspective on Godspell. I had immersed myself in theatre, eh, eh, during those years. I had written Alison and a second musical which Paul Aaron had directed. Eh later he directed Salvation on Broadway. Teddy Neeley was my co-star in both musicals and he went on to portray Jesus in the Norman Jewison film, eh, of Jesus Christ Superstar. An', and I had seen Superstar on stage in New York and also in London and I didn't like it. So when Godspell came along so, eh, yeah when Gods, when Godspell came along I had a lot of concern about how the image of Christ might be presented. In Superstar Jesus is portrayed as being confused and misdirected and the script centralised Judas Iscariot as the hero. A kind of a victim of God's will, and forced to betray Christ to fulfil some vague destiny. And, and there was no resurrection, there was only, there was only failure. But in Godspell, eh, there was joy and there was an implied resurrection because, eh of the celebration when the clown who represents the Christ figure dies but then comes back and sings the finale with eh, all of his followers. And also there was so much scripture in Godspell that it really had the power which comes through those words which Jesus had spoken and I felt that Godspell might bless the people who came to watch it. They weren’t going to see Jesus as a forlorn character who was confused about his identity and his purpose and they, they would hear bible scripture, perhaps for the first time, and there was so much love in Godspell. I thought that this was very important, not Christ as a sombre icon with his arms stretching out, but Jesus the man, the saviour who loves people.
What do you remember about Godspell’s music?
Well, um, in Superstar a lot of the music was almost like a dirge, it was kind of aleatory with the melodies stabbing aimlessly within the chords. But eh Godspell in contrast had joyful melodies and very uplifting lyrics. Day By Day was great, you know, Bless The Lord, All Good Gifts. These were a lot better than most Broadway songs. If you’re familiar with the quality of musical scores in the sixties and seventies Godspell was a lot more memorable. Eh, two, two, I remember eh two important songs, Learn Your Lessons Well and We Beseech Thee were in the original stage production but were both cut out of David Green’s film version, and I think that was because of the conviction these songs evoked. Th’ these songs call people to accountability and eh introspection looking at personal sin. Eh, and the other songs like Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord, eh, a lot of these songs are almost like early praise and worship music.
Well me about how the music changed from the late sixties to early seventies.
There was a real despair in cinema in the sixties, which was al', also reflected in the music. A lot of bands sang about what they thought was wrong with the world but, ah, no answers. Em, love songs were more about the anguish that comes with betrayal. And at that time a lot of music was about alienation, distrust but, but then James Taylor and Carole King and Jimmy Webb started writing about small moments in life, subtle aspects of personal relationships and Godspell it also had this very eh, it was very much a feel good experience for theatre goers who had eh just sat through Line and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, very depressing productions. Em, and I had been singing christian rock songs for a long time with a lot of resistance from people, but with productions like Salvation and particularly Godspell, the shock of hearing Jesus’ name in a modern context began to change the way people reacted. You know, if the church wasn’t gonna take Jesus into the streets and the theatre then the rocks would cry out and others would present the gospel around the world.
Hmm. Well please recount some of the positive and negative things that were happening in the world during the seventies. You told me that you spent much of your time overseas. What were some of the things that you were doing during that time?
I think there was a lot of distortion in peoples thinking at the end of the sixties. Some people were living in communes to try to find peace, em, get in touch with the earth. Eh, eh other people were trying to evolve from their radical stance and somehow effect change through eh, political channels. A', a', and I was not in America a lot during those years, I was touring through Europe, trying to write songs for, really for non christians. Eh and I, I tried to do this, em in a very artful way, you know, after the Beatles broke up George Martin had built Air Studios in London, started producing other artists and he helped me put together a band so that I could record Only Visiting This Planet. I performed at Royal Albert Hall five, six times then appeared on BBC television, was in two film documentaries. Started my own record label, started producing albums for the artists. I was just very busy. That’s all I can think of.
Okay Larry, thanks for answering the questions, and eh, guess that’s about it.

[Starts over the ending to Why Don't You Look Into Jesus]
Six-o-four on the morning show, Jimmy Dee and Why Don't You Look Into Jesus. Morning everybody, we're eh pleased, happy, thankful that Larry Norman is with us in the studio. Morning Larry
Hi
Thanks for coming in
Yeah
You're even awake almost
Yeah
Larry has been aptly titled the founding father of christian music and eh, that was one of the songs a lotta folks grew up on, including myself. Larry eh, got in last night and eh, and normally I guess you're getting, you're more of a night owl so
Yeah this is not bad huh, yeah
It's not too bad though for ya
No sometimes I'm up this late just writing songs. I like, I like being up at night when everybody else is asleep, it's so peaceful
You have a good flight?
Hm-Hmm
Any problems?
No, no [Hesistantly]
Okay
We landed
That's always a positive. I dunno, maybe a good way to start would be, in a way from the beginning just to give folks a context of where you're, where you're coming from, em, people would probably recognise, eh, your first group.
Is this like a talk show, this is a three hour talk show or?
We're gonna mix in some songs as we go and
Why don't you play another song
You want me to do that
Yeah
Alright, let's do that. I have eh
It get's boring when people just talk and talk so I, I don't wanna start off their drive to work by doing this to them
Okay, alright, well we'll do that then. One of our favourites is eh Reader's Digest
Okay
Would that be cool with you?
Hm-hmm
Okay
[Reader's Digest]
Today's christian music nine ninety WZZD, Reader's Digest. Larry Norman, six thirteen on the morning show. 800-990-9673 is our number if you would like to get involved in the conversation. Eh, it's been a long eh, it's been a long week just getting ready so please bear with me personally in the first few moments just getting ourselves together. We have to actually do a little bit of a special set up for this to all happen this morning so I'm just actually testing out a couple of the buttons and stuff like that to make sure we have access to all the stuff that we need.
Larry, that's a really cool song and that's one of the ones I love to play in the morning just for the energy sake, the quick wit that comes through in your lyrics and stuff. Eh, I don't know if you remember what led you to write that song or how you got the thing together, very timely, captured the time very well, what was going on that time.
Yeah I thought about a lot of things all the time but usually a song develops only one idea for the whole song. So I wanted to eh talk about a lot of different things so I decided to write a song that I could talk about a bunch of things, not just one thing but a lot of things. So I, I wrote that song, and eh, I remember reading Reader's Digest when I was in school and I thought there's just so many articles in this magazine, so that's why I called the song Reader's Digest, because there's so many ideas in the song.
Did it take you a long time to craft the song like that, 'cause I think the lyrics are very clever?
Nah, it doesn't take any time at all. I don't know why but it's just easy to write a song. If you said go in the other room and write a song I'd just go and think oh I got an idea for a song and it just, it just comes right out.
Okay. It's interesting because you capture a lot of things in that, in that that would, you know, it seems like it would take a while to maybe come up with. You were with the group People?
Hm-hmm, yeah
Some folks will obviously know about and then eh, how long were you with the band there and...
Two years
Okay
Yeah
And then...
Yeah I couldn't find any, any eh christians that could play instruments. In fact most christians thought that rock and roll was of the devil, so really I had no way of getting a band together and then I, and then I met a couple of Jewish boys and eh one Catholic and eh, a guy who had been raised Mormon but he never had really gone to church but a few times, but so he said he was a Mormon but he wasn't you know. So it was kind of hard being in the group People that didn't understand what I wanted to do but they would, they were happy to, to do whatever. I mean I was the person that wrote most of the songs and Capitol, actually it's a good thing they started writing songs because Capitol didn't really want to release all my songs.
Hmmm
Em, so we ended up doing a lot of material that the rest of the guys had written and, but that was ironic too because a couple of years later Capitol offered me a solo contract doing nothing but christian songs. So I did Upon This Rock, did I Wish We'd All Been Ready and, and eh Sweet Song Of Salvation and a bunch of songs like that. So even though Capitol didn't like it at first they were actually the first label to ever release any christian rock music. And I'd been writing it since I was young so I felt really eh, glad that I could be on Capitol Records all those years.
So you were a christian when you were in People?
Yeah well I was five I became a christian and, and eh when I was nine I began singing at school and, and eh, and so I started talking to kids at school and getting, trying to get them to come. Actually that's why I started writing these songs, was because I couldn't get kids to come to church with me. Probably, I didn't think of it at the time was they're kids, they have to get their parents to give them permission or they'd have to get their parents to come to church you know. Ah, most nine year old kids are not gonna tell their parents I'm going to church whether you like it or not, right. So anyway, nobody would go to church with me. When I was in the fourth grade I decided I'm gonna bring church to the, to the kids, I'm gonna start singing at lunch hour. So I was very, I wouldn't say I was ambitious, it really had nothing to do with music for years. It was all about Jesus, it was about being a missionary and that's what I wanted to be, but I just started doing it at school in my own country, you know instead of going to Africa which is where I kind of thought all the missionaries used to go. 'Cause I thought well that's where the people don't wear any clothes and I think the missionaries feel that it's their job to go make 'em wear clothes and tell them about God. But I didn't see why they had to wear clothes, couldn't believe even if you had a loin cloth on? Why do you have to wear, you know.
Alright
American clothes
The innocent thoughts of a nine year old coming through. It's six nineteen on the morning show, eh Timmy Dee with Larry Norman in the studio, we're very glad he's here with us, the guy that got the whole ball of wax rolling so to speak in contemporary christian music. We're gonna throw on a couple more songs and in the near future here I'll take some calls, 100-990 Word. Em, my laptop is in another room and my laptop has all of your CDs except Only Visiting This Planet, which we just played a song from.
Ah ha
Now we could burn through all the great ones on this one and then go get my laptop. But what I think I'll do is I'll put one on here, I'll go get my laptop, we'll come back and
[Why Should The Devil have All The Good Music]
What is your, maybe this is a tough question. Is there a favourite song you have Larry or favorite group of songs that you enjoy doing or you get the most responsive or, there's so many to pick from obviously?
It just depends what I'm trying to em do at the time. You mean when I'm singing in concert?
Ah yeah maybe I'm, maybe I should ask two separate questions. Do you personally, do you have a song that you eh, you still enjoy turning the stereo on and enjoying listening to it?
I'm not usually listening to my music.
Okay
But eh, if I was gonna put on something from eh, this period you're talk, playing right now which is the sixties, from that album I would play I Wish We'd All Been Ready.
Okay, which DC Talk have covered and folks are familiar with that.
Yeah, hm-hmm.
Any particular reason behind that song for you that's?
Yeah I read in the bible the Jesus was coming back to earth but at the time I had never really heard a sermon preached about it for all those years that I had gone to church so I decided well nobody's talking about this but it's in the bible so I'm going to write a song about it and then a couple years later it seemed like everybody was talking about the return of Christ, and I thought oh that's good, people are thinking about that now instead of imagining that christianity is just a way of life that goes on and on and that's just what you do for the rest of eternity, that people need to remember that there's not only an eternity that exists beyond this, this level that we're living on now but also Jesus is also coming back some day to stop the end of recorded history and to rewrite it with a new beginning. So that's what the song is about and em most people thought this was about world war three when I wrote it, they didn't really know what, that it was about Jesus coming back, they just thought it was about the end of the world, world war three.
Okay, yeah.
That's what people used to think about in those days. From the fifties on, you know people had, had covered over their swimming pools and made bomb shelters out of them during the fifties, 'cause they were afraid the Russians were going to attack any moment, world war three was gonna destroy the earth.
Ha you, you've probably seen it all. I dunno if Johnny Lee is with us yet, hey there John, morning..
Morning
Eh who was it, John's our traffic lean. What was, what was the phrase we said yesterday John at the end of the program when I was mentioning Larry would be with us this morning, the eh three people, the, we rattled them off earlier, the guy did the radio?
Oh the three most important people in broadcasting?
Yeah.
Ah, God number one.
Right.
Number two Marconi and, and number three you're pal 'cause he invented, you know contemporary christian music.
Hahaha Marconi.
What was that?
Yesterday when I was mentioning you'd be here this morning
Oh
He eh, he said the three most important people, obviously the Lord at the top of the heap and then eh Marconi was the guy who invented radio?
That's correct.
Okay.
And then you because you invented contemporary christian music and the, and the genre.
Hahahaha.
So eh, you're in good company.
Haha well eh, that's nice.
Where is this guy going with what? You'll get into the groove later. I'm completely whack.
Oh
All you need to know.
Okay.
That's right, John is whack.
I am from deep left centre field
Hahahaha
Usually outta the park.
How are things going my man?
It's good going west ?? ninety five south, a little slow as you're moving through Gerrard into Jersey. Forty two, a little slow at free flow on the way.......
It is six twenty nine on the morning show with Jimmy Dee and Larry Norman in the studio where we now go to Bruce on eh, caller number eight.
Yeah.
Hey Bruce.
How you doing?
Very good.
Well Larry I just wanted to let you know I thank God for your courage to take the stand that you did, when you did. I became a christian in 1979, grew up listening to all the 1970s rock bands. And so when I became a christian I kind of went away from that and someone said hey, I have someone I want you to listen to, and they gave me a Larry Norman tape. And eh, I thought well, I'm home now. So, thank you very much for your music sir.
Yeah, you're welcome, yeah.
Also if you're just joining us now and you don't know who Larry is, maybe you're new to christian music, Larry is the, the you know, kind of trunk of the tree as far as contemporary christian music goes and in a very real sense where there is even a WZZD to wake up to in the morning. He's gonna be doing a concert tomorrow night at the Christian Cinema in Ambler, and eh, we're just very pleased to be able to have him here this morning. If nothing else you can get a real history lesson as to what contemporary christian music is all about. We can chat with Larry some more this morning about that but we want to make sure we work in some songs. We were talking about Why Don't You Look Into Jesus, no, I Wish We'd All Been Ready was the one that you had mentioned before the break there so I'm gonna put that on and then we'll take some calls too, 800-991, very good.
Alright.
Alright, Larry Norman on the morning show, I Wish We'd All Been Ready. Some folks may be familiar with this one too as far as DC Talk has covered this and there's some other songs that folks have covered on a tribute album that was out a few years ago, you'll recognise some of these songs as we go along. Jimmy Dee, six thirty one.
[I Wish We'd All Been Ready]
the music anything like this kind of music for many years at the end of the song he said there's no time to change your mind the sun is coming you've been left behind behind behind the first time and we just didn't listen to me now we've been left behind in this world full of Destruction Putting readers and why should the devil have all the good music Why should they all have all the good music was covered by Jeff Moore I didn't even doing that one from all the time actually Yeah 10 years Have you had a chance to talk with the folks who covered your songs and had over 300 cover songs so I didn't get to talk to everybody doing that as far as real and having the contact you first of records me if I doing publishing for most of the years even saying the song 2:00 some of the old people you know Jack Jones is like Frank Sinatra singer Jack Jones just did I wish it all the ready as a matter of fact checking them manager my stuff came out I couldn't no crucial label would have anything to do with me I had to be on I had to be on capital records and MGM records for about 8 years 9 years because no Christian company did anything like this kind of music and they didn't even believe it was Christian for many years so when Jack Jones then it was from all their ready singer but at the end of the song he said instead of there was no time to change your mind the sun is coming you've been left behind right he said there's no time to change your mind the sons come and we've been left behind we've been up behind so he actually got the song was about Christ come in the first time and then we just didn't listen to him and now we've all been left behind in this world we've created full you know potential and destruction and so it didn't have the room in the end space now he's gone because we killed them and so it was an injection against creative liberty something made he's under a 990-9673 if you would like to go on 62864 86474 what you do is 641 on the morning show is Timothy and Larry Norman in the studio with us and doing some time together today we're going to throw on some songs here in a couple of seconds but first thing I've a couple of calls Larry yeah let's see Paul on the cell phone morning Paul social social medicine and Employment and socialised even though they are Reliant upon the government more than we are the day they reach out for garden that different wedding would do because they don't think that religious culture for someone in Holland to become a Christian is worth more frowned upon by Society than it is in our country you don't know a lot more people in England have people who got in church inside 2% and all that the percentage of people were true Christians and being less than 2% so it's much harder and more delivered and choice to become a Christian in European countries and is in America it was singing to the person that will never hurt anybody else in the same to she seems to know the Harmony and the words and everything just seems to and this is the first partner who can share life with it doesn't happen to all of us and fortunately a longing in our hearts isn't always satisfied and we always have Jesus don't find out for a while people and other countries are actually help more by their government than we are They have a lot of social social social social social social socialized medicine unemployment and socialized but even though they're reliant up on their government more than we are permitted to be the day they reach out for God in a different way than we do because they don't live in a culture that's religious culture for someone in Holland to become a Christian is worth more frowned from by society than it is in our country If you're a Christian it'll be here you get to know a lot more people but in places people who go to church is like 2% and out of that the percentage of people who are true Christians would be even less than 2% so it's much harder and more delivered choice to make to become a Christian and your pain countries than it is in America Paul thanks for calling it and it brings us out long awesome now to see John and half bro is there a job in your road and we've seen the tune of my wedding and it really met a lot to me and my wife and you've met all up to me over the years and I just wanted to send you a story to behind that phone it's exactly what a lot of us feel about falling and love with somebody who we can be with forever it is we feel in a wind observing the real love and surprised by it and we find it we're singing a similar tune into this person that we've met we've never heard anybody else singing except ourselves and so we're both singing the same tune and she seems to know the harmony and and the words and everything just seems to to fit and this is what God wants is for us to find a partner who can share our life with doesn't happen to all of us unfortunately it's it's really a longing in our hearts isn't always satisfied but we always have Jesus even if we don't find out partner for our whole life but that's what sounds about you know that's nice it's kind of just ammonia to other people too make sure calling John appreciate it what's on I'm sorry I was busy getting a couple things on a record yet I think I don't know I can't remember you and I've had like 42 or 43 albums and not tell me what I just did this last couple years and then there's other boot legs and all kinds of stuff that are out so yeah sometimes I don't know where people I know I recorded this song oh I did this song once on a lineup okay so that's probably we're here the title I didn't catch the title and we sing called the tune which is a long terrible alarm story but then there's a song which goes into it and we sing number 628 4634 number for beginners have people have written to the company next week it'll take a couple weeks another are called shaggy in the storm which is actually registered over in Europe with the fan that already here from they even putting me in my reference in the stores and so high 1975 hours finally in the label in distributed through the 1975s through this music and tell people who are against this music stuff why is he there we have to get on to to earth is the only consideration the garlic given us I didn't know the person is working in our daily at the Holy Spirit working but the father father was remote isn't sometimes my father was in music was not Christian hours completely wrong to be doing it that it was it was Evil I didn't know that God was personally working in our life daily I thought it was the Holy Spirit working but the as far as the father I thought the father God was as Romo is of sometimes felt that my father was My father did not like what I was doing he thought that this Christian music was not Christian he thought that I was completely wrong to be doing it and then it was it was evil he didn't think that I was able he just thought I'd have been trick somehow by Satan and doing this evil music and that I was going to hurt a lot of people so he didn't understand so when he would say God is our father I think well yeah I'm sure he's disappointed in me just like my dad so I think a lot of people have this problem if they have a bad relationship with their father and particular then for them to understand that God is a father full of understanding and and support it's difficult so that's what really big difference is that I found that wow I was totally wrong God loves all of us personally and intimately and and he's not angry with us he loves us that was a big shock to me after all those years have been a Christian and and leaving other people to the Lord and I knew Jesus love me but I didn't know if the father loved us too thanks for all that pretty good question wonderful things were 215-628-4634 the number 215-628-4634 said I think we have a madly still there Matt from Lime Horn just wanted to say hey and get a request in yeah now you're selling around the young lesson family enjoys Larry's music is that how you kind of done introduced to it and particularly just anything behind the song you like or just the music have a good day okay won't play it in Europe because they think that UFO is anked you know the devil has become people and you're thinking this people went out for space and I try to explain what the songs it it's just the church I mean it didn't they they they called an UFO and then and they believe it's a satanic strange you know it's going to happen completely changed in the church different countries and I can't believe I can believe people get out of your own frame of reference I mean things always done the way Americans do things with things are thought here so that's what that in here too 890-9673 from in another land are three of the trilogies Larry Norman on the morning show at 7:07 and say hey and then somebody it wasn't my idea to do it was his kids at my school to witness season in season so I was written scene to them at school and also see what you doing witness music is not right in the email I want to hear it because it's a liberating too but I was actually trying to give them something that I wasn't getting in my church was freedom did not want to experience this aspect of Christianity which was you were coming into domination from authority figures when you become a Christian you have to see yourself to people that are telling you you can wear as shoes you have to comb your hair certain why this back in the 50s and already somebody themselves into the dogs doing what they were told you but they were kids all the time actually actually actually actually actually trying to give them something that wasn't getting in my church experience which it was freedom and did not want them to think or to experience this aspect of Christianity which was you were coming into you know a domination from authority figures when you become a Christian you have to submit yourself to people that are telling you you can't wear those shoes you got to you know shine them you have to come your hair certain way and this is back in the 50s you know and most kids were already if simulating themselves into young adults by doing what they were told to do but there were kids that were genes all the time I grew up in a slum I think you would know it was a slow move to a ghetto and then I found it overcore you know and we you know we had rag and he closed blue jeans used shoes you know so but so it blacks like well you're not dressed right to come to church so I didn't want people to continue to assume what they already believed from our culture was that to be a Christian you had to have a nice set of clothes and you had to look right you had to think right and you you know there was no room for an individual personality so that's really what was embedded in these songs these songs are psychologically written to to encourage people and different levels it was that was what I felt my primary mission was besides keeping the gospel was to also offer freedom for people to let them know that but they're going to follow God they weren't going to have to follow men they're going to follow Jesus thanks for calling me now tonight come by we're chatting with Larry Norman the grandfather father whatever accounting father I guess is the best way to put enough contemporary Christian music where he's been doing it for many many years many many albums and three hours is not enough to Jammin songs and comments and all that what we're doing on our best here we're of course

[Starts over the ending to Why Don't You Look Into Jesus]
Six-o-four on the morning show, Jimmy Dee and Why Don't You Look Into Jesus. Morning everybody, we're eh pleased, happy, thankful that Larry Norman is with us in the studio. Morning Larry
Hi
Thanks for coming in
Yeah
You're even awake almost
Yeah
Larry has been aptly titled the founding father of christian music and eh, that was one of the songs a lotta folks grew up on, including myself. Larry eh, got in last night and eh, and normally I guess you're getting, you're more of a night owl so
Yeah this is not bad huh, yeah
It's not too bad though for ya
No sometimes I'm up this late just writing songs. I like, I like being up at night when everybody else is asleep, it's so peaceful
You have a good flight?
Hm-Hmm
Any problems?
No, no [Hesistantly]
Okay
We landed
That's always a positive. I dunno, maybe a good way to start would be, in a way from the beginning just to give folks a context of where you're, where you're coming from, em, people would probably recognise, eh, your first group.
Is this like a talk show, this is a three hour talk show or?
We're gonna mix in some songs as we go and
Why don't you play another song
You want me to do that
Yeah
Alright, let's do that. I have eh
It get's boring when people just talk and talk so I, I don't wanna start off their drive to work by doing this to them
Okay, alright, well we'll do that then. One of our favourites is eh Reader's Digest
Okay
Would that be cool with you?
Hm-hmm
Okay
[Reader's Digest]
Today's christian music nine ninety WZZD, Reader's Digest. Larry Norman, six thirteen on the morning show. 800-990-9673 is our number if you would like to get involved in the conversation. Eh, it's been a long eh, it's been a long week just getting ready so please bear with me personally in the first few moments just getting ourselves together. We have to actually do a little bit of a special set up for this to all happen this morning so I'm just actually testing out a couple of the buttons and stuff like that to make sure we have access to all the stuff that we need.
Larry, that's a really cool song and that's one of the ones I love to play in the morning just for the energy sake, the quick wit that comes through in your lyrics and stuff. Eh, I don't know if you remember what led you to write that song or how you got the thing together, very timely, captured the time very well, what was going on that time.
Yeah I thought about a lot of things all the time but usually a song develops only one idea for the whole song. So I wanted to eh talk about a lot of different things so I decided to write a song that I could talk about a bunch of things, not just one thing but a lot of things. So I, I wrote that song, and eh, I remember reading Reader's Digest when I was in school and I thought there's just so many articles in this magazine, so that's why I called the song Reader's Digest, because there's so many ideas in the song.
Did it take you a long time to craft the song like that, 'cause I think the lyrics are very clever?
Nah, it doesn't take any time at all. I don't know why but it's just easy to write a song. If you said go in the other room and write a song I'd just go and think oh I got an idea for a song and it just, it just comes right out.
Okay. It's interesting because you capture a lot of things in that, in that that would, you know, it seems like it would take a while to maybe come up with. You were with the group People?
Hm-hmm, yeah
Some folks will obviously know about and then eh, how long were you with the band there and...
Two years
Okay
Yeah
And then...
Yeah I couldn't find any, any eh christians that could play instruments. In fact most christians thought that rock and roll was of the devil, so really I had no way of getting a band together and then I, and then I met a couple of Jewish boys and eh one Catholic and eh, a guy who had been raised Mormon but he never had really gone to church but a few times, but so he said he was a Mormon but he wasn't you know. So it was kind of hard being in the group People that didn't understand what I wanted to do but they would, they were happy to, to do whatever. I mean I was the person that wrote most of the songs and Capitol, actually it's a good thing they started writing songs because Capitol didn't really want to release all my songs.
Hmmm
Em, so we ended up doing a lot of material that the rest of the guys had written and, but that was ironic too because a couple of years later Capitol offered me a solo contract doing nothing but christian songs. So I did Upon This Rock, did I Wish We'd All Been Ready and, and eh Sweet Song Of Salvation and a bunch of songs like that. So even though Capitol didn't like it at first they were actually the first label to ever release any christian rock music. And I'd been writing it since I was young so I felt really eh, glad that I could be on Capitol Records all those years.
So you were a christian when you were in People?
Yeah well I was five I became a christian and, and eh when I was nine I began singing at school and, and eh, and so I started talking to kids at school and getting, trying to get them to come. Actually that's why I started writing these songs, was because I couldn't get kids to come to church with me. Probably, I didn't think of it at the time was they're kids, they have to get their parents to give them permission or they'd have to get their parents to come to church you know. Ah, most nine year old kids are not gonna tell their parents I'm going to church whether you like it or not, right. So anyway, nobody would go to church with me. When I was in the fourth grade I decided I'm gonna bring church to the, to the kids, I'm gonna start singing at lunch hour. So I was very, I wouldn't say I was ambitious, it really had nothing to do with music for years. It was all about Jesus, it was about being a missionary and that's what I wanted to be, but I just started doing it at school in my own country, you know instead of going to Africa which is where I kind of thought all the missionaries used to go. 'Cause I thought well that's where the people don't wear any clothes and I think the missionaries feel that it's their job to go make 'em wear clothes and tell them about God. But I didn't see why they had to wear clothes, couldn't believe even if you had a loin cloth on? Why do you have to wear, you know.
Alright
American clothes
The innocent thoughts of a nine year old coming through. It's six nineteen on the morning show, eh Timmy Dee with Larry Norman in the studio, we're very glad he's here with us, the guy that got the whole ball of wax rolling so to speak in contemporary christian music. We're gonna throw on a couple more songs and in the near future here I'll take some calls, 100-990 Word. Em, my laptop is in another room and my laptop has all of your CDs except Only Visiting This Planet, which we just played a song from.
Ah ha
Now we could burn through all the great ones on this one and then go get my laptop. But what I think I'll do is I'll put one on here, I'll go get my laptop, we'll come back and
[Why Should The Devil have All The Good Music]
What is your, maybe this is a tough question. Is there a favourite song you have Larry or favorite group of songs that you enjoy doing or you get the most responsive or, there's so many to pick from obviously?
It just depends what I'm trying to em do at the time. You mean when I'm singing in concert?
Ah yeah maybe I'm, maybe I should ask two separate questions. Do you personally, do you have a song that you eh, you still enjoy turning the stereo on and enjoying listening to it?
I'm not usually listening to my music.
Okay
But eh, if I was gonna put on something from eh, this period you're talk, playing right now which is the sixties, from that album I would play I Wish We'd All Been Ready.
Okay, which DC Talk have covered and folks are familiar with that.
Yeah, hm-hmm.
Any particular reason behind that song for you that's?
Yeah I read in the bible the Jesus was coming back to earth but at the time I had never really heard a sermon preached about it for all those years that I had gone to church so I decided well nobody's talking about this but it's in the bible so I'm going to write a song about it and then a couple years later it seemed like everybody was talking about the return of Christ, and I thought oh that's good, people are thinking about that now instead of imagining that christianity is just a way of life that goes on and on and that's just what you do for the rest of eternity, that people need to remember that there's not only an eternity that exists beyond this, this level that we're living on now but also Jesus is also coming back some day to stop the end of recorded history and to rewrite it with a new beginning. So that's what the song is about and em most people thought this was about world war three when I wrote it, they didn't really know what, that it was about Jesus coming back, they just thought it was about the end of the world, world war three.
Okay, yeah.
That's what people used to think about in those days. From the fifties on, you know people had, had covered over their swimming pools and made bomb shelters out of them during the fifties, 'cause they were afraid the Russians were going to attack any moment, world war three was gonna destroy the earth.
Ha you, you've probably seen it all. I dunno if Johnny Lee is with us yet, hey there John, morning..
Morning
Eh who was it, John's our traffic lean. What was, what was the phrase we said yesterday John at the end of the program when I was mentioning Larry would be with us this morning, the eh three people, the, we rattled them off earlier, the guy did the radio?
Oh the three most important people in broadcasting?
Yeah.
Ah, God number one.
Right.
Number two Marconi and, and number three you're pal 'cause he invented, you know contemporary christian music.
Hahaha Marconi.
What was that?
Yesterday when I was mentioning you'd be here this morning
Oh
He eh, he said the three most important people, obviously the Lord at the top of the heap and then eh Marconi was the guy who invented radio?
That's correct.
Okay.
And then you because you invented contemporary christian music and the, and the genre.
Hahahaha.
So eh, you're in good company.
Haha well eh, that's nice.
Where is this guy going with what? You'll get into the groove later. I'm completely whack.
Oh
All you need to know.
Okay.
That's right, John is whack.
I am from deep left centre field
Hahahaha
Usually outta the park.
How are things going my man?
It's good going west ?? ninety five south, a little slow as you're moving through Gerrard into Jersey. Forty two, a little slow at free flow on the way.......
It is six twenty nine on the morning show with Jimmy Dee and Larry Norman in the studio where we now go to Bruce on eh, caller number eight.
Yeah.
Hey Bruce.
How you doing?
Very good.
Well Larry I just wanted to let you know I thank God for your courage to take the stand that you did, when you did. I became a christian in 1979, grew up listening to all the 1970s rock bands. And so when I became a christian I kind of went away from that and someone said hey, I have someone I want you to listen to, and they gave me a Larry Norman tape. And eh, I thought well, I'm home now. So, thank you very much for your music sir.
Yeah, you're welcome, yeah.
Also if you're just joining us now and you don't know who Larry is, maybe you're new to christian music, Larry is the, the you know, kind of trunk of the tree as far as contemporary christian music goes and in a very real sense where there is even a WZZD to wake up to in the morning. He's gonna be doing a concert tomorrow night at the Christian Cinema in Ambler, and eh, we're just very pleased to be able to have him here this morning. If nothing else you can get a real history lesson as to what contemporary christian music is all about. We can chat with Larry some more this morning about that but we want to make sure we work in some songs. We were talking about Why Don't You Look Into Jesus, no, I Wish We'd All Been Ready was the one that you had mentioned before the break there so I'm gonna put that on and then we'll take some calls too, 800-991, very good.
Alright.
Alright, Larry Norman on the morning show, I Wish We'd All Been Ready. Some folks may be familiar with this one too as far as DC Talk has covered this and there's some other songs that folks have covered on a tribute album that was out a few years ago, you'll recognise some of these songs as we go along. Jimmy Dee, six thirty one.
[I Wish We'd All Been Ready]
the music anything like this kind of music for many years at the end of the song he said there's no time to change your mind the sun is coming you've been left behind behind behind the first time and we just didn't listen to me now we've been left behind in this world full of Destruction Putting readers and why should the devil have all the good music Why should they all have all the good music was covered by Jeff Moore I didn't even doing that one from all the time actually Yeah 10 years Have you had a chance to talk with the folks who covered your songs and had over 300 cover songs so I didn't get to talk to everybody doing that as far as real and having the contact you first of records me if I doing publishing for most of the years even saying the song 2:00 some of the old people you know Jack Jones is like Frank Sinatra singer Jack Jones just did I wish it all the ready as a matter of fact checking them manager my stuff came out I couldn't no crucial label would have anything to do with me I had to be on I had to be on capital records and MGM records for about 8 years 9 years because no Christian company did anything like this kind of music and they didn't even believe it was Christian for many years so when Jack Jones then it was from all their ready singer but at the end of the song he said instead of there was no time to change your mind the sun is coming you've been left behind right he said there's no time to change your mind the sons come and we've been left behind we've been up behind so he actually got the song was about Christ come in the first time and then we just didn't listen to him and now we've all been left behind in this world we've created full you know potential and destruction and so it didn't have the room in the end space now he's gone because we killed them and so it was an injection against creative liberty something made he's under a 990-9673 if you would like to go on 62864 86474 what you do is 641 on the morning show is Timothy and Larry Norman in the studio with us and doing some time together today we're going to throw on some songs here in a couple of seconds but first thing I've a couple of calls Larry yeah let's see Paul on the cell phone morning Paul social social medicine and Employment and socialised even though they are Reliant upon the government more than we are the day they reach out for garden that different wedding would do because they don't think that religious culture for someone in Holland to become a Christian is worth more frowned upon by Society than it is in our country you don't know a lot more people in England have people who got in church inside 2% and all that the percentage of people were true Christians and being less than 2% so it's much harder and more delivered and choice to become a Christian in European countries and is in America it was singing to the person that will never hurt anybody else in the same to she seems to know the Harmony and the words and everything just seems to and this is the first partner who can share life with it doesn't happen to all of us and fortunately a longing in our hearts isn't always satisfied and we always have Jesus don't find out for a while people and other countries are actually help more by their government than we are They have a lot of social social social social social social socialized medicine unemployment and socialized but even though they're reliant up on their government more than we are permitted to be the day they reach out for God in a different way than we do because they don't live in a culture that's religious culture for someone in Holland to become a Christian is worth more frowned from by society than it is in our country If you're a Christian it'll be here you get to know a lot more people but in places people who go to church is like 2% and out of that the percentage of people who are true Christians would be even less than 2% so it's much harder and more delivered choice to make to become a Christian and your pain countries than it is in America Paul thanks for calling it and it brings us out long awesome now to see John and half bro is there a job in your road and we've seen the tune of my wedding and it really met a lot to me and my wife and you've met all up to me over the years and I just wanted to send you a story to behind that phone it's exactly what a lot of us feel about falling and love with somebody who we can be with forever it is we feel in a wind observing the real love and surprised by it and we find it we're singing a similar tune into this person that we've met we've never heard anybody else singing except ourselves and so we're both singing the same tune and she seems to know the harmony and and the words and everything just seems to to fit and this is what God wants is for us to find a partner who can share our life with doesn't happen to all of us unfortunately it's it's really a longing in our hearts isn't always satisfied but we always have Jesus even if we don't find out partner for our whole life but that's what sounds about you know that's nice it's kind of just ammonia to other people too make sure calling John appreciate it what's on I'm sorry I was busy getting a couple things on a record yet I think I don't know I can't remember you and I've had like 42 or 43 albums and not tell me what I just did this last couple

probably we're here the title I didn't catch the title and we sing called the tune which is a long terrible alarm story but then there's a song which goes into it and we sing number 628 4634 number for beginners have people have written to the company next week it'll take a couple weeks another are called shaggy in the storm which is actually registered over in Europe with the fan that already here from they even putting me in my reference in the stores and so high 1975 hours finally in the label in distributed through the 1975s through this music and tell people who are against this music

that are telling you you can't wear those shoes you got to you know shine them you have to come your hair certain way and this is back in the 50s you know and most kids were already if simulating themselves into young adults by doing what they were told to do but there were kids that were genes all the time I grew up in a slum I think you would know it was a slow move to a ghetto and then I found it overcore you know and we you know we had rag and he closed blue jeans used shoes you know so but so it blacks like well you're not dressed right to come to church so I didn't want people to continue to assume what they already believed from our culture was that to be a Christian you had to have a nice set of clothes and you had to look right you had to think right and you you know there was no room for an individual personality so that's really what was embedded in these songs these songs are psychologically written to to encourage people and different levels it was that was what I felt my primary mission was besides keeping the gospel was to also offer freedom for people to let them know that but they're going to follow God they weren't going to have to follow men they're going to follow Jesus thanks for calling me now tonight come by we're chatting with Larry Norman the grandfather father whatever accounting father I guess is the best way to put enough contemporary
