Larry Norman yeah [Spoken by compere] Yeah. I, I’ve been here before. This is earth, right? [Spoken] Well my life is filled with songs But I just could not get along without my friends And I'm happy now but when this good life ends I know a better life begins And love to Randy Stonehill With his guitar full volume on his amp He’s so crazy but he knows it And I still love him as we both crawl toward the lamp With Clapton on guitar Charlie Watts on drums (buh tss) McCartney on the Hofner bass With blisters on his thumbs Dear Dylan watch your fears all hide And disappear while love inside keeps growing Oh let it keep growing You're older but less colder Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing And someone died for all you friends But even better yet he lives again And if these songs do not make sense to you I hope his spirit slips on through He loves you He loves you, God loves you And if these words do not appeal to you I hope his spirit slips on through You know Jesus loves you He loves you, wa-ha

Before men got a hold of uh rock and roll, took it away from the church and got a hold of things like heavy metal and turned them into devices for confusion and unrest and biting bats heads off with their buh and eh you know, fake blood capsules dripping down their face and, and eh the the creative things that men do to good things that God has given us. Eh men made music by taking whatever leaves of grass they could find around them and stretching them between their hands and blowing whistles, or creating pipes from hollow eh twigs and and eh and before music became very polished with 48 track machines and you know, before MTV, people sat around and made bad music like this. And it was, it was good because it was bad. We’re gonna mix and match this Spanish guitar with that electric guitar with that acoustic grand piano. Just imagine you’re just coming down the street and you’re walking by some boys and eh, and they’re albinos. And they’re singing the blues you know. [Spoken] My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll But moving and a grooving it does not satisfy my soul So when I’m down I go off on my own And when I feel the need I dance before the throne Take it easy, nice and slow Feel his presence, don’t you know If he says follow, I will go I feel like dancing ‘cause he saved my soul Goliath had a sword, David had a stone But I have got the Lord and I am not alone So if you knock me down Brother I will not fight you back ‘Cos God loves all his children Red, white, yellow, brown and black Take it Charley, take it My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll But moving and a grooving, it does not satisfy my soul So if I’m down, brother I go off on my own, yes I do And when I feel the need I dance before the throne Hey we're rockin' ​More vocals [Spoken]

I live in LA. You know, when you live in the darkness it’s easier to see a thousand points of light. Yeah I hea, I heard some rumours about me, rumours that I had backslidden, that I wasn’t a christian. That I, I wa, you know I was following the devil and em taking drugs and ah I was very upset to hear these things. So I asked around and I found out it’s not true. [Spoken]

I had a baby out of wedlock Her old man got me in a headlock I was an unwed father But don't bother feeling sorry for me I took a lot of LSD I smoked a lot of mar-ja-weenie But it did not help me It did not set me free Jesus, why'd you go and do it Why’d you help someone like me You saved me, you forgave me And I swear you set me free You know you took away my problems One by one I guess you knew what you were doing When you sent your son You know the way that I was living It was like taking without giving And I hurt a lot of people And I lost my friends I spent just a little time in prison But now I know the Lord is risen And now I never need To be locked up again Oh Jesus, why'd you go and do it Why’d you help someone like me You saved me, you forgave me And you know you set me free You kinda took away my problems One by one And now I know you knew what you were doing When you sent your son

I was so down Just hanging around Wondering what to do When suddenly I was surprised from out of the blue The birds sang their song as I walked along I suddenly felt quite odd ‘Cos out of the sky fell a note from Mr God And it said You got the blues but you can shake it If you have faith you can make it You have a chance You must take it while you can Don't give up hope Never lose it You got a choice but you must choose it And that's what it said on this note from Mr God Ah ba la la etc Yeah this is a song about this man who’s walking down the street and he’s had a little bit too much to drink, for about twenty years. And he sees this piece of paper on the ground and he picks it up and it’s just a, it’s just a piece of paper somebody dropped out of their bible. It’s kind of a tract you know, one of those things that somebody writes down their, their ideas about how to explain God to somebody else they want to give this piece of paper to and this person just drops it on the ground and this guy picks it up and he starts reading and thinks this is about me. How could anybody know about me? Except for God. And that’s why he thought this was a note from God. And it wasn’t. But he thought it was. But it wasn’t. But he thought it was, and that’s what’s important. You know what happens when you start getting involved with God. Your life starts changing and you start getting kinda happy and you know, kinda messes up your viewpoint of life, you kinda change your perspective and, and the first thing you know you’re so glad that things have changed in your life you wanna go tell all your friends about it, and that’s what this guy did. He wanted to go back and tell all of his friends that he found this note from God and it said [Spoken] You got the blues but you can shake it If you have faith you can make it You have a chance So you must take it while you can Don't give up hope Never lose it You have a choice but you know, you got to choose it And that's what it said on this note from Mr God So if you feel down With your chin on the ground And suddenly you feel odd Well just look all around look down look down on the ground you some might see some kind of piece of paper floating around might just be a note from Mr God

Ah they're, they're filming this tonight, which must be why all these lights are on, which must be why it's hotter than it was this afternoon, which must be why I didn't think of bringing a towel to, 'cos it wasn't so hot this afternoon. Anybody have a spare towel on them? You know I think this mic, I'm not complaining 'cos this is very good equipment, I know that 'cos it's not even banged up or anything. But this is not rock and roll, this is, oh US army. Be all that you can be. Yeah I think they used to drop some, something like this, an earlier version of this, during the war, they used to drop these outta planes on the enemy. Eh because the, the enemy couldn't here these coming, when we dropped 'em. So could you either turn this microphone up louder or turn the lights down lower? Well I'll ju, I'll just sing folk music, it don't matter. [Spoken]

Could you turn this one on if you've turned it off, 'cos now somebody needs it up here? It's not working. [Larry spoken] Well that's ok, I'll just play louder. [Charles Norman]

I think it's time for the Jesus movement, the one that started two thousand years ago, the one that was foretold of almost six thousand years ago. I think it's time for something to happen. Uh, something is happening around this area. I'm curious about this area. I, I wonder what's going on 'cos something's going on. Maybe you don't feel it 'cos you live here. I live in LA. You know, when you live in the darkness it’s easier to see a thousand points of light. Yeah I hea, I heard some rumours about me, rumours that I had backslidden, that I wasn’t a christian. That I, I wa, you know I was following the devil and em taking drugs and ah I was very upset to hear these things. So I asked around and I found out it’s not true. [Spoken]

This is a rock song that, I recorded this on Capitol Records in 1969 and I had the flu. I had a hundred and three temperature the day this was tracked, that they they, the musicians came in. And they weren't gonna stop the session even though I wasn't there. It's just the way that company always was. They did worse things to the Beatles and eh. This is a song about life, about coming to a pla, a place where you're not sure if there is a God or not, but you kinda think there is. And you kinda think something's been happening in your life and it's kinda his fault, because things are starting to turn out differently than they have before. And you've been thinking about God a lot. And you've been kinda halfway talking to him. And it seems like there's a line, an invisible line right in front of you. And you wanna walk across it, and you wanna go in this direction for the rest of your life, because it's so beautiful to contemplate this movement within your life that seems to be coming from, from God. But you're not sure. I don't know what you're not sure of, you're not sure ah, you're serious enough to keep on going or what if you cross the line and nothing happens. It, it's just, it's about this moment of contemplation, of indecision, anticipation. This is how I feel for kids that in the CCPC program. My offering. [Spoken]
