Larry Norman's death
(Preview)
When my husband and I heard the news that Larry had gone home to Jesus we were both sad and excited- Sad for us and the world Larry had so much affect on but excited that Larry is able to be with Jesus full time. We found ourselves melancoly at the news but realized Larry was there at the important dates in our...

Larry was such an influence on my life and music - Happy Homegoing Larry
(Preview)
To the Norman family and all the fans of Larry: Larry made us question, "what is right in God's eyes?" and "What's really real in terms of a life of faith?" He did this by writing thought provoking songs that touched us all so deeply. He thought outside the typical 'Christian B...

You Impacted My Life in a Great Way
(Preview)
I was saved 30 years ago and Larry, your music helped to build my faith. I loved the song "I Wish We'd All Been Ready". It scared me just enough to keep me on the straight and narrow. You were the first Christian artist I related to. Thank you for the beauty you brought to us all. I can only envy yo...

Larry Norman
(Preview)
I have seen a few concerts in my lifetime but one that affected me in such a variety of ways was a concert that I attended while in college. I had heard the music of Larry Norman from a friend, although I knew "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" before. I enjoyed the concert but was amazed that a man wit...

To all the family of Larry: Larry will be missed. I am sure that he never really knew what a profound impact his music had on my spiritual life. There was a time in my life when I had strayed from the path and my life was a mess. I happened on one of Larry's songs, "Why don't you look into Jesus?"...

(Preview)
To say that Larry was different is not a large enough word to describe him or his life. I found an avenue daily beyond prayer and Bible study for the Lord to draw me to Himself and that was in the music of Larry Norman. He had a way of writing lyrics and music that would make me search my heart, see the depravit...

To the family and friends, a heart felt hug of encouragement. As a fan from the 60's on, I feel a great sadness, but also a great joy. I am so glad for the final words Larry left. Words that leave great encouragement, spiritual wealth, and direction. Larry's life impacted mine early on. As a youngster I ha...

Larry started something bigger than life...he woke the sleeping musical soul. Certainly he may not have forseen every direction Christian music has gone - and may have been disappointed with some - but he knew that music came first from God, as does every good thing! Thank you Larry, friends and fam...

How fittingly simple are the words that Larry chose to leave us with. We are all prizes to our heavenly Father... prizes to be cherished... to be longed for... and to finally be had. We'll all miss you, but now heaven has it's "righteous rocker" and the amps just got turned up to 10! "O...

I loved Larry Norman, a brother in Christ, a superior songwriter and musician, and a beautiful person. He touched my life so much - he made me laugh, he made me sing, he made my soul soar with joy in the Lord, he truly set my soul on fire. The security that comes with Christianity is that we can be sure that...

I want to express my condolencences to the family of Larry Norman. I first heard Larry's music in 1976. I followed him faithfully, reading interviews by him and listening to so much of his music. This was during a time where I struggled deeply with depression and wondered about God. Larry was more o...

Thank You for the Music

I don't know what to say. We are so many that loved his music and songs. His lyrics have made more impact on me than the most of the books I have read and preachers I have heard. I saw him live only once when he visited Sweden in the end of the 80's. My thought goes to his family and close friends, may God giv...

Touched by the raw honesty of Larry's Lyrics
(Preview)
Larry's music showed me the face of the real Jesus while I was at Uni and in my late teens. His songs reflected kingdom values. He sang of the things that Jesus spoke and cared about. He helped me meet him. I sit here in tears, grateful for what he gave me, mourning for the loss of a man I never really knew, an...

RE: Larry's Words Still Haunt

Much of my childhood was spent listening to Larry Norman. His words and music profoundly shaped the way I saw the world. His lyrics opened up new vistas, and his social consciousness was provocative. I've been listening to his music and watching youtube videos of Larry the past 24 hours. I miss him...

To all at Larry Norman.com No words can really express my love and admiration for a man who has been part of my psyche since the early 70s, and a tremendous influence on me musically and spiritually throughout that time.

Hi Larrys family! My name is Tarvo Laakso and I work as a pastor in Finland. They call me rock-pastor and I think that Larry showed me something that leaded to preach and sing as I do. We were warming Larry and Alwyn Wall Band 1976 (?) here in Tampere. I really want to thank my saviour Jesus that Larry could...

He kept me from dying so many times
(Preview)
I survived the dark years and clung to Jesus largely because of the example set by Larry. His music helped in dying to Christ, enough to barely survive and keep on. Understanding came much later about being crucified with our Lord; Larry's life showed us all about that. Now he sings in the Holy Rose...
