He will be missed.

To the family, I'm sorry for your loss but happy for heaven's gain. I saw Larry many years ago in concert in Witchita, Ks. I have many of his albums and listen to them often. I was sorry to hear of the loss and heard about it today on the Southern Gospel Network radio. I will continue to pray for you and May God...

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...

That day, Larry had travelled, for many hours, to get to the Boston area, and his travel group had arrived late. Larry had helped with set up, performed for several hours, was swarmed by hundreds se...

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 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...

He kept me from dying so many times

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...

Larry's music had an influence on me shortly after I became a born-again Christian at age 16, nearly thirty years ago. He spoke to my soul that sacred music could be made in the contemporary medium and remain relevant decades later. I am a better man, lyricist, songwriter, and Christian due to his t...
