Why Should The Devil Have all the good musicians?

He was a legend of humble stature
He was a warrior who fought for what was right
Maybe it was his heart, maybe his nature
But he never lost his God given sight.

Couldve been a household name
Couldve been known for his influence
They said, only if he didnt sing of spiritual things
Why couldnt he just ride that fence?

Instead this man of God did horrible things
He preached on the streets no matter his fame.
Christians said he has a devil, listen to him sing
Yet he turned his back on those who tried to glorify his name.

He only wanted one name to see Glory
It was the name of Jesus Christ
But for him it was the SAME OLD STORY
He was SHOT DOWN and ridiculed for not being right.

He preached and insisted on feeding the hungry
Offending many with these words.
They say he speaks to harshly
About FEEDing THE POOR.

Finally after years of disparaging
Nobody could now explain their contempt
Generations past with many bands out there singing
Songs that at one time only he would attempt.

He is a pioneer who led the way
Ahead of his time, he fought for what he believed
Forever his music, influence and visions are here to stay.
Many dont know he suffered for what he achieved.

Although, one thing is definitely assured
His heart, his humor, and his fortitude
We all will always be admired and remembered
Every time anyone plays his TUNEs

His last words Goodbye, farewell, well meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky.
I pray that you will stay with God
Goodbye, my friends, goodbye.

We all will miss this man so fervent
Take comfort knowing he heard those long awaited words
Well done my good and faithful servant
As he entered in to the Joy of the Lord

WHY SHOULD THE DEVIL HAVE ALL THE GOOD MUSICIANS?

He was a legend of humble stature

The honesty in Larry's music was truly inspired by God. He impacted millions with his Jesus centered message of repentance and hope during the 70's. Even today the Spirit filled lyrics still rings out in a world filled with hopelessness and despair. He will be missed but "We'll see ya in heaven".

    It is so good to know , Larry was fihgting for the greatest of all causes; namely that GODs enemy should no longer have all the good music , and

MUSIC is the LANGUAGE of the SOUL, that communicates the GOSPEL over all cultural and language-barriers.

" Thank you LORD for LARRY ! ! ! "

Thank you Larry and Thank you Jesus!
