Shot Down

Shot Down

 

I've been shot down, talked about,

Some people scandalize my name,

But here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same.

I've been knocked down, kicked around,

but like a moth drawn to the flame,

Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same.

---

I've been rebuked for the things I've said,

For the songs I've written and the life I've led,

They say they don't understand me but I'm not surprised,

Cause you can't see nothin' when you close your eyes.

They say I'm sinful, backslidden, that I have left to follow fame,

But here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same.

---

You wanna talk about my life, hey listen to me,

You've got your facts all backward, one-two-three,

And spreading rumors and gossip is a real bad game,

The only name to spread is Jesus' name.

---

I've been shot down, kicked around,

But like a moth drawn to the flame,

Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus brother,

Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus sister,

Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same.

It is such a travesty of how the Media has basically Ignored Larry all of these years.
 Someone with such a talent was never silenced, but he wasnt given the props he deserved (not that he wanted them) while alive.

It is things like this ignoring is a big reason why there arent more people in church, and will likely never go.

It is a giant reason for many millions.

We have no inclination of filling a collection plate for the establishment, and refuse to do so.

Rest in Peace Larry,
You have Definately Earned it!
