Hard to nail down a favorite but this is definitely on that list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lost art form that has never been truly duplicated. Larry Norman, whose first LP was in 1969 is often credited as being the the one who started it. There's no doubt that the Lord☝️ used him as one of the very first. It was during a revival period called the "Jesus movement." I am grateful to have gotten saved during it. You chose a vintage song from a classic LP! "In Another Land" is the best-selling album of Larry Norman's career. It was released in 1976 by Solid Rock and distributed through Word. Many have been touched by his music ministry over the decades, including myself. He definitely inspired and influenced future Christian artists. But he was unique. Down to earth and hilarious, at times. There was only one Larry Norman. Thanks for posting this song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life all around is crumbling I think this world is stumbling Maybe you think I'm wrong, now But this is my only song, now I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on my gym playlist for a reason! Gets me going! He was a true trailblazer. He brought about a lot of change and was harshly criticized and judged for it. I think he is my favorite artist. Really like the song Six O Clock News too. And Why Don't You Look Into Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
