Thanks for this special page to Larry & for your special song. He truly is the "Grandfather" of Christian Rock & took a lot of heat back in "the day". I will always appreciate him. I played for my Congregation my favorite "The Outlaw". Blessings, Al Ray,

LIKE NO OTHER: My tribute to Larry
by Stan C. Countz

VS 1
He was too rock for the holy rollers
and he was too holy for the rockers
Larry brought a fresh new sound
But he gave no ground to mockers

VS 2
His voice rose above the clamor
He was a meek and humble servant
He never sought glory or glamour
But he was especially observant

CHORUS
He asked questions no one ever thought to ask
He was street level and he didn’t wanna lose it
He never put on airs nor would he wear a mask
Why should the devil have all the good music?

V3
He was shot down and kicked around
And people scandalized his name
He pioneered a new music and sound
We as a body should be ashamed

V4
Today’s rockers may not know it
But he was more than he appeared
They may not say it or show it
But Norman was a true pioneer

BRIDGE
He paved the way for those who came after
He endured the scorn, the shame and laughter
But he stayed true ’til the last and final chapter
of his all-too-short story
but he gave God all the glory

CHORUS

OUTRO
He gave his best and he gave his all
He answered when the Spirit called
There will never be another brother
Larry Norman was like no other
