"The Great Commission" ...go ye therefore into all the world...

Before God Created A Flower

Before God created a flower

He saw his child bending down

To delight in the wonder of a beautiful smell

To wonder and ponder the mystery it tells

He thought it much better to quietly show

That there had to be someone, a father, you know

Who created a flower, who created a child,

A child who would ponder and then who would smile

A child who could look at a flower and tell

That it wasn’t a flower at all, it was, well,

It was love, it was reaching, it was telling the world

God created a flower to blossom a soul.

When God's Love Fails

When God’s love fails

There will be no more reason

To go to the world

And to tell of his seasons

His seasons of caring

His ages of toil

His patience in harvest

His joy in the soil

In the fruit slowly growing

Like grapes on a vine

In the reaping of preciousness

Ripened by time

When God’s love fails

There will be no more reason

To go to the world

And to tell of his seasons

Second Coming... Till Then

Someday the clouds will spread apart

And I’ll see in the sky

What I have waited for so long

What I’ve believed and for which I’ve cried

Someday the clouds will disappear

And all things will be plain

I’ll see him clearly coming down

To take me to his kingdom reign

Till then the kingdom’s on the ground

Till then the clouds above

Till then I’ll tell of coming love

But I’ll believe in what I’ve found

His kingdom, down on earth.

Disappeared Into The Illusion

There once was a guy

With long, blonde hair

That blew in the wind -

With only one care

A guitar in his hand

And a light in his eyes

A heart that beat brave

A passion that cried

And his soul knew no bounds

Born to rock and to roll

He sang what he loved

He wrote from his soul

His voice carried vision

His God was enthroned

In a heart that unchained

All the rules we had known

This guy that I love

With the long, flowing hair

Called us to follow

And we did, and we cared

But more than his face

Has now disappeared

Sometimes you still see it

When an idol appears

For He represents all

That was lost long ago

We think we still have it

But it left with our souls.

Disappearing like smoke

The illusion is here

But where in the wind

Is our long, flowing care?

About Larry Norman, the founder of contemporary Christian music

The Kingdom of God

Is the Kingdom of God

Now on earth, did we die?

Did we miss all the rapture

Of a cloud-rolled-back sky?

Did Jesus return?

Did we miss him again?

I’m so tired of waiting

Is that why we began

To celebrate reigning

In our kingdom on earth?

Did he come, does he miss us?

Is his Kingdom the earth?

So Many Steps To You

The footsteps of the first, first church

Can be traced, my love, to you

You gave your all to keep it pure

Passed down the scroll in time, in truth

There is honor for you in the steps you’ve trod

So many steps to you

There is blessing and honor for you in your call

In the churches of Christ there is truth

Such a passion for keeping so close to his word

Such a passion - a gift that is rare

Such obstinate faith every word is inspired

The scribes, yes, you are, of the heart of his truth

So many steps from the ancient of days

The scribes kept each syllable pure

They guarded each word, they gave up their lives,

And the path that they walked led to you

The churches of Christ were handed the scrolls

At the gateway of Old and of New

Entrusted with passionate care for his Word

There have been so many steps till you
