In the early 70's, frustrated by the music industry's intention to dilute the impact of Jesus rock through the many religious songs that mainstream artists chose to record and the fallacious rumors that celebrities like Clapton had been saved, Larry Norman wrote various hard hitting features that magazines and papers wouldn't print. As a second line of attack he decamped to his home with a pile of recording equipment and a few friends to record a series of tongue in cheek cover version. Randy Stonehill introduces the songs in the style of an OTT egotistical West Coast DJ, The Surf Duke, and frankly this has some hysterically funny moments! Their acoustic version of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky" is absolutely hilarious! Larry's imitation of Mick Jagger on the Stones' "Shine A Light" is outrageous and the segue of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Let It Be" and "My Sweet Lord" is suitably respectful . until we get to the disco break in the latter song and Larry again adopting Mick Jagger mode starts singing, "I'm So Bored". Call me iconoclastic but these songs deserve to be ripped apart! After the Clapton rumors of conversion which surface every five years or so, "Presence Of The Lord" is given a straight rendition although it's worth bearing in mind Larry reports that Clapton wrote it to express escaping from the police who wanted to bust him for drugs! This CD release closes with two bonus tracks which did not appear on the original vinyl release. This time they're introduced by Larry's Big Bomber DJ alter-ego on Radio K.R.A.P. and include another great Mick Jagger impersonation on "I Am Waiting". Mischievous yet making an important contribution cataloging counterfeit "Christian" culture.

LYRICS:
------------
Saw you stretched out in room ten-o-nine
With a smile on your face
And a teardrop in your eye
Ooh, I couldn't seem to get a light on you
My sweet honey love.

Thought I saw you jangling down the street
???? turn your eyes at every woman that you meet
Could it be I's high on you
????

May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Ooh, yeah, like the evening sun.

When you drunk in the alley
With your clothes all torn
And you need someone to lead you
In the cold grey dawn
Hmm, I see so many flies on you
I just can't brush them off.

Angels beating their wings in time
With smiles on their faces
And a teardrop in their eyes
Oh, I thought I heard one sigh for you
Come up now, come up now
Come up now, come up now.

May the good Lord shine a light on you, na, na, na
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Oh yeah, like the rising sun.

Come up now, come up now
Come up now, come up now

May the good Lord shine a light on you, na, na, na
Make every song you sing your favorite tune, yeah!
May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Oh, like the morning sun.

May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la, la
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Oh, like the evening sun.

May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Oh, like the evening sun.

May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, la, la, la
Oh, like the evening sun.
Yeah!
