    Another song that reminds me of the deception many have placed
    themselves under... (some of the words may be wrong - it's more than a
    decade since I listend to the record ;')
    
    
    		Forget your Hexagram
    		~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    					(c) Larry Norman - c~1967
    					(from the album "Upon this Rock")
    
    Forget your hexagram,
    	you'll soon feel fine.
    
    Stop lookin' at the stars,
    	you don't live under the sign.
    
    Don't mess with gypsies,
    	or have your fortune read.
    
    Keep your table on the floor!
    	and don't you listen to the dead!
    
    
    You can't - hitch-hike your way to heaven,
    	the devil's closed the road.
    
    You live once, you die once,
    	with no re-incarnate episode.
    
    You can't hitch-hike to heaven,
    	or get there by just being good.
    
    The rules were set down long ago,
    	when the spikes went in the wood!
    
    	Heaven is in your mind,
    		when Love is in your heart.
    
    	heaven [?] will change your mind,
    		but first you have to start...
    
    You can't hitch-hike to heaven,
    	or get there by just being good.
    
    The rules were set down long ago,
    	when the spikes went in the wood!

    Hey Harry,
    
    Good to see another Larry Norman fan in here!  You must really be (or
    at least have been) a fan to remember that song.  I haven't listened to
    him in quite some time, but he was my very favorite when I was in
    high school so loong ago (the garden?  Nevermind :-) ).
    
    Don't feel bad about being a little fuzzy on the words of Forget Your
    HExagram.  I was at one of Larry's concerts almost ten years ago out
    here.  It wasn't a very big crowd, so he asked for requests from the
    audience.  Someone actually requested Forget Your Hexagram sort of 1/2
    seriously.  Larry just laughed and replied that he forgot the words to
    it.  Then the guy requested Blue shoes White, then Larry just laughed
    and ignored him from then on out.
    
    BTW, does anyone know how he is doing these days?  I heard that he had
    a pretty severe heart attack about 3 years ago or so.
    
    Cheers,
    Guido

    Paul,
    
    I agree - Keith Greens death was such a loss. It's funny, last night I
    started reading his biography again - it's stirring me up already. I
    think my favourite song of his is this one:
    
    Do you see, do you see
    All the people sinking down
    Don't you care, don't you care
    Are you gonna let them drown
    How can you be so numb, not to care if they come
    You close your eyes and pretend the jobs done
    Bless me Lord, bless me Lord
    You know it's all I ever hear
    No-one aches, no-one hurts
    No-one even sheds one tear
    But He cries, He weeps, he bleeds
    And He cares for your needs
    But you just lay back and keep soaking it in
    Oh, can't you see it's such sin
    'Cos He brings people to your door
    And you turn them away as you smile and say
    "God bless you, be at peace"
    And all heaven just weeps
    'Cos Jesus came to your door - you left Him out on the street
    
    Open up, open up, and give yourself away
    You see the neeed, you hear the cries so how can you delay
    God's calling and you're the one
    But like Jonah you run
    He's told you to speak but you keep holding it in.
    Oh, can't you see it's such a sin
    
    The world is sleeping in the dark
    But the church just can't fight, 'cos it's asleep in the light
    How can you be so dead, when you've been so well fed
    Jesus rose from the dead, but you
    YOU CAN'T EVEN GET OUT OF BED
    
    
    Don't we need that kind of a voice in this generation!!
    Love
    Ben
