Liberator - Essential 3 

The third volume of Essential comes loaded with great songs. This CD digs into the personal and emotional side of Larry's compositions. These songs are about the struggle to be free. We live in bondage to our jobs, to the pain of our early years, to difficult relationships. Larry writes about the need to be liberated, both through Christ and through self-permission. There's a fair bit of humour in some of these songs, and spiritual joy despite to human ordeal.
