Poor Old Lu - More lyrics

rate me

As one of the last songs written for Mindsize, we chose to put it as the first song that many people would ever hear of us. It also became our very first "official" single, being packaged with Mortal's "Rift" on a 7" single. In retrospect, More was not a great first single, nor a great way to start an album. It simply did not have the 'punch' that we would've liked.

This song is about abundant life in Christ. It is also about missing the wonderful opportunities that are available to us in the Lord. As we live for ourselves, we miss out on so much. As we live for the Lord, we see how much He desires to bless us!

Oblivious to some things more in store

And when I wept I knew not what

or when or why what for

Is this earth so great though it will not last

Through crashing walls what stands is

one good thing one way one chance

And glimmer shining up and through the floor

Will run and hide and fade

just like He said it would before

And now my head is really spinning fast

I lived it all for me

and now it simply moved right past

Seeing, revealing

More is here today

Distance, no wisdom

I pushed true life away

"Wonderful" have I missed and I ignore

And "terrible" was my word

and was my life I became poor

Self was in my hands and then it passed

I'm left with picture perfect thought

of what we think we have

Imagine when I found I'm no savior

Imagine when I knew and saw

and fell before the Lord

Myself none of any good my world crashed

I lived it all for me

and so it simply moved right past.
