Poor Old Lu – More lyrics

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.
