Poor Old Lu - Receive lyrics

rate me

As I look back, 'Receive' is one of the most complete and well-rounded songs we had. Unfortunately, we only played a handful of shows after "8th Wonder" was released, so it never became a huge concert hit that it normally would've been. The times that we were able to play it were great. I've also felt that 'Receive' is one the most representational songs for the typical "Lu" sound!

This is another one of those songs that can really be wrapped up in the chorus, that is, "receive". Through our sadness, depression, angst, whining, and whatever, we really need to just "receive" Christ. Is that to say that some of these issues (that is depression, or anger) are not real? No, but Christ needs to be first and the constant problem solver in all things. When we go to Him, we find there is so much joy and peace that He is desiring to fill us with. Amen.

tell the jury

tell the judge

tell the world

mom and dad

you are sad

check your name

check your head

I've heard more joy

from some

someone dead

are you He?

did you die on a tree

and I can't help

it makes me think

made of dirt

full of greed

like a thief

making life in robbery

made a crown

for the pain

and it falls on your mind

like so much rain

receive

too close

too far

too insane

receive
