Poor Old Lu - Cruciality lyrics

Another one of the last songs written for Mindsize, it became our first real single (though 'More' was the first official single, it was not promoted as such). Within a few weeks, Cruciality hit #1 on one of the popular Christian charts. During a show in Irvine, CA, our record label presented us with a plaque to commemorate the event. 'Cruciality' was one of the few pseudo "politically-minded" songs that we had. The intent of the song was not to put anyone down, however, but show that our focus needs to be set upon our walk with the Lord, and sharing His love with those around us. When we focus on outside issues, such as environmentalism, we risk taking our eyes off of the Most Important One. Are these issues bad? No. Not necessarily, but Jesus needs to be the focus. Inside my selfish thinking In the middle I'm always sinking I am so far down I can't escape But all around the trees are falling Too much sunshine comes in And so I wait another day What is brightest in my life And what will I receive (tomorrow) If I'm Spirit filled will I be so content (so content with sorrow) Crucial is my mind on Christ So much He had to (He had to die) Buildings empty, standing tall Precious people breathe and fall What will you have when all is thru? Or maybe then I save the sea For other people after me Instead I am never living now Turn my eyes and to the stars Is there life so very far? Or better is there any very near It is this so understand me Christ gave so we can be free And will I wait another day Is this love? Is this life? This world's already gone This world needs the Son But we have so many things to do? And so enough of flower power Step on ways that make us sour We cannot wait another day.
