Poor Old Lu - Ring True lyrics

'Ring True' is probably the most "intentionally" worshipful song that Lu has. Written just before recording 'Sin' (and finished up in the studio), it is probably most notable for its raw sounds, catchy groove, and the fact that Aaron sings lead vocal. 'Ring True' happened to be one of the most successful singles that Lu ever released and was always a fun song for live shows. Though 'Ring True' features Aaron on lead vocals, the lyrics were still written by Scott (who wrote all of the Poor Old Lu lyrics *except* 'Army Guy', which was written by Nick and Aaron). Shortly before laying down the vocal tracks, Aaron was facing some writer's block and asked Scott to the lyrics, if possible. 45 minutes later, or so, 'Ring True' was ready to sing. Very few Poor Old Lu songs contain lyrics as blatant and joyful - a testament to the fact that they were "divinely inspired". With emphasis on "truth", "thankfulness" and "reliance upon Him", 'Ring True' continues to be a great song to close your eyes and lift your hands to. what is this? thru strange and bad it does not touch this joy i have what is this? thru future, past and now or then only love will last oh, these words ring true to me love the Maker crown the King who gives us all and makes me sing count my blessings on my knees so thankful for all everything oh, these words ring true to me my strength is dead i hope instead in what will be in what we'll see my strength is dead i hope instead on every word He's said this is real and this is good to trust in truth now as i should give the glory give the pain and let the fall build me again oh, these words ring true to me oh, these words ring true to me my strength is dead i hope instead in what will be in what we'll see my strength is dead i hope instead on every word He's said who gives us all (who gives us all) and makes me sing so thankful for (so thankful for) all everything my strength is dead i hope instead in what will be in what we'll see my strength is dead i hope instead on every word He's said who gives us all (who gives us all) and makes me sing so thankful for (so thankful for) all everything
