A Better Me Lyrics - Singles - Poor Old Lu

This song is definitely one of the 'filler' tracks on the album. Never played in concert (that I can remember) and hardly ever mentioned by anyone. What is it's strong point (if any)? The bridge. This song's bridge remains one of our top 5 favorites. Strange, but true. 

The focus of this song lyrically is on *our* focus. Based on 1 Corin 10:23, "All things are permissable, but not all things are beneficial." We have such freedom in Christ, but in striving after the Lord our focus needs to remain on the things above, what is good, what is righteous. We can spend time looking backward to mistakes we've made, things we've done poorly, but are they beneficial in our walk? The Lord desires to build us up in Him, and that means our gaze must remain upon Christ. 

do you and I have time to spare 

to wonder why and is it fair 

who is it that makes me frown 

I'm inside out and upside down 

I say we can 

I say we can, but we might not be 

a better man, a better me 

what was it you used to say 

better shut your mouth and look away 

I've been thinking about yesterday 

I'm still thinking about yesterday 

inside 

it creeps and bites 

my thoughts and head 

my patience dead 

and low 

it grows and holds me 

loves to hate me 

so irate I... 

I say we can 

I say we can - but we might not be 

a better man, a better me
