Receive Lyrics - Poor Old Lu

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
