Ring True Lyrics - Poor Old Lu

'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
