Chance For The Chancers Lyrics â Poor Old Lu
Singer: Poor Old Lu
Title: Chance For The Chancers
Certainly one of the most haunting, melodic songs that we ever wrote. I was personally completely taken by it the very first time that I heard the music, and I couldnât wait to write lyrics. The title comes from the song âHoneydripâ off of Ian McCullochâs solo album âMysterioâ. Like much of our â8th Wonderâ album, this song was written entirely in the studio during our 2-week tracking session.
A few songs over the years were lyrically driven by my family relationships, and this is one of those. Although it speaks directly to my relationship with my brother, it can also deal on more general terms, that is, those who will not listen to the truth of Jesus Christ and turn a deaf ear instead. The second verse speaks to the brevity of life, the time that we have to share the Gospel, and how difficult it can be to hear. In the final verse, however, the tables turn and the Lord is now comforting me (us) that He takes over when we share our faith with others⌠and makes the words powerful.
