Of all the Poor Old Lu songs to show up on Napster in great number, this one did. I always found that strange until I heard that there was also a band called Slipknot. I can only imagine all those people who downloaded this song thinking it was the other band! Very amusing.
As the brief text in the album cover eludes, this song is directed primarily towards the topic of 'indifference'. Our indifference, of course, keeps us from many great things in the Lord. Reaching out to others, more effective ministries, better friendships, better marriages, and so on. We must take our attitudes of indifference before the Lord so that He may change our hearts. He is willing and able.
and fear
how it often seems to be all you hear
like a siren that just fills up your ears
will you let it show you what you hold
oh, so close
and confused
i think i keep the devil amused
when i believe that his lies are true
but beyond the haze i know
which glory remains
my need i seek
in this hope i own
Majesty, i see
indifference is cold
and hate
it seems to run this world just great
will they turn on time or roll in too late?
there's no turning round
on our knowledge now
and pain
does it fall upon your life like rain?
it will not kill or make you insane
just don't bow your neck
to the cutter's blade
my need i seek
in this hope i hold
Majesty, i see
indifference is cold
and fear
is it ever, ever all you can hear?
like a siren that just fills up your ears
would you let it go
and throw your arms to Christ, so close
my need i seek
in this hope i own
Majesty, i see
indifference is cold
