Cruciality Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Another one of the last songs written for Mindsize, it became our first real single (though 'More' was the [D]first official single, it was [G]not promoted as such). Within a few weeks, Cruciality hit
number one on one of the popular Christian charts. Dur[D]ing a show in Irvine, CA, our record label presented us with a plaque to commemorate the event.

[Verse 2]
'Cruciality' was one of the few pseudo "politically- minded" songs that we had. The [Em]intent of the song was not to put a[C]nyone down, however,
but show that our fo[Em]cus needs to be set upon our walk with the Lord, and sharing His love with those around us. When we focus on outside issues, such as environmentalism, we risk taking our eyes off of the [G]Most Important [D]One. [Em]Are [C]these issues bad? No. Not nece[D]ssarily, but Jesus needs to be t[Em]he focus.

[Verse 3]
Inside my selfish [G]thinking
In the middle I'm always [D]sinking
I am so far down I [Em]can't [C]escape[D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]But all around the trees
[G]are falling
Too much sunshine comes [D]in
And so I wait [Em]another [C]day[D][C]

[Verse 5]
What is brightest [D]in my life
[Bm]And what will I re[Em]ceive[C]
(tomorrow)
If I'm Spirit [D]filled will I be so [A]content
(so content with sorrow)
Crucial is my mind [C]on
[D]Chr[D#]ist
So much He had [Em]to (He had to die)

[Verse 6]
Buildings empty, standing [G]tall
Precious people breathe [D]and fall
What will you have when
[Em]all is t[C]hrough?[D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Or maybe then I save the sea
[G]For other people after me
[D]Instead I am never liv[Em]ing now[C][D]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Turn my eyes and to the stars
[G]Is there life so very far?
[D]Or better is there any ver[Em]y nea[C]r[D]

[Verse 9]
[Em]It is this so understand me
[G]Christ gave so we can be fre[D]e
And will I wait an[Em]other [C]day[D]

Is [D#]this [D]life?

[Verse 11]
[Em]This world's already gone
[G]This world needs the[D] Son
But we have so many [Em]things to [C]do?[D]

[Verse 12]
[Em]And so enough of flower power
[G]Step on ways that make [D]us sour
We cannot wait an[Em]other [C]day[D].[C][D]
