chris sligh – backwards lyrics
[verse 1]
outlandish love, how can it be a perfect king chose death to prove
in death to self, true life begins and i receive by what i lose?
the mystery of grace: you pursue even when i turn away
[chorus]
you turn me around, everything upside down
and i see clearly now there’s only after
you overcame my curse and put death in reverse
gave imperfection worth
you turn things backwards
[verse 2]
forgotten wrong, how can it be that fallen man is lifted up?
the worst of all forgiven still and hope alone is hope enough
the paradox of grace: you pursue even when i turn away
[chorus]
you turn me around, everything upside down
and i see clearly now there’s only after
you overcame my curse and put death in reverse
gave imperfection worth
you turn things backwards, backwards! …
[bridge]
how can it be that i should gain
from your death and all of your pain
amazing love, amazing grace
you chose me even though i turned away
how can it be that i should gain
from your death and all of your pain
amazing love, amazing grace
you chose me even though i turned away
even though i turn away!
[chorus]
you turn me around, everything upside down
and i see clearly now it’s only after
you overcame my curse and put death in reverse
gave imperfection worth
you turn things backwards, oh-ooh
[outro]
you turn things backwards, backwards, backwards
you turn things around, god
