Backwards
by Chris Sligh

Album: Mighty Roar - Healing Flood


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 ... 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

Bridge:
How can it be that I should gain
From your death and all of Your pain
Amazing love, amazing grace
You chose 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
