Forward In Reverse
[Verse 1]
I found a haystack in a needle
I caught an angel in a lie
I saw a hypocrite in heaven
Remove a log from both his eyes
I saw an anvil float on water
Water running up a hill
An old cheater keep his promise
And his hands outside the till
[Chorus]
I saw the last get in first
I saw the best in the worst
By moving forward in reverse
And back again to love
Holy, holy love
[Verse 2]
I saw a shepherd king free-falling
Off a throne of mud and straw
He landed on a bed of nails
Proclaiming “Love’s the only law”
I saw a dead man who’d been buried
Walk around outside his grave
The ones we’re told are not worth saving
Are the ones now being saved
[Chorus]
I saw the last get in first
I saw the best in the worst
By moving forward in reverse
And back again to love
Holy, holy love
Back again to love
Holy, holy love
Back again to love
(Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love)
Holy, holy love
[Outro]
I found a haystack in a needle
I caught an angel in a lie
