Backwards Kingdom (Live) Lyrics by Sam McCabe

Death of Death

2024

[Instrumental 0:52]
[Verse 1]
Sometimes you gotta step into the river
Before the waters part
Gotta get out of that boat
Before you know if you can walk
And faith’s a gamble on
His faithful history
Cause if you want to follow Jesus
You can’t bet on what you see
[Chorus]
Strength is weakness, weakness is strength
Living is dying, dying is gain
You get forgiveness, by giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
But when you lose it you’ll be saved
[Verse 2]
When you want to go to war
Send out the tambourines
Disorient the enemy
With the songs that you sing
We don’t fight towards the flesh
And our weapons don’t make sense
If you want to follow Jesus
You make peace with foolishness
[Chorus]
Strength is weakness, weakness is strength
Living is dying, dying is gain
You get forgiveness, by giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
But when you lose it you’ll be saved
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Backwards Kingdom
Backwards King
Build your kingdom in me
Backwards Kingdom
Backwards King
Build your kingdom in me
[Chorus]
Strength is weakness, weakness is strength
Living is dying, dying is gain
You get forgiveness, by giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
But when you lose it you’ll be saved
[Outro]
Strength is weakness, weakness is strength
Living is dying, dying is gain
You get forgiveness, by giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
But when you lose it you’ll be saved
[Instrumental 0:37]
