Death In Reverse (The Mercury Sessions) Lyrics by John Mark McMillan

The Mercury Sessions

2018

[Instrumental]
[Verse 1: Sarah McMillan]
You descend upon me like s rolling stone
Like a black swan raging over all that I know
You know it unnerves me when I lose control
And I'm all out of options and I'm out of my head
[Pre-Chorus: Sarah McMillan]
And I built my life around someone who I thought that I was
But it turns out all the things I do to feel young they only make me old
[Chorus 1: Sarah McMillan]
But You raise me like a baby
Like a fiery phoenix bird
Oh, and You lift me up like Lazarus
You love me like death in reverse
[Verse 2: John Mark McMillan]
You unearth me like a vein of gold
With the powers that drive up the flowers from the fold
You cast me uncursed, unearth my body and my soul
Like fire from my ashes, like fire from my coals
[Pre-Chorus: John Mark McMillan & Sarah McMillan]
And I built my life around someone who I thought that I was
But it turns out all the things I do to feel young they only make me old
[Chorus 2: John Mark McMillan & Sarah McMillan]
But You raise me like a baby
Like a fiery phoenix bird
Oh, and You lift me up like Lazarus
You love me like death
You love me like death
You love me like death in reverse
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus: John Mark McMillan & Sarah McMillan]
And I built my life around someone who I thought that I was
But it turns out all the things I do to feel young they only make me old
[Chorus 2: John Mark McMillan & Sarah McMillan]
But You raise me like a baby
Like a fiery phoenix bird
Oh, and You lift me up like Lazarus
You love me like death
You love me like death
You love me like death in reverse
