This world says ‘Keep’
Our God says ‘Give’
This world says ‘Me’
Our God says ‘They’
This world says ‘Kill’
Our God says ‘Die’
This world says ‘Ours’
Our God says ‘Mine’
Welcome to:
The Upside down Kingdom
Where servants sit on thrones
Where The last become the first
and the greatest are unknowns
This world ignores
Our God restores
This world breeds pride
Our God gives life
This world it hates
Our God forgave
This world will pass
God’s Word will last
Welcome to…
Jesus, King of the upside down Kingdom (3)
