Lyrics

City Upside Down

I’ve looked past all the things my eyes have told me
And I’ve known more than my ears have ever heard
For the Spirit of the Lord my God is in me
And He’s shown me the reality of His Word

I know He wants to change our cities
And I feel the burden of 10,000 souls
And a raging war is never pretty
But our armor’s strong and God was said to go

(Chorus:)

We have the spirit of the apostles
And as they did we move to claim this ground
The city all around us is in an uproar
And we’re the ones who’ve turned it upside down

Paul and Silas went to Tessalonica
They went to preach and open up the Word
They told of Jesus’ death and resurrection
And they made sure that everybody heard

They weren’t afraid to preach the words of Jesus
To confront the spiritual darkness that was there
We must understand that the world needs us
We’ve been given the Spirit of God and the Word to share

And it’s together we go, we’ve got the Word we all know
The words of Jesus we’re to preach the gospel wherever we go
And the glory of the Lord is all we’ll see
