Lyrics John Mark McMillan – Death In Reverse

You descend upon me like a rolling stone
Like black swan raging on for all that I know
You know it unnerves me when I lose control
And I’m, all out of options

Then I build 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

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

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

And I build 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

But You raise me
Like a baby
Like a fiery Phoenix bird
Oh, and You lift me up
Like Lazarus

And all my life I’ve been
Fighting for a place I could thrive
But it turns out
All the things I do to survive
They only make me old

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
