Verse 1

Sometimes you gotta step into the river
Before the waters part
Gotta get out of the boat
Before you know if you can walk
Faith’s a gamble on
His faithful history
Cause if you want to follow Jesus
You can’t bet on what you see

Chorus 1

Strength is weakness
Weakness is strength
Living is dying
Dying is gain

Chorus 2

You get forgiveness
By giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
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
Make peace with foolishness

Chorus 1

Strength is weakness
Weakness is strength
Living is dying
Dying is gain

Chorus 2

You get forgiveness
By giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
When you lose it you’ll be saved

Bridge 1

Bridge 1

Backwards Kingdom
Backwards King

Bridge 2

Form Your Kingdom in me
In me

Chorus 1

Strength is weakness
Weakness is strength
Living is dying
Dying is gain

Chorus 2

You get forgiveness
By giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
When you lose it you’ll be saved

Chorus 1

Strength is weakness
Weakness is strength
Living is dying
Dying is gain

Chorus 2

You get forgiveness
By giving it away
When you save your life you’ll lose it
When you lose it you’ll be saved
