Forward in Reverse
from the album "Dig Here Said the Angel"
Music by Daniel Amos, Words by T.S. Taylor

I found a haystack in a needle
I caught an angel in a lie
I saw a hypocrite in heaven
Remove a log from both his eyes
I saw an anvil float on water
Water running up a hill
An old cheater keep his promise
And his hand"s outside the till
I saw the last get in first
I saw the best in the worst
By moving forward in reverse
And back again to love
Holy, holy love
I saw a shepherd king freefalling
Off a throne of mud and straw
He landed on a bed of nails
Proclaiming 'Love"s the only law'
I saw a dead man who"d been buried
Walk around outside his grave
The ones we"re told are not worth saving
Are the ones now being saved
Chorus
