Leeland, Opposite Way

Living in the same town...
For all these years,
Doing the same...old...things-
Hanging with the same crowd...
And it’s starting to get crippling...
You’ve never felt...in...place,
And you tell yourself it’s all...O...K-
But something’s different to-day,
You want to run the opposite way-

And it seems like you’re locked in a cage...
And you need to find a way...of...escape-
When everyone is setting the pace,
It’s okay to run the opposite way.

The Father sent His Son down...
...The light of men.....
The cross He bore was crippling...
Rejected in His own town...
They couldn’t see the sun...shining-
He knelt in the garden....and prayed...
..."Father, let this cup pass...from...me...!
It’s not Your will for me...to...stay,
Your will for me's the opposite way."

And it seemed like He was locked in a cage...!
...And He couldn’t find a way...of...escape,
But through the cross He conquered the grave!
My Jesus ran the opposite way!

Ohhhhhh yeaaaaah!

Oh and through the cross He conquered the grave...!!
...Oh, He ran the opposite way!!
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave,
So you could run the opposite way...!
