[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I saw a shepherd king free-falling

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]

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

Back again to love

Holy, holy love

Back again to love

Holy, holy love

[Outro]

I found a haystack in a needle

I caught an angel in a lie
