Turning Tables

words by Mitch McVicker & Ray Boltz,
music by Mitch McVicker

It'd been some time
since you changed that water to wine.
So when you stepped in to bring that robber's den to an end
hearts were filled with a burning pride.
But a fire kept burning inside you.

Chorus
Consumed with the truth, you started turning tables.
Your love for your father, had you turning tables.

We'll never be the same.
You're pushing us from our comfortable place.
Our cluttered hearts are being rearranged.
Though we burn with ourselves sometimes,
you are burning us with your fire.

Chorus

Everything in life turned upside down.
The darkest night has been flipped over and over.
Sin is disappearin', somehow. You have turned the tables
and I'm overwhelmed by you.

Chorus

From Mitch:
"When Jesus was running folks out of the temple besause they had turned it into a first century Wal-Mart, something was going on inside of him that none of us quite understand. When I get angry, I am never holy. My fury is never sacred. However, Jesus' anger was. Jesus' fury is. Jesus began turning tables in the temple just as he has turned the tables on sin and turned the tables on our perception of the world."
