Jonny Diaz's song "Upside Down" explores the counterintuitive nature of following Christ, where true freedom is found in surrender and losing one's life leads to finding it. The lyrics reflect on faith in the unseen, loving enemies, and receiving grace through the cross, which flips worldly values upside down. The song emphasizes that giving everything away and finding joy in pain reveal a kingdom where the last are first and the lost are found. It's a thoughtful, encouraging reflection on the paradoxes of Christian discipleship.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
The only time I've been free
Is chained to You as You lead
Learning how victory
Starts with surrendering
Yeah, it might seem strange
But it's no less true
That my whole world
When I'm following You
Is upside down in every way
I keep finding out every day
That losing my life is
The only way it can be found
Yeah, it's upside down
Having faith in what's unseen
Loving my enemies
I've been given what I
Haven't earned, 'cause You
Took the cross I deserve
And that's upside down in every way,
I keep finding out every day
That losing my life is
The only way it can be found
Yeah, it's upside down
Giving all I have away
Finding joy inside the pain
Where last is first
And lost are finally found
It's upside down
And I'm finding out
Is upside down in every way
I keep finding out every day
That losing my life is the only way
And it's upside down in every way,
I keep finding out every day
That losing my life is
The only way it can be found
Yeah, it's upside down
Yeah, it's upside down
