Verse

The one they call Messiah ran into the temple
Started making room for all the blind and the crippled
And Oh, how the tables turned
He threw out all the liars from the place of praises
So all could join the singing of children and the babies
And Oh, how the tables turned

Chorus

They said, “Show us Your credentials” he said, “Let me ask a question”
He put them on the spot then they started second guessing
And Oh, how the tables turned
He taught a new commandment to every ear that heard Him
Said religion was quite useless if we don’t put each other first
And Oh, how the tables turned (x2)

[Reference: Matthew 21:12-13]

Bridge

Then the plot was thickened by an angry mob
The ones who cheered hosanna now cursed the son of God
They shouted crucify, spit upon His brow
Wrapped him in a purple robe, thorns became His crown
It was time for celebration, time to bring the Lamb
