Turned Downside Up
by Belinda van Rensburg

I have a song in my heart and a spring in my step;
I know without a doubt that Jesus died in my stead.
He took and drank the bitter cup,
now my life's been turned wholly downside up.

I finally opened wide the door of my heart
and that very moment I was given a new start;
a new beginning and a brand-new song
to sing to my Savior my whole life long.

The words of my mouth and the thoughts in my mind
are no longer cruel but they're loving and they're kind;
My heart is filled with love and adoration
Oh, what a liberating, glorious sensation!

I feel so relieved; my burdens are all gone
and I hop and I skip and I dance all day long;
there's no holding back; I am flying, I am free -
I've come out of the darkness, and now I can see!
