Couplet 1

I’m a shady guy
As you can see
Not much liked
By my family
Tax my neighbours
For the enemy
Then I take the same
Amount for me
A preacher came to town
From Galilee
So I climbed a tree to see
And not be seen

Refrain

Upside down
He turned my world upside down
He turned my wrong into a right
He turned my darkness into light
He turned it upside down

Couplet 2

Jesus stopped and looked
Right past that crowd
He said Zacchaeus
Come down here right now
I have business at your house tonight
That will set your frozen heart alight
He told me to repent
And follow Him
Then pay back what I’d stolen
From my friends

Refrain

Upside down
He turned my world upside down
He turned my wrong into a right
He turned my darkness into light
He turned it upside down

Couplet 3

Well I paid back four times
What I owed
And released my heart
From a heavy load
So although I'm small
I can now walk tall
I've been shown the way
That's the best of all
It's better now to give than
To receive
And obeyin' Him has truly
Set me free

Refrain

Upside down
He turned my world upside down
He turned my wrong into a right
He turned my darkness into light
He turned it upside down

Refrain

Upside down
He turned my world upside down
He turned my wrong into a right
He turned my darkness into light
He turned it upside down
He turned it upside down
