Reba McEntire – Meanwhile Back At The Cross lyrics

The devil laughed and said I've won
God has lost his only son
The brightest star no longer shines
Finally his world is mine
Then he gathered all his demons near
Said we have conquered love with fear

Meanwhile back at the cross
All is not lost
Forgiveness is bought with each drop of his blood
That falls to the ground
Mercy abounds
As Mother Mary's tears fall down
To see her precious son pay the cost

The devil said we'll use their pride
We'll attack them from inside
Fill their hearts with vanity
Til their differences are all they see
Black and white, rich and poor
To justify their holy war

Meanwhile back at the cross
All is not lost
Forgiveness is bought with each drop of his blood
That falls to the ground
Mercy abounds
As Mother Mary's tears fall down
To see her precious son pay the cost


Take a look around
Turn on the evening news
The devil said there's no way in hell
Am I gonna lose
Hate is everywhere
Love cannot be found
It took me two thousand years
But it's almost over now

Meanwhile back at the cross
All is not lost
Forgiveness is bought with each drop of his blood
That falls to the ground
Mercy abounds
As Mother Mary's tears fall down
To see her precious son pay the cost
At the cross
