Meanwhile Back At The Cross - Reba McEntire

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
