Back to God

I have always liked Reba McEntire. I like every song she has ever sung and written. This song I chose to share today is because of the condition of our world is in today and it really speaks to me. To be honest the lyrics are self explanatory and say exactly how the words make me feel, so I won’t be adding my own thoughts but I still want to share it with you, because the message is clear. Let us give this world back to God.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, have you looked around
Have you heard the sound
Of Mama’s crying
Or do you turn away
When you see the face
Of the innocent dying
In these darkest days
Are you not afraid?
That it’s too late

[Chorus 1]
You gotta get down on your knees
Believe, fold your hands, and beg and plead
Gotta keep on praying
You gotta cry, rain, tears of pain
Pound the floor, and scream His name
‘Cause we’re still worth saving
Can’t go on like this, and live like this
We can’t love like this
We gotta give this world
Back to God
[Verse 2]
Have you lost a love?
Do you feel like giving up?
Has your heart been broken?
Are your kids okay?
Will they come home safe?
Do you lie there hoping?
You can make a wish
You can knock on wood
Ohh, it won’t do no good
[Chorus 1]
You gotta get down on your knees
Believe, fold your hands, and beg and plead
Gotta keep on praying
You gotta cry, rain, tears of pain
Pound the floor, and scream His name
‘Cause we’re still worth saving
Can’t go on like this, and live like this
We can’t love like this
We gotta give this world
Back to God
[Interlude]
[Chorus 2]
You gotta get down on your knees
Believe, fold your hands, and beg and plead
Keep on! praying
You gotta cry, rain, tears of pain
Pound the floor, and scream His name
‘Cause we’re still worth saving
Can’t go on like this, and live like this
We can’t love like this
You can hope the best
Make a wish
The only answer is
We give this world back to God
Ohh, give it back …
