The Ground Is Level At The Foot Of The Cross - Blue Highway

If you measure the gain, better count the cost

'cause the ground is level at the foot of the cross

Take heart my brothers, in the world you’re lost

But the ground is level at the foot of the cross

You can judge your brother by his fortune’s size

But we’re all the same in the good Lord’s eyes

You can judge your sister by the deeds she’s done

But we’re judged in Heaven by the carpenter’s son

If you measure the gain, better count the cost

'cause the ground is level at the foot of the cross

Why gain the world if your soul’s been lost?

Cause the ground is level at the foot of the cross

Rich man, poor man, they all fade away

But they’ll all be together on the judgment day

The Poor man’s sittin' at the Lord’s right hand

Just rockin' in the bosom of Abraham

There stood the sinner and the Pharisee

A-prayin' in the temple on the bended knee

One begged for mercy, to the Lord he cried

And he met his savior on the other side

You must enter heaven as a humble man

Cast away your burdens, take him by the hand

By the grace of Jesus and his holy blood

All sins are washed in the mighty flood
