The Ground Is Level At The Foot Of The Cross

Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 'Cause the ground is level at the foot of the cross [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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
