New Country Song Sure To Drive The Left Crazy
Appearing on Monday morning’s Today Show, Reba McEntire performed her new hit song “Back to God” from her new gospel album Sing It Now.
From Rolling Stone:
Combining Randy Houser and Dallas Davidson’s impassioned, pleading song with McEntire’s expert-level interpretive skills, “Back to God” makes quite the showstopper in a live setting. McEntire alternates between a hushed, vulnerable vocal style and a soaring cry, heightening the song’s emotional heft with the power of her voice.
Released on Friday, February 3rd, Sing It Now is McEntire’s first-ever gospel release, and she ended up with two discs almost by accident. It turned out to be a good problem: when she had finished recording her first batch of songs, her label boss couldn’t figure out which ones to cut. “I said, ‘So what are we gonna do?’ He said, ‘Well, lets do a double CD, one of the hymns and one of the more current songs,'” she recalls. “I said, ‘Alright!'”
This new song has already received nearly 4 million hits on Reba McEntire’s VEVO channel on YouTube. The video is embedded at the bottom of this article below lyrics.
The Lyrics:
Oh have you looked around
Have you heard the sound
Of Mama’s cryin’
Or do you turn away
When you see the face
Of the innocent dyin’
In these darkest days
Are you not afraid
That it’s too lateYou 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 GodHave you lost a love?
Do you feel like givin’ 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 knock on wood
Oh it won’t do no goodYou gotta get down on your knees, believe
Fold your hands and beg and plead
You gotta keep on praying
You gotta cry, rain tears of pain
Pound the floor and scream His name
Cause we’re still worth saving
We can’t go on like this and live like this
We can’t love like this
We gotta give this world back to GodYou 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 isWe give this world back to God
Oh, give it back
