Scarecrow

Jesus, much like the scarecrow,
is there for protection.
The world views Jesus as hollow and lifeless;
however, He is the Light of the world for
all who have the courage to believe.
Jesus on the cross weathered the storm of
all mankind's sins.
He stood alone as a gift of love to the world.
There You stand, arms out wide
Like forbidden fruit to the squinting eye
Gather us together under your almighty wings
Bruise the head and see what tomorrow brings
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
Hand to the plow, forgiving multitudes
Give them compassion, why are they afraid of You
Proud at the altar, vain before the throne
If You are blameless then throw the stone
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
Betrayed by a friend, hung out to dry
Alone in the end, stretched across the sky
Eclipse the sun, they know not what they do
They say if God is love why would He be so cruel
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
Scarecrow all alone
Scarecrow bring your children home
