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
