Scarecrow
Bride Lyrics

Jesus, much like the scarecrow, is there for protection.
Jesus, just like a scarecrow, is there to protect us from harm.

The world views Jesus as hollow and lifeless; however,
Even though the world thinks that Jesus is empty and without life,

He is the light of the world for all who have the courage to believe.
He is, in fact, the light of the world for all who are brave enough to have faith.

Jesus on the cross weathered the storm of all mankind's sins.
Jesus bore the burden of all of humanity's sins while on the cross.

He stood alone as a gift of love to the world.
He was all by himself, a gift of love to the whole world.

"There you stand, arms out and wide Like forbidden fruit to the squinting eyes
You stand there with your arms open wide, like forbidden fruit, to those who cannot see clearly.

Gather us together under your almighty wings
Bring us all together beneath your powerful protection.

Bruise the head and see what tomorrow brings Hand to the plow, forgiving multitudes
Crush the enemy's head and see what the future has in store. Keep moving forward, forgiving everyone.

Give them compassion, why are they afraid of you
Show them compassion, and yet they are still afraid of you.

Proud at the altar, vain before the throne If you are blameless throw the stone
Proud at the altar, but vain before the throne. If you are really without sin, then go ahead and cast the stone.

Scarecrow all alone Scarecrow bring your children home
Scarecrow, you are all by yourself. Bring your children home to you.

Betrayed by a friend, hung out to dry
You were betrayed by a friend and left out to dry.

Alone in the end, stretched across the sky
You were all alone in the end, stretched out across the sky.

Eclipse the sun, they know not what they do
You made the sun disappear, but they do not understand what they are doing.

They say if God is love why would He be so cruel
They wonder why God, who is supposed to be loving, would be so cruel.
