Foolish Shepherd

Lyrics

I've seen the beads upon your brow Beneath the noonday sun Strainin' at your buried plow And the work that's never done You're proud of all the things you've seen And the strength of your arm and hand But instead of a shepherd's crook and staff Now you wield a whip and brand Your Father's heart is broken And still, you are His son But you yourself have turned your back On the vic'try Jesus won I can feel His Spirit cryin' For your blindness and your pain He's drawin' you with cords of love To find His rest again The flock of God are children still They're His Body and His Bride Now I see you beating them In your anger and your pride He gave His Word for freedom You use it to enslave But when God has become your enemy Tell me, who'll be there to save? Standin' in the darkness A sound comes on the wind Music, joy and laughter And it's callin' you again Your brother's there rejoicing With your father and his friends And now it's up to you To turn around and go back in In the end, it's up to you To turn around and go back in
