CLOWN OF GOD
(Lyric)
Why do you turn from me,
stumble and run from me?
Why do you take love
and shrug it away?
I tenderly cared for you,
lovingly shared with you;
gave you a picture
of what life could be.
And you took it
and broke it,
and when you’d revoked it,
you laughed at my tears
like a child at a clown.
Laughed like a child at a clown.
What more can I do for you,
how can I get to you?
How will you hear me
with hearts cold as stone?
Is there a place in you
where I can speak to you?
What will you do with
the image of God?
Will you take it
and change it,
and laugh while you break it?
Laugh at my tears
like a child at a clown?
Laugh like a child at a clown?
Then, do as you will with me,
break me and laugh at me.
Hang me in shame
on your fair-weather tree.
But know as you turn away,
stumble and run away;
death is the goal you are seeking today.
It’s death you are seeking today.
As you take me and break me
my Spirit will shake you
and love will surround you
wherever you go.
I’ll love you wherever you go!
