Not Like Us
A mother fights on through a sea of hands
Fists are raised with no loving glance
She looks on up at a crucifix in her way
The greatest symbol of love transmogrified into hate
Into hate!
And a wash of anger in her heart takes place
With our judgmental view that change our Father's face
When all she needed was a love she never knew
Where we see one heart beating, He sees two
Where would we be if Jesus thought like us?
Would He hang upon a cross?
Would He leave a throne to be a servant for unworthy souls?
Live with perfect love and truth?
Take our punishment that was due?
Would He ever say "Father forgive them for what they do?"
What they do
A man struggles with the problems of his life
Never much for God but maybe now it's time
The church door bares the latest political sign oh no
Realizing maybe God and him don't align
Don't align?
Then a wash of fear in his heart takes place
When our personal view cloud our Fathers face
When all he needed was a safe place he could run
Where we pick one side He picks none
Oh where would we be if Jesus thought like us?
Would He hang upon a cross?
Would He leave a throne to be a servant for unworthy souls?
Live with perfect love and truth?
Take our punishment that was due?
Would He ever say "Father forgive them for what they do?"
What they do
He loved the undesirable and the poor
Gave peace to the meek and hope restored
Stood up for a woman condemned to be stoned
Let a friend betray Him and then be sold
He picked cowards to represent His grace
He was mocked, hit and spit in the face
From beggar to soldier His heart was the same
And theses are the people who cursed His name
What if we put down our fists and our signs
And see through His eyes
Through His eyes
Eyes
Through His eyes
Through His eyes
Where would we be if Jesus thought like us?
Would He hang upon a cross?
Would He leave a throne to be a servant for unworthy souls?
Live with perfect love and truth?
Take our punishment that was due?
Would He ever say "Father forgive them for what they do?"
Thank you Jesus you're not like us
Thank you Jesus you're not like us
Thank you Jesus you're not like us
Thank you Jesus you're not like us
Fists are raised with no loving glance
She looks on up at a crucifix in her way
The greatest symbol of love transmogrified into hate
Into hate!
And a wash of anger in her heart takes place
With our judgmental view that change our Father's face
When all she needed was a love she never knew
Where we see one heart beating, He sees two
Where would we be if Jesus thought like us?
Would He hang upon a cross?
Would He leave a throne to be a servant for unworthy souls?
Live with perfect love and truth?
Take our punishment that was due?
Would He ever say "Father forgive them for what they do?"
What they do
A man struggles with the problems of his life
Never much for God but maybe now it's time
The church door bares the latest political sign oh no
Realizing maybe God and him don't align

When our personal view cloud our Fathers face
When all he needed was a safe place he could run
Where we pick one side He picks none
Oh where would we be if Jesus thought like us?

Would He leave a throne to be a servant for unworthy souls?

Thank you Jesus you're not like us
Thank you Jesus you're not like us
Thank you Jesus you're not like us
Thank you Jesus you're not like us
