He grew the tree for
Golgotha Hill
Gave them strength to
build the cross
Held enough love to
conquer all
Father's will was for
good not for loss.
He grew the tree of
thorns
That entwined the
piercing crown
Platted and embedded for
my Savior's head
As the soldiers mocked
and frowned.
He grew the reed for His
beating
So humbly for us He did bear
As they nailed Him to the
rugged cross
For us, His heart was filled
with care.
Holding on to the love of
His Father
As the blood flowed from
His side
By the mark of the
cross came salvation
Forgive them, in
agonizing pain He cried.
At the foot of Jesus' cross
Mary lay lamenting in great
despair
To be near her only
darling Son
As she embraced the
cross in prayer.
Thank You for our salvation
May we with humility bear our
cross
That one day we'll wear a
crown
Our burdens will be for gain
not for loss.
Our loving Savior formed the
tomb
And the stone soon to be
rolled away
For the great Resurrection Day
What a glorious, precious Day!
How the angels of heaven
Must have rejoiced that day
When the stone was rolled away
There our Savior no longer
lay.
Risen and reigns
in Heaven's Glory
Wearing His robe of
shining white
Sitting on His throne of
intercessions
The way, the truth and the
light.
The heavy tree for the cross
The tree for the piercing
crown of thorn
The reed for His cruel
beating
Our Tree of Life to evermore
warn.
When we think of Easter
An humbling time of year
Praise Him as the Tree
of Life
Our precious Savior so dear...
