The Tree for the Cross

歌詞

The tree for the cross was standing Tall and strong on a lonely hillside And the leaves began to tremble At his presence when Jesus walked by Then he turned and he looked on it's beauty There were no trees so tall and so strong And there all among the tree's branches The birds sing a beautiful song Then he stopped and he prayed beneath the shadow of the tree Because he loved you and me The hand that formed and fashioned the tree Would be nailed to the same to save you and me Then one day an army of soldiers Made him carry the tree away Transplanted it there on Calvary And his love light still shines there today Yes he knelt and he prayed beneath the shadow of the tree Because he loved you and me Yes the hands that formed and fashioned the tree Would be nailed to the same to save you and me They were nailed to the same to save you and me
