"These Things have I spoken unto you,
that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full."  John 5:11
Lord I Lift Your Name on High
The Tree

He created the tree,
He molded and built
A small lonely hill
He knew would be called Calvery.

Then he made the seed
That would grow in to thorns
That would make his son bleed.

Then he made a green stem
Gave it leaves and then,
Gave it sunshine and rain,
And sheltered it with moss.

With tears in his eyes
God looked down in time,
Saw him spat upon,
Beaten and mocked.

Still, He grew the tree,
That he knew would be,
Used to make the old rugged cross.

Nothing took his life.
With love he gave it.
He was crucified on
the tree that he created.

With Great love for man
God stayed with his plan.
He grew the tree
that he knew would be
Used to make
The Old Rugged Cross.
