The Chosen Tree

Before time I was chosen to be “the tree” to bear Our Lord to Calvary

I grew as Our Master’s sojourn began.

And when the time had come, they came for me,

my duty to perform.

To hold Our Lord high between the earth and the sky,

For His purpose in coming was to die.

His flesh they did tear as they merged us flesh and wood.

There we stood, The Creator merged to His creation-

To fulfill His Divine purpose- to save man’s lost soul. 

I did all I could.

I was stricken when I came to know that My Lord’s blood over me would flow.

The earth rebelled and rent itself, because Our Lord’s blood saved man we came to know.

It is finished.  Victory is won.  God in the flesh has overcome.

Heaven has regained God’s Only Son.
