He Grew the Tree

He moulded and built

a small lonely hill,

that He knew

would be called Calvary.

Then he made the seed,

that would grow to be

thorns that would make

His Son bleed.

Then He made a green stem,

gave it sunshine and rain

and sheltered it with moss...

Yes, He grew that 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 a tree that He created.

Great love for man,

made God stay with His plan....

He grew the tree

so that we might go free.

Happy Easter Everyone!
