The Man Upon that Tree
I stare and ask
Who is that upon that tree?
He seems crushed and smitten
He seems to be weak and powerless
Who is that upon that tree?
Your followers call you the Christ
Your enemies call you Beelzebul
Who is that man upon that tree?
His name is Jesus of Nazereth
Born of a virgin
Fully God and Fully man
Who is that man upon that tree?
The King of kings,
The Lord of lords,
The Christ.
Who is that man upon that tree?
Jesus Christ who died for me
Jesus Christ who paid the penalty of my sin
What happened to the man upon that tree?
He rose again on the third day
He ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father
Who was the man who died upon a tree and rose again?
Jesus of Nazareth:
The Messiah,
The King of kings,
The Lord of lords,
The Creator,
God.
