The tree that saved us all


ON THE TREE THAT SAVED US ALL

IT WAS DONE ON A HILL OF DEATH,

IT WAS DONE AFTER 30LASHES,

IT WAS DONE TO THE INNOCENT.

HE WAS SPIT ON,

HE FORCED TO CARY A HEAVY LAOD ON HIS TORN TENDER BACK,

HIS CLOTHES WERE GAMBLED ON,

HE HAD THORNS PRESSED INTO HIS HEAD AND MOCKED AS A KING.

THEY HAMMERD NAILS INTO HIS HANDS AND BASHED THEM INTO HIS FEET,

THEY JABBED HIS SIDE WITH A SPEAR,

THEY CLOSED HIM IN A TOMB THAT HE ROSE OUT OF THREE DAYS LATER.

HE WAS JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD.

HE HUNG ON A CROSS FOR US,

HE HUNG ON THE CROSS TOSAVE US FROM HELL,

HE HUNG ON THE CROSS SO THAT IN HEAVEN WE COULD DWELL.
