Part 5 of 7

The Tree Watered

The rod sprouted and grew up as a child
As a carpenter, he built with his hands
The meaningful middle of the Bible
As God, he began to build the new land

The good man was struck down, dressed in purple
Crowned with thorns, as men ate good and evil
Power-hungry vultures then did circle
The jealousy of his life was lethal

The tree of life that once had been cut down
Now worked with man’s tools, made into a cross
and raises up the man who was so crowned
Those there saw the moment when all was loss

Water and blood flood the roots of the tree
The meaning of the thing not yet perceived
