Part 6 of 7

The Tree Grows

The tree grew, blood and water made it new
Its deep roots crashed through the stone-hewn grave A place carved out to hide death from mans view
Majestic living tree through death was raised

Son rose up with the sun, the dawning day
Once again, darkness was shown its boundaries
The chaos of human history held at bay
The kingdom pushed back the sea of quandaries

The soil long prepared for the planting
It brought forth much fruitful vegetation
The one on whom all our hopes were hanging
Jesus the seed for God’s holy nation

The tree grows it spreads its thick green foliage
A blessing to all who rest beneath it
