C F
The tree for the cross was standing
C G7
Tall and strong on a lonely hillside
C F
And the leaves began to tremble
C G7 C
At his presence when Jesus walked by
F
Then he turned and he looked on its beauty
C G7
There were no trees so tall and so strong
C F
And there all among the tree's branches
C G7 C
The birds sing a beautiful song
G7 C
Then he stopped and he prayed beneath the shadow of the tree
G7
Because he loved you and me
C F
The hand that formed and fashioned the tree
C G7 C
Would be nailed to the same to save you and me
F
Then one day an army of soldiers
C G7
Made him carry the tree away
C F
Transplanted it there on Calvary
C G7 C
And His love light still shines there today
G7 C
Yes he knelt and he prayed beneath the shadow of the tree
G7
Because he loved you and me
C F
Yes the hands that formed and fashioned the tree
C G7 C
Would be nailed to the same to save you and me
G7 F C
They were nailed to the same to save you and me
