[Lyric] The Tree For The Cross (Stonewall Jackson)

The tree for the cross was standing
Tall and strong on a lonely hillside
And the leaves began to tremble
At his presence when Jesus walked by

Then he turned and he looked on its beauty
There were no trees so tall and so strong
And there all among the tree's branches
The birds sing a beautiful song

Then he stopped and he prayed beneath the shadow of the tree
Becausе he loved you and me
Thе hand that formed and fashioned the tree
Would be nailed to the same to save you and me

Then one day an army of soldiers
Made him carry the tree away
Transplanted it there on Calvary
And his love light still shines there today

Yes he knelt and he prayed beneath the shadow of the tree
Because he loved you and me
Yes the hands that formed and fashioned the tree
Would be nailed to the same to save you and me
They were nailed to the same to save you and me
