There’s a tree

On Calvary

And they say it’s set me free

There’s a Man 

Who calms the sea

And they say that He loves me.  

There’s a tomb

That has no body

There’s a seal 

That has been broken

There’s a soldier who believes

That the Son of God has spoken

And if, upon that Cross,

As the final breath 

Was breathed,

The thief just to the side

Was in truth redeemed—

What then does this mean for me?

There’s a Shepherd 

In the Heavens

Who once came down to men

And lived among the poorest

As a Mentor and a Friend

When my darkest moment rises

And it tells me 

I’m not enough

The empty tomb reminds me

Of His almighty Love

And the third day bears the witness

Of the power He has to save

The power over death

And power ov'r the grave. 

There’s a tree

On Calvary

And they say it’s set me free

So at the cross I’ll meet the Lord

Who loves me endlessly.
