Words CHUCK LAWRENCE
“As Creator of all things, God made everything on earth for a purpose. You see, it was always His plan that His only Son would die for the sins of mankind. So he created the minerals that, forged together, would become the spear used to pierce His side. He created the brambles and the briars from which would be fashioned a crude crown of thorns that would pierce the flesh of our Savior’s brow. And He alone would create the tree which would become a cruel instrument of torture and death. Upon that tree, His ultimate expression of love would be offered.”
He Grew The Tree
He molded and and built a small, lonely hill that He knew would be called Calvary; Then He made the seed that would grow to be thorns that would make His Son bleed…Then He made a green stem, gave it leaves and then gave it sunshine and rain, sheltered it with moss, He grew the tree that He knew would be used to make the old rugged cross. Nothing took His life, with love, He gave it; He was crucified on a tree that He created! With great love for man God stayed with His plan, He grew the tree so that we might go free!
With tears in His eyes God looked down thru time Saw Him spat upon, rejected and mocked, Still He grew the tree that He knew would be used to make the old rugged cross. Nothing took His life, with love He gave it; He was crucified on a tree that He created. With great love for man God stayed with His plan He grew the tree so that we might go free!
