The Lexi Contest Tree

In my garden there stands a tree 
Its roots and leaves grow free
The changing seasons on you I see
Lord Jesus I believe 

That you are a the creator of all things 
But how sad was Satan’s sting 
He had eves heart on a string 
So entered into the garden sin

But God then sent His only son 
A precious journey that has begun 
To make his precious children one 
And every battle for us He has won 

There upon that hard cruel tree
My Jesus gave His life for me 
As I bow on bended knee
I truly am set free 

And now in heaven He will take His place
Let’s all pick up on the pace 
The goal of this good hard race 
Is to see His glorious face
