There were three on a tree
But only one climbed Calvary
To find mankind
He had us in mind
Then made the ascent that led to his descent
Fought and found us in this filthy tent
With out spread arms wooing us to his bosom
For a healing hug, love and life to blossom
World’s costliest transaction ever to be
Was negotiated on a tree of three
There were three on a tree
But only one turned Calvary
To a red river
The very first ever
Blood flowing like a fuming flood
Gushing, washing, and flushing; mud
Filth and guilt from all at the river bank
Drowned in blood, rank by rank, till it all sank
There were three on a tree
But onlyone built Calvary
Into a bridge
Fixed each ridge
To ferry humanity to divinity
From the banks of the red river drowning iniquity
The voyage from this terrestrial ball
To his celestial shore, was all
Because of the one who chose a tree
The cruel but only way to set us free
