Order # A-6911
Once upon a tree, a good man died,
And though He did no crime, He was crucified.
If the story ended there, I would have no song to share,
But my heart will ever sing the story.
Once upon a tree, so the story goes,
And all its mystery surely no one knows.
Could the Father’s will be done through the suffering on His Son?
And there comes the answer, “Once upon a tree.”
For God so loved the world, He gave His priceless pearl.
What greater love could there be?
He died, He rose again, still the story doesn’t end,
For His spirit is living in me.
What tale of human love could there ever be told?
What song could compare with the one I hold?
Through everything I am and through everything I’ll be,
Let me sing my story: “Once upon a tree.”
Once upon a tree.
