New Tree of Life

His Blood has quenched the flaming sword
That barred us from the Tree of Life,
And Eden’s Tree has been transformed
By Him—brings light to Eden’s night.

His light removes the shade from death
Which now becomes His open door
To life beyond on Spirit’s breath
For those who come with spirits poor.

Those poor within will open be
To Spirit from the Father breathed
Through Him who we will always see
In Body, Blood to us bequeathed.

New Tree of Life with Body, Blood,
Appears on altar for us laid–
Becomes for us New Eden’s food
When words of Bridegroom for Him said–

For here we celebrate His feast
In Church, His Bride, that’s to Him wed
As He with each of us will meet,
And we’ll rise with Him from the dead.
