His Cross becomes a warrior’s sword,
And with it death was slain;
Both sin and death now know their Lord
Who one of us became.
His purpose was to cut the chains
Of sin bound us to death;
To freedom for us all proclaim–
Restore His Eden’s health.
For sin and death infected earth
When we in Adam fell,
And all creation needs re-birth
To save all from death’s knell.
Now Jesus rises from the dead
In grave Old Eden leaves;
And He is now exalted head—
New Eden His breath breathes.
His Spirit creates new again
And Paradise re-born;
A world forever free of sin,–
No longer we’re forlorn.

Tree of Life
A gnarled old tree in our backyard
Reminds us of our elder years
When we our dying leaves discard,
And we God’s voice can better hear.
We see the world is meant to be
A place where we’re for heaven formed,
And we learn here to bend our knee
To Jesus–saves from Satan’s harm.
And we like tree will someday fall
To disappear into the ground;
Yet we are to our Father called
Where new life grown from old is found–
Then we will rise in garden new
In Paradise where we are saved,
Where Tree of Life grows ever new:
With family, friends we Jesus praise!
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
