The BRUCE Gang: Audio/Video

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Wrote this for Missions Sunday 2005.

Verse 1
A fervent prayer with sweat like blood
A healing in the midst of pain
A trial at night a friend betrayed
A glance that cut the human heart
These are the things that lined the road
To the place where He would die
His death would give us hope
I am thankful for

Chorus 1
The tree of life the rugged cross
That lifted up the Son of God
The wooden beams the iron nails
That held Him there upon the tree of life

Verse 2
A scarlet robe a crown of thorns
A reed to hold with His right hand
An angry crowd Barabbas frees
Their cry Let Him be crucified
These are the things that lined the road
To the place where He would die
His death would give us hope
I am thankful for

Chorus 2
The tree of life the risen Christ
He is the life the ransom price
His perfect life was given up
That we might gain the tree of life
