A calm day in the woods
Chaos in Jerusalem plentiful
Jesus of Nazareth is sentenced
The tree stood tall over the woods
Misery struck the woods
Romans hunted for a tree
A tree, that can contain the Savior
The tall tree looks across amazed
Tree falls like creations bow before creator
Unwilling though to lay down its life
Brought forth to be a Wood of the Cross
Cross for the Savior to hang
Tree learns about the Savior
Great distress strikes the woods
Creature contains now the creator
Shadow of sadness covers the creation
Bleeding Savior walks to embrace the tree
Tree refused to contain the creator
Jesus looks with intense pain and distress
Utters in silence “You’re the wood upon I hang”
Union of creation and creator
Expressed beyond imagination
Savior embraces the tree
Whole weight of the tree upon Savior
Every fall creates wound on the creation
The creation is bleeding with pain
Every drop of blood flows through the tree
Suffering Savior embraces the tree with love
Now, one last intense embrace
Screams Savior “I commend my spirit”
Helpless tree watches and waits
The Glory of God in the gentle embrace of the tree.
