So you think you have to make tough choices? God had to make a choice to plant a seed that would eventually be used to hang his son. Could you make that same choice? We all have hard times and have to make tough decisions but try to keep it in perspective. God chose to sacrifice his only son so that we may live, so that we can be forgiven.
Would you plant that seed?
Would you plant that seed that grew into the tree
That Jesus would hang from, and die for you and me
If you knew the price, that he soon would pay
Would you plant the tree that held him that day
.
God knew of the cost, with the seed in his hand
So he picked a special spot, far off in a special land
He buried the seed, deep down in the ground
Knowing that one day, his son would be bound
.
Would you plant that seed that grew into the tree
That Jesus would hang from, and die for you and me
If you knew the price, that he soon would pay
Would you plant the tree that held him that day
.
God watched it grow from a sapling to a tree
He watched as the Romans brought Jesus to his knees
He watched as they formed the tree into a cross
Knowing that without it the world would be lost
.
Would you plant that seed that grew into the tree
That Jesus would hang from, and die for you and me
If you knew the price, that he soon would pay
Would you plant the tree that held him that day
.
Now nothing remains of that old wooden cross
Just stories and songs that tell of the loss
And God knew it all when he planted that seed
Because of his love, we’ve all been set free
.
Would you plant that seed that grew into the tree
That Jesus would hang from, and die for you and me
If you knew the price, that he soon would pay
Would you plant the tree that held him that day
