the broken one upon the tree
Be lifted, eyes, to look and see
The broken one upon the tree
Tho' grief and trials fly around
And seek to hold your vision down
On fleeting things that will not last
Tho' difficult, they soon must pass
If you can look to see him there
He can relieve you from despair
His suffering and pain ached more
Than anything you must endure
He won for you a victory -
the broken one upon the tree
So follow his example now
In brokenness and grief bow down
For as he conquered death and sin
You, too, will conquer while in him
And tho' this season's dark with pain
forsake your bitterness and claim
His blood and trials as your own
Never forget - he is your home
And you, o eyes, who ache to see
the broken one upon the tree
One glance of him and you'll forget
all of the pain you now have met
