the broken one upon the tree

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
