God's First Christmas Tree
by The Primitive Quartet

Album: He Lifted Me Out

Across the land, this time of year,
Beautiful trees stand everywhere.
Decorated with ornaments bright,
Hanging with presents and tinsel and lights.

But looking back, I see so plain
A tree on which a Lamb was slain
The Lamb of God hung there for me;
He gave Himself upon that tree.

That tree that stood at Calvary's crest
Held just one gift: God's very best.
And from His side, His hands and His feet,
His precious Blood decorated that tree.

Because of love, He died that day
And all He had, He gave away.
The most precious gift I ever received
Came by way of God's first Christmas tree.

Oh, what a lovely Christmas tree
That old, rugged cross has become to me!
To save my soul and set me free,
God's greatest Gift upon that tree.

Oh, what a beautiful Christmas tree
That old, rugged cross has become to me!
