A Tree from Lebanon

A Tree from Lebanon

became a cross

as an accompaniment

for our Lord Jesus --

its hardness built for strength,

to hold a Saviour

of the world.

He did not die in vain.

His glory transcended the smell

of death – such punishment

inflicted upon His body.

He died for our sins.

Then arose.
