A tree was cut down
A feeding trough shorn
The carpenter not-knowing
For what it was borne
The long promised Savior
Did come on that day
He was laid in that manger
His blanket the hay
Wonder and mystery
God was made man
A moment in history
Where Christmas began
A tree was cut down
A cross of wood shorn
The carpenter now-knowing
For whom it was borne
The long promised Savior
The once cradled One thrown
Onto a cross, hung there
For our sins to atone
Wonder and mystery
That God was made man
A moment in history
Where Christmas began
Trees bloom and wane
Carpenters too
But the Christ child reigns
Forever, its true
A cradle and a cross
A manger and a tomb
A pure lamb’s life lost
For me and for you.
