Denise Bekker - * * Mighty Tree * *

I sat down in His shade.
It was a great delight.
Pondering all about this Tree,
gazing high above.
Through the branches I did see,
shimmering rays of pure sunlight.
I believe that in this Tree, God does delight.

From a little Seed, this Tree did grow.
I wonder who had a thought, and this Seed sow.
In pure majesty He now stands.
Tall and strong, as sturdy as can be.
He towers above the lands.
How old are you Tree?
You seem to be so free!

You sway ever so lightly to and fro.
Yes, strong and sturdy though.
There is something about this Tree,
it has liberty and is free.

As I partake of the heavenly fruit,
so sweet to my taste.
Under His shadow I lay my head to rest.
Quietly I heard a whispering through the leaves....
I heard that all that visit this Tree,
return to it's shade.
For in the whispering I heard....
THIS IS THE TREE THAT GOD MADE.
