You live in a palace, exist in a shack. We see you, the gardener, a tree on your back. 2 In millions alive, away and abroad, involved in our life you live down the road. Imprisoned in systems, you long to be free. We see you, O Jesus, still bearing your tree. 3 We hear you, O Man [Christ], in agony cry. For freedom you march, in riots you die. Your face in the papers we read and we see. The tree must be planted by human decree. 4 You choose to be made at one with the earth; the dark of the grave prepares for your birth. Your death is your rising, creative your word: the tree springs to life and our hope is restored. Used With Tune: LIFE

Amen. Used With Tune: GRACE CHURCH
