Some 1900 years ago
Three dogwoods standing tall
Side by side and strong they were
But one stood above them all
They could hear people talking
Bout a man called the Son of God
The tall dogwood didn't know at this time
He was to hold the Son of God
The time had come for this man to die
The dogwoods were chopped down
From these men they learned their destiny
As their branches fell to the ground
Their leaves were stripped
And their branches stripped
Crosses they would be
The tall dogwood to hold the Son of God
It was the strongest of the three
When the Son of God nailed to the cross
The cross asked him to forgive
"I'll never grow tall and strong," he said
"To be used as a cross again"
Then the cross told the people
"Look what you've made me do
It wasn't me who sinned at all
Can't you see was you?"
Their leaves were stripped
And their branches stripped
Crosses they would be
The people sinned, he died for them
Nailed to a dogwood tree
To a dogwood tree
To a dogwood tree
To a dogwood tree
To a dogwood tree
