His wedding gift, a tree
A symbol, he said, for me
Formed from but a seed
It will bear fruit, said he
Yet how could he have known
So many years ago
What he had wrapped
What we might plan
A mystery, his gift to me
And in the same way, when God takes us as His bride:
His wedding gift, a tree
A symbol, He says, for me
I formed you from a seed
Now go, bear fruit for Me
Yet only He could know
So many years ago
What He had wrapped
What He has planned
His mystery, His gift to me
