Living CrossesActs 10:38 & 39 God anointed Christ with the Holy Spirit, As well as all of the power He did inherit; Who went about preaching and doing well, Healing all of the oppression up from Hell; For God was with Him throughout His life, As we witness Him freeing others of strife; Then slain by them for to be hung on a tree, For the redemption of sins for you and me. Interesting saying tree instead of a cross, Since a tree gives life and not make a loss; For a tree is actually as a symbol of power, As with a giant California red woods tower; Trees are a symbol of new life or new birth, Strengthening the land surface of the earth; Seeking water deep underground by its root, Able to give us shade as well as bear fruit; A tree instead of a cross a good reminder, A new and eternal life that God will render; On the condition we acknowledge the debt, All our sinful deeds in needing to regret.
