He Grew The Tree

G             C       G          
He molded and built a small 
  D7
lonely hill
        C             C          
That He knew would be called 
G     Am
Calvary
        G        C             G 
Then He made the seed that would 
        Em
grow to be
A7                A7           D7
Thorns that would make His Son 
  D7
bleed

[Verse 2]

        G            C             
Then He made a green stem, gave it 
G           G7
leaves and then
        C            C      
gave it sunshine and rain And 
                     G   G
sheltered it with moss
C           C         G         
He grew the tree that He knew 
    Em
would be

G                D7         G    G
Used to make the old rugged cross

[Chorus]

D7                D7   G         
Nothing took His life with love 
  Em
He gave it
Am          D7        G          
He was crucified on a tree that 
  G7
He created
           C        C       G    
With great love for man God 
           C
stayed with His plan
G           Em           C      
He grew the tree so that we 
      G
might go free

[Verse 3]

     G            C               
With tears in His eyes God looked 
G            D7
down through time
         C           C       
Saw Him spat upon rejected and 
  G    Am
mocked
      C           C          G   
Still He grew the tree that He 
        Em
knew would be
G                D7         G    G
Used to make the old rugged cross

[Repeat Chorus]

C           C         G         
He grew the tree that He knew 
    Em
would be
G                D7         G   Em
Used to make the old rugged cross
