. God's First Christmas Tree
Across the land this time of year
beautiful trees stand everywhere
decorated with ornaments bright
hanging with presents and tinsel and light
But looking back I see so plain
a tree on which a lamb was slain
The Lamb of God hung there for me
He gave Himself upon that tree
That tree that stood at Calvary's crest
held just one gift; God's very best
and from His side, His hands and His feet
His precious blood decorated that tree
Because of Love He died that day
And all He had He gave away
The most precious gift I ever received
came by way of God's first Christmas tree
Oh what a lovely Christmas tree
That old rugged cross has become to me
to save my soul and set me free
God's greatest gift upon that tree
Oh what a beautiful Christmas tree
That old rugged cross has become to me
