Christ The Tree
Roots of Christ, deep and wide:
Abraham’s Seed, prophesied Prophet,
David’s Son, Suffering Servant, Son of Man,
Delving the depths.
Trunk of Christ, sturdy and strong:
Apostolic throughout the ages,
Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Pentecostal,
Raising the heights.
Branches of Christ, expansive, extensive:
Catholic throughout the world,
Asian, European, African, American,
Breathing the breadths.
