[Chorus]
Well, I have a right to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Well, I have a right to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Oh Jesus died, said he died
(Died on the Calvary, died for you and me)
That’s why I have a right to the tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
[Chorus]
Well, I have a right to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Well, I have a right to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Oh Jesus died, said he died
(Died on the Calvary, died for you and me)
Lord, that’s why I have a right tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
[Chorus]
Oh, I have a right to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Lord I have a right, child, to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
My saviour died, know my saviour died
(Died on the Calvary, died for you and me)
Then I have a right, Lord, tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
[Chorus]
Oh I have a right, Lord, tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Oh I have a right, Lord, to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
My saviour died, know my saviour died
(Died on the Calvary, died for you and me)
Then I have a right, Lord, tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
[Verse 1]
Oh they’ve taken the saviour, led him up a hill
(Have a right, have a right, have a right, have a right)
To a place called Calvary
(Have a right, have a right, have a right, have a right)
Till they nailed his hands
(Have a right, have a right)
You know they ripped the saviour’s feet
(Have a right, have a right)
Gives me right, Lord, tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
[Chorus]
Oh I have a right, Lord, tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Oh I have a right to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
You know he died, I know he died
(Died on the Calvary, died for you and me)
Then I have a right, tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
[Verse 2]
Oh they’ve taken the saviour, led him in a tomb
(Have a right, have a right, have a right, have a right)
Tell me he rolled, one morning soon
(Have a right, have a right, have a right, have a right)
He’s gone on to glory
(Have a right, have a right)
Resting around God’s white throne
(Have a right, have a right)
It gives me a right, tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
[Chorus]
Woo Lord, I have a right, Lord, tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
Oh, I have a right to the tree of life
(Right to the tree of life, right to the tree of life)
You know my saviour died, you know my saviour died
(Died on the Calvary, died for you and me)
Then I have a right, tree of life
(I have a right, right to the tree of life)
