The Three Dogwoods Lyrics

Some nineteen hundred years ago
Three dogwoods standing tall
Side by side, and strong they were
But, one stood above them all

They could hear people talking
'Bout a man called the Son of God
The tall dogwood didn’t know at his time
He was to hold the Son of God

The time had come for this lamb to die, the dogwoods were chopped down
From these men they learned their destiny, as their branches fell to the ground
Their leaves were stripped and their branches trimmed, crosses they would be
The tall dogwood, to hold the Son of God, it was the strongest of the three

When the Son of God was nailed to the cross
The cross asked Him to forgive
I'll never grow tall and strong, he said
To be used as a cross again
Then the cross told the people: "Look what you've made me do!
It wasn’t me who sinned at all, can't you see it was you?"

Their leaves were stripped and their branches trimmed, crosses they would be
The people said he died for them, nailed to a dogwood tree
To a dogwood tree
To a dogwood tree
To a dogwood tree
