Berry Tree

There's berry tree, standing by the door-step,
And it stays green all around the year.
It feeds the birds staying through the winter,
And it gives a shade when the summer's here.

     And I thank the Lord for the world I see
     For loving you and living free and thee,
     And the berry tree.

There's a wooden cross, standing on a hill-side,
Where it will stand for us all to see.
It can show us love, it can feed us through a lifetime.
And the fruit it gives, it has given free.

     And I thank the Lord for the world I see,
     For loving you and living free and thee,
     And the berry tree.

There's a girl I love, standing at the window,
With the winter sun shining in her face
And the love she bears will keep me through a lifetime.
Like the tree and the cross, we will stand with grace.

     And I thank the Lord for the world I see.
     The girl I love, the living tree and thee,
     And the berry tree.
