Strong and sturdy, I made man to be
Trees of righteousness, in strength they will lead
With justice and truth the people are free
The sound of an ax, the fall of a tree
I send My Son with eyes to see
No trees but thorns, a whole hedge, He decreed
All twisted around, a crown made for me
Scoffing and laughing, my bride to be
The cedars have fallen, but wait there's a seed
A nation born in a day, hard to believe
I asked the blind man, what see you please?
"I see men walking, walking as trees"
