The Jesus Tree

I've got an old friend, we talk most every day Just an old oak tree, he ain't got much to say No matter how far away I roam He'll be there for me Out in the backyard, in the morning light He kinda looks like Jesus, if you turn just right Heavenly foliage, come on down And see my Jesus tree Summertime shadows, sleep on the ground Like fading old memories, we all gather round Pull up a chair now, in the healing shade Of the Jesus tree The leaves of autumn, falling like rain Waiting on springtime, he's gonna rise again It's a modern-day miracle, come on down And see the Jesus tree The radio playing, Silent Night A crown of neon, blinking in the pale moonlight My holiday savior, come on down And see the Jesus tree When the sky is crying, and thundering pain I lean on your wisdom, to get me right again If you're covered in sorrow, get on down To the Jesus tree I've got an old friend, we talk most every day Just an old oak tree, he ain't got much to say Heavenly foliage, come on down And see the Jesus tree See the Jesus tree And see my Jesus tree
