He Grew The Tree
Recorded by Barbara Mandrell
Written by Chuck Lawrence 

C             F       C            G7  C
He molded and built a small lonely hill
     F             B7        C       Dm
That He knew would be called Calvary
     C                                   Am
Then He made the seed that would grow to be
D7                             G7
Thorns that would make His Son bleed

     C               F            C
Then He made a green stem gave it leaves
    G7           F            F#m
And then gave it sunshine and rain 
              C
And sheltered it with moss
F           F#m  C             Am
He grew the tree He knew would be
C       G7                  C    Am
Used to make the old rugged cross

G7                         C       Am
Nothing took His life with love He gave it
Dm          G7        C            C7
He was crucified on a tree that He created
     F              F#m     C             F
With great love for man God gave with His plan
C           Am   Fm      C        G7 C
He grew the tree so that we might go free

                                               G7
With tears in His eyes God looked down through time
c       F         F#m          C
Saw Him spat upon rejected and mocked
      F           F#m       C             Am
Still He grew the tree that He knew would be
C       G7                  C
Used to make the old rugged cross

Repeat #3

      F           F#m       C             Am
Still He grew the tree that He knew would be
C       G7                  C
Used to make the old rugged cross
