The ugliest tree

Not so shapely

Not so comely

Looks very unsightly

And unkept

Like no one would desire it

Like no one desires it

With it's leaves beginning to die

And fall off the tree

That is the one I am most in love with

It looks like it hid itself

Just to see

If anyone was going to try

To find out

What it's really like inside

Explore the deep beauty that it's hiding

Explore eternally whats inside

I see the most beautiful roses

In every leaf

Roses way more beautiful than earthly roses in it

Far more beautiful and fair than anyone could ever see here

So beautiful and lovely

I am so in love with this tree

It stands out from the others

It is unusual,

I am very intrigued

Eternally intrigued

Every leaf 

Every vein and every cell

Speak so loudly

As they quietly fall to the ground

I would do anything

To rake up the leaves

Of that tree

Every year

I want that tree

All for mine

And I want it

To belong to me

Every cell in the tree

I am utterly crazy about

So tenderly I respect every cell 

And carefully watch over it

I want to stand in front of the tree

And protect it

From anyone else

Who would ever

Lay a hand on it

And harm it in any way

I'd move my house

Right next to it

Just so I could guard it

And take care of it

This tree is deep

And I want to know

Everything about it

This tree is eternally deep and lovely and beautiful

And it hid itself

In an ugly shrub

So beautiful 

You are

So beautiful

To me

All of the leaves

Falling to the ground

Look like beautiful rose petals

Speaking of love

A very deep love

Beautiful rose petals

Colored with blood

The bare branches, like the crown of thorns He wore, the thorn of the roses

All winter

How cold He felt

Because of rejection

The loveliest unselfish tree

So beautiful, so beautiful

To me, forever

You loved us 

With the most reddest love

Even though we fell

So deep, so lovely, so unselfish, so worthy of eternal praise

You make the praise so lovely

So utterly lovely

When I saw Him

For who He really is

Turned my head

Now I can't stop staring

Far more attractive

Than any human I could love

And He doesn't care, doesn't mind at all

How much I seek Him

How obsessed with Him I am

How obedient I am

So beautiful

So lovely, I will serve Him forever

Be His willing slave forever

He turned my head

Away from all else

Everything else so plain

So utterly plain, Jesus,

Compared to You

Mine forever

Someone like me

Terrible things all my life

And now this

Far better, even in the

Deepest sadness

He could give me

Far better than the

Best thing this earth

Has to offer

Plain, everything else is 

So plain

And He stops all

The clocks on

Earth in one second

Just by turning His head

I could find the perfect man

But he just really wouldn't ever be You

The only dream I have

Is to be with You

So what did You want me to do today

From dawn to dusk

Every dream of Yours

I must fulfill, every single one

That's the only dream that matters

You are so good to me

To never forget what You want

To give You exactly that

That's it, that's the only dream

Even worth having

Don't waste any time today, my soul

Fulfilling any dream but His

Jesus You Yourself are a dream

Wilder than the wildest of any of man's dreams

Wilder than the dream of the most beautiful thing You ever created

You are so beautiful and desirable

It really does feel like I'm living in a dream

To be with You

To be around Someone like You

You are so good

You make everything so lovely

Every moment til I die is Yours

Forever, I get to live with Love, forever

When You were sleeping

On the ground

Homeless

At night

Would You have let me

Hold You all night

So You wouldn't have been cold
