The tree of life, how sweet the fruit

The tree of life

how sweet the fruit

With God as life complete.

I once was dead

but now I live

Was starved

but now I eat.

’Twas God that brought me to the tree

With Christ Himself as meat;

How precious did that tree become

When I began to eat.

The Lord Himself is food to me

He is my life supply;

He will my pure enjoyment be

None else can satisfy.

I freely eat this living tree

For eating is the way

To put God’s life inside of me

To live by Him today.
