Story behind the song

My attempt to create an old timey gospel Easter song.

Lyrics

Cruel Tree

Upon the hillside stood crosses three
One for Jesus and one for you and me
The cruel tree, O the cruel tree
     The Savior died on the cruel tree

Instrumental

If I were a sailor sailing out on the sea
Iï¿½d never find another
Who would die for me
The cruel tree, O the cruel tree
       The Savior died on the cruel tree

Instrumental

They mocked and they beat him
O so mercilessly
Then they nailed his body
On the cruel tree
On the cruel tree on the cruel tree
  The Savior died on the cruel tree
