• Song Name: Jesus Christ The Apple Tree
• Artist: Ray Lyon
• Album: TBR

The tree of life my soul has seen, laden with fruit and always green
The tree of life my soul has seen, laden with fruit and always green
The trees of nature fruitless be compared with Christ the apple tree

His beauty does all things excel, by faith I know but ne'er can tell
His beauty does all things excel, by faith I know but ne'er can tell
The glory which I now can see in Jesus Christ the apple tree

For happiness I long have sought, and pleasure dearly I have bought
For happiness I long have sought, and pleasure dearly I have bought
I missed of all but now I see 'tis found in Christ the apple tree

I'm weary with my former toil, here I will sit and rest awhile
I'm weary with my former toil, here I will sit and rest awhile
Under the shadow I will be with Jesus Christ the apple tree

This fruit does make my soul to thrive, it keeps my dying faith alive
This fruit does make my soul to thrive, it keeps my dying faith alive
Which makes my soul in haste to be with Jesus Christ the apple tree
Which makes my soul in haste to be with Jesus Christ the apple tree
