The Tree of Life

Verse

And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father!  Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?  And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things. And he spake unto me, saying:  Yea, and the most joyous to the soul.

Book of Mormon   1 Nephi 11:21-23

 The Tree of Life

                                                           The ancient symbol of God’s love        

By the Lamb of God revealed

Desirable is the fruit thereof

For all who would be healed

The path to the sacred Tree

A straight and narrow road

Taken on the path to eternity

Where heaven is our abode

Is there such a Tree found growing

In your heart and mind and soul

Does it bear fruit worth bestowing

On the sheep of the Master’s fold

A Tree desirable above all things

God’s love in our minds and hearts

And the greatest blessing it brings

Eternal life, the Tree of Life imparts.
