Once upon a tree
He died at Calvary
Once upon a tree
He suffered loss
Greatest story told
Starting with these few words
No not with once upon a time
But once upon a tree

Chorus:
Once upon a tree (on a tree)
He died at Calvary
Once upon a tree (on a tree)
He suffered loss (He paid the cost)
Greatest story told (ever told)
Starting these few words (these words)
No not with once upon a time
But once upon a tree (tree, a, a tree)

Bridge:
Upon it they crucified (My Jesus)
He suffered, He bled and died
(That you and I) So that you and I can receive the gift of life
(He cried) He cried at Gethsemane
(Let this cup pass from me) "Father, please let this pass from me"
(But then He died) Then He took up His cross
The Savior of man to be (For You, for You)
To be

Repeat Chorus

No not with once upon a time,
But once upon a tree
