The Tree of Life

George Chow 1976 (台灣)

The nature seeking Kings.
Empty to calamity.
Mother to its vows..
Daughters to limits.
Marriages of men.
For an amazing grace.
but grace always been perpetual.
Laws of the wind.
Theories by minds.
Love cover multitude of sins.
The ten commandments.
The dead asks why dead.
The live asks for answers.
Until there is only one thing left..
its how much Jesus means to you.
