The Weeping Tree
A Holy Week testament of grace
Composers:
Joseph Martin (Composer)
Pamela Martin (Narrator)
Brant Adams (Orchestrator)
Description:
Outside the city wall stands the weeping tree. In silence she lifts her
weary arms against the darkened sky. There in her crooked and twisted arms
she cradled Jesus, the Hope of the world. She who was cut and fashioned by
hatred and violence became a tree of life for the world.
From the writers of Song of the Shadows and Harvest of Sorrows comes this
profoundly moving work for Holy Week. The Weeping Tree is a poignant
portrait of the cross that uses beloved hymns, newly composed music,
thoughtful narration, and simple sacred symbols to create a touching
testament of grace......
