Andrew Anderson, Melbourne, June 2021 Song Text: I gave my Lord an apple, an apple that I took from off the tree in Eden's land. The Lord received my apple and this he said to me, "I'll put it back where it belongs, I'll return your apple to the tree." And so, each day, more apples, more apples did I find within each corner of my heart, of ev'ry shape and kind, and to the Lord I brought them all as I had done before. "I'll take your apples swift away and to the tree restore." One day, as I was walking, the apple tree I passed and looking up I found it bare. I asked my Lord about it: "Did you not promise me you'd take my apples swift away and return them all to the tree?" "As promised, I have done it," replied to me the Lord. "I took your apples swift away and to the tree restored." And looking t'ward the hilltop, in awe I fin'lly see, the cross nailed full of apples, apples from me.
