congress-woman malinda jackson parker - precious palm tree lyrics
a bit of history about precious palm tree, by congress-woman malinda jackson parker, dedicated to kenneth best, of liberia. my friends, lend me your ears: i have a story to tell you about the greatest tree in africa, yea, in all the world. this tree produces everything for human needs. is stately, lovely, charming, gracious, and marvelous. this tree is precious palm tree
her gifts to mankind are too numerous to mention. i shall now name a few of these items for your listening pleasure: roofing for houses, food, b-tter, palm wine, palm oil, nut oil, palm cabbage, [?] and soap, soda, gunpowder, sulfur, medicine, timber, plank, thread, broom, palm kernel, net for fishing, materials for art and craft, and decorations. the palm tree’s economic significance is reflected on the liberian coat of arm
home of glorious liberty
by god’s amen
but the most important gift of precious palm tree is that used on palm sunday, commemorating the death of our savior, jesus christ, on the cross to redeem mankind from sin
men make poems, fly to the moon, dance and croon
but my friends, i declare unto you: only god can make a tree, set us free, and keep us in our glee. god made gentle, precious palm tree for us
song: “precious palm tree,” composed and sung by congress-woman jackson parker, dedicated to our school
