The Rose of Christ
*********
You are the fragrance of the rose
In every human heart
The seeds are planted firmly down
No better way to start..
The seed it grows and comes to flower
When watered there with care
Just like the message of the gospel
You sent for all to share.
The fragrance shared is sweet and good
As it turns into a rose
The greatest of all flowers
As with love it really grows.
And our souls are like a garden
Where the weeds get tangled in
As we walk this worldly pathway
Full of greed and full of sin.
So we offer you our eager hands
To let you lead the way
So we can share the rose of Christ
In each and every day.
