Sweet Rose of Sharon 2

Sweet Rose of Sharon

fragrance of grace

beauty beyond compare

A thorny crown

upon your brow

pain endured

for me

Delicate strength

that held you there

on the cross

in agony

Tears flow

as I think

of the love

that it took

to set

me

free

Sweet Rose of Sharon

The Sweet Rose of Sharon

wore a crown of thorns

blood dripping from his brow

like dew on the rose

He endured

for my salvation

for my healing

to purchase forgiveness

for my sins

To take my messed up life

and make it something beautiful

Thank you,

Sweet Rose of Sharon
