In
every special garden among the many
blooms,
There's one that grows above the rest
and smells of sweet perfumes.
And though it
knows it's life is short, in the sun it
glows,
Willing to be sacrificed, the One
Perfect Rose.
Within a special garden,
God placed Adam and his mate,
Everything was
perfect til from the forbidden tree they
ate.
Sin was born in weakness and because of
the path they chose,
Into this world now
sinful, God would send One Perfect
Rose.
It must have been a glorious night,
when that star first appeared.
All the angels
in the heavens must have sang and
cheered.
For on this night in a lowly stable
as the star brightly glowed,
Unto this world,
born of a virgin, came One Perfect
Rose.
The Rose of Sharon He was called
but Jesus was His name.
One Perfect Rose
among the thorns, God's glory to
proclaim.
Upon the cross on Calvary's Hill,
His love for us He shows,
To save our souls
and pay sin's price required One Perfect
Rose.
From the cross to a borrowed tomb
the Son of God had gone,
But in three days He
would arise and roll away the stone.
For
those who came upon the stone, He left His
burial clothes,
To all around they would
proclaim He was One Perfect Rose.
Jesus
left His home in Glory to dwell among the
weeds.
He walked upon a sin-sick world and
died among the thieves.
He sacrificed Himself
for us and now all the world knows,
Above the
thorns of this worldly garden, lives One Perfect
Rose.
The price He paid for our salvation
should bring us to our knees,
In repentance
and thanksgiving for this gift of grace
received.
Eternal life with God we have
because our Savior chose,
To live and die
among the thorns and be One Perfect
Rose.
