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.
