THE ROSE
It is only a tiny rosebud
A flower of God's design
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine


The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I
God opens this flower so sweetly
When in my hands they fade and die


If I cannot unfold a rosebud
This flower of God's design
Then how can I think I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?


So I'll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day
I will look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way


The pathway that lies before me
Only my Heavenly Father knows
I'll trust in Him to unfold the moments
Just as He unfolds the rose
