ROSE OF SHARON
Author(s): Windy
Songbook: Dad's Songs of Love
KeyWords: Action (Kids),

Verse 1
How it charmed me and filled me with gladness;
In the beauty and Springtime of youth.
When I wakened from sin and from sadness,
And my mind was illumined with truth.
But when conflict and trial befall me,
When the storms of temptation as sail,
When the foes of my soul would enthrall me,
There's a Flower that blooms in the vale.

Chorus 1
Rose of Sharon now blooming I see,
Rose of Sharon so precious to me.
With my whole heart I sing, "Hallelujah!"
Rose of Sharon's o precious to me.

Verse 2
Sinner, haste thee to seek this fair Flower,
Ere the garden be shut to the gate,
Ere the fateful and terrible hour
When the angel will say to you, "'Tis too late.
For the Rose is transported to Heaven,
And the Spirit thou grievedst away."
While this gift from God's beauty is given,
Seek His blest Rose of Sharon today.

Chorus 2
Rose of Sharon, how beautiful my Flower,
Rose of Sharon so precious to me.
With my whole heart I sing, "Hallelujah!"
Rose of Sharon now blooming in me.
