Roses Will Bloom Again

I planted a little rose bush I tended it with care It's buds began to blossom Their sweet fragrance filled the air But when winter came, it withered The petals drooped and fell to the ground My heart sank as it faded But I'd forgotten who had made it He said Roses will bloom again Just wait and see Don't mourn what might have been Only God knows how and when but Roses will bloom again Rose was his only sweetheart A loving wife for 40 years Cherished every day they had And held the memories dear He never dreamed he'd bury love And go on to live alone When he lay his Rose to rest He looked to Heaven and tried his best To believe that Roses will bloom again Just wait and see Don't mourn what might have been Only God knows how and when but Roses will bloom again The precious Rose of Sharon Broken and bruised in cruel shame Stained the cross of Calvary So that men might be saved Satan cheered as He died While Mary and the others cried Then God raised Him up from that sleep And kept a promise only He could keep Roses will bloom again Just wait and see Don't mourn what might have been Only God knows how and when but Roses will bloom again Roses will bloom again
