Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

PRECIOUS ROSE OF SHARON


PRECIOUS ROSE OF SHARON YIELD
YOUR PRICELESS OIL FROM GLORY’S FIELD
YOUR NAME AS OINTMENT POURED FOR ME
THE OIL OF GLADNESS__SOVERIEGN, FREE
NO OTHER FLOWER LIKE YOU MY LORD
NOT ONE, COULD MERE MAN E’R AFFORD
THE THORNY CROWN THAT WRAPPED YOUR HEAD__WITH STEMS OF ROSES LONG SINCE DEAD.
EDEN’S ANCIENT ROOT BROUGHT BLOOD
FLOWING FROM YOUR PIERCED AND THROBING BROW.
OH CRUEL MAN__PLEASE TELL ME HOW
WITH OPEN EYES AND HEARTS TO SEE__
YOU NAILED GOD’S SON UPON THAT TREE?
NOW BLOOMING LILY WHITE AND FAIR AMONST HIS THORNY DAUGHTERS RARE
IN VALLEYS GREEN__WHERE OPEN SKY DECLARES WHAT OTHERS WILL DENY
THE FRAGRANCE OF BLESSED EDEN’S ROSE
NOW FILLS THE EARTH MONGST THOSE HE’S CHOSE
NOW MY ORNAMENT AND MY CROWN
OH STEMS THAT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND
MADE LIVE FROM BLOOD THAT FLOWED
BLOOD THAT PAID THE PRICE I OWED
OH ROSE OF SHARON__LILY WHITE
OH OIL PRESSED OUT IN DARKEST NIGHT
SWEET FRAGRANCE FILLS MY LONGING SOUL.
SWEET FRAGRANCE WHICH HAS MADE ME WHOLE.
I BOW MY HEAD IN FERTILE DESIRE
PLANT IN ME__YOUR ROOT OF FIRE
TO BLOOM FROM THAT ETERNAL TREE
TO FILL THE EARTH THAT ALL MIGHT SEE
THE WORK YOU’VE WORKED WITH SUCH AS ME________________


WITH ALL MY HEART, I ASK AND PRAY__YOUR DAUGHTER WITH THORNS
