The Rose
Author Unknown

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
The flower God opens so gently
In my hands would fade and die

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
How can I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

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

For the pathway that lies before me
My heavenly Father knows
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments
Just as he unfolds the rose

Oh, Amy, the poem you found for this is the most beautiful thing, and could not be more perfect. You have such a knack for putting together exactly the right combinations of poems and/or song lyrics with the Welcome graphics - not to mention the text colors that compliment.

Filling earth and sky,
Everywhere Thy wonders open
To our searching eye.

Your Lord's Day Post is So Beautiful, Amy and Billie. I didn't have Time to Finish and Post my Pic when I was Here Earlier, and am about to Run Out the Door Again, Lol. I Hope Everyone is having a Good Day.

How Majestic is Thy Name


~Flowers on the King's Ranch~

Great are the Troubles of the Righteous:
But the Lord Delivereth him Out of them All.
The Lord Redeemeth the Souls of His Servants:
And None that Trust in Him Shall Perish.
(Ps.34:19,22)

~A Beautiful Lord's Day to Amy's Place~
