The Rose

Song of Songs 2:1 (NIV) 1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

It’s only a tiny rosebud — a flower of God’s design;

But I can’t 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 sweetly in my hands would fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud this flower of God’s design,

Then how can I think 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.
