THE THORN BUSH AND THE ROSE GARDEN

THE THORN BUSH AND THE ROSE GARDEN

That God never promised you a rose garden

Is an expression that you’ve heard quite often

If you hadn’t well now you’ve heard it from me

Although that doesn’t help the shock to soften

If you still don’t understand what the saying means

Daily events in your life can produce highs or lows 

We go though life tasting the bitter and the sweet

The ups and downs that the Lord our God knows

For life itself is like when the rose bends in the wind

It can all equate to the various paths that we travel

We can breath in the aroma of this beautiful flower or

Get pricked by its thorns and watch your life unravel

The path that you’ll travel on is in your hands

For the Lord also gave you a free will power

To follow the straight and narrow or to wander

Something that we may not know until our final hour

I’m quite sure that you’ve probably surmised by now that

The rose garden represents good and the thorn bush is bad

But I can tell you that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

With the end result being that you’ll never again be sad

So here’s the good news that I promised to give you

There aren’t any thorn bushes if you get to heaven above

And the bed of roses that you’ll receive if you get there

Is in the Power and Majesty of Father God’s Love

But there’s a catch and perhaps you may know it already

Just profess Yeshua as Messiah and repenting of your sins

No one can reach Father God Except through Yeshua

And God’s Rose Garden is where your renewed life begins
