Roses In Heaven's Sky
as the burdens bend me down, like the faded petals of a rose
as the path of this weary life grows sharper as I go
I will praise you Lord, I will still praise you like each day I always do
I will always look to the sky to see if there is a rose there, blooming thru
tho I am weary, I will praise you even more
I will raise my hands higher and higher, where I can touch the waters of heaven's shore
I'll shake hands with the elders, then run to find you for your light shines bright
when I do I'll fall on my knees, then lift my hands high, for I have found you in heaven,
thru the roses in the sky
as trialed years has worn me down, like the leaves discolored and fallen to the ground
and the winds of trouble tried to cover me deep
I'll just raise my hands higher, even tho I am too tired, to make a sound
In my heart you still heard me and seen my hands raised
oh, so high and thank you God, you are always there to listen to me
for I know you are near me because I can see the beautiful roses thru Heaven in the sky
