Petals of the Eternal Rose

Down on my knees, 
I'm taking you there with a heart full of joy and faith.


Bowing, humbling, listening am I;
out in the bliss of each moment with you:
waiting... for the last petal to fall.

Knowing the source of love - Jesus Wept-
I cry, having the understanding that salvation is true.

Waiting, hearing, keeping are we;
out in the bliss of each moment with you:
 waiting... for the renewing of the last petal.

Hearts joined in unity, becoming one with Him,
making memories that will last forever- settled.

Blooming, renewed, revealed in pure delight, 
in love and strengthened are we;
out in the bliss of each moment with you:
watching...  for the capturing of the last petal.

Softly will the petal fall, into the bosom of grace,
secured and in one love forever.

Unity, bond of peace, enduring one I love,
holding on; out in the bliss of each moment with you:
Watching... for the time is near to secure the last petal 
of the eternal Rose!
