THE THORN AND THE ROSE

Photo provided by Ramona Adams 

Among the thorns there rests a rose
Embracing the radiant beauty we love 
Woven in loveliness lies sorrow and grief 
The thorn, it pierces, the heart it bleeds 

The thorns a woman truly comprehends 
Much like the rose she holds in her hand 
Others may view and never fully see 
The pain inside, the sorrow and grief 

Woven together, the thorns and the rose 
Our lives a masterpiece the world to behold 
The crown, the cross, His love and His blood 
Entangled together show us His great love.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have 
peace with God through our Lord Jesus 
Christ:  By whom also we have access by 
faith into this grace wherein we stand, 
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations 
also: knowing that tribulation worketh 
patience;  And patience, experience; and 
experience, hope:  And hope maketh not 
ashamed; because the love of God is shed 
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost 
which is given unto us.  For when we 
were yet without strength, in due 
time Christ died for the ungodly. For 
scarcely for a righteous man will one
die: yet peradventure for a good man 
some would even dare to die. But God 
commendeth his love toward us, in that, 
while we were yet sinners, Christ died 
for us.




Romans 5:1-8
