For God so loved the world that he created a rose
Unique among the flowers in His garden.
Fashioned each symmetrical petal crimson red
Delicately whispering sweet perfume in the air.
Its lovely form stands out among them all
How delicately and marvelously fashioned
The petals are intrinsically arrayed,
my, my, my, what beauty, what grace.
God\'s prophet confirmed that I was a rose
Planted in his earthly garden with love
A flower plucked from Eden now ever grows
Your love nourishes as a fragile dove.
O God of love! how to thank you each day,
Only by opening my mouth in a burst of praise.
