-Love’s Roses -

I’m going down to the river

To the place where I once died

Right back to the arms of Jesus

The man who was crucified.

 

I will bring Him many roses

One for every painful thorn

He suffered for the sake of love

That my soul could be reborn.

 

One for every cry of mercy

One for every tear He wept

For all that he has done for me

For the challenge that He met.

 

I’ll place each one upon His head

Because He wore my crown

In thankfulness and praise to Him

I will lay my roses down.

 

Then I’ll bathe in His forgiveness

In the blood of vic-to-ry

And “one” together we’ll become

I in Him and He in me.
