THE SCARLET ROSE

God gave the world the scarlet rose

To remind us of His love

That He revealed through Jesus Christ

And sealed it with His blood

The thorns that pierced His sacred brow

Are there for all to see

The sacrifice that Jesus made

That day on Calvary

God gave the world the scarlet rose

To remind us of our sin

And that we can be forgiven

If we put our trust in Him

If we want to live again

Where the roses never die

We must confess our lawlessness

For I know that is why

Our life is like a scarlet rose

That blooms and fades away

As every hour quickly grows

Into another day

Though our sins be red like crimson

They will be as white as snow

In the kingdom of our Father

Where the scarlet roses grow

God gave the world the scarlet rose

To lead us to the cross

That Jesus bore before He died

To redeem the lost

The nails that pierced His hands and feet

And the spear that pierced His side

They all convey the love of God

That cannot be denied

Our life is like a scarlet rose

That blooms and fades away

As every hour quickly grows

Into another day

Though our sins be red like crimson

They will be as white as snow

In the kingdom of our Father

Where the scarlet roses grow

Though our sins be red like crimson

They will be as white as snow

In the kingdom of our Father

Where the scarlet roses grow
