Roses Will Bloom Again

Bill Gaither – Roses Will Bloom Again Lyrics

Verse 1

I planted a little rose bush, 

I tended it with care, 

It's buds began to blossom

Their fragrance filled the air

But when winter came it withered, 

The petals drooped and fell to the ground, 

My heart sank as it faded, 

But I'd forgotten who had made it.

CHORUS

Roses will bloom again, 

Just wait and see

Don't mourn what might have been

Only God knows how and when that

Roses will bloom again.

VERSE 2

Rose was his only sweetheart, 

A loving wife for forty years.

Cherished every day they had, 

And held memories dear

He never dreamed he'd bury love 

And go to live alone, 

But he lay his Rose to rest, 

Looked up to heaven and tried his best

To believe that

 

CHORUS

VERSE 3 

The precious Rose of Sharon, 

Broken and bruised in cruel shame, 

Stained on the cross of Calvary, 

So that men might be saved, 

Satan cheered as He died, 

While Mary and the others cried, 

Then God raised Him up from that sleep

And kept a promise only He could keep.

CHORUS

In this beautiful song, in the first verse it talks about how God revives us in the winter season of our life. God gives us hope and peace that we will bloom again even though we have withered. In the chorus God tells us again that we will bloom again we just have to be patient and watch, we can't mourn about what might have happened if we weren't withered, only God knows how and when we will bloom again but it will happen, He knows best. In verse two it talks about another situation where God shows His faithfulness. When a husband looses his only love after 40 years of marriage, he tries to keep his faith in God that He will see his Rose again, God not only restores our souls He gives us hope that if we and our loved ones served God like we should and one of us passed, as long as the other person keeps serving God then we shall meet again. In verse 3 it talks our sweet JESUS, and how He died for us and rose again. He is our hope and He is our peace and He will never leave us in that winter season alone and He will always make sure that we know we will be okay.

So in the winter of our lives just remember roses will bloom again.
