THE ROSEBUD
It is only a tiny rosebud 
A flower of God's design 
But I cannot unfold the petals 
With these clumsy hands of mine
The secret of
unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I 
The flower God opens so gently 
In my hands would fade and die
If I cannot unfold a rosebud 
This flower of God's design
How can I have wisdom 
To unfold this life of mine
So I'll trust in God for leading 
Each moment of every day
And I'll look to God for guidance 
Each step along the way
For the pathway that lies before me 
My heavenly Maker knows
I'll trust God to unfold the moments 
Just as He unfolds the rose.
