I was living in an empty desert with no meaning to my life,Then one day I found this beautiful Rose of Sharon, who is the living Christ.And this lovely Rose forever blooms;Its sweet fragrance has filled all my rooms.It has no thorns; they've all been taken away,I know this Rose is here to stay.It brightens all my days, and is my dearest friend.On this never changing Rose I can trust and depend.This divine Rose of Sharon is so perfect and fair,And it brings me peace, and love, and joy beyond compare.Such a calm content feeling it sends,Each heartache and pain it always mends.I know in this life perfection I will never attain,But since this Rose has left it's fragrance on me, I have never been the same,And as I share this fragrance with those in need I see,This beautiful Rose of Sharon will bloom in me.
