Red Rose Cross

Lord Jesus I need You more today,
Like so many of us do,
Struggling to get through unbearable,
Times in life we all go through.

O my Lord my heart is full looking,
Upon this beautiful Red,
Rose Cross which symbolizes,
Your Love and Passion which bled.

O I smell it's sweet fragrance and will,
Reflect on the precious scent,
Of Your Presence so like the perfume,
Of a Red Rose this moment.

How anyone couldn't believe in,
You I'll never understand,
O my Greatest Love being slain to,
Take away all sins of man.

The Everlasting Preciousness of,
You dying on Calvary,
Hearing You cry out to The Father,
In anguish and agony.

Nothing in my life or others will,
Ever compare to how You,
Suffered dearly so I would be free,
O Lord how I love You too.

With open arms I receive All Your,
Love Your tenderness of heart,
The fragrance of Your Presence like,
This Red Rose Cross does impart.

My Saviour, my Healer, and my own,
Forever Companion how,
Sweetly You hold me when I am so,
Lonely understanding now.

You never fault me in my times of,
Trouble but instead You give,
Sweet peace and solace to my aching,
Heart and weary soul to live.

O my Gentle Shepherd to this poor,
Wandering lamb how You Love,
Me entering deepest waters and,
Highest mountain tops thereof.

How You so retrieve me bringing me,
Back into Your fold holding me,
In Your Arms healing my broken heart,
So gently mended by Thee.

I receive Your Love with open arms,
All Your tenderness of heart,
And the fragrance of Your Presence like,
This Red Rose Cross does impart.

Lovingly Dedicated to Lady Gayle
