My Rose Of Sharon

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.
