Rose & thorn
In the valley
You guide me through
Your grace holds me
Close to You
I found a rose
With many thorns
Your grace is enough
When my heart is torn
In the darkest night
The northern star shines
Leading us home
Your sovereign plan divine
As I walk the waters
One step at a time
You never leave me
You’re right by my side
I pour myself out
A perfume offering
Through my poems
As the whole world sings
Glory to the lamb
Chosen to die
For the sins of the world
You freely give eternal life
The lion of Judah
Sweeps across the earth
Through His bride adorned
His beautiful church
Though we may be imperfect
Your perfection cleanses us
You give beauty for ashes
We will rise from the dust
The children of God
Sharing in eternity
Heirs of the promise
You came to set us free
From this dying creation
You will renew all things
You will wipe every tear
You will remove our sins
For the ones who believe
And trust in Your word
Turning from darkness
No more hope deferred
You are a tree of life
For those seeking You
You will birth a new world
You will fully renew.
