The Rose

I first heard this song sang a few years ago and i liked it the moment I heard it. It’s a song of Love, it’s a song about the broken hearted afraid to take the chance, soul’s afraid of dying. Also it reminds us that what lies beneath the snow in winter, in spring there blooms a flower called The Rose.

God knows us all

Matthew 10:29-31 29

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

This song was written by Salvation Army musicians John Gowans and John Larsson. It is a popular song for school assemblies and Sunday schools. Although it is a light-hearted melody, the lyrics are a strong reminder that God knows each one of us personally and by name.

I remember singing this song as a Singing Company member (junior choir in Salvation Army) and that was many moons ago.  Here it is again rearranged for Senior choirs in The Salvation Army a catchy little tune with simple words Teaching us how God knows every bird, flower, planet and of course you and me

A Christian’s Heart

A Christian’s heart is like a flower

Where there is always room

For every lovely seed from God

Comes to perfect bloom

A Christian’s heart is like a Church

A room of peace and Love

Where Angels make their presence felt

With ideas from above

A Christian’s heart is like a fort

Of mighty rugged stone

Where sayings kept of our dear Lord

Rest upon its throne

A Christian’s heart is like a star

Reflecting light from God

Shining brightly in the night

On pathways deeply trod

A Christian’s heart is broken still

So God can build anew

A pathway closer to himself

Of purity and truth

A Christian’s Heart beats larger

When love is given free

Without condition or distrust

Our Hearts light up with glee
