Verse 1:
There ve been times when I thought my prayers didn t even reach the ceiling
//
Of the room where I knelt to pray
And a voice inside kept asking me did I think God was really listening
//
To anything that I had to say
But I just kept on praying and holding on by faith
//
Knowing God is always in control
And I waited like a rose bud in the garden
For only God can unfold the rose
Chorus:
// //
When God unfolds the rose He always gets it right
//
When the petals are in place it s such a beautiful sight
// //
God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go
//
So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose
Verse 2:
There are trials and tribulations we must all go through
//
When it comes to heartaches we ve all had our share
Oh but when times are the hardest we need to hold God to the promise
Said He d never give us more than we could bear
So I ll just keep on praying and holding on by faith
//
Knowing God is working all things for my good
And I ll wait just like that rose bud in the garden
For only God can unfold the rose
Chorus:
// //
When God unfolds the rose He always gets in right
//
When the petals are in place it s such a beautiful sight
// //
God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go
//
So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose
Ending:
// //
God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go
// ///
So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose
