When God Unfolds a Rose
written by Frank O'Brien
... ... C/Csus... C/Csus
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
F/Am/
Knowing God is always in control
And I waited like a rose bud in the garden
For only God can unfold the rose
C/Em/ F/Am/
When God unfolds the rose He always gets it right
G/Gsus/
When the petals are in place it's such a beautiful sight
C/Em/ F/Am/
God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go
G/Gsus/
So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose
There are trials and tribulations we must all go through
F/Am/
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
F/Am/
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
C/Em/ F/Am/
When God unfolds the rose He always gets in right
G/Gsus/
When the petals are in place it's such a beautiful sight
C/Em/ F/Am/
God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go
G/Gsus/
So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose
Ending:
C/Em/ F/Am/
God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go
G/Gsus/ /
So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose
