Chorus
Your roses may have thorns
But don't forget don't forget
Your thorns may have some roses too
The Lord of great compassion
Loves you yet and He will never
Fail to see you thro'
Verse 1
Life's sunshine may be checkered with its shadows
The pleasant valleys meet with rugged hills
The quiet sea may change to raging billows
But all is well if so the Father wills
Verse 2
The peaceful day may change to raging temptest
But know that after temptest comes the calm
And know that after night must come the morning
And after sad bereavement healing balm
Verse 3
The withered flowers hold the seeds of promise
The winter days are harbingers of spring
The trials that may often seem most bitter
May bring to you the joys that make you sing
Verse 4
The sorrows that have come to you unbidden
Have often bro't peace before unknown
The marker of your destiny is striving
To fit your heart to be His royal throne
