Rose

She's just a rose

She's just a rose

Because He rose

Because He rose (you are a rose in the hands of God)

I pray for my daughter, I pray for her soul

I pray that she remembers everything that I taught her

Even more than cherishing anything I bought her

I pray to God that she would never get caught up

With the wrong crowd, every flower needs water

'Cause for every seed sown, another weed is growin'

So I gotta pour that water deep into her soul

The water is the word, therefore she's gotta know

That she's so beautiful yet beauty is vain

And holiness is the only beauty that remains

I know that remains to be seen and so I'm prayin'

That she would stay pure even at a young age

She's just eight so it's only the front page

In the story of her life, therefore she's unscathed

But as she grows older, gotta let her hand go

Tell her look both ways before she walks across the road

She's a rose

She's just a rose

She's just a rose

Because He rose

Because He rose

I praise God for my wife, oh, how I love her

People on the road wanna know how I met her

Mutual friend, It was summer of '97

At a singles' fellowship, yes, we exchanged numbers

Fast-forward something like five years

When I realized this woman was everything I wasn't

We transitioned from friends became lovers

In 2002, is when I became husband

Now she's wife, she's my rose

If she's a rose, then I'll take a dozen, dozen

She's every woman, when I come home hungry

There's food in the oven

She's in the ministry, nourishing the women at the church

House wife, one day she'll be a mother

She's beautiful but it's deeper then the skin

'Cause her true beauty stems from being rooted in Him

She's a rose

She's just a rose

She's just a rose

Because He rose

Because He rose
