TWO ROSES by Colin Moffett © 2006 Two roses in the garden; one white and one red Grew in the soil of their summer bed Bathed in the sunshine as the butterflies flew by Their blooms lifted upwards and turned to the sky I paused for a moment with my hand on the hoe To drink in their beauty so splendid on show And the thoughts I was thinking as I stood in sunlight Was a picture of my Saviour in the roses red and white The white reminded me of purity of Jesus who came To die for me on that cross of shame The innocent for the guilty; turning darkness to light And washing my sins from scarlet to white The red reminded me of His blood running free Shed from the Lamb and flowing for me Wounds of the body and thorn crowned head And there is pardon for sin in His blood that is red The colour of their leaves reminded me of Calvary’s green hill I stood deep in thought resting on hoe still I reached to touch their beauty and was pierced by a thorn Its cruel jab reminded me of His crown on crucifixion morn Red grows the rose that reminds me of the covering for sin And white for my cleansing when I let Jesus in These were the thoughts that stirred in my head When I looked at the roses blooming white and red |
