Petals Will Fall

by Keith Grafton © 2016

Petals will fall but your love will never fade
Like a flower that remains the same
Reminds me how much more beautifully I am made


Some flowers lay hidden in marshes and in the glades
With a will so strong we could never tame
Petals will fall but your love will never fade


The grass which is clothed in splendor and arrayed
Is thrown in the fire to burn, and carries no such shame
Reminds me how much more beautifully I am made


From the most vibrant red to the blackest nightshade
Burns the matching hue inside the flame
Petals will fall but your love will never fade


When I die upon my headstone flowers laid
Be sure to write on walls my God given name
Reminds me how much more beautifully I am made


The ultimate penalty in blood not by petals paid
For the dead, sick, and hopeless Christ came
Petals will fall but your love will never fade
Reminds me how much more beautifully I am made
