Bill Gaither
A Rose Among The Thorns
[Verse 1]
While strolling through the fields of time
There's many things to see
But nature is the greatest sight
That there could ever be

[Verse 2]
The greatest of them all to me
Is how the world was formed
And why the roses have to live
Each day among the thorns

[Chorus]
One day among the world of thorns
A rose began to grow
It was the greatest gift of God
This world will ever know

[Post-Chorus]
It was the will of God to show
That since the world was formed
There had to be a rose to live
And die among the thorns

[Verse 3]
Along the road to Jericho
A man was left to die
There like a petal from a rose
Two men had passed Him by
[Verse 4]
A neighbor and a friend came by
And saw His life was scorned
With love he took care of Him
A rose among the thorns

[Chorus]
One day among the world of thorns
A rose began to grow
It was the greatest gift of God
This world will ever know

[Post-Chorus]
It was the will of God to show
That since the world was formed
There had to be a rose to live
And die among the thorns

[Verse 5]
Two thousand years will soon be gone
Since God looked down in love
There in the town of Bethlehem
A rose began to bud

[Verse 6]
It lived to bloom until one day
Was crushed with awful frown
And then with love from God above
Was moved to higher ground
[Chorus]
One day among the world of thorns
A rose began to grow
It was the greatest gift of God
This world will ever know

[Post-Chorus]
It was the will of God to show
That since the world was formed
There had to be a rose to live
And die among the thorns

[Chorus]
One day among the world of thorns
A rose began to grow
It was the greatest gift of God
This world will ever know

[Post-Chorus]
It was the will of God to show
That since the world was formed
There had to be a rose to live
And die among the thorns
There had to be a rose to live
And die among the thorns
