Then Fall the Rose of Sharon

He was born as the prophets said

From the Love of God He came to this world,

Descending from his throne in the Blessed Realm.

How sweet is His mother's song.

How powerful is His Father's Joy!

He is the desire of all Creation.

Behold the Rose...



Rose of Sharon, so rich and red,

As the blood of Men of which you have become.

All hail the Rose of Sharon!



No one could deter the Master's Plan.

Not the prince of the power of the air.

For His Love of mortal Men, He donned crimson flesh.

Red was He: red like a rose.

On Golgotha He grew to His full height.

He spread His arms and blossomed out.

Behold the Rose...



Trampled by sin you fell.

Crushed and withered.

Then fall the Rose of Sharon.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This, of course, is about the crucifixion of Jesus. For those who don't know, the prince of the power of air is Satan. I know it ends with Jesus' death, but the best thing is his resurrection, of which I'm speechless.
