One perfect rose was what she gave Him
as He hung upon the cross
just to show Him that she loved Him
and for aganozing loss
One white rose was what she gave Him
as he hung upon the tree
and she bowed her head and wept in silence
as he died for you and me
A rosebud of such ptistine beauty
one white rose so wonderous fair
a rose with sweetest fragrance
to show Him that she cared
And as she knelt there by that wooden cross
upon her bended knee
she prayed a prayer for each of us
that we would surely see
That her son, her precious son
was not suffering there in vain
and for dying on that wooden cross
was the reason that he came
And as He hung between two thieves
His life came to a close
and a drop of blood splashed to the ground
and fell upon that rose
One drop of blood for purity
one drop of blood for pain
one drop of blood to tell the world
that He's coming back again
One perfect rose she placed before Him
as His life slowly ebbed away
for a mother cannot forget the sorrow
or the pain she felt that day
Now He lives with His Father in the heavens
and it's you and I He chose
and He'll be coming soon to take us home
for Jesus is
the perfect rose
