Analysis of Roses Sent From Him Above



Roses sent from Him above
Of which we give thanks for His love
But of the thorns do thanks we give?
For through the trials & tests we live
The Thorns give us strength & help us
Our receiving them is a must
For it is the way we learn & grow
His love & words our hearts will know
