The soldiers came to seize Him,
And to bring...

The Rose that´s gently planted,
In the garden of Delight;
Starts out as just a seedling,
Beholds the Gardener´s sight.

The Gardener gently grooms it,
With tender loving care;
And waits for Heaven´s glory,
It´s fragrance, softly...

Graduation Day

The thunder crashed, the lightning flashed,
Throughout the still of night;
God calls to Jesus Christ His Son,
And shares with Him...
