She's A Rose From The Garden Of Prayer Lyrics - Hank Snow

Words & Music by C.E. "Hank" Snow 

There's a heart that is broken today 

There is someone who waits far away 

One who's kneeling in prayer as she waits for me there 

Asking that I might comeback some day. 

Her hands are all wrinkled with care 

The gold has all gone from her hair 

How I long to caress her my mother God bless her 

She's a rose from the garden of prayer. 

When I was a boy at her knee 

She was more than a mother to me 

As I gaze into space I can see her sweet face 

As I stood by her old rocking chair. 

When cares would impress on my brow 

Or someone would turn me away 

She would always be near me to comfort and cheer me 

She's a rose from the garden of prayer. 

So I'm leaving and heading that way 

To a mother so feeble and grey 

Where she waits there alone in our Heaven called home 

By the window she's watching for me. 

Soon my sorrows and troubles will end 

Where all nature is blooming so fair 

And I'll rest in the arms of the one that is true 

She' my rose from the garden of prayer.
