The Broken Rose Lyrics - Singles - Squire Parsons

1. Words cannot describe its beauty as upon the stem it grows 

Matchless in its glory, the tender little rose 

When its petals are broken, its greatest beauty it shows 

For sweeter the fragrance of the broken Rose 

CHORUS: 

The most beautiful Rose was broken one day 

Nailed to a tree on a hill far away 

Forsaken by His friends, bruised by His foes 

How sweet is the fragrance of heaven's sweet Rose 

2. Then they laid that broken Rose in a borrowed tomb 

But on the third day, that Rose again did bloom 

Now to the heights of heaven, down to the deepest hell 

The fragrance of heaven's Rose continually dwells 

CHORUS: 

The most beautiful Rose was broken one day 

Nailed to a tree on a hill far away 

Forsaken by His friends, bruised by His foes 

How sweet is the fragrance of heaven's sweet Rose
