Where The Roses Never Fade

I am going to a city
where the streets with gold are laid
where the tree of life is blooming
and the roses never fade 

Here they bloom but for a season
soon their beauty is decayed
I am going to a city
where the roses never fade

Loved ones gone to be with Jesus
in their robes of white array
now are waiting for my coming
where the roses never fade

Here they bloom but for a season
soon their beauty is decayed
I am going to a city
where the roses never fade

where the roses never fade

 
The Cathedrals

If you are wondering about the roses.
There are four things that God has impressed 
my heart and soul with above all else.

The delicate beauty of a rose.
The sweetness and perfection of a child.
The majesty and wonder of a tree.
The awesome power and vastness of the ocean.

There are many things of beauty in 
this world but these four go beyond just
beautiful. They are that from which
beauty and wonder take its name.
