Fragile flower

FRAGILE FLOWER

Fragile flower, bending low
Bowed beneath a fall of snow
Though you fade and fall to ground
In God's arms you will be found

Fragile flower, precious one
Lent by Him who lent His son
Like an angel in the night
Healing comes with dawning light.

   Fragile flower blossoms still
   On the slopes of Zion's hill
   Tended by her loving Lord
   She will grow and be restored.

God's dear love and gracious gifts
Sometimes will bring pain like this
Yet grief will crumble into dust
When we see Him as we must.

Fragile flower, now we see
You were always meant to be
From the genesis of time
You were in the Father's mind.

Chorus 2

   Fragile flowers often grow
   Soon to wither in the snow
   Though they fade before our eyes
   Heaven's light will see them rise.
