A Rosebud

It is only a tiny rosebud
A flower of God's design
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I
God opens this flower so sweetly
when in my hands they fade and die

If I cannot unfold a rosebud
This flower of Gods design
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine

So I'll trust Him for his leading
Each moment of every day
I'll look to him for his guidance
Each step of this pilgrims way

The pathway that lies before me
Only my heavenly Father knows
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments
Just as He unfolds the rose
