Crimson petals of the rose fall softly to an earthly mound below.
Crimson rivulets of Your lifeblood, down Your side doth flow.
Sunshine blossoms the rose and surges life through its tender veins.
Sunshine beats down upon Your thorn-marked brow and reveals Your inflicted shame.
Bowing slightly, the rose closes it blossomed bud for the night.
Bowing Your head, You utter the Father's victory and have thus, given your life.
Dew breath kisses the leaves of the rose in the morning display of affection.
Dew is evident on the boulder that's been removed to prove Your blessed resurrection.
Opening its scarlet face, the rose reaches toward the sun for yet another day of life.
Opening the clouds of glory, You, the Son, will come to retrieve Your children, for whom You had paid the price.
