— I was walkin' in the Texas Hill Country in the late Fall and noticed a single rose growin' out of a stone…it reminded me of the power of faith we’re gifted with for every obstacle to abundant life.
Lyrics
When those autumn leaves start turnin’
Ol’ man winter’s standin’ tall
When that summer heat comes burnin’
I’m the Rose of springtime through it all
I’m your shelter from the storm
I’m the one who keeps you warm
You don’t ever need to fear
Everything you’ll ever be is here…in my arms
I am the Rose of springtime
I can’t deny the seeds of sorrow
But I will never let you fall
I can’t belie pleads for tomorrow
I’m the Rose of springtime through it all
Only God removes the causes of our pains
He brings out the flowers when it rains
I am the Rose of springtime (repeat) - through it all
It’s springtime — springtime, through it all
