A Rose Among The Thorns

A Rose Among The Thorns
Recorded by The Gaithers 

G
While strolling through the fields of time
        C              G
There's many things to see

But nature is the greatest sight
A7                    D7
That there could ever be

    G
The greatest of them all to me
   C                 G
Is how the world was formed
                          Em
And why the roses have to live
G        D7        G
Each day among the thorns


One day among the world of thorns
  C             G
A rose began to grow

It was the greatest gift of God
     A7              D7
This world will ever know

   G
It was the will of God to show
     C                   G
That since the world was formed
                          Em
There had to be a rose to live
G       D7        G
And die among the thorns


Along the road to Jericho 
  C               G
A man was left to die

There like a petal from a rose 
    A7                 D7
Two men had passed Him by

  G
A neighbor and a friend came by 
    C                G
And saw His life was scorned
                          Em
With love he took care of Him 
G      D7        G
A rose among the thorns


One day among the world of thorns
  C             G
A rose began to grow

It was the greatest gift of God
     A7              D7
This world will ever know

   G
It was the will of God to show
     C                   G
That since the world was formed
                          Em
There had to be a rose to live
G       D7        G
And die among the thorns


Two thousand years will soon be gone
      C                  G
Since God looked down in love

There in the town of Bethlehem
  A7            D7
A rose began to bud

   G
It lived to bloom until one day
    C                  G
Was crushed with awful frown
                            Em
And then with love from God above
G            D7     G
Was moved to higher ground


One day among a world of thorns 
  C             G
A rose began to grow

It was the greatest gift of God
     A7              D7
This world will ever know

   G
It was the will of God to show
     C                   G
That since the world was formed
                          Em
There had to be a rose to live
G       D7        G
And die among the thorns


One day among a world of thorns 
  C             G
A rose began to grow

It was the greatest gift of God
     A7              D7
This world will ever know

   G
It was the will of God to show
     C                   G
That since the world was formed
                          Em
There had to be a rose to live
G       D7        G
And die among the thorns

                          Em
There had to be a rose to live
G       D7        G
And die among the thorns
