The Beautiful Rose of Sharon

Posted on by Marla
The Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley
There is a flower that grows in the plains of Shar’on in Israel.
Some call it the Rose of Sharon. Some say it is a tulip or lily of the field.
Whatever it is, we know this, that where it grows there are thorns…
Protected from the elements, more beautiful than the robes of kings…
Saturated in waters that flow straight from Emanuel’s veins…
Soil so fertile, the flowers sing, as it is nourished by holy angel’s wings…
Gently it blows and refreshes the air…
Bowing, it kisses the ground that’s found there…
Bees tastes its nectar; butterflies futter within the airstreams…
Love is its gift, here’s what it means…
The beautiful Rose of Sharon appears,
When hearts on fire bring Spirit tears
To wash away every doubt and fear…
As the Rose is crushed to bring us here…
Giving new life in this atmosphere…
Who is this Rose of Sharon?
Jesus, the King of Heaven…
The flower is not as plentiful as it used to be…
Never-the-less it still stands in glorious beauty,
For all eternity…
For Jesus, is, the Rose of Sharon
All who believe in Him will never die.
The Holy Breath beckons you even now,
Come, hear his hearts cry…
Precious daughter, precious son
Today your life has finally begun!
In the fields of Sharon, the flower still grows…
Let me show you it’s beauty and become one of those…
Who chooses Jesus and will always follow…

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.  As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. Song of Solomon 2:1-2 King James Version

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
