There in the rubble\u2026<\/h6>\n
Broken glass, shattered rocks and debris<\/h6>\n
All in a pile of destruction, lying in front of me\u2026<\/h6>\n
I hang my head and cry\u2026<\/h6>\n
Remembering the prophecy…<\/h6>\n
Tears fall upon the city streets<\/h6>\n
No laughter, no one there to greet\u2026<\/h6>\n
No priests, no sacrificial lamb<\/h6>\n
The Holy Place, only a trace<\/h6>\n
Of what once was God\u2019s dwelling place.<\/h6>\n
The Son of God you led to die, upon the splintered pole<\/h6>\n
Not knowing then, that it was Him, who came to make you whole\u2026<\/h6>\n
Seventy years of shedding blood<\/h6>\n
In vain you sacrificed\u2026<\/h6>\n
Messiah came, but you did not recognize<\/h6>\n
It was He, who paid the price\u2026<\/h6>\n
Standing now on broken ground<\/h6>\n
One, single, red rose, I see\u2026<\/h6>\n
Lying there, reminding me, that Jesus died on Calvary\u2026<\/h6>\n
The crushed, red, rose, like blood I see, staining his hands and feet,<\/h6>\n
Forgiving you forgiving me\u2026<\/h6>\n
Head bowed, it is finished; it is complete\u2026<\/h6>\n
From generation to generation, this will be the symbol of His love, sacred and sweet.<\/h6>\n
The fragrance of the red rose rising upon the wind\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus mending broken hearts, and building life again!<\/h6>\n
Walking among the rubble, smiling, now I know\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus is my savior, the crushed, fragrant, red rose!<\/h6>\n
