Intro

Verse 1

There've been times when I thought my prayers didn't even reach the ceiling

Of the room where I knelt to pray

And a voice inside kept asking me did I think God was really listening

To anything that I had to say

But I just kept on praying and holding on by faith

Knowing God is always in control

And I waited like a rose bud in the garden

For only God can unfold the rose

Chorus

When God unfolds the rose He always gets it right

When the petals are in place it's such a beautiful sight

God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go

So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose

Verse 2

There are trials and tribulations we must all go through

When it comes to heartaches we've all had our share

Oh but when times are the hardest we need to hold God to the promise

Said He'd never give us more than we could bear

So I'll just keep on praying and holding on by faith

Knowing God is working all things for my good

And I'll wait just like that rose bud in the garden

For only God can unfold the rose

Chorus

When God unfolds the rose He always gets in right

When the petals are in place it's such a beautiful sight

God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go

So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose

God knows when to hold on and the perfect time to let go

So let God have His way and watch God unfold the rose
