Andrew Peterson - Mary Picked The Roses Lyrics
Mary picked the roses early in the mornMary picked the roses as the day was being bornMary picked the roses to smell their sweet perfumeMary picked the roses, but Jesus made them bloomJoseph carved a table from a piece of woodJoseph carved a table. It was his livelihoodJoseph carved a table where kings could sit to eatJoseph carved a table, but Jesus made the treeAnd I write songsThese songs I singI'd have none if not for HimAnd I know whence came the tunesBecause Jesus made the rosesJesus made the roses bloomI will soon be leaving. I will soon be goneI will soon be leaving, but I leave for you my songsThough this life is feleeting, and time is no one's friendI will soon be leaving, but Jesus never endsAnd I write songsThese songs I singI'd have none if not for HimAnd I know whence came the tunesBecause Jesus made the rosesJesus made the roses bloomAll songs copyrighted as follows:Sing Your Praise To The Lord by Meadowgreen Music Company, 1982O Come All Ye Faithful by Meadowgreen Music Co., 1982Doubly Good To You by Meadowgreen Music Co., 1982The Agony and The Glory by Grant, Inc.StraightWay Music Co.Word Music Co., 1984Reach Out and Love Again by Meadowgreen Music Co. and Handrail Music, 1983Sparrow Watcher by Meadowgreen Music Co., 1984Love Of Another Kind by Meadowgreen Music Company, 1984Jordan by Meadowgreen Music Co., 1986One Good Turn by Edward Grant Publishing Co., 1987Make Me Up by Edward Grant Publishing Co., 1987See What A Difference by Edward Grant Publishing Co., 1986-ac
